He also referred to the fact that the IRGC Basij has launched patrols in people’s neighborhoods for seven or eight months now, setting up protection for checkpoints as the public appears to become sensitive about checkpoints. “We have begun a series of plans to upgrade the IRGC Bassij… we have not rounded up our patrols and we believe our patrols are more effective than checkpoints. More recently, these Bassij patrols have been dubbed as the Razavioun network,” he said to the regime’s media.

P By Alejo Vidal-Quadras  30 August 2018 | 16:51 | Euractiv Both Facebook and Twitter recently announced that they had removed hundreds of accounts in the wake of revelations from the cybersecurity FireEye, which identified them as being linked to coordinated disinformation campaigns that originated with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The closure of more than 652 Facebook pages and nearly 300 Twitter timelines appears to confirm that, whereas Iranian efforts to influence public opinion in the West were already well known, they were in fact much more large-scale than previously suspected. The Iranian campaign was reportedly less sophisticated than its more widely publicized Russian counterpart, but it represents a steadily growing threat to the political integrity of the US and Europe, and perhaps also to the policy outcomes of those countries. To whatever extent this or other Iranian infiltration efforts proves successful, those outcomes could pose risks to Weste...

By INU Staff INU - A US lawmaker has warned that the two Iranian spies recently arrested on American soil may be just the tip of the iceberg. Two Iranian agents were arrested earlier this month for spying on the Iranian Resistance and Jewish communities in the US, but Republican Representative Peter Roskam from Illinois was not surprised and said that it was likely that Iran has many more regime-tied agents conducting intelligence operations in Iran. He  said : "This is the tip of the iceberg. This is not a surprise and this is a result of the Iran regime getting financial support from the Obama administration in the Iran deal." The Iran deal is the 2015 nuclear deal between six world powers and Iran, which gave sanctions relief to Iran in exchange for supposed restrictions on its nuclear programme. The US pulled out of the deal in May, citing Iran’s noncompliance. Roskam believes that the nuclear deal led to a lack of international repercussions on Iran for its...

Aerial view of the US embassy in Beirut, 18 April 1983, after a bomb destroyed part of the building. (AFP) By Tony Duheaume Special to Al Arabiya English Friday, 31 August 2018 Text size  A   A   A With Iran’s founder and first Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini applying the name of the Islamic Republic of Iran to his regime, after the fall of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, he tried to portray his newly created clerical dictatorship as the bastion of religious virtue. All this when in fact it was awash with revolutionary ideology steeped in mysticism, martyrdom, mass murder, extreme oppression, and a hegemonic desire to take over the whole of the Middle East, all concealed from the world through a litany of lies. The Iranian regime came into being through mass slaughter, as the revolution wound down, those opposing Khomeini were hunted down on the streets, or grabbed from their homes, and those surviving summary executions, were caged in dismal p...

(Reuters) By Reza Shafiee, Special to Al Arabiya English Saturday, 30 December 2017 Text size  A   A   A Every year, the day November 25 comes as a grim reminder that we have a long way to go for achieving gender parity. There are still many countries in the world where women cannot fully exercise the right to shape their own destiny. Violence against women is another detestable vestige of the most patriarchal societies inherited by our generation. It may seem that we have come a long way since the Dark Ages, but there are still some countries in the world that have made little progress in according equal rights to women and men. There is even a country where misogyny is the order of the day and where women have no legal rights. It may come as a shock to many, but Iran continues to run in this way. The Ir...
