Iran: Contradictory policies portray a desperate regime Written by  Mahmoud Hakamian  on  14 October 2019 . Following the Iranian regime’s claims on October 11 regarding one of its oil tankers being hit by “missiles” while sailing in the Red Sea 60 miles off the coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to this day we have witnessed a variety of contradiction’s in Tehran’s regional policy. Known for its practice of blackmailing the international community, the mullahs have a dire necessity to export crises. Recent examples include  attacking oil tankers  in regional waters and the cruise missile/drone attack against Saudi Arabia’s Aramco oil facilities. On the other hand, deeply concerned about regional isolation, various Iranian regime officials play the victim game and claim to seek peace.

EDITORIAL: Khamenei’s Well-Founded Fears

EDITORIAL: Khamenei’s Well-Founded Fears Published on  11 October 2019 . Last week, the Iranian regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei broke his 40-day silence on the crises facing his regime. In a meeting with commanders of the terrorist Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) on October 2, Khamenei expressed “utter satisfaction” with their actions and described them as his “dear children.” While trying to be circumspect, Khamenei confessed to a wave of defections in the ranks of the IRGC and called on his commanders to be ready for “big incidents,” a euphemism for the tougher times that his regime will soon face. Recent events show Khamenei’s fear to be well-founded. His regime is indeed running headlong toward “big incidents” on various fronts.

But Rouhani's actions and history show him to the contrary, proving that he is a terrorist and part of the brutal, fascist rule of the mullahs. Rouhani is the one who told parliament at the start of the anti-Shah revolution in the 1980s that those who wanted to be executed should be brought to public places so that everyone could see.he was the one who was heavily involved in the veil of discussion in society, and in the Iranian army was responsible for forcing army women to either accept the veil or expel them from the army and did so. He command in the financial sector of the IRGC base in connection with the Iran-Iraq war was over 8 years. He is the one who suppressed the student uprising in Tehran and proudly commemorated it.

There Is a Viable Alternative to Engagement and War with Existing Regime in Iran By  Ken Blackwell  | July 8, 2019, | 12:25 PM EDT Demonstrators express their support for Maryam Rajavi, democracy in Iran (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) The debate within the United States over the correct policy for dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran has long been centered on the idea of a dichotomy between engagement and war. Defenders of the status quo continue to suggest that in order to avoid armed conflict, we must turn a blind eye to the theocratic regime’s domestic repression and its propensity for mischief-making beyond Iran’s borders. Starting with that assumption, anyone who recommends a decisive alternative policy is painted as a warmonger. But this is a false narrative, which serves the interests of the Iranian regime and has roots in its own propaganda networks. Tehran’s advocates and apologists in Washington have amplified and ...
