Jews don’t have a rape problem in Europe, or a general crime problem.
They also don’t demand for a caliphate or sharia law; nor do they want women to dress like bee keepers.
But I wonder who does?
I welcome the UK Government’s move to designate the IRGC as a state threat to national security, involved in threats to life and intimidation. This is an important and welcome move by @keir_starmer and reflects the growing threat from the regime in Iran to UK citizens and interests. I hope the UK and other Western governments will go one step further and back the Iranian people’s fight for freedom. There can be no peace as long as this regime survives.
The reason the regime stopped targeting Israel is simple: Israel hit back hard and imposed significant costs.
The reason the regime continues targeting the United States is equally simple: it perceives the U.S. response as weak and timid.
چپ پروگرسیو و راست انزواگرا دو روی یک سکهاند و آنچه در حوزه سیاست خارجی میگویند، به یک اندازه غلط و ضد امنیت ملی آمریکا و امنیت جهان است. مشاهیر دنیای هنر برای دههها بازوی اصلی تبلیغاتی چپ بودهاند، و حالا کمدین-پادکسترها همان نقش را برای راست انزواگرا بازی میکنند.
JD Vance is presenting Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator at the Switzerland talks, as a “moderate.”
In reality, Ghalibaf boasted about ordering students shot in 2003 and remains one of the regime’s most radical hardliners.
No deals with Mullahs. Free Iran!
بیژن کیان، کارشناس امنیت ملی، در گفتوگو با علی حسنپور، خبرنگار ایراناینترنشنال، کنگره «همگرایی ملی برای ایران آزاد و دموکراتیک» را پاسخی عملی به دعوت شاهزاده رضا پهلوی برای همگرایی نیروهای معتقد به حاکمیت ملی و سکولاردموکراسی توصیف کرد و گفت حضور چهرههایی با دیدگاههای متفاوت، از جمله منتقدان پیشین، میتواند نشانهای از شکلگیری اجماع برای آینده ایران باشد.
The repeated Hezbollah attacks against the IDF, including the strike last night that left a dozen wounded and killed four Israeli soldiers and officers, are not skirmishes. They are part of a deliberate strategy by the Islamic Republic of Iran to use its proxy, Hezbollah, to attack Israel while testing the limits of the agreement it signed with the United States.
It would be very easy for the IRGC to order Hezbollah to stand down, at least for these days, or simply to abide by the terms of the ceasefire signed in 2024. They are choosing not to do that. Instead, they are directing Hezbollah to escalate. When Israel responds they go and threaten the U.S. that negotiations will collapse, blaming Israel.
Tehran wants to humiliate the United States and make sure it can revive its proxy network, and to establish an equation in which Iran enjoys sanctions relief, petrodollars, and reintegration into the global economy while continuing, through its proxies, to kill Israelis, Arabs and probably Americans, just as it has done for decades.
None of this is accidental. It is deliberate. The West does not fully understands that this is the real test; or worse- it does, and does not care. Tehran is trying to determine whether it can enjoy the benefits of normalization while continuing its campaign of terror.
The two statements that the U.S. defeated the regime in Tehran, yet could not have reopened the Strait of Hormuz even if the war had continued for two more years contradict each other.
The White House is making both claims at the same time. One of them must be false.
Lebanese TV Host Walid Abboud to Hezbollah:
“Leave us. And take your weapons, your drones, your rockets, your mouthpieces, your flags, your Supreme Leader, your Iran and your Resistance with you.”
