“They’re dying to settle,” says Trump. Maybe so. But only on their own terms. The multi-day funeral for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s slain supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is in full swing, and so far, his son and putative successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, has been nowhere to be seen. Was there bad blood between […]
The Funeral for Khamenei, and Its Discontents
The regime had said that fifteen million Iranians would show up to weep — Shi’a Muslims love to cry — over the sight of the supreme leader’s coffin for what the government claimed would be the greatest state funeral in Iran’s history. People outside the regime insisted there would be at most four million, and […]
Israel Has Killed Not Only Khamenei, But Dozens of Senior Iranian Leaders, Both Civilian and Military
While the Americans have been concentrating on hitting nuclear sites, ballistic missiles, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) rank-and-file, Israel has assumed for itself the task of taking out many of the senior leaders, both military men and civilians, of the Iranian regime. In just the first day of Operation Roaring Lion (the name […]
Lebanon declares it’s no longer under Iranian patronage or dictates, vows to disarm Hizballah
Hizballah and Iran have been woes to the Lebanese people, and the Lebanese government has had enough, as is reflected in the “unprecedented shift” in firmly rejecting Iran and Hizballah. A Foreign Policy article entitled “Why Hezbollah Is Rich and Lebanon Is Poor” tells part of the story of how the people of Lebanon have […]
The Iranian Public Are Being Fed Nonsense and Lies About the 12-Day War
In the twelve-day war with Iran, Israel carried out hundreds of airstrikes, that destroyed or damaged dozens of nuclear facilities, including those built underground at Natanz and inside a mountain at Fordow, as well as the vast nuclear complex in Isfahan, demolished thousands of ballistic missiles, and factories where ballistic missiles and drones were produced, […]
Iran: Hundreds of university lecturers declare Iran’s ‘victory’ and hail the ‘twilight of Western civilization’
Human rights advocates and Iranian dissidents alike stand united in hoping for the fall of the Islamic regime of Iran. The 2022-2023 mass protests and civil unrest in Iran, sparked by the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by Iran’s morality police, gave hope of regime collapse. Israel’s recent strikes against Iran’s nuclear and military sites […]
Iran: Khamenei emerges from hiding in first public appearance to honor ‘martyrdom’ of Muhammad’s grandson Hussein
On June 26, right after the ceasefire, Khamenei issued a public statement which displayed the usual bluster expected of Iran’s Islamic regime. After Israel blew Iran’s nuclear sites to smithereens and took out its top commanders and nuclear scientists, while the US destroyed three nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer, Khamenei tried to save face […]
Islamic Republic of Iran says it will continue to enrich uranium, repeats ‘Death to America’
If the Islamic regime does not fall, and if America returns in 2028 to Democrat party rule, Iran’s continued enrichment of uranium will not only not be stopped, but will be facilitated, as it was under Joe Biden and Barack Obama. “Iranian Regime Spokesmen: We Will Continue To Enrich Uranium; We’re Adopting A Policy Of […]
Ayatollah Khamenei’s ‘nuclear fatwa’ was a big lie. It never existed.
Only the willfully blind and clueless could possibly take the Islamic Republic of Iran at its word, and that’s exactly what Barack Obama and his global leftist cronies did, despite the fact that Iran itself admitted that the 2015 nuke deal was based on lies. Now Iran’s lies are in the spotlight again as Trump […]
Iran: Khamenei tabs Hizballah chief Naim Qassem as his Lebanon representative
In early October, Naim Qassem’s predecessor Hashem Safieddine went missing following an Israeli Air Force strike that targeted an underground bunker he was in. Less than two weeks later, Qassem, who was Hizballah’s deputy secretary general at the time, said that the group’s aim was to “inflict pain on Israel.” He recently made a speech […]
