Iran’s Ballistic Missile Programme: More Deadly Than We Think?

Iran Focus

London, 22 Jun – Last weekend, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched several ballistic missiles from Western Iran headed for Syria.

They claim to have been targeting ISIS-held regions in retaliation for the recent terror attacks on Tehran but this could just be an elaborate rouse to cover up their true motive, taking control of the Deir ez-Zor province in Syria, in order to easily transport arms, money, and people between Iran and various terror groups across the Middle East.

Tensions Escalate Between US and Iran in Syria

Iran Focus

London, 21 Jun – The fight between the US and Iranian proxies in Syria is escalation as both sides fight for control of former ISIS territory.

Ever since Donald Trump took office, there has been a growing antagonism between the US and Iran; from ballistic missile tests, to sanctions, to a very public war of words, but perhaps nowhere is it more obvious that their fight is escalating than in Syria.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have launched six missiles from Iran into Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria, where US-backed troops are combating ISIS, in an effort to show the US that Iran is not going to accept US sanctions against it.

US Must Support Regime Change in Iran

Iran Focus

London, 20 Jun – Donald Trump’s attitude towards Iran could not be more different from that of his predecessor. Whereas Barack Obama favoured attempting to open dialogue, a move that has ultimately failed, Trump prefers direct action.

However, the administration still appears stalled when it comes to an official policy towards Iran.

Dr. Ivan Sheehan, director of the graduate programs in Negotiation and Conflict Management and Global Affairs and Human Security in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore, wrote an op-ed for Townhall in which he assessed that the Trump administration must acknowledge when deciding on US policy towards Iran, that the ultimate goal is Regime change.

Though It May Come Back to Bite the Regime, Iran Is Always a Creator of Terrorism

Op-ed

By Colonel (Retired) Wes Martin

Earlier this month, two deadly terrorist attacks were launched within an hour of each other at Iran’s parliament building and the mausoleum of the Islamic Republic’s founder Ruhollah Khomeini. ISIS quickly claimed responsibility.

It is interesting that these attacks come at a time when President Donald Trump and his top administrators are refocusing attention upon the fact that Iran is the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism.

Iran Future After US Sanctions

Iran Focus

London, 20 Jun – Heshmat Alavi, a Human Rights Activist specialising in Iran, has analysed the new US Sanctions on Iran and how this will affect the Iranian Regime.

He highlights that the Trump administration has found the loophole to the Iranian nuclear deal which allows the international community to impose sanctions on Iran without breaking the 2015 nuclear deal which is a win for everyone.

He wrote: “Many of the new measures imposed on Iran are far more complex than any sanctions even prior to the Iran nuclear deal. There is no need for the Trump administration to tear up the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as these new sanctions provide the US President vast authority for further punitive action. This new initiative also contains a classified amendment believed to describe Iran as an extremely dangerous state.”
