While Iran negotiates on nuke, it has been busy ....

Iran is busy on:

1. Funding shiite militias in Iraq and taking over the government
2. Backing Houthi rebels in overthrowing the Yemen government
3. Arresting and holding four Americans without trial of charge
4. Executing 1500 political dissidents, religious minorities and women
5. Baking Syria's war and giving birth to ISIS
6. Passing laws legalizing child marriages and misogyny in Iran

Iran's mullahs want nuclear deal only to end sanctions and bring in $100 billions in immediate cash with billions more to follow in trade, foreign investments and oil sales.
It's not about doing a deal, only the right deal.
Contact your representative and senator, ask them to hold Iran accountable.

Threat of Mullahs in Iran - Our world is moving in which direction? Peace or war?

Ariha city in Syria, was seized by a Syrian coalition of opposition groups. Reuters said the fall of Ariha, was a great blow to the morale of Bashar al-Assad's forces. But still, the regime of Bashar al-Assad, with the support of the Iranian regime commits crimes against the Syrian people, especially women and children. As Valerie Amos, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, addressed the Security Council on the situation in Syria that no one should endure current brutality against women and children.

In Saudi Arabia, ISIS blew up 2 Shia mosques which took lives of 25 people.

President Obama Presidency Heritage - Nuclear Corporate of Iran and North Korea

National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an exiled Iranian opposition group, accused Tehran Thursday of a "vastcollaboration" with North Korea in developing nuclear arms, alleging that experts from both countries made regular intelligence-sharing visits. The last visit was in April this year which on that North Korean experts spent a week in Tehran, at a site close to Iran defense ministry. It was the third such visit by a North Korean nuclear delegation in 2015 alone.

Is Iran a global threat?

The number of executions in Iran during the past 15 months reached more than 1000 people. As UN Special Rapporteur of human rights situation in Iran, Ahmed Shaheed, said since the emergence of Mullah Hassan Rouhani in 2013 overall human rights situation in Iran has worsened.

 These public executions are just small portion of suppression implemented by Iran inside the country. Erwin Cutler, a Canadian MP said Iran strongly continue abuses of human rights. A country that does not commented to the rights of its own citizens, how can adhere to other international commitments.

Now we want to look at the overall situation in the Middle East region itself. Indeed, what role Iran plays in stability of the region?

Since the Samara bombing in Iraq in 2006 with the support of the Iranian regime, a genocidal war started in Iraq, which left hundreds of thousands of victims, mostly Sunni.

Shame on who?

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Iran has been engaged in efforts to acquire the capability to build nuclear weapons for more than two decades. Tehran has developed a range of technologies, including uranium enrichment, warhead design, and delivery systems, that would give it an option to obtain nuclear bomb in a relatively short time frame. The Iranian regime's nuclear weapons program remained secret until 2002 when the National Council of Resistance of Iran held a press conference revealing a uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and a Heavy Water plant at Arak.

Assessing President Obama strategy in Iraq after the fall of Ramadi to the ISIS

Ten months after U.S. air strikes began, ISIS militants took control of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar Province. The group launched an assault on May 15 with the backing of sleeper cells to capture government facilities and take control of most of the city just two days later, on May 17. Ramadi is strategic to the Islamic State because of its proximity to Baghdad. The Islamic State group’s seizure of Ramadi, was a painful blow to the US-led war against the jihadists.

What happened in Ramadi was a failure of the Iraqi forces to fight. Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said Sunday that Iraqi forces had demonstrated “no will to fight” against the ISIS, blaming them for a retreat that led to the terrorist group’s victory in capturing the Iraqi city of Ramadi. Al-Zamili, head of Iraq’s parliamentary defense and security committee, dismissed Carter’s remarks as “unrealistic and baseless”. He said the US had failed to provide “good equipment, weapons and aerial support” to the soldiers and was seeking to “throw the blame on somebody else”. Maj Gen Tim Cross, speaking to the BBC’s Today program, said: “Churchill said back at the beginning of the 20th century, you can destroy an army very quickly, and effectively we did that when we disbanded the Iraqi military back in 2003, but … it can take a generation to build a strong capable military that is going to win this sort of campaign.”

Mr. McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, repeated his call to send American ground troops, including Special Operations forces, into Iraq. Mr. McCain blamed President Obama on CBS’s “Face the Nation” by saying: “We need to have a strategy.” He added, “There is no strategy. And anybody that says that there is I’d like to hear what it is. Because it certainly isn’t apparent now.”

What measures should be applied to stop Iran acquiring nuclear weapons?

Intense nuclear negotiations of P5+1 with Iran from November 2013 reaches its turning point in June 30. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry insisted repeatedly that the U.S. administration would not allow the Islamic Republic to obtain a nuclear bomb. But there is a common concern about Obama’s concessions which aid Iran to build a nuclear bomb. Barack Obama is aiding Iran’s ambitions to build a nuclear bomb by making concessions to the regime in the ongoing nuclear negotiations, US Senator Dan Coats has warned. Senator Coats added the president has no coherent regional strategy when dealing with the world’s largest state-sponsor of terrorism.

We did Nothing

I am John Anderson and I am 37 years old. The Islamic Republic of Iran came to power in 1979 and began oppressing its own people. Men and women, young and old were massacred. We all witnessed these horrific scenes and heard their desperate cries for help. But we did nothing. We did not rush to their support and they were all killed.

After that, fundamentalism began its quest to conquer other lands, starting with Iraq. We witnessed wars and the killings. But we did nothing. We didn't provide any help until 1 million people were
killed.

The US House passed sanction legislation against Hezbollah

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 2297, the Hezbollah International Financial Prevention Act of 2015, which would strengthen economic sanctions against Hezbollah, a terrorist organization that continues to pose a threat to the United States, and its allies, and interests throughout the Middle East and beyond. 
H.R. 2297 takes a comprehensive approach to addressing the threat posed by Hezbollah by imposing severe new sanctions on Hezbollah’s fundraising channels and restricting its ability to use its funds to support global terrorist activities. The legislation also targets Hezbollah’s media appendage, al-Manar, and forces other critical designations to undermine the terrorist organization’s illicit activities.

Royce, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said: “Years ago Hezbollah was a limited, regional threat. Today, it is a global threat conducting terrorist and criminal activities all over the world”.

H.R. 2297 requires the Administration to provide a comprehensive overview of countries supporting Hezbollah, including those governments that are not taking adequate efforts to disrupt Hezbollah’s global logistics networks.

Hezbollah was founded by the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) soon after the 1979 revolution in Iran. The group is fighting in Syria to save the Bashar al-Assad regime. On November 2014, the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) boasted of how it has supplied Lebanese Hezbollah with missile systems. In January 2014, the current Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif laid a wreath on the grave of ImadMughniyeh, a principal leader and operative that served in Hezbollah’s military for several years. Imad Mughniyeh was the main man behind the 1983 Beirut bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon.

Hussein Salami, Deputy Commander of the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards admitted the regime’s meddling in Yemen as well as other countries of the region by creating proxy groups. He stated that groups like Hezbollah are no longer in only in Lebanon but today such forces have been formed in Yemen and Syria.

Saudi Arabia asked on November 2014, the U.N. Security Council to put Hezbollah on its list of 'terrorist organizations'. 'We call on the council to place Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organizations,' Saudi envoy to the Security Council Abdallah Al-Mouallimi said. 

How world reliefs from Iran global threats?

Iran playing a destabilizing role in the Middle East and it is a threat for global peace. It supports Hezbollah in Lebanon. It actively try to interrupt Palestinian peace process. It send arms and intelligence to Houthi rebels in Yemen. It backs criminal Assad in Syria, and support Shiites militias in Iraq. 

So how can we stop Iran doing all this things? Maybe President Obama’s answer to this question is to reach a deal with Iran. This idea justifies why Washington tried to solicit Tehran’s cooperation against ISIS. But how the United State find morally reprehensible that it could ever, ever sit down across the table with brutal regime in Iran who is responsible for death of many Americans in Iraq  and begin to coordinate an effort towards a common objective, which is the defeat of ISIS. There would not have been ISIS if the U.S. didn't break the promises it made in Iraq. U.S. pulled out of Iraq and provided no help to democratic movement in Iraq and broke its promise to support Sunnis forces. Mullahs filled this gap by spreading Shiites militias all over Iraq who has been killing and torturing Sunnis minorities.

Congress won a battle on Iran nuclear deal to Obama

The House of Representative on Thursday passed legislation requiring congress to review of a probable nuclear deal with Iran. This was a victory for the Congress and give it the power to approve or disapprove of a nuclear agreement with Iran during a 30-day period when economic sanctions could not be lifted. This passage came on a vote of 400 to 25 which override Obama veto. Obama administration is not permitted to lift any economical sanction if the international accord is signed.  The Senate also passed the bill last week in an amazing result of 98-1 vote.

For months, the White House was though against the effort in Congress to oversee the Iran deal, warning that the proposals threatened to upend the talks. But a bipartisan cooperation led this bill to be passed and prevent Obama to be able to veto the bill. 

Stop Godfather of ISIS

During my today’s search in twitter, I noticed a hashtag of #StopGodFatherofISIS. Tweets on this hashtag guided my to a YouTube video. So, I decided to write about who is godfather of ISIS?  

Iranians have dubbed their government the 'godfather' of the Islamic State militant group, Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of National Council of Resistance of Iran told a US House subcommittee.

Terrorism and fundamentalism under the name of Islam came to the world as seen by the mullahs’ regime in Iran. Khomeini was the first one who theorized Velayat-e faqih, a Khalife, who should have both political and religious supremacy all over the Muslims and he is the one who should lead the whole Muslim states. This is the same idea that ISIS is based upon.   Despite all their differences, ISIS is very close to the fundamentalists ruling in Iran and even on occasions they have cooperated.

Iranian regime helped the creation of ISIS. Ex-Iraqi Prime Minister, a poppet of Mullahs, governed Iraq for 8 years. During this period Iran spread its control all over Iraq. Iran has been helping Iraqi leaders to fight the Sunnis militants by arming and advising Shiite militias. So Sunnis feel they have being set aside in the political environment of Iraq which helped the emergence of ISIS. Now this jihadist group has captured territories in Iraq and Syria.

How Iran direct its support to Yemen Houthi fighters

While Saudi-led air strikes hit rebel bases in Yemen and placed Houthi fighters in a terrible situation, Iran continues feeding them by sending a cargo ship to Yemen. US called on Iran to direct its cargo ship to a hub in Djibouti. Iran usually send arms and ammunition to its allies under thecover of humanitarian aids. 

Iranian regime: We will not sit by with our hands folded in the face of the terrorism in the region

Today I saw a fanny cartoon.

This is published in Al-Watan, Saudi Arabia, in June 14, 2014

Iranian regime – “We will not sit by with our hands folded in the face of the terrorism in the region”. The octopus tentacles are labeled: “Hizbullah, ISIS, Shi’ite militias, Al-Maliki, Al-Qaeda, IRGC, Al-Assad, the Shabiha, the Syrian army” (Al-Watan, Saudi Arabia, June 14, 2014)

Congress must stop Obama from giving concession to Mullahs

The reason that Iranian Mullahs came to negotiation table is because of Congress passed tough economic sanctions that hammered Mullahs' economy. But the job is not done. It must be ensure that Iran does not retain its nuclear ability to develop a nuclear bomb. Iranian regime continue gaming the international community.

New Senate bill to allow Congress to review supposed nuclear accord is an essential hindrance toward having a bad deal with Iran. It is crucial that Obama administration realize value of economic sanctions and keep those sanctions in place firmly until Iran completely step back of its nuclear project and destroy all its nuclear capacity. Obama is so afraid of Iran walking away of negotiation table. But Mullahs’ bark is worse than their bite.  Don’t worry about what they are saying. They cannot continue with killing sanctions anymore. Continue to be firm to lay Mullahs’ back down. 

ISIS infiltrates Iraq from Syrian border

Al-Anbar province officials in Iraq, warned about entering of ISIS forces through Syrian-Iraqi border. Hundreds of ISIS militias crossed the border on May 10, 2015 according to Al-Anbar city council announcement. Convoys of ISIS vehicles entered Al-Ghaem city where it is being held by the group since 9 months ago. 

US-led International coalition fighters have routine sorties in the region. What is their mission? Isn't their duty to control the border? I think they easily can intercept ISIS to go back and forth in Syria-Iraq highway. Unfortunately, the coalition still is careless about spreading ISIS in Iraq. They haven’t aware of how dangerous it can be if they don’t do anything today. We warn them and we hope they listen and react. 

What should US nuclear negotiators consider today?

Today undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman leads a US delegation to Vienna to join the next round of endless negotiations on finalizing an Iran nuclear accord.

After US Senate passed a bill that would give Congress a voice in any nuclear agreement between world powers and Iran, Obama’s team should have more difficulties to reach to a bad deal with Iran.

US nuclear negotiators should look at this recent bill as a tool to push Iran to comply with all UN resolutions and stop promoting its nuclear projects.

Mullahs want to keep their nuclear capacities to be the final player in the Middle East playground.  Nuclear bomb is a tool for Mullahs to impose their hegemony in this strategic region. If the world could not stop Mullahs now, tomorrow is too late.

How to cope with ‘new phase’ in terror?

The global terrorist threat has entered a 'new phase,' where media-savvy radical extremists are successfully drawing lone wolf attackers to their cause, the US secretary of Homeland Security warned Sunday. Johnson said, ‘It has to come from within the community. It has to come from Islamic leaders, who frankly can talk the language better than the federal government can.'

The solution to this new phase of terror exists. It is up to leaders, especially in US, to listen. Islamic extremism is only and only defeated by democratic Islam. Khomeini, predecessor of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, dressed Islamic fundamentalism a governmental suit in 1980s.

During past 30 years appeasement policy of the west to find moderate government in Iran, paved the way for Mullahs to spread their ideology of extremism to the region and to the whole world. Shocking news we see on the net about ISIS slaughtering human beings or so on, is not new to Iranians. These kind of atrocities lead by ISIS these days were going on during past 30 years in Iran, but west closed his eyes to that. Media boycott talking about that. Unfortunately, extremism didn’t stop. It cleared its way and now the ISIS is its outcome. As top Iranian opposition leader told a US House subcommittee that Iranians have dubbed their government the 'godfather' of the Islamic State militant group.

This is the time for the west to wake up. Don’t look around yourself. Cut the head of snake in Iran.

How Yemen air war hindered Mullah’s plot in the Middle East?

Obama’s weak position toward Iran instigated Iranian Mullahs to spread their control over other states in the Middle East. Mullahs assumed that they have Iran, Syria, and Lebanon in their pocket and this is the time to bite another state; a great coalition of Arab states, turned mullahs’ dream to a nightmare.

As King Salman said, the operation has prevented Yemen from 'becoming a theater for terrorism, discord, and internal fighting, similar to some countries.'

I think this is a good example which let us know the real solution to bring peace to the Middle East is unity of countries in the region against spread of fundamentalism and extremism. These countries should not to wait for Obama to act. They have enough power. Their power exists in their unity and not to wait for others to act.

Another victory for Syrian opposition forces in Jisr ash Shughur

A good news for Syrian opposition

Congratulations!

Many Assad forces were killed during clashes with Syrian opposition forces in northwest of Syria. According to Al-Arabia television Asad troops were besieged inside a hospital in the town of Jisr ash Shughur. Asad forces used this hospital as their troop concentration base. Many pro-Iranian regime Hezbollah fighters were also among the Assad force stationed at this hospital and many of them were also killed.

This is another sign of Syrian opposition takeover during past few months.

Saudi King Salman skip Camp David Summit

King Salman of Saudi refused Obama's plan to gather Arab leaders at at the presidential retreat of Camp David. This is a great  failure to Obama's plan to reach a bad nuclear deal with Iran.
