London, 29 Nov – In his article for The Daily Caller, Heshmat Alavi, a political and rights activist focusing on Iran, writes about the unexpected turn of events for Iran, with the election of Donald Trump as the new president of the United States. Now the Iranian regime is weighing its policy approach, foreign in particular.
The appeasement policy adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and his administration was taken full advantage of, using its windfall to fuel the Syrian War of ally Bashar Assad.

London, 29 Nov – Breitbart has accused Politico of left-wing bias following a publication last week which accused former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani of taking money from the Iranian opposition group, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI-MEK).
The Iranian Resistance forces vehemently oppose terrorism, which is one of the many reasons they work against the Iranian Regime in spite of the danger it puts them in. For Benjamin to state otherwise is frankly an insult to those who have died as a result of the Iranian Regime’s terrorism.
