London, 22 Jun – The Iranian Resistance group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held a press conference in Washington on Tuesday, to expose the real threat of the Iranian Regime’s ballistic weapons programme.
It appears that in the wake of the nuclear deal, which severely limited the research and development of nuclear weapons in Iran, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ordered the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to focus on their ballistic missiles instead.

London, 22 Jun – The Iranian Regime has threatened more ballistic missile strikes in Syria if they feel that their security is violated, but should anyone really be worried?
Last weekend, the Regime fired six ballistic missiles towards the Deir ez-Zor province in Syria. Reportedly, they were aiming for ISIS troops in retaliation for the terror attacks in Tehran at the beginning of the month, but the Iranians failed to notify the US-backed troops who are fighting ISIS in the area. It is possible that the Iranians did not warn the US because they accused the US of working with ISIS to plot the terror attack.

London, 22 Jun – Last weekend, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched several ballistic missiles from Western Iran headed for Syria.
They claim to have been targeting ISIS-held regions in retaliation for the recent terror attacks on Tehran but this could just be an elaborate rouse to cover up their true motive, taking control of the Deir ez-Zor province in Syria, in order to easily transport arms, money, and people between Iran and various terror groups across the Middle East.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have launched six missiles from Iran into Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria, where US-backed troops are combating ISIS, in an effort to show the US that Iran is not going to accept US sanctions against it.

London, 20 Jun – Donald Trump’s attitude towards Iran could not be more different from that of his predecessor. Whereas Barack Obama favoured attempting to open dialogue, a move that has ultimately failed, Trump prefers direct action.
However, the administration still appears stalled when it comes to an official policy towards Iran.
Dr. Ivan Sheehan, director of the graduate programs in Negotiation and Conflict Management and Global Affairs and Human Security in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore, wrote an op-ed for Townhall in which he assessed that the Trump administration must acknowledge when deciding on US policy towards Iran, that the ultimate goal is Regime change.
