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’s nuclear program is “galloping ahead” and the International Atomic Energy Agency has very limited visibility on what is happening, said IAEA chief Rafael Grossi in aninterviewwith Spain’s El Pais newspaper on July 22. These remarks have been described by analysts as a serious warming about Tehran becoming a nuclear threshold state in the near future. The Wall Street Journal published apieceon July 25 titled “The Iran Nuclear Deal’s Convulsive Death.”
All the while the claims made by Tehran paint a completely different picture. “The path is paved for an agreement in the near future,” said Tehran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson in press conference on July 20. “If the opposite party acts in logic and reason, the negotiations can lead to results,” said Iranian regime PresidentEbrahim Raision July 26.
The correct nature of these two different viewpoints can be concluded from the latest position of EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell and his op-ed in theFinancial Timeson July 26. “I have concluded that the space for additional significant compromises has been exhausted,” he emphasized.
Newspapers in Iran, such as the state-run Hamdeli daily, are also publishing articles describing the “the light of the nuclear deal is dimmer than ever,” according to a piece published on July 22. “There is no motivation to revive the JCPOA,” reads a piece in the state-run Setareyeh-Sobh daily on July 25, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal by its official acronym, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Prior to this, newspapers affiliated to regime Supreme LeaderAli Khamenei, including Kayhan, Vatan-e Emruz, and… have long described the efforts to revive the JCPOA as useless and consider the deal as a rotten corpse.
The question is when relevant parties are talking of the “JCPOA’s demise” and opportunities coming to an end for a compromise, why are we witnessing positive signals from Raisi himself and the regime’s Foreign Ministry?
The answer can be found in the unappetizing consequences of acknowledging their failure, highlighted in a piece published in the state-run Resalat daily on July 25: “Iran is not in a position to accept the responsibility, weight, and price of the nuclear negotiations reaching an official failure and the JCPOA falling short of revival… Announcing the official end of the nuclear talks and the death of the JCPOA will result in an explosive status inside Iran. In addition to the direct and immediate impact on the country’s economic conditions, the people’s living conditions, and unbridled inflation, it will have a deep psychological impact on public opinion. And most important of all, there is no method to replace the JCPOA.”
This coming from the Resalat daily, considering its close affiliations to the Iranian regime’s ruling elite, is significant in and of itself.
This “explosive status inside Iran” has led to an escalating crisis inside the mullahs’ regime. What’s even more interesting is the fact that Khamenei had Raisi be appointed as the regime president to unify his ranks and file in preparation to resolve his regime’s crises. All the while, Khamenei’s domestic calamities have prevented him and his regime from taking advantage of the opportunities placed before them thanks to the West’s appeasement policy. This can result in more sanctions against the mullahs’ regime and further fuel domestic unrest.
As a result, despite the efforts of Khamenei and his inner circle to portray a confident of their regime regarding the nuclear dossier, the death of the JCPOA will actually render an avalanche of further domestic and international predicaments for the mullahs’ regime.
Even despite the warnings issued by various observers about the mullahs’ regime reaching a nuclear threshold state, and even if they eventually obtain nuclear weapons, this will not relieve the mullahs of their main concern: the Iranian people’s enmity and their will to overthrow the regime.
Iranian Resistance LeaderMassoud Rajavisaid in January 2022: “Now that Raisi is the regime’s president, regarding the nuclear dossier, the mullahs’ regime making advances or suffering setbacks in the cat-and-mouse game over the JCPOA in 2022 will render no meaningful results. The result will be seen in further protests and uprisings.”

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 ...
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 ...
