Iran repressive police fire at unarmed protesters Iranian suppressive state security forces opened fire on unarmed protesters at late hours of Sunday night, Oct. 29th injuring a number of them. The protesters were trying to celebrate the National Cyrus Day.  Reports indicate that there is an undeclared martial law in the city of Shiraz to prevent people having a gathering.

The Guards had set up dozens of roadblocks to prevent people from reaching the area. The people, therefore, decided to have this ceremony held in the city of Shiraz. 

Donald Trump speaks at White House on New US Iran Strategy.  Last Friday, President Trump announced the new US strategy towards Iran. Reaction to this strategy was diverse. Advocates of the appeasement policy condemned it, claiming it is in contrast with US interests. Some claimed with this strategy, people of Iran and the region will lose their trust in America. On the other hand, others believe the new strategy will mutually serve the interests of the US and Iranian people. Being the main victims of the West’s appeasement policy, the Iranian people had in fact been waiting for such a strategy for decades. Iran’s Malign Activities In his speech, Trump cited some of Iran’s malign activities during the past 38 years: “Beginning in 1979, agents of the Iranian regime illegally seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held more than 60 Americans hostage during the 444 days of the crisis. The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah twice bombed our embassy in Lebanon...

Iraqs Popular Mobilization Force commits criminal activities in Kurdish regions  Trump’s exclusion of Iraq from his enumeration of Iranian violations in the Arab world and the IRGC roles there, in Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon, has interesting implications. Iraq seems to occupy a special position for President Trump. The prime minister in Baghdad, Haider al-Abadi, may have earned the trust of the US president, and even a preferential position with regard to US support, possibly at the expense of the Kurds, Washington’s erstwhile long-standing ally. Indeed, Trump has overlooked the participation of the Popular Mobilization forces in battles alongside the federal Iraqi forces to retake Kirkuk from the Kurds and other Kurdish-claimed regions in northern Iraq, bearing in mind that the US Treasury Department has now targeted the IRGC as a supporter of designated groups and stepped its sanctions against Tehran’s elite force. Clearly, the state of division within the Kurdish ran...

The foreign fighters in Iraq need to go home and allow the Iraqi people to regain control,” Tillerson said at a joint news conference with Saudi foreign minister Adel Jubeir. Tens of thousands of Iraqis heeded a call to arms i...
