Iran’s Role In Recent Saudi Attack Amid Internal Protests – OpEd   September 18, 2019 By  Hassan Mahmoudi Amid all the calls for de-escalation, Iran was responsible for the attacks on vital Saudi Arabian oil installations over the weekend that cut the global oil supplies to half. During nationally televised remarks on September 17, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said: “Iran will never hold talks with America.” Despite enduring painful economic restrictions, in his speech on May 14, 2019, he emphasized the need for a ‘prudent resistance’ policy, to include continuing to develop Iran’s missile program, maintaining the regime’s support of terrorism abroad and blocking the protests inside the country. In his eyes, ‘resistance’ is the key to the Islamic Republic’s forty years of survival. However, for the people of Iran, Khamenei’s ‘prudent resistance’ translates into brutal suppression, rampant inflation, rising unemployment and a ruthless crackdown on all ...

Mr. Fox, who was international trade secretary until the summer and remains well-connected in Republican circles, will reveal his opposition to the deal today in a speech to the Heritage Foundation, a right-leaning think tank. “Following the decision of President Trump to withdraw, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is dead and European attempts to salvage it are futile," Mr. Fox wr...

Misplaced and Premature Jubilation by an Apologist of the Murderous Mullahs of Iran Written by Staff Writer on  17 September 2019 . The striking similarity in the reaction from Tehran and the pro-appeasement crowd inside the Beltway over recent changes in the White House is not a coincidence. They all have two things in common: First, opposition to a firm policy vis-à-vis the world’s most active state sponsor of terror and the leading per capita executioner of its own citizens. Second,  attacking the democratic opposition, to justify their support for the terrorist regime ruling Iran . Jason Rezaian, in his Sept. 10 Global Opinions column asserted, “The shake-up creates the first real opportunity for Trump to pursue a policy of engaging Iran.” His optimism, however, is misplaced and premature. The departure from the Obama administration’s policy of appeasement began when the new administration took office. Moreover, a cursory review of the  MEK's history ...
