Where does Iran Deal sanctions relief money go?


Iran recently signed an accord with P5+1 to suspend its nuclear program in an exchange for sanctions relief. Under the deal, Iran will receive nearly $150 billion in sanctions relief and cash assets. It is expected that Iran will spend the money to fund its global terrorism operation, as well as its defense sector.
Iran is spending about 3.5 percent of its total budget on defense. About 65 percent of this money is spent on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the force that coordinates and conducts terror activities all around the world. The cash released by the sanction released will let Iran to put another $4.8 billion into its current defense budget.

Share of Iranian people from Iran deal is amputated right hand and left foot


The tragic image seen above shows a man whose right hand and left foot were amputated on August 4th in Mashhad. This inhumane punishment was carried out after the man was convicted of theft.
While President Obama is hailing the recently negotiated Iran Nuclear Agreement as a triumph of diplomacy, Iranian regime exerts more pressure on Iranian people. Recently, a top UN human rights official called on Iran to end its longtime 'problematic' use of executions.

Iraq’s political earthquake – Elimination of posts of vice president and deputy prime minister and introduce sweeping reforms by Iraqi Prime Minister



Following weeks of demonstrations of Iraqi people in different cities against corruption and shortcomings of Iraqi government, Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi responded by calling for a change. He issued a statement and proposed seven articles to start reform in Iraqi government as a first step toward fighting corruption and fraud. One of the most drastic of the proposals outlined in an online statement was the call for elimination of the posts of vice president and deputy prime minister "immediately". With no doubt eliminating former Prime Minister, Nouri Al-Maleki from Vice Presidency is far most controversial item among other articles.


What makes Qassem Suleimani feel safe to ignore U.N. Security Council resolutions travel ban?


The Quds Force commander Qassem Suleimani recently visited Moscow to meet with senior Russian leaders, despite a travel ban and U.N. Security Council resolutions barring him from leaving Iran. 
Suleimani was first designated a terrorist and sanctioned by the U.S. in 2005 for his role as a proliferator of WMD. In October 2011, the U.S. Treasury Department tied Suleimani to the failed Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States in Washington, D.C. The Quds Force is the special forces external wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, responsible for supporting terrorist proxies across the Middle East. It reports directly to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Is Iran nuclear deal a good deal or bad?


Nuclear agreement between the P5+1 and the Iranian regime is done. Agreement which not only fails to block Tehran’s pathways to a nuclear bomb, but will provide it with tens of billions of dollars to add to its war chest. Mullahs will ultimately cheat on its agreement with world powers to build a nuclear weapon.
The agreement, with its relaxation of sanctions, means Obama is halfhearted in confronting Iranian sponsorship of so much of the violent chaos that is spreading across the Middle East.
The mullahs’ definite cheating and deception, the unfrozen assets that the regime will allocate to terrorism and the status of human rights in Iran.

Does negotiation with Iran pave Mullahs path to nuclear bomb?


The P5+1 group -- Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States -- extend negotiations with Iran, seeking a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, with no sign of any end to the nail-biting deadlock. Now the deadline for the negotiations has passed again.
But despite progress on a series of complicated annexes, the negotiations have bogged down on how to ease a web of sanctions against Iran, probing allegations that in the past Tehran sought to develop nuclear arms, and ensuring Iran can continue to have a modest, peaceful nuclear program.
Do Iran continue to have a modest, peaceful nuclear program?

Is Obama’s mistake - on nuclear deal with the Iranian regime - acceptable?


As we get close to the deadline for signing an international nuclear deal with the Iranian regime on June 30, there is an increasing frustration that the U.S. President, Barack Obama, gives too many concessions to Iran which weakens the West’s position on this controversial deal.
Obama has acknowledged that Iran’s expanding ballistic missile program should be left out of any nuclear deal, despite the fact that they now have missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads and striking targets in all around of the world.

Does Obama or next US President fix strategic mistakes in the Middle East?


After September 11, tragic attack on Twin Towers, President Bush targeted Al-Qaeda basis in Afghanistan. Iranian regime, as godfather ofterrorism, feared that it would be the next target on global fight against terrorism. So, it applied some measures to divert coalition forces toward a false target. Iranian Mullahs pretended to join the coalition on fight againstTaliban and Al-Qaeda. Whereas they housed Al-Qaeda top officials in Iran.

Calls for action to stop execution in Iran


A young man whose father has been killed by the Iranian regime calls on people across the globe to rise against “flagrant human rights violations” in Iran, particularly against the increasing executions under Hassan Rouhani.

The 1.5 minute video that is published today presents the shocking figures of some 1600 executions in less than two years in Iran that includes 115 hangings in just two weeks. Every seven hours one person is executed in Iran and according to the UN the actual figures are higher as many hanging are being carried out in secret.

 The video calls on people to join the Iranian communities abroad in their upcoming gathering in Paris on June 13 to stop violations of human rights in Iran.

Please watch this video comment and share.

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.

For more insight, read this article: Can a strong agreement be possible when there are doubts about nuclear program in Iran?

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.

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.”

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.
