Many among wishful thinkers believe that the newly installed president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, is a “moderate” or “reformist.” Like all of his predecessors, Pezeshkian is nothing more than a puppet of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Ayatollah Khamenei. Pezeshkian has virtually admitted this as he explains how he selected […]
Iran to Hamas: ‘Keep fighting’ to achieve ‘resistance’s objective — the destruction of Israel’
A Reuters report itemizes Iran’s funding to Hamas, which is acknowledged by the Biden administration. Yet the administration denies knowledge of “specific evidence” that Iran was “directly linked to Hamas attack on Israel”: Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, said in an interview with Al Jazeera television last year that his group had received $70 million in military help […]
Khamenei: We don’t want nukes, they’re ‘contradictory to Islam,’ but West couldn’t stop us if we did want them
Meanwhile, he continues to utter genocidal threats against Israel. Note also that the famed doctrine of taqiyya originated with Shi’ites. As The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran explains, the concept of taqiyya was formulated during the time of the sixth Shi’ite Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, in the middle of the eighth century, when the Shi’ites were […]
Khamenei: Focus of Muslim world should be on strengthening Palestinians as Israel is fast approaching its end
The “Palestinians” and their allies routinely invoke Islam to explain their actions. Western analysts of their conflict with Israel routinely and unanimously ignore that aspect of the conflict. Find out why that is so foolish and dangerous in The Palestinian Delusion. “Iran vows to continue spiritual, political support for Palestine,” Press TV, April 22, 2023: […]
Iran’s Supremo: ‘I said that Israel will not get to see the next 25 years, but they seem to be in a hurry’
Khamenei sees the end of Israel in its political instability. Actually, whatever else it is, that instability is a manifestation of general confidence and the lessening of the idea among Israelis that the country is in imminent danger of being destroyed. There is no doubt, however, that the instability is also encouraging and emboldening Israel’s […]
Islamic Republic of Iran: Newspaper calls for banning German embassy staff from leaving the country
The Germans expelled two Iranian diplomats. In response, Kayhan Daily is calling not for the expulsion of German diplomats, but the prevention of their expulsion, so that they can be arrested, imprisoned, and likely tortured. That is a vivid illustration of the contrast between the Islamic Republic and a nation that has some minimal respect […]
Khamenei pardons tens of thousands of prisoners, but not those charged with Qur’anic crime of ‘corruption on earth’
This could be an attempt to win back the loyalty, or at least the obedience, of the Iranian people who took to the streets in massive numbers to protest against the Islamic Republic over the last few months. However, often leading dissidents are charged with “corruption on earth,” so the omission from the pardons of […]
Islamic Republic of Iran enraged over Charlie Hebdo cartoons of Khamenei
Who does Khamenei think he is? Muhammad? Anyway, note that Charlie Hebdo doesn’t dare mark the anniversary of the jihad massacre in its offices by publishing more cartoons of Muhammad. They’ve learned their lesson, like so many in the West, and bowed to violent intimidation, which only means they will eventually get more of it. […]
Iran: Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps top dog worried that paramilitary group is too weak to stop protests
Terror is this regime’s only tool, as per the Qur’an (3:151, 8:12, 8:60). When the regime begins to realize that terror isn’t working, that’s a huge sign that the protesters are winning. But they have not won yet. “Leaked: Iran concerned Basij paramilitary too weak to stop protests,” by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, December 1, […]
