Tehran in Meltdown as Israel Decapitates Hamas and Hezbollah

-
Image
  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.

Saudi-UAE ties far stronger than Iran would like

-
Image
  By   Dr. Majid Rafizadeh In order to divide and rule, one of the core pillars of the Iranian regime’s foreign policy is to create rifts between long-term allies by playing up or capitalizing on disagreements and disputes. One example was during the Trump administration, when the theocratic establishment fully exploited and took advantage of the disagreements between the EU and the US. But the disagreements between these two powers were not as permanent as the Iranian regime attempted to project. The US-EU alliance remains strong. The Iranian regime also uses the same strategy in the Gulf. For instance, Iran’s state-controlled media outlets have recently focused on and exaggerated a flare-up in OPEC tensions. The regime particularly attempted to show that the Saudi-UAE relationship had become fractious. The Iranian leaders may even attempt to predict a breakdown in the long-standing alliance due to such disagreements. But it is important to point out that these predictions ar...

Self-proclaimed Washington “Scholar” Parroting Iran Propaganda

-
Image
  By Dr. Ali Safavi Every time the principal Iranian resistance movement, the  Mojahedin-e Khalq  ( MEK ), makes headway in the campaign to unseat the murderous  theocracy  ruling Iran, AEI’s self-proclaimed “scholar” Michael Rubin parrots the same scurrilous allegations, cheaply copied from Iranian intelligence service (MOIS), and already debunked in  2006  and  2011 . Kicking and screaming in their alternate reality, Rubin and like-minded “analysts” can wax angry all they like, but the MEK’s reach and strength continue to grow, especially inside Iran. Even if Rubin is for sale, facts aren’t. Indeed, his outlandish gossip column tales, such as the jibber-jabber that MEK leaders “rule with an iron fist,” stem from his intense anger about the MEK’s continued organizational cohesion and unity, which in turn emanate precisely from the organization’s profoundly democratic internal relationships. Contrary to Rubin’s pipe dreams, apparent in his previou...

Crackdown on Khuzestan Protests: Grim Face of Systematic Impunity in Iran

-
Image
 Written by Mahmoud Hakamian The new series of  protests  started in Khuzestan province on July 14 to water shortages. The nature of protests soon changed, with people calling for regime change and chanting slogans such as “death to the dictator.”    In response, the Iranian regime opened fire on crowds. The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ( PMOI/MEK ) published the  names  of 12 martyrs of the Khuzestan uprising and other cities that rose to support Khuzestan.    As protests continue to intensify in Khuzestan and spread across Iran, the regime also increases its oppressive measures to quell the restive society. But in recent days, state-run media acknowledged that increasing oppression would only add to the people’s hatred.    The state-run Jahan-e Sanat daily on July 25 warned officials who “create new crises with their approach to the current crises.”      “The result of such behavior is to confront th...

Iran’s inflation storm

-
Image
  In its latest report, the Statistics Center of Iran has concluded a more than 30 percent increase in household expenditures for the year 2020. As usual in previous years, the largest increase among food costs was related to bread, meat, and fruit, and among non-food items, housing had the largest share. Meanwhile, in the early months of the new calendar year (starting from March 21), inflation has increased again and according to the Statistics Center it currently stands at 43 percent, indicating the highest inflation rate in Iran in the last two decades. Fruit is also removed from the families' shopping basket In a recent report from Iran food sales officials were asked about the fruit market situation. "The supply of fruit is not low, but there is no demand! Because many people do not have the power to buy summer fruits, and like protein and dairy products, Iranian families are gradually removing fruits from their shopping lists," according to a June 29 report publish...

The Tehran uprising is like the uprising of the Iranian people

-
Image
  By Reza Hoseani The nationwide uprising that started from Khuzestan Ghahraman and its flames had reached Tabriz, It continued on its twelfth day in Tehran. People chanted: Death to the dictator and Khamenei, shame on you, leave the country.   And it showed once again that the Iranian people want to overthrow the integrity of the ruling mullahs in Iran. Yes Khuzestan rose, roared and advanced and people in different parts of the country, including Lorestan and Tabriz, stood up to support it. In the early days, regime leaders said it did not matter, but now the uprising has become a source of terror for the clerical regime. As we have evaluated in previous articles, the Khuzestan uprising was the gateway to other cities and provinces, and now this uprising has reached the capital, which is the manifestation of the totality of the Iranian people. Not only have these uprisings not stopped, but in their growing process they will reach the point of regime cha...

The Tabriz protests are a turning point in the Khuzestan uprising

-
Image
  By Reza Hoseani On the tenth day of the courageous uprising of the people of southern Iran, where the mullahs' regime and its repressive apparatus were concentrated in Khuzestan, where it sent its repressive forces and cut off the Internet almost completely. Suddenly, the protests of the people of Tabriz surprised the Iran's regime   and shook it. The uprising in Tabriz, the third largest city in Iran with a population of about one million and 600 thousand people; In particular, the historical role of Tabriz in the anti-authoritarian and anti-colonial struggles of the Iranian people since the time of constitutionalism is a quality in the current uprising of the Iranian people. The Iran's regime in Khuzestan was trying to pretend that everything was over by creating a military government and cutting off the Internet and tricks. Suddenly, it was faced with the thunderous roar of Tabriz. This, first of all, indicates the ready objective conditions in the society and ...

Iran's water crisis stokes another round of protests

-
Image
  By Struan Stevenson July 26 (UPI) — Prior to the 1979 revolution, Iran’s population of 34 million people relied on a stable water supply, sourced from millennia-old underground canals and aquifers. The Iranian revolution, hijacked by the mullahs, changed all that. The theocratic regime handed control of the nationalized water industry — and indeed over 80% of all other business, industrial and service sectors — to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the regime’s equivalent of the Gestapo. The IRGC answers directly to the elderly supreme leader,  Ayatollah Ali Khamenei . It pays no tax and corruptly siphons vast financial resources into its own pockets and into financing proxy wars and terrorism across the Middle East and further afield. The IRGC members use oil revenues stolen from the Iranian people to race ahead with the clandestine construction of a nuclear weapon and ballistic missile delivery systems capable of reaching Tel Aviv, Israel. They have impoverished ...
