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.

New revelations show Iran’s Role in Sea of Oman Oil Tankers Attack

-
By Heshmat Alavi
The June 12 attack targeting two oil tankers in the Sea of Oman was carried out by a special unit of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Navy, according to Majid Hariri, a member of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).



The attack was launched under orders from IRGC Brigadier General Ali Fadavi and in collaboration with a naval base associated to the IRGC in the port of Jask, southern Iran, just 30 miles from the location where the oil tankers were attacked, the NCRI member said in an interview with the Syrian opposition Orient TV network.
Tehran’s objective in this attack was to save face and prevent a massive drop in spirits among its IRGC ranks and file as domestic and international crises are engulfing the regime in Iran. By disrupting regional security and oil transfers, Iran sought to decrease the impact of ongoing political, social and economic dilemmas that have a suffocating and overwhelming effect on their entire apparatus.

Wait, being a “hawk” is no longer just about military force? Even tough economic sanctions make you a “hawk”?

And yes, I support any policy that makes it harder for to get money they will spend on terrorism & missiles. https://politi.co/31OQGnI

Realizing the United States’ main strategy is not to launch a new war, the Iranian regime resorted to these latest series of provocative measures:
  • Attacking oil tankers in the Sea of Oman
  • Iran-backed Houthis launching continuous drone attacks targeting civilian airports and vital oil facilities in Saudi Arabia
  • IRGC-backed Iraqi militias launching rocket attacks near the U.S. Embassy and various military bases in Iraq
  • And most recently, downing a U.S. drone in international airspace near the Strait of Hormuz
Based on an inside note obtained by the Iranian opposition from an Iranian Intelligence Ministry official in regards to the regime’s policies vis-à-vis the U.S., Tehran sought to send a message to Washington: if our interests are threatened, the entire region will be engulfed in crises.
Iran will most possibly expand its operations across the Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman, according to Hariri. Tehran has recently established three naval bases in city of Jask and increased its military presence in this area, the report adds.
Based on the Iranian regime’s unconventional naval warfare doctrine, using sea mines to threaten ships in the Sea of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz is a known method periodically reiterated in the IRGC’s threats.
In further reports, the Israeli intelligence service are also placing their crosshairs on Iran’s regime.

Israeli intelligence and security agencies have reached a conclusion in their analysis that Iran’s IRGC was behind the attack on two oil tankers in the Sea of Oman, according to Israel’s Channel 13 TV.
Israeli intelligence agencies began analyzing their data following the attacks, concluding that the IRGC used sea mines and torpedoes in this attack, according to the report, aired Saturday evening local time.
As a result, Israel is now alongside the U.S. and UK in holding Iran’s regime responsible for these attacks.
Two weeks ago, Israel’s Kann TV reported the Mossad had delivered evidence to its intelligence partners on Iran’s role in last month’s attack targeting four oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. The receiving parties have reportedly presented their evidence to the United Nations.
At the end of the day, it is quite obvious that the only party that could possibly have any interest in conducting such attacks and disrupting regional security is Iran’s regime.
Under heavy sanctions and considering any negotiation with the U.S. in such circumstances as a humiliating blow, Tehran intends to force Washington into launching a new war in the region. In Tehran’s point of view, such an outcome can result in:
  • Skyrocketing oil prices
  • Portraying the U.S. as the aggressor and Iran as the innocent party
  • S. President Donald Trump facing opposition to any war both inside his country and isolation abroad
  • Iran being able to kick the can down the road and hoping Trump will lose in November 2020
President Trump’s strategy – especially the recent sanctions targeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his massive economic apparatus in Iran – has foiled all of Tehran’s plots.
The road ahead looks promising.

Countering Iran’s Threat, Strategies for Regional Stability

-
Image
  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.

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 ...
