With the new U.S. administration blueprinting its Iran policy after escalating developments in Syria and the recent attacks in Tehran, one major battleground between the two arch-rivals is set to be Yemen. Sitting at the opening of a major waterway through which a significant amount of the world's seabound oil flows, this country of 27 million has been war-torn and desperately grappling with a famine currently risking the lives of 7 million people. All the while, Iran and its offspring terror organization, the Lebanese Hezb'allah, are escalating their meddling in a war that has already left more than 10,000 killed and literally leveled the country's already poor infrastructure.

The main question after establishing the Iran nuclear deal as his first-term legacyis : Will Iran's Hassan Rouhani negotiate on Syria? and what new initiative will Iranian president Hassan Rouhani embark on in his second term? Should there be any expectation from the international community in Rouhani's second term as this regime's president? And if Rouhani has the will to bring about any change in, for example, Syria, a big if, will it be for the better good of the Syrian people and the region? Or merely seeking Iran's interests? Here is an article which is written By Heshmat Alavi and answer to this matter . in it he explain that Iran's policies in the region have been considered by many to be based on double standards. How does Iran legitimize its interference in Syria, in Iraq, in Yemen, and across the region while millions have been killed, injured, and displaced as the entire region remains in turmoil? In the end he write Such an outcome would reflect all of Iran's dilemmas inward and provide the grounds for social unrest to overcome the mullahs' regime. As a result, the very nature of Iran's ruling apparatus prevents the rendering of any meaningful change in its regional policy. READ MORE
This is written by Shahriar Kia who is a political analyst and member of Iranian opposition (PMOI/MEK). The opinions below are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Clarion Project. U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced at a press conference on April 19 that the White House is evaluating its policy on Iran. This policy overview will not merely cover the Iran nuclear deal, but will be a comprehensive look at all Iran-related issues. At a press conference, Tillerson formalized Iran’s provocative and destructive measures in different fields. “Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and is responsible for intensifying multiple conflicts and undermining U.S. interests in countries such as Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon, and continuing to support attacks against Israel … An unchecked Iran has the potential to travel the same path as North Korea, and take the world along with it … Iran’s provocative actions threaten the United States, the region, and the world …” he said. .... In a other part of this article Shahriar Kia adds : In 2009, when the Iranian people took to the streets and demanded fundamental change, their efforts went unsupported due to Obama’s appeasement policy that sought to sign the nuclear deal with Tehran at all costs. This was an opportunity that enjoyed the potential of significantly decreasing existing Middle East crises. Today, the regime in Tehran is facing crises far more dangerous than 2009. The correct Iran policy is supporting regime change by the Iranian people and their organized and legitimate resistance. By adopting such a stance, the international community can begin to confront Iran’s notorious influence in the region and its nuclear ambitions in order to spread security in a non-nuclear Middle East free of terrorism.

Now a days every where that doing a crime or massacre or killing and etc , we must search for Iranian Regime hand in it. once again a new the world’s conscience is offended by the shocking news of the deadly explosions in the churches of two Egyptian cities of Tanta and Alexandria and killing of dozens of innocent people.
These crimes in addition to Europe, have expanded to vast areas of the world. They are the results of crimes that have been perpetrated by the criminal Velayat-e faqih rule (absolute rule of clergy) in various countries in the region from Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and other countries, and particularly in Iran for years. It has victimized millions, most of whom have been Muslims.
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, strongly condemns these anti-human killings. While expressing condolences to the people and government of Egypt, It wishes speedy recovery for the injured, the committee calls for that the perpetrators of this horrible crime against humanity to be brought to justice.
Finally after many years of appeasement with Syrian regime and his supporter's Iranian regimes international society has taken action about this chemical attack by Syrian regime and all country and governments support of the US action.Although i have been so happy but targeting of Syrian dictator's bases and centers of chemical attacks is not enough .This move contributes to ending Syrian historical catastrophe that needs to be completed with expulsion of the religious fascism ruling Iran and its Revolutionary Guard and mercenaries from Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
should be completed with expulsion of Iranian regime and its IRGC and mercenaries from Syria, Iraq and Yemen
Heshmat Alavi has written in an article in Al-Arabiya on March 27, 2017 about how to blueprint the most effective Iran policy in this article he wrote : Iran has been continuing its series of blatant measures in defiance of norms accepted as standard by the international community, all as the Trump administration continues to weigh on blacklisting the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Iran has gone as far as pledging to launch “roaring missiles” in response to threats. To this day, several ballistic missile launches – capable of delivering nuclear payloads – have been Tehran’s report card.
Reports also show Iran increasing its support of the Houthis in Yemen by providing “Kamikazi” drones, water and airborne, to threaten shipping lines in Bab el-Mandeb and most certainly Saudi Navy ships, as weapons analysts confirmed forces aligned with former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh are also using these weapons to target missile-defense systems used by Saudi-led coalition units.

The threats from an already dangerous Iran are multiplying and will continue regardless of the outcome of the forthcoming election there 'said a senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council. Writing for US News, Lawrence Haas outlined the new threats: continued cheating on the nuclear deal negotiated with the West in 2015; expansion of Iranian naval activities in the Gulf; conventional arms and missile proliferation; and increased arms supply to proxies in Yemen and Lebanon.
Today The US Representative Office of the NCRI revealed, from its sources inside Iran, the regime's sophisticated program of training foreign mercenaries.
In this conference who was described by Alireza Jafarzadeh pointed on the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has created the Training Directorate, codenamed '12,000'. Headquartered at the Imam Ali military base, the IRGC operates dozens of training camps across Iran, specializing in all aspects of warfare from missile to marine operations. Cadres are divided by nationality as well as specialization.
The Training Directorate was approved by Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, on a visit to the Quds Force, according to a senior adviser to the IRGC commander-in-chief and the directorate’s former commander, IRGC Brigadier General, Khosrow Orouj. Every month, hundreds of forces from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Lebanon -- countries where the regime is involved in frontline combat -- receive military training and are subsequently dispatched to the various frontlines. For operations in countries where there is no open warfare - including Persian Gulf countries, such as Bahrain and Kuwait - terrorists cells are trained instead. Organization and Command:
The commander of the Quds training directorate is a veteran Quds commander who reports directly to Quds Force Commander, Qassem Soleimani. The group’s commander until 2015 - and for several years - was Brigadier General Rahimi. Before Rahimi, IRGC Brigadier General Khosrow Orouj held the position. Previously, Orouj was the IRGC commander in Lebanon, where he had a close relationship with the Lebanese Hezbollah. He participated in the 33-day war in Lebanon and was a friend of Imad Mughniyeh, a senior member of Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah. READ REPORT HERE
Obama easily ignored the crimes of Iranian regime said the former General Manager of al-Arabiya TV, Abdulrahman al-Rashad .
Abdulrahman al-Rashad
IRGC boats was entered in the international waters of the Persian Gulf for seventh times and the American destroyer has recently was faced on danger of it. Iran also celebrated the anniversary of the so-called humiliation of the American sailors. Obama is the only US President who has shouldered the burden of the Iranian regime Since 1979 up to now. He disregarded the policies of the 5 former US Presidents and negotiated with the Iranian regime. After that, he lifted the economic sanctions on Iran and ignored their crimes in Syria and finally signed a generous deal with them. The senior authorities of his government have stated in the Congress that Trump is not like Obama. .... If they fulfill what they have promised, there will be significant changes in the US policy in relation to the Persian Gulf as well as the balance of power in the Middle East. Obama made the worst mistake by giving the opportunity to this monstrous regime in order to bring disaster in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
This is a bitter story already fully experienced by Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon and has gradually extended to other countries in the region. What makes such fundamentalism and occupation more destructive is the fact that the greater part of its fuel and human force is provided by the paramilitary groups and militias formed in the same countries.
Let me highlight a very important reality. The Iranian regime's meddling in the region is not from a position of strength but derives from the crises it faces and its fundamental weaknesses.
Export of crisis and war guarantee the regime's survival. If the regime is limited to Iran's boundaries it would rapidly face fatal internal disputes and subsequently be overthrown by tides of the Iranian people yearning for freedom.
The other significant reality is that the regime's ostensible show of force is not from a position of strength, but the result of inaction and lack of firmness by the international community and regional powers. By the same token, wherever the regime meets firmness and serious resistance, it quickly is shaken up. The first decisive blow it received was in Yemen during the operation Decisive Storm when all its plans were foiled There is no doubt that Syria's people and combatants do have sufficient power to put an end to the life of this decadent dictatorship. And of course, this would be the beginning of the end for the Velayat-e Faqih regime in Iran, too.

The Hill reported on Wednesday that Iranian-backed Houthi forces in Yemen had twice fired on the USS Mason this past week. The U.S., it says, “may be drawing closer to a confrontation with Iran over involvement in Yemen’s civil war.” The crisis in Yemen began in September 2014 when Iran-backed Houthi rebels overthrew the Yemeni government and the U.S. joined a Saudi-led coalition in support of the ousted government. Pentagon spokesman, Capt. Jeff Davis, said, "we will respond to this threat at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner;" and that "It's no secret that Iran has been supplying [the Houthis] with the tools of war." Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. John Richardson, said in a statement, "The US Navy remains on watch in the Red Sea and around the world to defend America from attack and to protect U.S. strategic interests. These unjustified attacks are serious, but they will not deter us from our mission. We are trained and ready to defend ourselves and to respond quickly and decisively." read more
Saudi Arabia called on the United Nations Security Council on Thursday to put an end to the Iranian regime's weapons smuggling to the Al Houthi militia in Yemen as the clandestine shipments continue despite a UN resolution forbidding it, Gulf News reported. Saudi Arabia’s representative to the UN, Abdullah Al Mouallimi, added in a letter to Security Council president Gerard Van Bohemen that the smuggling of Iranian-made weapons to Yemeni militias fighting the internationally-recognized government of Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi is not only a violation of the Security Council resolution but also threatens the stability of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the region as a whole. “We further urge the Security Council to take all necessary measures to demand that Iran complies with all relevant Security Council resolutions, cease and desist from any illegal actions in Yemen,” Al Mouallimi added in the letter, which was carried by several regional news agencies. The seizure of weapons by maritime forces from Australia, France and the US, “uncovered huge shipments of illicit arms confirmed to have originated in Iran”, the letter added. Saudi Arabia reaffirmed in the letter its right “to take all appropriate measure to counter the threats by the Al Houthi-Saleh rebel militias and will spare no effort in protecting the security and safety of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and its people, and the region”. “On August 31 2016, Houthi rebel militias and their supporters fired a ballistic missile of the type “ZilZal-3” (“Earthquake-3”) at the city of Najran, in the south of Saudi Arabia. Rocket “ZilZal-3” is a short range ballistic missile produced in Iran,” the letter, which Al Arabiya News Channel also obtained, read.
