Tehran in Meltdown as Israel Decapitates Hamas and Hezbollah

-

  By Struan Stevenson Conflagration engulfs the Middle East, with the Israel-Hamas war having gone on for more than a year now, and many Israeli hostages are still being held in deplorable conditions by Hamas terrorists. In Northern Israel, constant missile and rocket attacks by Hezbollah led to the mass evacuation of more than 70,000 Israelis from their homes in 2024 and to the inevitable military retaliation by the Israel Defense Forces, as they crossed the border into Southern Lebanon. Israeli missiles are raining down on key Hezbollah targets in Beirut. The assassination of Hezbollah’s terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, a seismic event, shattered his close friend and ally Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader and Hezbollah’s main sponsor. Nasrallah’s successor, Hashem Saffieddine, was also killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut within hours of being nominated for the Hezbollah leadership role and before the funeral of his predecessor had even taken place.

Maximum Pressure on Iran Regime Must Continue

-
By Hamideh Taati
The United States under the Trump administration has declared on a number of occasions that it will not accept Iran regime’s belligerence. It is in the midst of a maximum pressure campaign and it recently announced that the U.S. has designated the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organisation (FTO).


Last year, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would be exiting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or 2015 Iran nuclear deal as it is commonly known. Tough economic sanctions were also re-imposed and the administration announced last month that the waivers allowing certain countries to continue importing Iranian oil would not be renewed.
At the beginning of the week, the U.S. announced that it was sending an aircraft carrier and a bomber taskforce to the Middle East after it received a “credible threat” from Iran regime. John Bolton, the president’s national security adviser, made the announcement on Sunday.
In a message on Twitter, defense secretary Patrick Shanahan called on the Iranian regime to “cease all provocation”. He said that the United States will hold the regime accountable “for any attack on US forces or our interests”.
On Wednesday this week, the U.S. Central Command chief Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie spoke about the decision to send the carrier and taskforce to the Middle East explaining that it sends a very clear message to Iran and its allies that any attack it instigates “will be met with unrelenting force”.
He said: “If a fight is to be had, we will be fully prepared to respond and defend our interests. And it won't be a fair fight.”
McKenzie reiterated that the United States is not seeking war with Iran, rather it is taking a “deliberate approach” to make it clear that the U.S. is ready to respond to any further threats by the Iranian regime.
The United States has always prided itself on its ability to defend itself and it is quite right to say that it would not be a “fair fight” between the two countries. Iran is in a very delicate position and is a much weaker military force than the United States.
The Trump administration seems set on continuing the maximum pressure campaign on the Iranian regime. The move to designate the IRGC as an FTO was a bold move by the Trump administration because it is the first time a U.S. government has ever designated another country’s military as such.
McKenzie further emphasised the Trump administration’s position on Iran by highlighting that the Iranian regime is providing extensive support to a number of already designated terrorist groups such as Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and of course the Lebanese Hezbollah. He also reiterated that the Iranian regime is contributing to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen with its support of the Houthi rebels where the regime is “trying to create a Hezbollah-like state”.
In another move against the Iranian regime, the U.S. issued more sanctions regarding the country’s iron, steel, aluminium, and copper sectors just hours after the Iranian president declared that the regime would resume uranium enrichment activities.

Countering Iran’s Threat, Strategies for Regional Stability

-

  Written by Mahmoud Hakamian Two-minute read On Sunday morning, April 14, the Iranian regime launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Despite military experts’ assessments that the attack failed, it underscores  Iran’s role as a focal point  of regional conflict. The October 7th attack sent shockwaves globally. Despite ample evidence implicating the Iranian regime, Western governments dismissed Tehran’s involvement, adhering to a flawed appeasement policy toward the primary state sponsor of terrorism. They disregarded explicit statements from Revolutionary Guards  (IRGC) commanders boasting  about their direct role in the attack. For decades, the Iranian Resistance has urged the international community to adopt a resolute stance against the Iranian regime’s aggression and terrorism. Despite persistent calls, the failed appeasement policy of the West allowed Tehran to escalate its belligerent activities, including ...

Iran nuclear deal must be fixed before it is too late

By DR. MAJID RAFIZADEH President Donald Trump will make a decision on whether the US will leave or stick with the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, by May 12. It has been almost three years since the nuclear accord was reached between the Islamic Republic and the UN Security Council’s five permanent members — Russia, the UK, China, France, and the US — plus Germany (the P5+1). Since the JCPOA’s implementation day on Jan. 16, 2016, the Iranian regime has been receiving various benefits that can be divided into four categories. Based on the terms of the JCPOA, four rounds of the United Nations Security Council’s economic sanctions against Tehran were  lifted  immediately.  The regime also received  unilateral  sanctions relief from individual countries in exchange for halting its nuclear activities and dismantling some sections of its nuclear program. For instanc...

Link to call signing: https://www.change.org/p/un-secretary-general-call-for-justice-for-the-1988-iran-massacre Let's move our hands to change our world In the age of consciousness, and in the 21st century, brutality and barbarism must be stopped, this is not worthy of humanity. At the first step, you should be the center of this cruelty and the godfather of crime and murder, terrorism and fundamentalism that nobody is part of Iran's terrorist government. The fact is that the killing and execution of political and conscientious prisoners in public or in prisons is secretly in its astronomical dimensions on the coin of killing innocent people abroad by this regime. The issuance of terrorism and the support of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in this regime is institutionalized and is part of the constitution. The crimes committed by perpetrators and groups affiliated with this corrupt and expansionist state in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq ...
