Iran Focus

London, 8 Dec – The Iranian Regime’s ever-growing network of hackers- and their various hacks- show no sign of slowing down, according to new research by the security firm FireEye.

The report, published on Thursday, showed that a new Iranian regime network reconnaissance group called Advanced Persistent Threat 34 has spent years infiltrating critical infrastructure companies.

This report, which contains research collected by a team of 34 researchers between 2015 and 2017, is a warning about the danger that the international community could face if Iran isn’t stopped, especially considering their previous aggressive hacks on the financial sector and a New York dam.

London, 8 Dec – The Iranian Regime is the common link between so many of the recent crises in the Middle East and everyone- including Iran- is focused on Iran’s growing power and influence and many people are being driven crazy by it.

The US wants to withdraw from the Middle East but without leaving the region as a puppet for the Regime, while Saudi Arabia wants to focus on domestic issues without leaving Iran to take over its neighbouring states.

The Iranian Regime wants to spread its power from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean through proxy groups and violent takeovers in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq.

London, 8 Dec – The Iranian Regime should be held accountable for its horrific crimes against humanity, according to an Iranian-American political scientist.

Dr. Majid Rafizadeh, a leading expert on Iran and US foreign policy, wrote an op-ed for Arab News lamenting that little attention has been given to the Iranian Regime’s role in the assassination of Yemen’s former President, Ali Abdullah Saleh.

While the Houthi gunmen are the ones who pulled the trigger, the Iranian Regime are the ones who effectively loaded the gun and told them where to aim.

London, 7 Dec – An Iranian-backed militia in Iraq has threatened to attack American forces in the country over Donald Trump’s decision to officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv.

Al-Nojaba militia chief Akram al-Kaabi said in a statement: “The decision by Trump on Al-Quds [Jerusalem] makes it legitimate to strike the American forces in Iraq.”

The number of US troops in Iraq- who are fighting ISIS- varies between 5,000 and 9,000 depending on which figures you use.

There are roughly 1,500 fighters in this group, which was established in 2013 and is supported by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

Houthis Failing in Yemen Could Bring the Iranian Regime Down Too

London, 7 Dec – The Iran-backed Houthis are quickly losing power in Yemen, as infighting between them and fellow rebel group the General People’s Congress (GPC) grows, and it is likely that they will take the Iranian Regime down with them.

This break up is not a sudden thing but was widely expected for a long time. Although the groups originally had shared interests, they no longer do, making an alliance fairly pointless.

The Houthis, who used the GPC in an attempt to gain some political legitimacy, are no more than an Iranian proxy and express far greater loyalty to the mullahs who kept them going for this three-year war than the Yemeni people.
