Iran Regime’s Failure to Circumvent U.S. Sanctions by Selling Oil to Private Buyers By  Mahmoud Hakamian Earlier this year, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would be exiting the 2015 nuclear deal. He explained that the nuclear threat still existed despite the nuclear agreement and said he believed it would even be guaranteed a nuclear arms race in the region. The U.S. State Department said that it expects all foreign countries to reduce their imports of Iranian oil to zero by November. President Trump’s administration has been cracking down on the Iranian regime, applying maximum economic pressure to cut it off from the funds that it uses to spread terrorism across the region and beyond. The Iranian regime has tried to counter the U.S. sanctions on its oil trade. It offered one million barrels of oil at a base price of just $79.16 per barrel to private buyers on Iran’s energy index IRENEX. Iran eventually dropped the offer to $74.85 per ...

Re-Imposing Sanctions Against Iran’s Regime Is An Undeniable Necessity By JCPOA, the United States and the European Union hoped to encourage the regime to change its behavior and cooperate with the international community.

In this regard, they inked an accord called JCPOA, which was supposed to be a comprehensive accord; in accordance with its name, to persuade the regime to put an end to employing its malign activities in the region and across the world. But instead, we witness how the regime hoodwinked its international counterparts. Likewise, the mullahs not only continue their malign activities but also increase and intensify them. In such circumstances, we need to the turnabout in the past failed policies and adopt a firm policy such as  re-imposing sanctions , as well as supporting what the Iranian people ask for.  Th...

Juvenile Execution Record: The 40-Year Achievement Of The Mullahs’ Ruling Juvenile execution  record :   The  40-year achievement of the Mullahs’ ruling It is cruel and inhuman to apply the death penalty even to adults let alone to those convicted of crimes committed under the age of 18. Moreover because of children’s immaturity, vulnerability, impulsiveness, and capacity for rehabilitation they should never face the execution, no matter how severe the crime of which they have been convicted of. Instead of that, the principle of maximizing the Juvenile offenders’ potential to be able to reintegrate into the society should be enforced by the law. Killing Juvenile during the Iran-Iraq War During the war, promising them that their sins will be forgiven, hundreds of thousands of juveniles were sent the battlefield with a plastic “key to paradise” hung around their necks, using them as cannon fodder and as human minesweepers.
