Iran’s Houthis fire more missiles at Saudi Arabia

Iran Focus

London, 10 May – The Iran-backed Houthis fired several ballistic missiles at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday, but, luckily, these were intercepted by the kingdom’s missile defence systems and there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

This attack came only one day after the US – Saudi Arabia’s top Western ally – withdrew from the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal, which could mean that Iran may well target US allies and interests in the Middle East in retaliation.

The Iran-backed Houthis, who control the majority of Yemen since their takeover in 2014, reported that the missiles were aimed at economic targets in Riyadh. They have fired a series of ballistic missiles, at least some of which are proven by the UN to be Iranian-made, at Saudi Arabia in the past year.

U.S. National Security Advisor on Pullout from Iran Nuclear Deal

Iran Focus

London, 9 May – In advance of the May 12th deadline, in an address from the White House on Tuesday, Trump announced that the United States is leaving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and re-imposing all economic sanctions lifted or waived under the agreement, calling it a “decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement.” He stated that, “The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen. In just a short period of time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapons.”

U.S. Withdraws From Nuclear Deal, Iranian Resistance Highlights That Regime Change Is Essential

U.S. withdraws from nuclear deal, Iranian Resistance highlights that regime change is essential

Iran Focus

London, 9 May – In the wake of Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the Iranian Resistance have issued a statement welcoming the move, but also reminding the world that the only hope for peace, democracy, security, and stability in Iran is to remove the ruling mullahs from power altogether.

When Trump pulled out of the deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), he not only killed the fatally flawed agreement, but also ended 40 years of appeasement of the Regime by the US. In his withdrawal speech, Trump noted that he would move to reinstate sanctions on the clerical regime as soon as possible, acknowledging that money received by Iran as a result of this deal had not improved the lives of Iranians (i.e. funding a healthcare system), but had actually been used to prop up their malign military programme.

Iran Focus

London, 9 May – Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States has applauded Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and to reimpose sanctions on the country.

Ambassador Prince Khalid bin Salman responded on Twitter that the deal has only fueled Iran’s expansionist ideological drives across the Middle East.

Prince Khalid bin Salman wrote: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia fully supports the measures taken by [Trump] with regards to the JCPOA. we always had reservations with regards to sunset clauses, ballistic missiles program, and Iran’s support for terrorism in the region. As I said before with regards to the deal, we are on autopilot heading towards a mountain. [The] deal has fueled Iran’s malicious expansion driven by its extremist ideology. It provided Iran with a financial windfall that it used to further sectarian strife/chaos in the region.”

Iran: Trump pulls out of the nuclear deal

Iran Focus

London, 9 May – Despite pleas from the European signatories of the deal, US President Donald Trump announced yesterday that the United States will withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Many are saying that this will show the United States as being a bad player in future agreements because it cannot keep its word.

However, all you had to do was listen to Trump’s speech to understand why it is impossible for the United States to be part of the deal. He reminded us that Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism that fuels conflicts across the region, supports terrorist militias and proxy groups and exports missiles.

New Report Explores Iran’s Attempts to Destroy MEK

New report explores Iran’s attempts to destroy MEK

By Jubin Katiraie

It is no secret that Iranian mullahs have frequently tried to demonise their legitimate opposition movement, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), in the eyes of both the Iranian people and the international community.

Indeed, Iran is so scared of the power of the MEK, that they consistently use malign disinformation campaigns (using fake news and lying agents) to discredit the MEK’s legitimacy, use their suppressive security forces to arrest, torture, and murder MEK members, and even pursue MEK dissidents abroad to assassinate them on the streets of Europe.

Iran Focus

London, 8 May – The Arab Gulf countries have rallied behind Morocco after it severed its diplomatic ties with Iran, shortly after the North African state accused the Iranian mullahs of supporting the Algeria-backed Polisario Front in Western Sahara.

The separatist movement, which the Regime is reported to have trained, funded, and armed, reportedly sent fighters to UN-monitored buffer zones.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates all voiced their support for Morroco’s decision, shortly after Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita announced that the Polisario Front had recently received “a first shipment” of weapons via an “element” at the Iranian Embassy in Algeria.

Solution to JCPOA crisis: change in Iran

Iran Focus

London, 8 May – As Donald Trump’s final decision on the Iran Nuclear Deal, otherwise known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is due later today, it seems about time we look at a way out of the crisis.

It seems likely that Trump will pull out of the deal, despite last-minute attempts to convince him otherwise by France, Germany, and the UK. We can guess that Trump will withdraw, given that he has previously promised to, that he has stacked his cabinet with Iran hawks, and as fixes that he wanted to the deal have not materialised.
