How are the allies, or more exactly proxies, of Iran doing against Israel? Hamas has been almost totally dismantled. In Lebanon, Hezbollah saw all of its leaders, and dozens of its military commanders, eliminated 4,000 of its combatants were killed, and thousands more have been so severely wounded that they will never return to combat.

Iran’s exiled Crown Prince: ‘Alongside Jews and Baha’is, Iranian Christians face rampant persecution’
When Iran became an Islamic Republic, immediately non-Muslims began to be repressed and persecuted. Yet anyone who notices the obvious connection is vilified as an “Islamophobe.” “Iran’s exiled Crown Prince highlights ‘widespread and rampant persecution’ of Christians,” Article 18, November 20, 2024: The exiled son of the former Shah of Iran has highlighted the “widespread and […]

IDF exposes Hizballah smuggling routes via Syria, funded by Iran with ‘tacit’ help from Syrian authorities
Another demonstration of Iran’s reach via its proxies and quiet state actors in the region (and elsewhere). As Iran “cooperated closely with Hezbollah to establish covert routes into Lebanon through Syrian territory,” it was aided by senior Syrian officials, including the Syrian Military Security Unit.

Iran’s military vows retaliation ‘beyond what Israeli leaders can imagine’ as Lebanon ceasefire talks advance
Iran’s intentions are clear as its leaders routinely shout “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” but its abilities at this point paint a very different picture.

Khamenei: Arrest warrant not enough for Netanyahu, he ‘must be sentenced to death’

Iran: Christian convert gets 10 years for ‘propaganda against the Islamic Republic through promoting Christianity’
Tomaj Aryankia is in grave danger. Shi’ite Islam, like Sunni Islam, prescribes the death penalty for apostasy: Shaykh al-Kulayni narrates a sahíh (correct) hadith from `Ammãr as-Sãbãti who said: I heard (Imam) Abu `Abdullãh (as-Sãdiq) (a.s.) saying, “A Muslim from among the Muslims who renounces Islam and rejects the prophethood of Muhammad and considers him […]
Trump’s Plan to Squeeze Iran Financially
While the IDF has now devastated Iran’s air defense system, including the four S-300 anti-missile systems that protected Tehran, and destroyed its ballistic missile plants, as well as a top secret nuclear research plant at Parchin, the Trump administration is planning to apply its own financial pressure to bring Iran’s economy to its knees. More […]
Islamic Republic of Iran: Woman arrested for not wearing hijab while being attacked by man on street
The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do […]
