London, 15 Nov – As ISIS is rapidly losing ground in Syria and Iraq, the Iranian Regime is helping the world’s most well-known terrorist group come back from the ashes.

We now know that the Iranian Regime has made a secret pact with Al-Qaeda to rebuild the terrorist group and help it prepare for phase two.

This shocking information was revealed in an investigative report by The Atlantic, which featured interviews with several of Osama bin Laden’s family members and Al-Qaeda members, published just days after the CIA declassified documents from the 2011 raid on bin Laden’s Pakistan complex, in which bin Laden died.

London, 15 Nov – The Iran-backed Houthi militia has launched 70 ballistic missiles against Saudi Arabia since the Saudi-led operation to restore the legitimate government in Yemen began in 2015.

London, 15 Nov – Following Sunday’s earthquake that killed over 530 people, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani promised to launch an investigation into why housing built by the Regime under former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad collapsed while privately built homes were able to withstand the 7.3 magnitude tremors.

However, the explanation is simple. Widespread corruption in the Iranian Regime meant that money was leeched from the housing project- as it is with any other project that should benefit the Iranian people- and shoddy houses were built with substandard materials. This is why so many died.

Iran Focus

London, 15 Nov – The Iranian Regime has presented their costly list of ransom demands in order to secure the release of wrongfully-jailed British charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe to Foreign Office ministers.

If the UK government wishes to secure the release of Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was arrested by the Regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) militia group in April 2016 on her way back from a family holiday, they will have to:

• pay a £400 million bill for breaking a deal to sell Chieftan tanks to Iran in 1979 (because after the Regime took over, Britain didn’t want to supply them with military equipment)

London, 14 Nov – Back in January, a highly-sophisticated radio-detonated bomb exploded at a Kandahar government building where United Arab Emirates (UAE) diplomats were meeting to discuss their proposed humanitarian projects in Afghanistan, killing 12 and injuring 14.

Among the dead, was Kandahar’s deputy governor, Abdul Ali Shamsi, Afghan diplomat Yama Quraishi, and five UAE humanitarian workers.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for three other suicide bombings that day but fervently denied responsibility for this one, even sending a delegation to mourn the diplomats and explain that they were not involved. So who was?

Hundreds of Iranian Entities Are Still Sanctioned by the US and for Good Reason

Iran Focus

London, 14 Nov – In January 2016, it was announced that the Iranian Regime had met its obligations under the 2015 nuclear agreement signed between Iran and the P5+1 countries and would be receiving its first round of sanctions relief.

This meant that hundreds of Iranian entities were removed from blacklists maintained by the United Nations, European Union, and the United States, from ‘private’ companies to individuals to government organizations.

We now know that Iran was in fact not meeting its obligations, which has led to Donald Trump’s decertification on the nuclear deal and a tougher policy on Iran.
