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 financing, arming, train

Iran Floods: Regime Arrests Relief Workers and Protesters

The Iran Regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) arrested at least 27 individuals over the weekend for either voluntarily providing relief to flood victims in southwest Iran, or taking part in protests over the Regime’s lack of an appropriate response to the disaster.


On Sunday, MOIS agents arrested 22 volunteer relief workers in Malashiyeh, Khuzestan Province, southwest Iran, who had travelled to (or remained in) the flood-hit areas to rescue people who were trapped, erect flood barriers, provide medical aid, make food, and distribute blankets and clothing. All of these relief workers volunteered to help and are paying for resources out of their own pockets.
The relief workers, who have been transferred to an unknown location, were identified as:
1. Ahmad Badavi
2. Ali Mousavi
3. Ali Naseri
4. Amin Seilavi
5. Aref Sarkhi
6. Ebrahim Badavi
7. Emad Heidari
8. Foad Badavi
9. Ghasem Tamimi
10. Habib Koroushat
11. Hassan Beit Eshagh
12. Hatam Dahimi
13. Heidar Seilavi
14. Hossein Hamoudi
15. Kazem Marvani
16. Masoud Harizavi
17. Mehdi Sharifi
18. Mohsen Zavidat
19. Naji Alsavari
20. Rasoul Fartousi
21. Reza Hezbavi
22. Sajad Deilami
On Saturday, five protesters were arrested for criticising the Regime’s failure to provide aid and insistence on saving their businesses rather than the Iranian people. The protesters were identified as:
1. Adnan Karim
2. Ali Kazem
3. Hamzeh Sahi
4. Mehdi Farhan
5. Mehdi Savari
However, these were far from the first arrests as a result of these protests.
Human rights groups report that 11 Arab-Iranian volunteers have arrested the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in Khuzestan Province last week for the “crime” of trying to help people in the flood-stricken village of Gurieh. They named Ahmad Ka’bi, Ebrahim Badavi, Ebrahim Dahimi, Masoud Mansouri, and Yaghoub Ka’bi as some of those arrested.
These arrests come after a month of flooding in the north, south and west of Iran with the Regime providing no assistance and often making the situation worse by pulling down flood barriers erected by local people and opening fire on residents. People have, unsurprisingly, been staging angry demonstrations over this and criticising the false reports by state-run media that the survivors are being helped by the Regime.
The flood has already devastated 1,900 cities and villages, with yet more on high-alert, but the Regime dispatched their suppressive security forces to quell protests rather than help the people. The Regime even brought in their proxy militias from across the Middle East, including the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces and the Fatemiyoun Division, which has been fighting to prop up Bashar Assad in Syria.
