Using Apps to Fight Iranian Regime

Iran Focus

London, 9 Aug – Young people in Iran are using apps to fight oppression by the Regime; from a voting app which helps you decide which candidate is right for you to a period tracker which provides sex-ed to young women.

Firuzeh Mahmoudi, co-founder of United 4 Iran (U4I), a US-based non-profit that is working to advance civil liberties in Iran through technology, said that more Iranians than ever before are embracing the technical revolution and explained that many such apps are built by Iranians both at home and abroad.

Iran Focus

London, 9 Aug – An Iranian drone flew around an American Super Hornet fighter jet as it circled an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, according to US Defense Department officials on Tuesday.

The unarmed drone came within 100 feet of the fighter jet, which then had to swerve to avoid a collision, despite repeated radio calls from the US, demanding that the Iranian vehicle stay clear of the aircraft carrier Nimitz and the fighter jet accompanying it.

Kissinger: Do Not Allow Iran to Seize Land Liberated From ISIS

Iran Focus

London, 9 Aug – Henry Kissinger has warned that destroying ISIS could lead to a radical Iranian empire, if we aren’t careful.

The former US diplomat has speculated that once ISIS has been defeated, the Iranian Regime will seize the free territory- rather than handing it back to the rightful state- and use this to further their sectarian dreams of a new empire.

In an article for CapX, the former Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon, wrote: “If the ISIS territory is occupied by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards or Shia forces trained and directed by it, the result could be a territorial belt reaching from Tehran to Beirut, which could mark the emergence of an Iranian radical empire.”

29 years ago these days, in Iran under the mullahs’ regime, the massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners, mainly members, and supporters of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) had engulfed all of Iran.

The intensity and speed of this massacre were so severe that not only PMOI/MEK families, but all other families of prisoners sought information about their loved ones. No authorities would provide answers, however.

The signing into law of the new sanctions on Russia, North Korea and Iran and the impact of this legislation is already being felt, even before the commencement of practical measures which are on the way.

The officials of Iranian regime, in particular, are already afraid of the consequences of the new sanctions. In addition to economic implications of the sanctions, what worries them the most is the actions against the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Designating and imposing sanctions on the IRGC was long overdue. Khamenei’s military arm serves as the guarantee to preserve the entirety of the mullahs’ regime and is the main entity responsible for domestic suppression, the export of terrorism and extremism, and obtaining weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Iran Regime Looks More Like a Cause Than a Nation

Iran Focus

London, 8 Aug – To paraphrase the Henry Kissinger quote, the Iranian Regime is looking less like a nation and more like a cause, according to an expert in the Iranian Regime.

Jason Brodsky, the policy director of United against Nuclear Iran, wrote an op-ed for the Jerusalem Post in which he assessed that these next four years would prove crucial for the Iranian Regime and indeed, it is unlikely that it will remain intact.

As Iranian President Hassan Rouhani begins his second term, he faces an enormous backlash from the Iranian people, his fellow politicians, and the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

War Between Saudi Arabia and Iran Is Coming

Iran Focus

London, 8 Aug – Abdullah bin Bijad al-Otaibi, a member of the board of advisors at Al-Mesbar Studies and Research Center, wrote an op-ed for Al Arabiya in which he assessed the next big war in the Middle East would be between the Iranian Regime and the countries concerned about its destabilisation of the region.

Otaibi writes that the two countries who are most prominent in the crusade against the Iranian mullahs are Saudi Arabia and Egypt, along with their allies, because Iran has routinely targetted their stability.
