London, 29 Nov – There have been policy changes occurring in Saudi Arabia. King Salman provides direction and guidance, and his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, provides determination. The crown prince has been describes as smart leader, who listens to opinions, but makes his own decisions.

The prince spoke about a number of issues, including the problem of Iran, during his recent interview with American journalist Thomas Friedman in the New York Times. He talked about Iran, saying that the Supreme Leader of Iran is “the new Hitler of the Middle East. We learned from Europe that appeasement doesn’t work.

London, 28 Nov – Iran is in the midst of a large-scale cyber piracy operation designed to expand its influence across the Middle East- most notably in Lebanon- according to a new report from Western intelligence.

London, 28 Nov – As ISIS continues to lose territory in the Middle East, the Iranian Regime is gearing up to pose a much bigger danger to the region and the world as a whole.

While the Regime has been a danger since its inception in 1979, many people are only waking up to it now as its role in various regional conflicts across the Middle East (including Syria and Yemen).

Syria

In Syria, Iran and its terrorist proxy militia Hezbollah have sent fighters (including refugee children) to fight on behalf of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and to suppress the Syrian people’s legitimate cry for freedom.

London, 28 Nov – Since US policy on the Iranian Regime has changed from one of appeasement to one of confrontation, the Regime is slowing starting to face consequences for its actions, and they are beginning to lose their hold on the Middle East.

In response, the mullahs have resorted to their most tried and true tactic for slowing the tide of regime change: demonising the Iranian Resistance.

This is by no means a new policy- the Regime began to demonise those calling for democracy in 1979- but there has recently been a surge in the levels.

by Jubin Katiraie

The United States and its allies have been trying to deal with Iran regime for a long time. There have been failed policies of appeasement in which leaders reach out to the “moderates” in the regime and there has not yet been a strategy that confronts the whole issue.

Human rights is something that has been not been prioritised, with leaders preferring to deal with specific issues. Leaders in the EU are trying to address Iran’s belligerence by creating economic opportunities for Iran, and the Obama administration led the way in ignoring Iran’s aggression and giving it incentive after incentive.

London, 27 Nov – Lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri said that he would not accept the dangerous positions of Hezbollah (a terrorist group backed by the Iranian Regime) that are designed to destabilise the Middle East, according to a statement from his press office on Saturday.

In the statement, he said that on certain issues Iran-backed Hezbollah’s positions negatively affected “our Arab brothers or target the security and stability of their countries”.

Although the statement did not specify which Middle Eastern countries he meant, one can deduce that Israel and Saudi Arabia were among them given the Iranian Regime’s consistent targeting of the two countries through proxy groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
