London, 4 Jun – US President Donald Trump has made it very clear, even since before he took office, that Iran needs to be dealt with firmly, and immediately. He called Iran the “number one terrorist state”. He has also made it very clear that the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was very badly negotiated, describing it as the “worst” deal.

London, 3 Jun – Last week, Hassan Rouhani was elected for a second term as the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The election, however, was a complete sham. There was nothing remotely democratic about the election, and it would be better described as a “selection process” rather than “election”, as any candidates that were not wholly faithful to the visions of the Supreme Leader were eliminated by the Guardian Council.

London, 1 Jun – The West has always failed to grasp the true reality of life in Iran. In the past few years, many have tried to convince us that the President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, is a moderate.

Former President Obama tried to make us believe that the nuclear deal was a great idea because the moderate President of Iran is the perfect person to bring about change to his country. There were many concerns about the nuclear deal but Obama brushed them to the side and continued trying to convince us that this deal would be positive for all the countries involved.

London, 1 Jun – Amnesty International has claimed that desecrating a site that is a mass grave to victims of the 1988 massacre in Iran could destroy essential and key forensic evidence.

The mass grave is located in Ahvaz in the southern part of the country and it contains the remains of at least forty people who were killed in the atrocity. Desecrating the site would mean that there is less of a chance to get justice for the victims because key forensic evidence will be destroyed.

London, 1 Jun – The Iranian regime has made claims that it is a regional power and pro-regime analysts play along with it. However, this is giving the regime unwarranted authenticity, especially at a time when Iran’s involvement in conflicts in the Middle East is at a critical level. It is making the Middle East a very unstable place and it has proxies in numerous areas.

London, 31 May – Earlier this month, the Iranian Regime held its sham elections and Hassan Rouhani was announced as the winner. However, the real winner was the Iranian Regime, who as always were able to manipulate their elections to suit their own agenda.

Iranian dissident and political analyst, Shahriar KIA, wrote an op-ed for the Daily Caller in which he dismissed the Regime’s claim that Rouhani’s election was the will of the people and foretold that this was the spark that would burn down the mullah’s regime.
