Iran regime’s defiance increases tensions with Israel

  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh Rising tensions between the Iranian regime and Israel have the potential to spiral into a wider conflict if not adequately addressed. There are several reasons for the heightened tensions. First of all, although the Iranian regime attempts to distract attention from the direct involvement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria, Tehran continues to increase its military influence there and use its proxies against Israeli targets. Israel last month carried out an airstrike in Syria on a location where Iranian officials were meeting. Iranian leaders were reportedly meeting to discuss developments regarding their country’s drone and ballistic missile capabilities in Syria. The attack occurred on the same day that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the Iranian government for an attack on a vessel owned by an Israeli in the Arabian Gulf. He said: “Last week, Iran attacked an oil tanker … and harmed the international freedom of navigation....

Unlike 2009 uprising, Iran 2018 Uprising shall not die

-
Jan. 12, 2018 - The Iranian regime has launched a lot of propaganda that foreign enemies have caused the uprising in Iran. They also widely propagate that the uprising of Iran has died and the situation in the country is calm. However, the reality is that Iran Uprising is not dead and the Iranian regime is incapable to quell it. The 2018 uprising, unlike the 2009 uprising, is not due to disputes at the top of the regime or fraudulent elections. The uprising of 2018 is due to profound economic and social problems with a very significant political and cultural dimensions. 

Due to the depth of these problems in Iran, the mullahs’ regime can in no way eliminate the grounds for this uprising, mainly because the regime is unable to meet the fundamental demands of the people. The demands of the uprising people are freedom, non-intervention in the affairs of the countries in the region and to spend its expenditures on Iran’s economy, and the separation of religion from the state. However, these are not demands that the regime could succumb to.  Therefore, the regime has only two options or two paths to go.
The first is to suppress the uprising bloodily and violently. In this case, the uprising becomes more radical.
The second option is to not suppress the uprising. In this way, the uprising will expand rapidly and eventually ends in the overthrow of the regime.
The present situation in Iran and with the existing deep challenges in the Iranian society, along with the level of social opposition to this regime have evolved to a degree that will never return to the situation before 28 December 2017 when the uprising started. This clearly explains why the mullah regime, despite using all its suppressive forces, has not been able to eliminate the uprising over the past 12 days. In fact, the people have taken to the streets wherever there has been a slight possibility. The Iranian people and the Resistance have pledged to advance this uprising until the overthrow of the regime.

  By Shahriar kia Footages from Iran on Wednesday show the regime’s police humiliating youths on the street. Under the pretext of fighting crime and thugs, this inhumane measure is another desperate attempt to intimidate the public.   The regime calls defiant youths “thugs” to tarnish their image, w hile the youths  continue targeting the regime’s repressive centers. Therefore, the regime justifies its oppressive measures against defiant youths.     The real “thugs , ” who killed  1500 peaceful protesters  during the major  Iran protests  in November ,  are officially protected and wear uniforms of either the  Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)  or  p olice. Also, organized gangs affiliated with the regime freely circulate in cities with knives and terrorize the public and extort money from people. All the while, the mullahs’ regime arrests, amputates hands or executes those poor people  who are  forced to steal to...

By Sedighe Shahrokhi In a meeting with the head of the regime’s State Security Force (SSF) in Isfahan, central Iran, on Friday, Yousef Tabatabai, Isfahan’s Friday prayers leader and supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s representative, threatened women, paving the way for further oppression. “We should make the society unsafe for the few (mal-veiling women) and not allow them to break the norms on the streets and parks easily… The SSF should be given more authority in dealing with those breaking the law and the norms. We should not be afraid of any hostile action in dealing with the violators,” he said. One of the victims of the 2014 acid attacks in Isfahan These remarks once again show the regime’s misogynous nature. Earlier in 2014, Tabatabai’s statement against so-called “mal-veiled” women resulted in the regime’s thugs attacking young Iranian women and splashing acid on their faces. In a similar development, Abolghasem Yaghoubi, the Friday prayers leader and Khamenei’s representative in No...
