Nikki Haley Accuses Iran of Assisting Houthis With Illegal Ballistic Missiles in Saudi Bombings

Iran Focus

London, 20 Jan – According to remarks her to the U.N. Security Council on Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said that the Islamic Republic of Iran has illegally shipped ballistic missiles to regional proxies that have in turn targeted civilians. In a scathing broadside against Iran during a discussion on nuclear proliferation, Haley said, “[Iran] provides ballistic missiles in violation of U.N. arms embargoes. Its proxies launch them at civilian targets, as we saw when Houthi militias in Yemen fired an Iranian-supplied missile at an airport in Riyadh.” She called the regime in Tehran “the leading cause of instability in an unstable part of the world.”

Why Khamenei Finally Broke His Deadly Silence Against the Mek/ Pmoi and Ncri?

by Jubin Katiraie

After a fatal and long-lasting muteness, Khamenei spoke on the thirteenth day of the uprising and showed his panic and fear over the people’s fury, with an inverse tone, he reiterated the fact that the Iranian Resistance and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) are the alternative to his regime.

Khamenei stated: the MEK “had been ready since months ago … since several months ago (they were ready) to organize, and meet this person and that one; and to select some people inside the country, find them and help them, so they would come and call on the people. They (MEK) announced their call, and made the slogan “No to high prices”. Well, this is a slogan that everyone likes. They (MEKO managed to attract some people with this slogan. And then, they(MEK) could come to the scene and pursue their goals, and make the people follow them”.

Iran’s Protests Won’t Be Silenced for Long

Iran Focus

London, 19 Jan – The current protests in Iran may have been suppressed by the Regime, but that won’t last.

The problems that caused the protests remain and it won’t be long before the people take to the streets again, particularly the Iranian youth who are especially angry about the lack of freedom their people experience.

Ahmad Majidyar, a South Asia and Middle East expert for the Washington-based Middle East Institute, said: “Young Iranians hold higher expectations, have greater access to information and exposure to the outside world, and aspire to more freedoms and opportunities.”

The Syrian Druze and Their Uneasy Alliance With Iran

Iran Focus

London, 18 Jan – The Druze, one of Syria’s most significant minority ethnic and religious groups, have remained on the sidelines of the contry’s seven year civil war. They have managed to keep their own survival their biggest priority, and have navigated a path that stayed between the regime and its op¬ponents.

The Druze have interests that appear to have gradually aligned with those of the regime and its allies, but remain uneasy with Iran, one of Damascus’s principal allies.

According to Syrian journalist Talal el- Atrache, there are three Druze areas in Syria: Sweida province in the south-east; Mount Hermon, in the south-west; and Jaramana and Sahnaya, which are two large suburbs south of Damascus. Pro-government militias made up mostly of Druze have waged battles when their territo¬ries were attacked.

Trump’s New Approach to Iran

Iran Focus

London, 18 Jan – Even if the Iranian Regime was correct in its assessment that the popular people’s protest was waning, the US’s reaction is just getting started.

Last Friday, Donald Trump decided to continue to waive broad sanctions on the Iranian Regime until May, when he would pull the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal if improvements could not be made.

However, just to make it clear that he wasn’t playing softball with the Regime at a time when its own people were taking to the streets to call for the heads of their rulers, Trump also issued new targeted human rights sanctions against key people and institutions in Iran.

Iran’s Foreign Wars Are Fuelling the People’s Dissent

Iran Focus

London, 18 Jan – The problems facing the Iranian Regime right now are not unique- an angry populace driven to the streets is actually fairly common in dictatorships- and it foretells the end of the mullahs’ rule.

The Iranian Regime has been content to ignore the plight of its people and spend its money on costly foreign wars to spread the ‘Islamic’ revolution abroad, its private police force (the Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC)) to keep the people in line, and to fill its own pockets. Now, the people who are left unemployed and starving by the Regime’s greed are going to take them down.

Trump’s New Plans for Iran Deal

Iran Focus

London, 18 Jan – Donald Trump reopened the debate on the Iranian nuclear deal, last week, when he announced that he would waive the sanctions until May, but after that something would need to change.

As of yet, Trump isn’t pulling the US out of the 2015 pact between six world powers and Iran, but he is demanding that Congress produce legislation to fix the deal and ensure that if the US remains a party to it, Iran will not be able to create a nuclear weapon.
