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?

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.

Iran is busy on:

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.

 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.

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.”

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.

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. 

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.
