If Aleppo Falls, Will Iran and ISIS Rise?

Iran Focus

London, 10 Dec – The big worry over fall of Aleppo is the way in which it will fall.

Will there be a bloodbath, or can Secretary of State John Kerry negotiate a way out for the civilians trapped with the rebels in the eastern portion of the city? Additionally, although Aleppo’s fall won’t end the war, the US and the moderate rebels want to frame the surrender of the city as something other than a defeat.

On December 8, CBS News published an article by Margaret Brennan looks at how the surrender of Allepo will affect the Middle East.

Why the Iranian Economy Has Plunged Into Recession Despite the Lifting of Sanctions?

Iran Focus

London, 8 Dec – The Iranian Resistance has provided an in-depth look into why the Iranian economy has plunged into recession despite the lifting of sanctions.

The Myth of a Moderate Iranian Regime

Iran Focus

London, 8 Dec – The Iranian Regime’s judicial system is not unlike that of the science fiction movie Minority Report, according to human rights activist Arash Sobhani at The Huffington Post.

In Minority Report, citizens are arrested because they know about crimes yet to be committed and yet somehow, the Iranian Regime have found a way to one up (or one down) the Steven Spielberg thriller.
