Mr. Ridge was the nation’s first Homeland Security Secretary and governor of Pennsylvania.
When in October 2013 then-Prime Minister of Iraq Nouri al-Maliki visited Washington for the last time, the administration was doing very little to confront his policies which eventually inflamed sectarian violence in Iraq. Washington was also reluctant to challenge Maliki’s close relationship with neighboring Iran.
Last week, Congress passed a resolution that gave it more oversight on a possible nuclear deal with Iran. Although Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ramped up the fiery rhetoric against what he described as “radicals in America,” Capitol Hill’s engagement on the issue will be essential. After all, Congressionally-mandated sanctions brought the mullahs to the negotiating table in the first place.
NCRI – Coincident with mass executions in the prisons of Ghezel-Hessar, Karaj and other cities, the anti-human regime of mullahs sent 16 other prisoners to the gallows in Mashhad and Birjand (northeastern Iran). Twelve of them were hanged collectively in Vakilabad prison of Mashhad on April 16, and the other four were executed in Birjand prison the following day. Thus, the number of executions from 12 to 18 April reached 81, meaning 12 executions per day.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that attempts by Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons is a myth fabricated by the Americans and Europeans and some countries that follow them.

On Tuesday, President Obama delivered a warning to the Iranian regime, one that urged them to respect Iraqi sovereignty, over the fight against Islamic State militants. After a White House meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, he said that Shiite fighters, ones that are backed by Iran and now battling the ISIS troops, should be directly answerable to government of Iraq.

There is little doubt that the Middle East is passing through a transformative moment. As the movement of geopolitical fault lines shakes the region, hot spots are shaping new realities and players. It is clear that the Iranian regime is playing a pronounced role through its agents in almost all the major conflicts stretching from Iraq and Syria all the way to Yemen. Echoing deep regional resentment, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently characterized this as an Iranian attempt to “dominate” the region.
