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.

Iran-China Deal: Mullahs’ Disgraceful Agreement To Keep Their Regime in Power

-

 Written by Shamsi Saadati

In a disgraceful agreement, the mullahs’ regime auctioned Iran’s natural resources and national wealth to China on Saturday. This so-called “strategic and comprehensive plan” was finalized in 2013, when the Chinese president met with the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. The question is why the regime has signed such an agreement, while many of its officials call this agreement disgraceful?



Khamenei and his regime refuse to publish details of this agreement.

“[The regime] may have given concessions to its counterpart [China] for being under sanctions. The powerful counterpart will receive the lion’s share of this agreement. We could accept this criticism [that the regime is auctioning Iran], and it is true. Because the foreign policy has somehow distanced from nationalists’ ideals in decades ago,” wrote the state-run Arman daily on Saturday.

In another article, Arman daily on Saturday wrote: “From the beginning of the revolution, we thought that because Iran was rich, this wealth should be used for political and security purposes and the revolution should be exported. As a result, Iran’s economy has always been at the service of politics and security. These two misconceptions have led the value of the national currency to free fall in the face of sanctions. Due to the lack of strong economic structures, other parameters have also fallen, and innocent people are under the pressure of domestic mismanagement and large-scale embezzlements. The middle-class families have fallen under the poverty line.”

The regime state-run media had previously warned that China is not a reliable partner for the regime. “In a crucial situation, China, such as Russia, preserved its interests with the U.S. When it was needed, if its interests were jeopardized, turned its back on the Islamic Republic,” wrote the state-run Jahan-e Sanat daily in an article in this regard, entitled “Reliable partner or a fair-weather?” in July 2020.

The regime intends to find a way to save the economy from collapsing, fund its illicit activities and, more importantly, prevent its downfall by popular uprisings by impoverished and angry people.

  • In an article in September 2019, Petroleum-Economist disclosed some of the articles of the agreement:
  • “Chinese companies will be given the first refusal to bid on any new, stalled, or uncompleted oil and gas field developments.
  • Chinese firms will also have the first refusal on opportunities to become involved with any and all petrochemicals.
  • Projects in Iran, including the provision of technology, systems, process ingredients, and personnel required to complete such projects.
  • China will also be able to buy any and all oil, gas, and petrochemicals products at a minimum guaranteed discount of 12pc to the six-month rolling mean price of comparable benchmark products, plus another 6pc to 8pc of that metric for risk-adjusted compensation.
  • China intends to utilize the low-cost labor available in Iran to build factories, designed and overseen by large Chinese manufacturing companies, with identical specifications and operations to those in China, according to the Iranian source.”

In return, the regime will have this chance to strengthen its oppressive forces. Another fact that shows how mullahs use Iran’s wealth to keep their regime in power.

“Part of the new military co-operation includes an exchange of personnel between Iran and China and Russia, with up to 110 senior Iranian IRGC men going for training every year in Beijing and Moscow and 110 Chinese and Russians going to Tehran for their training,” wrote the Oil Price website wrote on July 6, 2020, in this regard.

Concerning this deal Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said: “The anti-Iranian mullahs’ regime auctioned the resources and properties of the people of Iran in a 25-year contract with China. Last year, I did emphasize that the lives and health of Iranians, their water and land, their culture, and national resources do not have any value for Khamenei, Rouhani, and other regime leaders. The mullahs only think of preserving their own religious fascist dictatorship, which Khomeini said is the most important issue. He said they could even forsake the precepts of Islam to preserve the regime. Therefore, the mullahs could not care less about protecting the Iranian people’s assets and resources.”

Iranians quickly reacted to the regime’s disgraceful agreement with China. On Saturday, a dozen cities across Iran witnessed protests by people calling for the deal to be canceled. This deal will weaken Iran’s collapsing economy. Iranians are now facing skyrocketing prices and unbridled inflation amid the Covid-19 outbreak. Instead of addressing Iran’s economic crisis, the regime has now auctioned Iran’s national wealth.

This will certainly anger Iranians and adds to society’s restiveness, which is already on the verge of explosion.

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...

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 ...
