London, 9 Nov – Saudi Arabia is increasing its confrontation of the Iranian Regime on serval fronts across the Middle East but so far, it has failed to stop Iran’s malign interference in any major ways.

The biggest and boldest parts of this policy come from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has launched a military campaign against Iranian proxy group, the Houthis, in Yemen and confronted Qatar over its ties with Iran, which led to a blockade of the small country earlier this year.

London, 7 Nov – No one wants an all-out war with Iran, but that is what we are heading towards at an alarming rate as the Iranian Regime expands its power over the Middle East.

Just in the last week, the Iranian Regime allowed its proxy terror cell the Houthis to launch a ballistic missile on Saudi Arabia, caused the Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri to resign in fear for his life, and been exposed as a key ally of al Qaeda.

These developments cannot be separated from Iran’s consistent involvement in regional conflicts (Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, among others) to the detriment of diplomacy and democracy. The Iranian Regime refuses to withdraw their troops (including proxy militias) from Syria, as they did with Iraq until recently and invaded Kurdistan after the Kurdish people voted for independence.

London, 7 Nov – It has been discovered that the Iranian Qods force, a more militant wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that was sanctioned by the US for terrorism, has been operating one of its entities as a private company, according to a study by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

The study found that Mahan Air Corporation has had extensive relationships with the Iranian Regime since its first days- even using government facilities to launch and expand its company. It is not merely working with the IRGC and the Qods but it fully owned and operated by them.

London, 6 Nov – Saudi Arabia has put a bounty on the heads of 40 high-ranking members of the Houthi terrorist group, which is backed by the Iranian Regime, that are wanted for terrorist activity across the Middle East.

On Monday, the Saudi Ministry of the Interior released a list of 40 leaders and other high ranking officials from within the Iran-backed Houthis who are responsible for planning, executing and supporting various terrorist activities across the region and around the world, via the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The statement listed financial rewards for information leading the location and/or arrest of these dangerous men, with $30 million offered for the Houthi leader, Abdul Malik Badreddin al-Houthi.

London, 6 Nov – A strong relationship between the Iranian Regime and Al-Qaeda has long been suspected, but recently released documents, seized during the 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan complex, confirm it.

The documents, released last week by the CIA, show a long history between the leading state sponsor of terrorism and the terror cell dating all the way back to the early 1990s.

Many who seem surprised about this mutual relationship are hung up on the Sunni/ Shiite ideological divide between the terrorist group and the rogue nation, but instead of focusing on their differences, experts should focus on what they had to offer the other.

London, 6 Nov – The Iranian Regime has claimed that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s resignation is part of a plot to “create tension in Lebanon and the entire region”, shortly after being blamed for his decision to resign.

During his unexpected resignation speech, made during a visit to Saudi Arabia on Saturday, the Sunni politician blamed the Iranian Regime’s meddling in Lebanon, specifically through its proxy terror group Hezbollah, for his decision.

Hariri, who had been in office for less than a year, stated that the Iranian Regime is responsible for “disorder and destruction” in Lebanon and across the Middle East.
