Why Did Obama Bury Evidence About Iran – Al-Qaeda Links?Op-Ed 04 November 2017 by Jubin Katiraie The CIA released a large number of documents earlier this week. The documents were seized during the raid on a compound in Pakistan in May 2011 during which the leader of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was killed. The documents included images and computer files and are evidence of links between the terrorist group and Iran. Iran is known to support numerous terrorist organisations, proxy groups and militias and it appears that al-Qaeda can be added to that list. The evidence recently made public shows that Iran provided al-Qaeda with training, financial assistance, weapons and arms, and anything else that it needed to operate. In exchange, al-Qaeda targeted American interests around the Gulf and in particular in Saudi Arabia.

THE FEAR AND PANIC OF IRAN REGIME, FROM NEW SANCTIONS AND TERRORIST DESIGNATION OF IRGC   Created: 04 November 2017 Iran NCRI JCPOA IRGC NCRI - A member of the Iranian regime parliament announced that the new U.S. sanctions, known as "Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act", against the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) are much more dangerous than the Security Council Resolution 2231. Ahmed Amir Abadi said the UNSC Resolution only prohibits ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warhead, but in the Act, a variety of the regime’s ballistic missile activities and programs are banned and short and medium range missiles are also prohibited even if they are not designed to carry nuclear warhead. “According to the Resolution, the ban lasts for a maximum of 8 years, but according to the Act, the phrase ‘within 8 years’ has been removed in the new law and the system (regime) is subject to infinite extreme sanctions,” he added.

SUPPORT THE VOICE OF THE IRANIAN PEOPLE IN FACE OF TYRANNY   Created: 04 November 2017 Iran Freedom Iranian Resistance Iranian Opposition Inside Iran It is illegal to own satellite receiver equipment in Iran, where the government exerts tremendous control over the flow of information. Nevertheless, just as countless Iranians use virtual proxy networks to evade restrictions on the government and social media, millions of Iranian households also use satellite equipment to tune into banned television networks. Many even go so far as to re-acquire the necessary equipment after it has been confiscated by regime authorities in large-scale crackdowns.

IRANIAN PEOPLE ARE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF NEW U.S. STRATEGY TO DEAL WITH TEHRAN’S THREATS   Created: 04 November 2017 Iran NCRI PMOI/MEK Iranian Resistance Iranian Opposition IRGC By Homeira Hesami   Augusta Free Press ,  November 2, 2017 - When the nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 world powers was engineered by the Obama administration in 2015, the globe was cloaked in a false security blanket. Last June, unsurprisingly, the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ) in Washington, DC revealed disturbingly current details concerning the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ (IRGC) both testing and launching ballistic missiles. Such evidence demonstrates that Iran’s clerical regime had no intention of curbing its agenda. What to do? Before we ask “how” we must ask “why?”

The repressive forces order cars that are going to Shiraz, Tehran or Isfahan to continue their journey from the old way. The Revolutionary Guards give a statement to all the cars and people who are walking on foot to Pasargad, which it: The illegal gathering in Pa...

TILLERSON HOPEFUL IRAN WILL NEGOTIATE CHANGES IN NUCLEAR DEAL   Created: 21 September 2017 Iran United States Syria U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he is still hopeful that Iran will agree to negotiate changes sought by the United States in the 2015 nuclear deal, despite the Iranian president's rejection of new talks.In a news conference late on September 20 after meeting with other parties to the agreement at the United Nations, Tillerson for a second time singled out the deal's "sunset" clauses, which end restrictions on Iranian nuclear activities, such as uranium enrichment, after 10 years in 2025. The restrictions were imposed in exchange for sanctions relief. The press conference took place after a meeting on Wednesday at the United Nations among the original negotiators of the nuclear deal. Rex Tillerson and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif spoke directly during the talks, in what a European diplomat described as a "ver...

LAWMAKERS URGE AMBASSADOR HALEY TO ENSURE ACCESS TO NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN IS GRANTED   Created: 29 October 2017 Iran NCRI Nuclear NCRI - Republican lawmakers are calling on the Trump administration to ensure that nuclear inspectors will be able to have unrestricted access to all potential nuclear sites in Iran at any time. This is one of the major failings of the 2015 nuclear agreement.During the negotiations, former President Obama promised: “Inspectors will also be able to access any suspicious location. Put simply, the organization responsible for the inspections, the IAEA, will have access where necessary, when necessary.” However, this never happened and Iranian regime has refused to let nuclear inspectors into military sites. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump made the decision to not certify Iranian regime’s compliance to the nuclear deal. This has triggered a 60-day limit for Congress to decide whether to reimpose the crippling economic sanct...

THE US BLOCKS IRAN REGIME FROM RESEARCH PROJECT OVER TRUST FEARS   Created: 01 November 2017 Iran NCRI Nuclear JCPOA NCRI - The US has prevented the Iranian Regime from collaborating on a multibillion-dollar fusion experiment in France over fears that the Regime cannot be trusted.Although it has been expected for months that the Iranian Regime would be taking part in the ITER project in a limited capacity, the US  has blocked them through its seat on the governing council as Iran’s participation must be approved unanimously. The ITER council will hold a meeting later this month to address the issue. Many are wondering how this decision will impact on Iran’s role in the scientific studies that are in the works, like the Joint European Torus, the planned Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Germany, and the Iranian Light Source Facility. However, the US has made the right decision. This scientific research should not be allowed to fall into the ...

AMERICANS SPEAK — AND THEY DON’T LIKE THE NUCLEAR DEAL The article I chose is the best in this subject and hope you like it .   Created: 02 November 2017 Iran NCRI United States JCPOA IRGC BY  Dr. Majid Rafizadeh   An overwhelming majority of Americans believe the 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers is not a good deal and should be renegotiated, according to a poll this month. What is intriguing about the poll of 2,159 registered voters — conducted by Harris for CAPS, the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University — is its mix of demographics and political parties. Thirty-six percent were Democrat, 32 percent Republican, 28 percent independent and 4 percent from other parties. Of those polled, 85 percent of Republicans, 71 percent of independents and 57 percent of Democrats said the deal should be renegotiated. This highlights several critical issues.

Dr. Majid Rafizadeh | Published — Friday 3 November 2017 Saudi crown prince is a force for moderation, unlike Tehran This week, Iran’s state-owned media hailed the regime for supposedly being a constructive player in the region and creating hope for the younger generation. Tehran claims that President Hassan Rouhani, with the blessing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — who has long seen himself as leader of the Muslim world — is the force of moderation in the Middle East and North Africa. Putting aside this self-promotional praise, a nuanced examination of Iran’s economic, political, religious and social landscapes reveals no sign that the regime is promoting moderation or fighting terrorism in the region. A significant portion of Iran’s budget and revenues is spent on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its elite branch, the Quds Force, to support violent militias and proxies, and to export and advance the ruling mullahs’ revolutionary ideals. Tehran’s sectarian ag...

Saudi Arabia Seeks to Counter Iran With Nuclear ProgrammeNuclear 31 October 2017 Iran Focus London, 31 Oct - Saudi Arabia has begun doubling down on its nuclear programme in order to counterbalance the threat posed by Iran as evidenced by a statement released on Monday. The statement said that Saudi Arabia would begin uranium extraction efforts in order to achieve nuclear self-sufficiency. Although it is not clear whether Saudi Arabia would then enrich the uranium (a process needed to create nuclear weapons), this statement is a huge turning point. Traditionally, Saudi Arabia has been cautious in its nuclear development plans because of concerns by the US over nuclear proliferation. Of course, the US position hasn’t changed, so what has? The Iranian one.

INTV's Pledges Drive for Finances Begins, as Iran Cracks Down on MediaJubin Katiraie Blog 04 November 2017 It is risky to be a journalist who works for a dissenting news outlet in Iran. Reportedly, arrests and imprisonment of free minded journalists has been escalating in recent years. In fact, the Iranian regime is known to attack not only the reporters and broadcasters of independent and foreign information, but the recipients, as well. It is illegal to own satellite receiver equipment in Iran, but millions of Iranians use satellite equipment to tune into banned television networks. Equipment that has been confiscated by regime authorities is regularly replaced. Additionally, countless Iranians use virtual proxy networks (VPN) to evade restrictions on their use of the internet to gain information. These conditions make the work of dissenting news outlets more important than ever, as they expose information that goes unreported by state-run media.

Iranian Media Make Fake Claims That Regime Is Force for GoodLife in Iran 04 November 2017 Iran Focus London, 4 Nov - Iranian state-run media praised the Regime this week for its supposed constructive force in the Middle East and bringing hope to the young people of Iran. They especially lauded President Hassan Rouhani as a ‘moderate’ in the Middle East and North Africa. Let’s break down why that is wrong. A destructive force The Iranian Regime is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and funds proxy groups across the Middle East, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al Qaeda, in order to destabilise the region and depose leaders so that it can take advantage of the power vacuum. This is most notable in Iraq, where they act as puppet masters for the government, Syria, when they are propping up the failing Assad Regime, and Lebanon, where they use their proxy group Hezbollah to influence government policy to benefit Iran. A significant amount of Iran’s budget is spent on Islamic Rev...

Iran Nuclear Deal and Iran's Belligerence Are LinkedNuclear 22 October 2017 Iran Focus London, 22 Oct - It came as no surprise to many that US President Donald Trump decided to decertify the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as the Iran nuclear deal, between the United States, several EU countries, China and Russia. The responses to this news was mixed. In the Middle East, there was huge condemnation as well as huge praise. And while many were expecting him to do so, his decision drew immediate responses from around the globe. President of Iran Hassan Rouhani expressed his anger at the decision, while the Arab countries that are negatively impacted by Iran’s actions welcomed it. Those that supported the decision in the Arab world also condemned the international silence that has let Iran spread chaos across the Middle East.

ANALYSIS: Why Obama’s mistakes in the Middle East should never be repeated 11/2/2017 7:40:25 PM Obama speaks at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago on November 1, 2017 By Tony Duheaume Al Arabiya, 2 November 2017  - For decades, the US took military action against states it deemed were a threat to it; but it has refrained from taking any military action against Iran – even though the latter’s radical leadership has actively supported terrorist activities against the US and its allies. Using proxy forces, the Iranian regime has exported terror since its creation to both the Middle East and the West, claiming many lives over the years. Although Iran is also known to be behind the deaths of many coalition soldiers in Iraq, through its supply of weapons and training to terror groups, the US and Iran have continued to cooperate with each other on the grounds of stabilising Iraq. According to both sides, the aim of this cooperation has been to stave ...
