Iran Nationwide Uprising

The suppressive forces set up checkpoints, blocking people’s paths, including Shirabad and Karimabad paths so that they could not reach Makki Mosque for the prayers. On Tuesday, January 3, the regime’s judiciary in Zahedan sentenced to death a young man arrested during the uprising in this city, named Mansour Dahmardeh, who suffers from a physical disability. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said that despite the suppressive measures, the Baluch compatriots showed that the people of Iran want the overthrow of the regime and the establishment of democracy and people’s sovereignty.

Iran: Great Replacement Ahead?

By: Amir TaheriSince 1979, when the mullahs seized power, Iran has topped the list of countries hit by “brain drain”. Only 10 percent of would-be emigrants are willing to go “anywhere else” to get out of Iran. The study shows that a majority of would-be emigrants are young, highly educated, unmarried people from urban areas. The study shows that the desire to flee Iran isn’t caused by economic hardship, unemployment or inflation. According to official media, many of the students remain in Iran after completing their courses and get married to Iranians.

US and Iran clash over Russia using Iran drones in Ukraine

“Let’s make it clear: pressure, intimidation and confrontation are not solutions and will get nowhere,” Iravani said. Iran is ready to resume talks and arrange a ministerial meeting “as soon as possible to declare the JCPOA restoration,” Iravani said. Iran’s Iravani emphasized that all of Iran’s nuclear activities “are peaceful” and said Iran is ready to engage the IAEA to resolve outstanding issues on nuclear safeguards. As for what he called the “unfounded allegation” that Iran transferred drones to Russia in violation of the 2015 resolution, Iravani stressed that all restrictions on transferring arms to and from Iran were terminated in October 2020. He insisted that Iran is barred from transferring these types of drones without prior Security Council approval under an annex to the 2015 resolution.

Biden cannot ignore Iran

The Biden administration’s Iran policy highlights the threats posed by a nuclear Iran while failing to recognize and address that a non-nuclear Iran can be just as dangerous. The Biden administration should review and reevaluate its Iran policy in four ways to maintain stability in the Middle East and contain Russia. First, the Biden administration should stop negotiations with Iran on the nuclear deal because they do not solve the Iran nuclear problem. A new Iran policy would acknowledge the connection to proxies and the threat that Iran poses outside its borders within the region at large. The Biden administration needs to abandon hopes that Iran will start wanting to work together with the West and recognize that its actions strongly indicate otherwise.

Understanding the EU push against Iran

After days of media and diplomatic allegations against Iran, the EU ultimately slapped sanctions on Iran for Tehran’s alleged provision of drones to Russia for use in Ukraine. The new sanctions come amid continued Western allegations over Iran allegedly providing Russia with kamikaze drones and missiles for use in Ukraine, a claim that Iran roundly rejected. In his recent phone conversation with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian made it clear that Iran does not supply Russia with arms. The Iranian foreign minister said Iran has defense cooperation with Russia, but Tehran's policy regarding the Ukraine war is to respect the country's territorial integrity. Amir Abdollahian said Iran is opposed to war and it vehemently rejects claims that it has given Russia drones for use in the conflict in Ukraine.

Iran, Russia axis of independence

“As part of the enhanced partnership, Russia may be providing Iran with advanced military equipment and components, including helicopters and air defense systems. While Iran and Russia have not confirmed US allegations yet, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby openly accused Iran and Russia of deepening their military cooperation. He said Russia was offering Iran "an unprecedented level of military and technical support that is transforming their relationship into a full-fledged defense partnership." Kirby said Russia and Iran were considering standing up a drone assembly line in Russia for the Ukraine conflict, while Russia was training Iranian pilots on the Sukhoi Su-35 fighter and Iran could receive deliveries of the plane within the year, according to a CBS News report. “Russia is now attempting to obtain more weapons, including hundreds of ballistic missiles,” said Woodward, adding, “In return, Russia is offering Iran an unprecedented level of military and technical support.

Iran: West blames Islamic Republic

The pro-government Iran newspaper pointed to the Washington Post’s report claiming that Iran is seeking to assassinate some of its opponents in other countries. On Thursday, the Washington Post ran a strange story titled “Rise in Iranian assassination, kidnapping plots alarms Western officials”. The newspaper said the report by the Washington Post, which lacks any evidence, strengthens the suspicion that those opposed to the Islamic Republic are seeking assassinate some anti-Iran figures intheir countries and attribute them to the Islamic Republic, and thereby provide a new excuse for further pressure on Iran. The summoning an Iranian diplomat to the British Foreign Office and claiming that some anti-Iranian media journalists are being threatened by the Iranian government prove the intention behind such accusation, the Iran newspaper said. “France and the United States will work with partners to enhance cooperation regarding enforcement of relevant UN Security Council resolutions and countering these activities,” the statement pointed out.

Iran: will back anyone battling Israel

The reaffirmation of violence came during a visit by the top diplomat of the Islamic Republic to its terrorist proxies in Lebanon. By Jonathan Hessen and Erin Viner“The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue supporting the Islamic resistance in Lebanon and Palestine,” Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian proclaimed at a press conference in Beirut. He went on to declare that Tehran “considers Lebanon’s security” as important as “Iran’s and the region’s security” – effectively insinuating that any attack on Iran would also draw Lebanon into war. Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and the Gaza-based Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Secretary General Ziad Al-Nakhala held talks with their patron’s minister in discussion focused on military preparations and activities directed against Israel. The Iranian minister also met with the Lebanese caretaker government, which is effectively controlled by the powerful Hezbollah terror organization.
