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.

On April 1, reports indicated a massive attack on the Iranian regime’s consulate in Damascus, leaving several casualties, including seven senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). While saber rattling and bragging about another “harsh revenge,” Tehran hasn’t done anything.
Many experts considered this attack one of the toughest military strikes against the Iranian regime, following the elimination of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC’s extraterritorial Quds Force in 2020. Reports indicate that Tehran’s highest-ranking IRGC Quds Force commander in Syria, Mohammad Ali Zahedi, along with his deputy and chief of staff were killed in this strike.
While some tried to portray this attack as a part of a minor regional conflict, facts on the ground confirm this attack was the result of Tehran’s involvement in the current war in Gaza.
On April 3, the Council of the Coalition of Islamic Revolutionary Forces “honored (and announced) Zahedi’s role in the formation of the Resistance Front and the design of the Al-Aqsa storm operation by issuing a message.”
“Zahedi’s strategic role in the formation and strengthening of the resistance front, as well as the design and implementation of the Al-Aqsa storm, are great honors that will make this commander immortal in the history of the struggle against the occupying regime,” read the message, published by the state-run Mizan News Agency.
Since war broke out in Gaza, Iran’s religious tyranny adopted a deceptive policy. While some regime officials, including the IRGC’s spokesperson Ramezan Sharif, blatantly boasted about their direct role in the October 7 attack, other officials including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, denied any direct involvement in the conflict.
Yet, since day one, and countless times since the foundation of the Iranian regime, the Iranian Resistance announced that the “head of the snake” of warmongering is in Tehran. While the Western government tried to minimize Tehran’s role in the devastating war in Gaza, they soon had to engage with the regime’s proxies in different parts of the world.
Aside from undeniable facts confirming the regime’s involvement in what has led to the worst contemporary human tragedy, such as Tehran’s financial and material support of different terrorist proxy groups, there was another reason for Khamenei to start this war: Iran’s restive society.
Facing an explosive society, especially following five major uprisings that rattled its foundations, the regime desperately needed to export chaos abroad. Fearing a looming uprising, Khamanei instigated this war, right from his regime’s playbook, in a bid to export crises abroad. Seemingly, he has to face serious concerns about his warmongering.
Following Israel’s attack in Syria, regime officials, especially Khamenei, rushed to promise a “harsh revenge” at “a specified time and location” to “force the enemy to regret its deed.”
A few days later, nothing happened, causing more defection and increasing factional feuds in the regime.
Government-affiliated expert Mohammad Taqi Akayan, speaking in a televised interview on April 1, emphasized the gravity of recent events: “They have targeted our foremost commanders in the region. Yet, many among our populace remain unaware of the full extent of this catastrophe.”
“If we fail to deliver a direct and resolute response, rest assured, the regime’s machinations will resume imminently. They struck General Soleimani; we vowed fierce retaliation. They targeted Seyed Razi; we reiterated our commitment to unyielding retribution. They struck officials of Hashd al-Shaabi, Hezbollah, and we maintained our stance on severe retaliation. We promised to strike where they least expect it. The question remains: when will that moment arrive when they are caught off guard? Where will it originate?” he added.
“Authorities must cease employing the phrase ‘time and place for an answer’ in response to the enemy. This expression is becoming increasingly disgusting!” said Hamid Rasai, one of the regimes.’s members of parliament.
Khamenei finds himself in a precarious position. Choosing to retaliate against the attack escalates the possibility of direct confrontation, underscoring the imperative of “targeting the head of the snake.” Conversely, if Khamenei and his regime opt for inaction, discontent among regime forces will likely surge, heightening the prospect of a social upheaval. Consequently, Khamenei is ensnared in a quagmire: the more he endeavors to navigate, the deeper he sink
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 ...
