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.

Tehran Regime Attack on Saudi Arabia Demands a Response September 16, 2019 Clare M. Lopez The Iranian regime has been escalating its aggression all year, with attacks against oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, outright seizure of commercial ships and crews, drone attacks against Saudi oil infrastructure by terror proxies in Iraq and Yemen, and now, a direct attack from Iranian territory by both drones and cruise missiles against Saudi Arabia.
