Many revolve around creating and marshaling proxy, mostly Shiite, forces from as far away as Pakistan to fight on its foreign battlefields. But Iran has dramatically reshaped regional power structures in its favor through a pattern of pragmatic and often risky moves.

Another example is Yemen, where Saudi Arabia has waged a 2-1/2-year war disastrous for civilians – with critical US military support – ostensibly to “roll back” Iranian-affiliated Houthi rebels. So far the results are an estimated 10,000 dead, hospitals and historical districts turned into rubble, and a Saudi blockade that exacerbates disease and mass starvation in one of the poorest nations on earth.

(AP Photo/Nasser Nasser, File) A year later, he has made little headway and his hoped-for peace push appears to be in tatters. The move, seen as siding with Israel, set off weeks of unrest and prompted the Palestinians to declare Trump unfit to mediate peace. Trump promised to pursue “the ultimate deal” – an agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 14, 2017 file photo, Palestinian protesters burn a poster with a picture of U.

White House officials described the president as furious at Bannon’s criticisms, laid out in an explosive new book that quoted the former aide as questioning Trump’s competence and describing a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between Donald Trump Jr. , Trump campaign aides and a Russian lawyer as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.

A passenger in the vehicle was killed. No one on the train was hurt.

Four people were killed in North and South Carolina after their vehicles ran off snow-covered roads, authorities said.

While there are limits to how far it can extend its authority, Tehran’s rapid rise poses new challenges to the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia as it undermines their previous dominance. In a region already reeling from multiple wars, the residue of the Arab Spring uprisings, and a deepening Sunni-Shiite divide, the fundamental question is this: How far can Tehran extend its reach? But now Iran has achieved milestones of leverage and influence that rival any regional power in the past half-century.

Such high-level contact has some Iraqis asking if the Americans, not the Iranians, should back off. The US ambassador meets with the Iraqi defense minister every week. The US still plays a significant role in Iraq, too. 3 billion in foreign aid in 2016 alone and lost 4,500 US soldiers. Abadi’s official website is full of pictures of the Iraqi premier meeting senior Americans officials.

More than 500 Revolutionary Guards have died fighting in Syria since 2012, including a number of generals, according to tabulations by Washington-based analyst Ali Alfoneh. Hezbollah has lost 1,200 fighters, and more than 800 Afghans have perished.

Harboring similar religious motivations with Iran, the militias sometimes enter battle wearing pins and waving banners with images of Iranian ayatollahs and generals.

Indeed, that the measure enjoyed such strong congressional backing is an insult to the memory of the dead kids of Sandy Hook, the worshippers, the music fans, the partygoers, the college students and the hundreds of others who fall victim each day to unregulated guns. Proposals like the reciprocity bill are not at all helpful.

Ending the restrictions on Iranian travel to the United States isn’t merely a symbolic step. Unfortunately, past experience suggests that the unrest within Iran may force some activists and dissidents into hurried exile.

The riverine boats were inappropriately searched and communications wires cut, the probe found. The report casts a strongly unfavorable light on the actions of the Iranian guards, who the investigating officer found accosted and detained US sailors in an innocent passage through territorial waters, against international norms.

Starting as early as 2004, Iran-backed Shiite militias battled US troops in Iraq. But these forces faded after the US withdrawal in 2011. As regimes changed, so did targets.

Amtrak Cascades Train 501 was going 80 mph into a 30 mph curve when it derailed Monday morning, strongly suggesting operating errors.

In its latest counterattack, for example, Saudi Arabia orchestrated the abrupt resignation in early November of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, its most important Sunni political bulwark against the power of Shiite Hezbollah – and its patron, Iran – in a delicate coalition government.

It supports the government of President Ashraf Ghani – but also has given calibrated support to the Taliban for at least a decade to help it attack US forces, and more recently to crush ISIS. Iran must tread carefully in Afghanistan, too.

The ten sailors were kept together in a room, where they were first interrogated together, then one-by-one, in sessions ranging from 15 minutes to two hours. Iranian captors would bring in food and attempt to film the sailors with a video camera as they ate. The lead boat captain resisted these efforts to film the crews, but ultimately told the sailors they should eat because it wasn’t clear when their next meal was coming.

For this reason, Trump’s Twitter barrage on behalf of Iran’s protestors was inevitable. The president has made a point to differentiate himself from his predecessor on a range of key issues and has lambasted Obama’s approach to Iran since he launched his bid for office.

With few exceptions, those administrations have embraced or sought to embrace multilateral cooperation and engagement. If fully implemented, the strategy could represent a profound shift from the traditional post-Cold War approach to global affairs taken by administrations of both political parties over the past three decades.

The CDC’s new director, Brenda Fitzgerald, replied that “there are no banned words at CDC. Why would they eliminate “vulnerable,” ”entitlement,” ”diversity” and “transgender” in a budget document other than to airbrush the ideas out of the underlying policy? ” That’s a relief, given the agency’s mission, which includes acting as sentinel for public health, warning of threats and responding rapidly to meet them. Fitzgerald’s assurance does not ease concerns that higher-ups at HHS are insisting on banned words to enforce a political and ideological agenda.

They later sent us the invoice, but they saved us,” says an Iraqi analyst who has worked for the Defense Ministry in Baghdad. Iran looks out for Iranian interests, period. “They literally sent us an invoice for the weaponry, the bullets, and the ammo that they gave us to fight ISIS, [which] proved to people that Iran does not look out for Shiite interests.

And there are risks of blowback against Arab Shiites, who may be seen by Sunnis and others as doing Iran’s bidding, further undermining Tehran’s influence. The country faces formidable risks in its outside military ventures, too: Every theater of war where Iran has been active has seen an uptick of Shiite versus Sunni sectarianism, which complicates Tehran’s ability to establish control.Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, who flew to the scene Thursday night, said authorities still didn’t know what led to the accident at the crossing in Millas, some 15 kilometers (9 miles) west of Perpignan, close to the border with Spain.

From the outset, communications were a problem. The second riverine boat, 805, eventually established satellite communication with officials from the parent unit, Task Force 56. The lead boat, 802, never established satellite communication.

From Egypt’s Pan-Arabist Gamal Abdel Nasser, to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, to the theocrats in Tehran today, the region has served as the world’s premier crucible for rulers to forge geopolitical hegemony, often with failed results. One narrative of the modern Middle East is of potentates trying to stamp their imprint across these often volatile states. This is to say nothing of the intrusive meddling of the US, Russia, and other outside powers over the decades.

Despite the risk of potential isolation presented by Trump’s strategy, its fundamentals are not a surprise. The strategy is largely drawn from themes Trump has described in speeches and is based on four pillars: protecting the homeland, stimulating American prosperity, promoting peace through strength and enhancing American leadership.

Being able to talk about science is absolutely critical in, say, understanding the value of childhood vaccination in preventing the spread of measles. ” Unfettered scientific research is vital for maintaining public health, even when the results are unpopular with some communities and points of view. Does anyone gain by hiding the truth these words express? Just as distressing is the attempt to limit the use of “evidence-based” and “science-based. And can there be an honest discussion of the health effects of climate change without science and evidence? “Fetus” is a scientific word essential to exploring the impact of the Zika virus on the health of infants and pregnant women. Someone should tell the foolish thought police at HHS to stand down.

Average Iranians also are angry at Trump for slights such as his travel bans. Yet he voiced support for protests in Iran at the end of the year, unlike Obama’s caution toward demonstrations in 2009 over its disputed presidential election.

Trump has largely continued Obama’s mostly hands-off policy, effectively allowing Russia to take the reins militarily and politically, along with Iran, both Assad allies. In dealing with Syria’s civil war, Trump made it clear his fight was not against President Bashar Assad, who has presided over killings on a massive scale in order to retain power.

In Syria, Kurdish forces with stepped-up backing from U. Since then, they and Syrian forces have been pushing IS out of most of its remaining territory. forces retook the de facto IS capital of Raqqa.

Linking trade considerations to security issues may invite distrust among the United States’ allies, thus leading to turmoil. Regarding trade issues, there are international rules established under a framework separate from that of national security. It could also hinder realization of the security strategy.

Mohammed bin Salman was later elevated to crown prince, putting him next in line to the throne. Mohammed bin Salman, King Salman’s assertive young son, traveled to the U. to meet with Trump’s administration and became close to Kushner.

Moscow and Washington are at odds over issues ranging from North Korea to Ukraine, despite Trump’s open admiration of President Vladimir Putin. A year into his presidency, it’s no clearer. Trump repeatedly declared in his campaign that he would improve relations with Russia but was never specific.The spread of extremism has alarmed many exiled Uighur leaders, who condemn violence and say it will lead their people’s ruin. But they’re confronted by a young generation who see no future under one of the world’s most powerful authoritarian governments and feel ignored by the rest of the world.

Declaring victory over ISIS in late November, Mr. Khamenei called it a “divine triumph” of the Iranian-led “axis of resistance. no fateful step can be taken in Iraq, Syria, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf. ” Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, decreed Oct.

Tehran will be sensitive to any sign that Paris, London, or Rome — as well as Seoul and Tokyo — are willing to reconsider their growing economic and diplomatic ties if the demonstrations are forcefully repressed.

When a grassroots movement emerges to confront one of the most durably dangerous governments in the world, there is no reasonable alternative — and no alternative consistent with American interests and values — other than to embrace, uphold, and defend the activists.

In perhaps the most significant misstep during this period of detention, the lead boat commander agreed to read scripted remarks on camera in front of an Iranian “news crew” in which he apologized for the mistake of ending up in Iranian water and said the incident was “our fault. ” He did this in exchange for the promise of release, the investigation found, against military code of conduct rules for such situations.

While the administration often says that “America First” does not mean “America Alone,” the NSS to be presented by Trump on Monday will make clear that the United States will stand up for itself even if that means acting unilaterally or alienating others on issues like trade, climate change and immigration, according to sources familiar with the strategy. must fight on all fronts to protect and defend its sovereignty from friend and foe alike.

Until now, Shiite Iran had met with only limited success trying to expand its influence across the mostly Sunni Islamic world, despite the call decades ago to “export the revolution” by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

It is not a far stretch from these examples of misguided censorship abroad to the actions of the HHS language militia. According to Post reporters Lena H. ” But in other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.

Washington caps the island’s Medicaid assistance. This means that while federal revenue covers 75 percent of the Medicaid bill for low-income states like Mississippi, Puerto Rico gets only about 15 to 20 percent coverage. So it resorts to local budgeting and more debt, thereby worsening the bankruptcy spiral.

When he visited Fallujah during the mid-2016 fight, for example, the defense analyst says he saw no sign of the militias. You’d think they liberated the place. The Shiite militias also may get more credit for military triumphs than they deserve. But afterward, “I saw nothing but

and their posters, and their flags,” he says.

Several thousand Uighur men, women and children are estimated to have crossed the border to join the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), an ethnic Uighur militia allied with al-Qaida on the front lines of the fighting . The war in Syria has thrust an ethnic minority from the far reaches of China into the center of the global jihadi movement.

This would mean more business flight and closings, and the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. The tax bill working its way through Congress could make things worse, according to island officials. They fear Puerto Rico’s status as a “foreign jurisdiction” would expose it to a devastating new 20 percent import tax on products sold to the states.

It is a no-brainer that Iran would not be bragging about the Shahab 3’s dividing warhead if it did not intend to mount a nuclear bomb on it. You do not have to be Mohamed El Baradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to know that nuclear facilities for civilian purposes have no use for plutonium and heavy water, of which Iran has recently proudly announced possession. The first is that any Western diplomat who still believes Iran’s statements that its nuclear program is intended for civilian purposes only, is an irredeemable fool. The price tag for military action in Iran is very high, given the economic disaster anticipated as a result of shutting down the oil supply. The day Iran achieves nuclear capability marks the dawn of a darker age. Iran says that its nuclear program is for civilian purposes, when it does not even bother to conceal the proof that it is lying. This willingness to accept the Iranian position, as Russia and France do, even half-heartedly, is dangerous to the world. But the price for avoiding such action is much higher.

The strategy attaches great importance to preserving mutual interests shared by Japan and the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, and considers Japan as “our critical ally” in responding to North Korea and other issues. It is commendable that the strategy has stated expressly that the United States will cooperate on missile defense with Japan and South Korea; seek to increase quadrilateral cooperation with Japan, Australia, and India; and maintain a forward military presence.

Despite the lack of strategic importance of launching an Iranian satellite into space, it has sweeping importance as a statement. In 1998, the missile was tested, and according to Iranian statements, it is only intended for launching satellites into space. The missile is based on the R12, a famous Soviet missile. Launching a satellite is the traditional way of announcing a nation’s entry into the nuclear club.The Federal Communications Commission repealed the Obama-era “net neutrality” rules Thursday, giving internet service providers like Verizon, Comcast and AT 49 club revelers die in Orlando, Florida; 33 students are killed on the Virginia Tech campus; 25 churchgoers meet their God in Sutherland Springs, Texas; and 20 six- and seven-year-olds in Newtown, Connecticut, will never play again.

Nearly half of Puerto Rico’s residents rely on Medicaid, which is not as well funded federally on the island as it is in the states. The problems are compounded by a looming financial crisis that experts say could leave a quarter of the island’s residents without medical care early next year unless Congress and the Trump administration extend special help.

After a meeting in Paris on Wednesday, the French and Malian leaders said they hoped the G5 would secure its first victories by the middle of 2018 to prove its worth and ensure more concrete support from the United Nations.

President Donald Trump’s administration. The protests that erupted across Iran have thrust a crisis and an opportunity upon U. Trump came into office palpably itching to take on Iran, but his focus — much like of that of his predecessor — has been squarely trained on Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

(AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici) Flags on the wall represents Turkey and “East Turkistan,” the name Uighurs who oppose Chinese rule call their homeland, a region China refers to as Xinjiang. As Uighurs flee a Chinese security crackdown in droves, they often end up caught in a tug-of-war between militant Uighur members of Syria-based Islamic groups and moderate leaders of the Uighur diaspora who plead with them to reject calls of jihad.

As his second year in office dawns, however, Trump appears to be moving steadily toward raising tariffs or restricting imports to try to force China to take steps to narrow its trade surplus with the United States.

PARIS, Dec 14 (Reuters) – A Saudi-backed Islamic military coalition will provide logistical, intelligence and training to a new West African counter-terrorism force that is struggling to get off the ground, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said.

It is here, sipping water from crystalline glasses, that pains are taken to explain how the loyalty of Nujaba’s 10,000 fighters to Khamenei – as the embodiment of Iran’s system of 
velayat-e faqih
, supreme religious rule – is not the same as loyalty to Iran. Nowhere is Iran’s influence more obvious than in the headquarters of Iraq’s most pro-Iran militias, such as the Nujaba.

In recent months, after Turkey reached agreements with China to crack down on militant activity, the jihadi recruiters have faded from view somewhat. Turkey has strengthened security on the border, making it harder to move back and forth, Uighurs say.

As long as Iran has the inherent capability to produce nuclear weapons materials, be it by enriching uranium or reprocessing plutonium, it will have the option of following in the footsteps of North Koreas withdrawing from the nonproliferation treaty, ousting the inspectors and finishing a bomb.

Speaking in an interview with France 24 television, Adel al-Jubeir said his country’s contribution would go much further by using the platform of the recently-established Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition to support the G5 Sahel.Russian officials had high hopes that Trump would move to abandon or reduce the sanctions that the United States imposed over Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.

The politics and indifference underlying the island’s desperation recall the lyrics of Stephen Sondheim 60 years ago in “West Side Story”: It’s been 12 weeks and counting, and Puerto Rico still flounders in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, left to beg for federal help.

In fact, the festivities continue for 10 days when all trading is brought to a halt inside the shops area. All the merchants take a lot of pride in celebrating the Day of Ashura. Many other such religious functions are also held throughout the year. When you visit Tabriz, you will be impressed by the interest in holding religious ceremonies in Tabriz bazaar.

Iraq’s Shiite militias were reinvigorated in mid-2014 with the advance of ISIS. Iraq’s top religious authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, issued a 
fatwa
 
calling on all able-bodied men to take up arms as ISIS forces pushed perilously close to Baghdad.

If such steps fail to restrain the mood on the streets, Iran’s security forces can likely forcefully quash unrest. Still, even if the streets go silent, the frustrations that impelled Iranians to risk their lives and their livelihoods are unlikely to quickly abate.

A double ISIS attack last June on Iran’s parliament and the Khomeini mausoleum in Tehran killed at least 17. Iran hasn’t been immune from the violence engulfing much of the region. It shocked the country and reinforced the official “fight them abroad, not at home” justification for Iran’s foreign adventures.

In line with the increase in its national defense expenses, Washington also called for its allies to shoulder a “fair share of the burden of responsibility. The strategy calls for preserving “peace through strength” and indicates the administration’s policy of building up U.

And there was anger and astonishment over Trump’s vulgar reference to African countries. ambassador to clarify whether it, too, was held in such regard. As calls for apologies or boycotts followed, the relatively placid southern African nation of Botswana summoned the U.

Their bill, which passed 231 to 198, fundamentally rolls over a state’s right to control who may carry a concealed weapon and under what conditions. Republicans, who revere state’s rights, seem to have forgotten their allegiance to the doctrine.

European voices are especially important right now: Iranian leaders are counting on the old rules of the game, where the prospect of expanding trade and investment binds Europe to silence around Iran’s worst abuses, to apply.

Regarding North Korea, which is proceeding with its nuclear and missile development, and Iran, a country that supports terrorist organizations, the strategy condemns both as “rogue regimes” that destabilize their regions. While preventing military tensions from escalating, the United States must resolutely deal with North Korea’s provocation.

As the US Navy
crews of two riverine command boats were being held on Iran’s Farsi بلیط قطار رجا island by members of the Revolutionary Guard, their captors began to interrogate the group, demanding to know where the Navy “mothership” was.

To the east, India and China are threatened by the missile, although China does not have much to قیمت بلیط قطار (www.gudongtz.com) worry about, since ballistic advancements in Iran rely a great deal on Chinese technology. When upgraded, the missile can fly up to 3500 km. Translated into geo-strategic terms, this means Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin are in range. Other countries are threatened by the missiles, but they are not of strategic importance.

officials to avoid speaking out on behalf of the protestors and instead to provide Iranians with “the gift of our silence. On this basis, there has already been a 
chorus of appeals

“With billions in sanctions relief coming, that support goes into overdrive. “Across the region, Iran is stepping up its support for militants and rebel groups,” Ed Royce (R. ), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told the Journal.

It will serve as the basic principle for the administration’s foreign and security policies. It is expected to bring about such effects as eliminating, to a certain extent, concern over the unpredictable words and deeds of Trump. It is said to be the first time for the security strategy to have been formulated by any administration in its first year in the White House. administration under President Donald Trump unveiled its National Security Strategy.

Democratic governors on both coasts blasted the plan. Andrew Cuomo called it “another federal assault on our environment” while California Gov. Jerry Brown vowed to block “this reckless, short-sighted action.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – A federal grand jury in Oklahoma has indicted a 63-year-old man accused of kidnapping his stepdaughter and holding her captive for 19 years in Mexico and elsewhere while fathering her nine children.Thus uranium must be processed in a uranium enrichment facility before it can be used as fuel for nuclear power. This leads us to another important question: If Iran does develop a peaceful nuclear energy program, how difficult would it be to use that same technology to make nuclear weapons? Nuclear power plants need 3 to 4 percent enriched uranium for fuel, but natural uranium only contains 0. Again, Iran has said that its goal is not to make nuclear weapons, but to develop nuclear energy.

Some experts have speculated that Israel may be planning a preemptive strike, although military action would most likely be used as a last resort. A nuclear-armed Iran would be a serious threat to our security. However, with troops already deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Bush appears – at least for the time being – to be committed to finding a diplomatic solution to the standoff.

Its children’s agency UNICEF said at least 115 children were among the dead. So far the fighting and air strikes have killed more than 1,000 people, including an estimated 551 civilians since the bombings started on March 26, the United Nations said on Friday.

The G5 Sahel launched a symbolic military operation to mark its creation in October amid growing unrest in the Sahel, whose porous borders are regularly crossed by jihadists, including affiliates of al Qaeda and Islamic State.

Adversary
Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter and Sunni Muslim regional adversary of Shi’ite Iran, feels threatened by the Shi’ite Houthi advance across Yemen since last September, when the rebels captured the capital. Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, gather during a protest against Saudi-led airstrikes in Sanaa, Yemen, Friday, April 10, 2015.

A university student attends a protest inside Tehran University while a smoke grenade is thrown by anti-riot Iranian police, in Tehran, Iran, December 30, 2017. A wave of spontaneous protests over Iran’s weak economy swept into Tehran on Saturday, with college students and others chanting against the government just hours after hard-liners held their own rally in support of the Islamic Republic’s clerical establishment.

These days the world faces the threat of Iran, a regime ruled by retrograde, fanatical mullahs who are eager to bring about the end of the world to fulfill their religious lunacies. If they continue in their current path, it’s going to be only a matter of time before they can reach America. Moreover, it can easily control the flow of oil from other Arab countries out of the Middle East, thus strangling the world. Iran openly and indisputably supports terrorist proxies in various places, and remotely leads them to wreak havoc in Israel and elsewhere. Iran is financially strong, and like Iraq, it sits on a sea of oil. Iran, like Iraq before it, is the leading exporter of terrorism. Iran is pursuing the manufacture of nuclear weapons, and already possesses intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel, and soon Europe. The question is not whether this modus operandi will spread to Europe and America, but rather when.

This week 300 tribal fighters trained in Saudi Arabia were deployed back to their home area in the Sirwah district of central Marib province to fight the Houthis and managed to push the militia back, a Yemeni official source told Reuters.

An original version was approved by only 51-49 – with Rubio’s support. Senate Republicans could still pass the package without Rubio’s vote, but they would be cutting it extremely close. The co-sponsor of Rubio’s proposed change, Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, is undecided on the overall bill and pushing to make the credit as generous as possible, said Lee spokesman Conn Carroll.

One of the achievements reported by the Iranian news agency IRNA was a special warhead mounted on the Shahab 2 missile. This is a warhead which releases 1,400 bomblets, each the size of a hand grenade, upon hitting the ground. According to foreign publications, the test of this warhead was a success.

In private moments, Fatima has wondered if the journey out of China was worth it. She recently explained to her 11-year-old daughter in seventh grade that because she was not officially a refugee, she didn’t receive certificates from school despite outperforming all of her classmates.

Uighur assailants have in recent years hacked dozens of civilians to death at a busy train station in Kunming, driven a speeding vehicle into Tiananmen Square and set off crude explosives outside government buildings and markets. Western analysts say it’s unclear whether overseas groups provide direct aid or support to Uighur militants inside China. Chinese authorities have responded with a show of overwhelming force in Xinjiang.

Hatred of the United States has been a key component of Iranian foreign policy since the 1978 Islamic revolution, and Iran’s leaders often refer to the United States as the ”Great Satan. Iran is governed by Shiite Muslim clerics committed to a stern interpretation of Islamic law.The 170-page probe found shoddy training, poor preparation, communication gaps and leadership failures all were to blame for the international incident, which was manipulated into a propaganda victory by the Iranians.

Ellison’s post said the book should “strike fear into the heart” of President Donald Trump. The tweet, which drew more than 8,000 comments and more than 2,500 retweets, drew pushback from Republicans, who have criticized the movement’s at-times violent disruptions of speaking engagements and white supremacist rallies.

Redundancy is high and there is no way to take Iran’s nuclear capacity out as was done in Iraq in 1981 and in Syria, lately. Yet, the very phrase “military solution” is an oxymoron, claim his critics. Better to wait for political change and voluntary disarmament as happened in Libya, they insist. Iran’s nuclear program is spread over 60 sites, some of them deep inland.

This approach, nonetheless, may be worth pursuing with Iran – if only to call Tehran’s bluff. So far, however, the U. In fact, most experts believe Pyongyang already has several such weapons in its inventory. In other words, if they really insist on the need for a peaceful nuclear infrastructure, then the world should help them build nuclear power plants which do not produce the kind of nuclear byproduct which can be used to produce nuclear weapons. and Europeans continue to pursue this issue in the UN context. On Iran’s nuclear ambitions, some have suggested an approach which mirrors our policy vis-a-vis N. Korea and Iran clearly have ambitions of possessing nuclear weapons.

House of Representatives passed a piece of legislation that is the National Rifle Association’s top priority. On the contrary, just two weeks before the fifth anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy, the Republican-led U.

Reuters news agency, which reported the experiment, interviewed Duncan Lennox, editor of “Jane’s Strategic Weapons System”, an arms and weaponry journal, and asked him about the warhead. He confirms that it is not an important strategic innovation.

This missile is based on the North Korean Nodong missile. When it is upgraded with systems from a Russian missile (R12 or SSN6), its range improves significantly. From different publications in the Iranian English media, the Iranian News Agency, and different websites, we can conclude that the Iranians have developed a significant upgrade to the Shahab 3. But it does not end there.

Minutes later, two small Iranian boats approached, crew-mounted weapons pointed at the riverine boats. Some of the riverine crew members went to man their own crew-mounted weapons, but the captain of the lead boat, a Navy lieutenant and the only officer in the group, waved them off in an attempt to de-escalate.

His aggressive pursuit of immigrants had several Latin American countries preparing for a flood of deportees that has yet to arrive. illegally to stay and work – a decision recently suspended by a federal judge. He ended the Obama-era program that allowed young immigrants brought to the U. His hardball renegotiation of the North American Trade Agreement has kept the Mexican peso dancing for months as he and his team regularly threaten to walk away if Mexico and Canada don’t submit to significant changes.

A nuclear bomb requires about 90 percent enriched uranium, which is high compared to the percentage found in fuel, but according to experts it requires more energy to convert natural uranium to fuel than it takes to convert fuel into weapons-grade uranium. What most people don’t realize is the exact same technology and equipment used to enrich uranium for fuel can be used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons; it simply requires more passes through the enrichment plant.

But today – on the back of years of Iranian military intervention to fight ISIS and bolster its allies abroad, years of diminishing US leadership, and repeatedly outsmarting and outmuscling its chief regional rival, Sunni Saudi Arabia – Iran has emerged as the dominant power in the region.

They have spent the last few weeks training there: parachuting, paragliding, urban warfare (laba”b in Hebrew), and hand to hand combat. Units of Sayeret Matka”l (“Headquarters Scouts”, Israel’s elite special forces) have been transferred to the mock in Biq’at Hayareach (“Moon Vale”), not far from Eilat. The area is isolated (it got its name from its eerie similarity to the moonscape), but various civilian suppliers have reported massive explosions during the day. An eventual attack on Iran may include ground forces. Special emphasis is placed on explosives.

Iranians were justifiably affronted by the restrictions, in part because they were disproportionately affected. Finally, the most important step that the White House could take in support of Iran’s courageous opposition would be to remove Iran from the list of countries subject to Trump’s travel ban.

On top of that, the investigation determined, the task force fostered a “can’t say no” command climate, meaning that lower-ranking troops fell in line rather than raising important concerns. Kyle Moses, didn’t realize the units were inadequately prepared for deployment, the investigator found. Poor communication meant that the then-commander of Task Force 56, Capt.

But no one had the guts to do that: world leaders thought that it was all right to look to the other side, wait for things to magically fix themselves, or plunge into the delusional quagmire of thinking they could negotiate with Hitler and be content that a paper bearing his signature promising to behave would be enough. If the most important world leaders in the 1930s-British Prime Minister Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Daladier and American President Roosevelt-had decided to enforce the Treaty of Versailles, if the League of Nations had had the strength and courage to react when faced by the reality of the demonization and dehumanization of the Jewish people taking place in Germany, if anybody beside Churchill had understood the real threat that Hitler posed after the staggering militarization of the country, then they would have stopped Hitler when he was weak, when it was legitimate to do so, and when they still had time.

However, while Iran, which is already battling ISIS in Iraq and Syria, might have justifications in building closer ties with the Taliban, the move pits it directly against the United States. are currently attempting to negotiate a nuclear deal, which, if successful, would bring billions of dollars in sanctions relief.

Ellison, the deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, posted a photo on Twitter Wednesday of himself posing with the book “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook. ” The book calls violence during counter-protests “a small though vital sliver of anti-fascist activity.

What happens now is in doubt. The largely hands-off approach to marijuana enforcement set forth by Barack Obama’s Justice Department allowed the pot business to flourish into a sophisticated, multimillion-dollar industry that helps fund some state government programs.

“The problem is the number of tribal fighters being trained is very small and not enough,” said the Yemeni source who declined to be named, adding that the training includes giving the fighters light weapons and tactical advice.

In its push to become the most powerful nation in the region, Iran has fomented unrest among Iraq’s Shia, supported terrorist ally Hezbollah in a brutal summer war with Israel, and aggressively pursued a nuclear program that it claims is for peaceful purposes, but which the world strongly suspects is a concerted effort to acquire nuclear weapons. There is little doubt among the world’s nations that Iran has become the greatest threat to stability in the Middle East.

“If you ask me, the revolution of Khomeini and Iran has succeeded by exporting its revolution,” adds Amara. You can say that we [Iraqi militias] look like Hezbollah now – but we are Iraqi. “Hezbollah and its followers believe in that revolution.

The Iranian drill is termed a response to the American show of force, although this is unlikely, as preparations for a drill of this magnitude would require much more time for preparation. In the last few weeks, the US army began a series of maneuvers in the Persian Gulf.

Also of note is the fact that the enemies of the past were in a way like us: people who may have hated us but had a high regard for at least their own lives. The Germans that perished in the war died fighting, and surely after having tried to avoid their own death as much as possible. Not even the most demonic Nazi bastard was willing to die just to murder some Jews. We are faced with a group of fanatics who have been brainwashed to the point of not having any regard for human life, be it their enemies’ (including babies! If the Israelis had not preemptively destroyed the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak in the 1980s then American troops would have faced an enemy with nuclear weapons in 1991. This is the reason why the old tradition of waiting to be attacked before attacking ourselves cannot be sustained. That is no longer the case.

Nevertheless, across the region Iran has improved its leverage using astute, asymmetrical means despite limited military resources. Three countries in particular – Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan – illustrate how Iran has expanded its power and highlight some of the risks it faces with its newfound clout.Sound Transit, which owns the track segment and upgraded it with federal money passed through the state Department of Transportation, said the automatic braking system, known as positive train control (PTC), was scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of 2018.

This lack of leadership and training was considered by investigator to be an extenuating factor in the conduct of the riverine boat crews, which made a series of bad choices starting with “blindly” deviating from course at the outset.

Iran has also successfully tested what it calls a ”supermodern flying boat. ” Iran claims that the flying boat was entirely ”made in Iran” and that it can move at high speeds and avoid radar detection. The United States said it was possible Iran had developed weapons that could evade sonar and radar but warned the Islamic Republic had a tendency to ”boast and exaggerate.

Saudi Arabia later joined three other Arab nations in boycotting Qatar, home to a U. Trump’s first foreign trip as president was to Riyadh for a summit of more than 50 Arab and Muslim leaders. While American officials have tried to defuse the crisis, Trump offered comments seeming to back the boycotters.

Texas and Florida had no such restraints after their hurricanes. A double standard in the law was quickly clear after the storm when a federal cap on Puerto Rico’s food stamps limited the amount of emergency food aid. The Trump recovery imprint has been far clearer in Gulf Coast states hit by hurricanes this year than on an island that has so little political clout.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos would not comment on the bill in the works, other than to say that she supports a separate provision to extend savings accounts that are now restricted to college tuition to K-12 education.

REUTERS/Mohamed al-Sayaghi Yemen’s prime minister and newly appointed vice president Khaled Bahah traveled from Riyadh to Doha on Monday to discuss ways of re-establishing the authority of Yemen’s government in exile, sources familiar with the matter said. Supporters of Yemen’s former president Ali Abdullah Saleh hold up their weapons during a rally against Saudi-led coalition airstrikes, in Sanaa April 3, 2015.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump’s “America First” vision is a stark worldview that sees rivals battling each other for supremacy or relevance and has little use for alliances, treaties and other international agreements unless they directly benefit the United States, its industry and workers.

“These men in Syria will ruin our image, they’ll ruin everything,” Adil said. “The Chinese government through their media and diplomats try to show that Uighurs are terrorists, and, in that sense, the Chinese are winning.

Nuclear Energy accounted for nil power generation. The
reformist and populist agenda of the Iranian government has time
and again insisted that the ongoing production is solely for civilian
purposes. As of 2006, Iran’s energy requirements were satisfied with a 75%
contribution from natural gas, 18% from oil and 7% from hydro
plants.

Critics say the coalition could become a means for Saudi Arabia to implement an even more assertive foreign policy by winning the backing of poorer African and Asian nations with offers of financial and military aid. (Reporting by John Irish and Crispian Balmer, Editing by William Maclean)

Some analysts have criticized this approach, including a former Obama official who 
admonished
 
the administration to “keep quiet and do nothing. ” While presumably well-intentioned, the critics are wrong.

It is reported to attain almost 200 knots, giving its target little opportunity for evasive maneuvers. The Russian Shkval is an exceptionally high-speed underwater torpedo. Apparently fired from standard 533mm torpedo tubes, the Shkval has a range of about 7,500 yards. By creating a local ”envelope” of supercavitating bubbles, the weapon can achieve its spectacular speed. The weapon clears the tube at 50 knots, after which its rocket fires.

Supporters of defeated Iranian presidential candidate Mirhossein Mousavi attend a rally in Tehran June 18, 2009. Tens of thousands of Iranians, wearing black and carrying candles, marched on Thursday to mourn those killed in mass protests against a presidential election they and Mousavi say was rigged.

The name of each candidate, printed on a piece of paper, was placed into separate film canisters. The canisters were put into a cobalt-blue-and-white ceramic bowl made by a local artist and stirred around. So the focus was entirely on Simonds, who sat stoically as the commission ran through the ceremony.

As millions of Iranians poured into the streets to protest the dubious re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Obama 
responded
 
with his trademark sobriety, emphasizing his respect for Iranian sovereignty and stopping short of endorsing the protestors’ cause.

The after-effects of even a limited air attack may be devastating and not necessarily short-term, as the Israelis are convinced. The Arab countries are likely to breathe a sigh of relief that the Iranian bully has been humbled. Wiping off all the widely distributed and impregnable components of Iran’s capability to enrich uranium is close to impossible. The price of oil is likely to spike and radicals and extremists throughout the benighted region are bound to leverage the attack to smear and taunt Israel and its allies but, then, what else is new. No one knows for sure where will Israel strike.In the meantime, the exodus continues. “Yo no me quito” (“I’m not quitting”) has become the vow of those determined to stay to work for a recovery that is hardly in sight. “Everyone there will have moved here,” Anita sings in “West Side Story. ” The current debate on the island has a more anguished edge about whether to go or stay.

This is the crux of the problem: a small group of militant Islamic fanatics can create enormous destruction with just a little investment, if they have the organizational, monetary and infrastructure support of a big entity like Iran, Syria or Saudi Arabia. No need for sophisticated ICBMs or even heavy bombers. This is very important: a small group of Bedouins does not have the capacity to make uranium 235 or plutonium, but a large, powerful state like Iran does. In the immediate future their Russian-built nuclear reactor will be fitted with nuclear fuel rods, which could be later used to produce weapons-grade plutonium. Think about how easy this would be: I’m not talking about deploying dirty bombs in Washington or New York, but any medium-sized cities in the US, Tel Aviv or Haifa. So, it stands to reason that if Iran wants to do as much harm as possible to the West it will be better off inciting and supporting a bunch of ignorant, fanatical Islamic militants, like Hezbollah, Hamas or others. Can we afford to allow this to happen? Can we afford to wait for the so-called “smoking gun”? Can Israel afford to wait until the international community of appeasers gets their act together? The security at ports of entry in the US will not stop Iran from smuggling this stuff in: it’s easy enough to ship it in one of the many millions of unchecked containers that come into the US every day. It only takes a small amount of radioactive material distributed to a few deranged suicidal psychopaths to attack many cities.

The new five-year drilling plan also could open new areas of oil and gas exploration in areas off the East Coast from Florida to Maine, where drilling has been blocked for decades. Rick Scott of Florida and Larry Hogan of Maryland, who pressed President Donald Trump to withdraw their states from consideration. While some lawmakers in those states support offshore drilling, the plan drew immediate opposition from governors up and down the East Coast, including Republican Govs.

Russia and China, both heavily invested in Iran, will not undertake actions that will harm their financial interests, no matter what is expected of them under the provisions of the U. Unless a great majority of other nations is willing to actively enforce a real sanctions package, Iran will be unaffected by such measures in its quest for nuclear weapons. Sanctions, especially the ones recently imposed by the Security Council, will have a negligible effect at best. Historically such measures have proven ineffective, particularly when the goal is to target something the sanctioned nation deems as vital or extremely important.

“The United Nations maintains its view that any political initiative by international actors should be assessed by its ability to contribute to and support the mandated political process under the United Nations in Geneva,” the U. Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said in a statement. “The Special Envoy will be consulting the Secretary-General once he has received all the information required.

In Turkey, religious extremism has peeled away young Uighur men and entire families from Istanbul’s immigrant neighborhoods, from gritty central Anatolian suburbs – sometimes from right outside the airport. Extensive Associated Press interviews detail the daily battle some Uighur activists are fighting against the radicalization of their people, members of a Muslim ethnic minority who live in China under heavy surveillance and the constant fear of arrest .

The big question mark is how will the Obama administration react to such a fait accompli that flies in the face of the new President’s stated policies. Will Obama try to make an example out of Israel and harshly punish it – or will he merely verbally lash it and proceed with business as usual?

Keith Ellison is drawing criticism for calling attention to a book that critics say condones a left-leaning group using violence in clashes with white supremacists.

And they would have to reach a clear understanding on the kinds of coercive actions they would take in the event of further noncompliance from economic sanctions through, ultimately, the destruction by force of Iranian nuclear facilities. At the same time, the United States and Europe would have to draw red lines that Tehran could not cross.

“He was placed in a difficult position, albeit one in which his own actions placed him and nine other sailors in danger,” the investigating officer wrote. Left to his own devices, he emulated the poor leadership traits he witnessed firsthand within his own chain of command. “His deployment to the Fifth Fleet area of operations lacked any form of oversight and he lacked basic mentorship and development from his entire chain of command.8, 2017 photo, Uighur Muslim men stand in front of map showing the area claimed by Uighur separatists as “East Turkistan” marked in blue at a resettlement community in Kayseri in central Turkey. (AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici) As Uighurs flee a Chinese security crackdown in droves, they often end up caught in a tug-of-war between militant Uighur members of Syria-based Islamic groups and moderate leaders of the Uighur diaspora who plead with them to reject calls of jihad.

Ironically the humble
beginning of the same was initiated under the counsel of USA in
the early 1950’s as a part of the ‘Atoms for Peace’ program. This
was temporarily arrested after the Iranian revolution of 1979, but
resumed soon after without much Western assistance. The international community particularly USA, have created much
ado about the Iranian Nuclear Program.

But the broadband industry has promised that the internet experience for the public isn’t going to change. The push to eliminate net neutrality has stirred fears among consumer advocates, Democrats, many web companies and ordinary Americans afraid that the cable and phone giants will be able to control what people see and do online.

And Israel, which has long seen Iran as a serious threat, might decide to strike preemptively, as it did against Iraq in 1981. Tehran’s long-range missiles would put much of Europe within reach of a possible nuclear strike. Neighboring states might respond by acquiring deterrent capabilities of their own.

The military leader went on to claim that “Iranian Armed Forces are now at the highest level of preparedness” and that “only the dead body of the American troops realizes the power of the Islamic Revolution.

The likely reason why the Iranians are touting this achievement in the warhead is that we are dealing with independent Iranian development rather than an imported technology. Cluster warheads are no revolution in warfare. There are none of real importance. What are the strategic ramifications of this? A smaller version of these warheads can be mounted on the “Grad” rockets, which the Palestinians have had for some time.

Even as the restrictions were put in place, they 
blocked women’s rights activists
, victims of torture by the security services, and other human rights defenders from entering the United States and shattered the hopes of many others who saw the United States as a beacon of hope and freedom.

The missing equipment is capable of pyroprocessing, one technique for purifying uranium for use in nuclear warheads. The Iranian government admitted to pyroprocessing activities in January and then denied the same activities in March. Tehran also maintains a separate program to enrich uranium to the 20% level. The IAEA discovered equipment involved in that project at the Jabr Ibn Jayan Multipurpose Research Laboratory in Tehran, but the Iranian regime has since moved the equipment to a secret location.

“Because of terror organizations, Afghanistan is destroyed completely,” says Adil, a bearded 50-year-old who speaks with the moral authority of a man who spent 14 years in Chinese prison for publishing criticisms of the Communist Party.

He referred to a country called “Nambia,” which doesn’t exist. He reportedly mocked Nigeria, one of Africa’s largest economies, by saying its people wouldn’t return to their “huts” once they saw the U. As key ambassador posts in South Africa, Egypt, Congo and elsewhere stayed vacant, Trump’s rare mentions of Africa signaled a lack of interest or outright ignorance.

These weapons are allegedly shipped into Afghanistan through the common border between Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Journal reported. Abdullah claimed that the Taliban were receiving weapons such as 82mm mortars, light machine guns, AK-47 rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and materials for making roadside bombs from Iran.

Nuclear weapon is one of the most hottest issues of current affairs. It is in common to say about these two cases, which happened in different times: Saddam Hussein and Iraq at the moment and Adolf Hitler and Germany in 1930s. Which Russia will install nuclear fuel rods in Iran’s nuclear reactor raises concerns from Isarel and all international community about the potential war. Both express the destructions of dictators and disobidience of the disarming agreements signed after losing a war (the UN resolutions and the Versailles Treaty in details).

The resolution, which reaffirmed the commitment of the United Nations to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, imposed a regime of weak sanctions against Iran for its refusal to stop the enrichment of uranium, a critical component of any nuclear weapons program. With the passing of U. Security Council Resolution 1737 on December 23, the world moved ever closer to an all-out war in the Middle East.

One of the options currently under discussion with Gulf states is how to remove al Qaeda elements from the city of Seyoun in the Hadramawt region, which could be a possible base for the government’s administration.Some 40 Muslim-majority nations met in Riyadh at the end of November to begin fleshing it out details of the alliance first conceived two years by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but that until now has yet to take any decisive international action in its mandate to fight terrorism.

The Iranian leadership, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and chief nuclear negotiator Ari Larijani, have repeatedly stated that Iran will never give up its right to nuclear technology. Negotiations have thus far yielded no progress, with Iran rejecting very attractive incentives packages from the European Union and the west, and with any additional offers such as normalized diplomatic or economic relations likely to be rejected as well. In dealing with Iran, there are simply no good options available.

It is appropriate for the U. administration to have shifted its strategy to one of reviewing its relations with China and Russia, on the basis of its level-headed recognition of the present state of affairs and in the form of protecting the national interests of the United States and the U.

Theglobalistfunded main stream media have recently increased reporting of the propaganda led by the American and Israeli governments about the upcoming war against Iran. Sadly, its the 75 million innocent civilians of Iran who will suffer the most from the conflict. The rhetoric and propaganda circulating the world about the upcoming attack on Iran is at an all-time high. A simple Google News search for Israel Iran war will produce over 3,700 results. The proponents of theNew World Orderhave been working tirelessly to ensure that the Israel / American coalition attack Iran sooner rather than later.

Neither task force had a sense of ownership of the boats, officials said. Neither Moses, nor the commander of Task Force 56. 7 in Bahrain, nor the Kuwait detachment officer-in-charge, understood the poor condition of the riverine command boats, neither of which was fully operational, the investigation found.

“We will be hosting a meeting of this new group to coordinate this military support to those (G5) countries,” Jubeir said, referring to a meeting the Islamic Alliance, adding that Riyadh would also provide humanitarian assistance.

Iran would now possess 1,227 kilograms of enriched uranium after the peace deal, more than the 1,000 kilograms required to power a nuclear warhead. Now that Iran has enough enriched uranium for a “spare” nuclear weapon, they are now offering to complete the deal with the IAEA.

The Dow has made a rapid trip from 24,000 points on November 30, partly on enthusiasm over passage of the Republican-backed tax package, which could boost company profits this year with across-the-board cuts to corporate taxes.

About 20 burly Uighurs were already there, greeting the refugees as they trickled out. They were recruiters for Islamic militant groups. As he approached the terminal, his heart sank. Qari, a Uighur emigre and community worker, planned to take the newcomers back to the city of Kayseri, where the Turkish government had set aside empty apartments for their resettlement.

The official declined to confirm a report in la Repubblica newspaper that some 470 men would be sent to Niger to help with both training and surveillance, saying full details of the operation had not yet been finalised.

officials, Iran — a Shiite powerhouse currently engaged in proxy and direct wars with several Sunni states and groups — is now providing weapons, ammunition and funds to the Taliban. According to
 a report by the Wall Street Journal, which cited Afghan and U.

But, as I stated earlier, a preemptive strike against the Nazis would have prevented the Holocaust and WWII. Another factor that needs to be taken into consideration at this time is that we now live in a different world than we used to. Back then international law was on the side of the Allies because Germany had not respected the Versailles Treaty and rearmed itself: a few years ago we had exactly the same situation with Iraq and the UN Security Council resolutions. Many people argue that it’s not in the tradition of the US to preemptively attack another country, which is true.

Iran does not have enough indigenous uranium resources to fuel even one power-generating reactor over its lifetime, but it does have enough uranium to make several nuclear bombs. Iran insists that it is pursuing nuclear technology for peaceful energy purposes, but that leads to the obvious question: why would a nation with immense oil and gas reserves need nuclear energy? Iran claims that under Article 4 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty they have the right to develop nuclear technology. Iran controls 11 percent of the world’s oil reserves and its natural gas reserves are the second largest in the world. Iran claims it is building costly nuclear fuel-cycle facilities to meet future electricity needs, while preserving oil and gas for export, but Iran’s uranium reserves are minuscule, accounting for less than one percent of its vast oil reserves.The two Russian ships docked in Iran’s Anzali port on Sunday and will hold “joint naval exercises during the three-day stay of the warships in Iran,” according to a Persian-language report in Iran’s state-controlled Fars News Agency.

While the resolution was a largely symbolic effort that did little more than present a seemingly unified Security Council response, the real effect of the measure was the removal of a major diplomatic hurdle to the use of force to stop or delay Iran’s nuclear progress.

This is an Israeli development funded by the USA, which according to different publications has a remarkable statistical accuracy of 90% hitting targeted missiles. However, Israel has an answer to the Shahab 2: The Arrow Interceptor missile. When confronting a missile bearing a nuclear warhead even 90% is not enough, but tactically, it is sufficient.

In this regard, many experts believe this close collaboration to steer Iran away from its nuclear weapons program may pay off. 24, 2004 article from the International Herald Tribune lays out this argument well and succinctly:

Obama justifiably took a lot of heat for his reluctance to embrace Iran’s protestors, including from activists themselves, and over time many of 
his own officials
 
came to see Washington’s stance as a moral and tactical blunder.

Turkey has been a main backer of the opposition groups and rebels trying to remove Syrian President Bashar Assad from power while Russia and Iran have been among his main backers. The three countries have teamed up to help mediate a peace settlement for Syria’s conflict, now in its seventh year, which has claimed the lives of 400,000 and caused the worst refugee crisis since World War II.

It is home to beautiful Masjid-E-Jumeh which was built in mid eighth century. Dizin ski resort situated within the mountain range of Alborz is the popular ski resort in Iran. Estefan is one of the oldest cities in Iran. It has excellent snow and is visited by many skiers. Persepolis is known for its monumental ruins, the palace was constructed on a huge half-artificial and half-natural terrace using Mesopotamian models. The beauty and geometric accuracy of the dome of this mosque is famous. This ski resort has become one of the major Iran tourist destinations.

Adil Abdulghupur, a scruffy self-trained poet and religious scholar in Istanbul, saw his Uighur friends, acquaintances and former jail mates cross the Wakhan Corridor into Afghanistan in the ’80s hoping to find allies for Xinjiang’s eventual liberation. In frequent lectures to younger Uighurs, he recalls who they pledged allegiance to anti-Soviet mujahideen and later the Taliban and al Qaida but accomplished little except give the Chinese government reason to crack down on Uighurs. 10, 2017 photo, Adil Abdulghupur, a self-trained poet and religious scholar, speaks at a mosque in Istanbul.

Trade flourished in Tabriz during the 16th century under the Safavid dynasty. Although the city no longer remained the capital in the 16th century, yet the market retained its importance. There was a lot of buying and selling of goods in Tabriz bazaar during this time when the city was the capital of the Safavids.

Only portions of it’s nuclear program have been revealed to the IAEA and Iran has been caught lying to the agency on several occasions. Iran has refused to stop enrichment activities and continues to enrich fuel for use in developing nuclear weapons.

Tehran’s compliance would lead to the economic and technology cooperation that European leaders promised last fall. They have to agree on a clear set of benchmarks and deadlines for Iran to give up its enrichment and reprocessing capabilities. Next, the United States and Europe should agree on a common strategy that combines Europe’s preference for carrots with America’s preference for sticks.

No comparable oil-rich nation has ever engaged, or would be engaged, in this set of activities – or would pursue them for nearly two decades behind a continuing cloud of secrecy and lies to IAEA inspectors and the international community – unless it was dead set on building nuclear weapons. The costly infrastructure needed to perform all of these activities goes well beyond any conceivable peaceful nuclear program. State Department on Iran’s nuclear program: ”. According to a report by the U.

The United States could opt for air strikes, with either limited attacks on critical facilities such as Bushehr and Natanz, or a more comprehensive set of strikes against many of Iran’s known and suspected nuclear sites. Any attack, though, would require complete surprise, so there would probably be no indication of an impending strike or bellicose rhetoric from Washington. Any sort of ground invasion involving U. forces is highly improbable, with major ongoing American troop commitments to the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. An attack against Iranian nuclear facilities would likely be carried out by the United States, with possibly an assist from our British allies.Trump can claim credit for the virtual defeat of the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria on his watch. He largely continued Obama’s anti-IS strategy and intensified it. troop levels were increased in both countries, coalition commanders got more authority to call airstrikes and operations focused on killing more militants rather than allowing their escape, according to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

Lavrentyev added that the full list of participants will be completed after talks with Turkey and Iran. “We have tried to have the Kurds broadly represented but also make sure that it doesn’t annoy our Turkish colleagues,” he said, according to Interfax.

In frequent lectures to younger Uighurs, he recalls how they pledged allegiance to anti-Soviet mujahideen and later the Taliban and al-Qaida but accomplished little except give the Chinese government reason to crack down on Uighurs.

They personally know at least 30 who died on the battlefield. By Damolla’s count, they’ve talked 400 people out of going to Syria and convinced dozens to come back. Whenever Uighur refugee families, often poorly educated or illiterate, arrive in Istanbul, Adil and Damolla sit with them to explain what’s happening in Syria.

BAGHDAD; AND KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
—
With opulent furnishings and the finest cut-crystal water glasses in Baghdad, the new offices of the Iranian-backed Shiite militia exude money and power – exactly as they are meant to. At one end of the meeting room is a set built for TV interviews, with gilded chairs and an official-looking backdrop of Iraqi and militia flags, lit by an ornate glass chandelier.

Oil production in the United States of America has been in decline since the early 80s Oil production is reducing in Americaand security of oil supplies for Americans and Israelis is more uncertain than ever before.

The futility of continued negotiations and the minimal effectiveness of U. But is a military strike a realistic possibility, and what are the potential consequences of preemptive action? sanctions make the use of force a much more likely option.

On the ground, the systematic deployment of mostly Shiite Afghans is emblematic of Iran’s tactics. The recruits often agree to fight out of a desire to work and shared religious values. A Monitor investigation found that Iran offered members of the Fatemioun Brigade, a unit made up of several thousand Afghan migrants, as much as $700 a month, plus Iranian citizenship, houses, and long-term family support and education, if they took up arms.

ISIS, which currently controls regions in Syria and Iraq, has the potential to unite splintered militant groups in Afghanistan under a common banner, Nicholas Haysom, the U. “Iran seeks to counter Daesh [ISIS] with the Taliban,” an unnamed Afghan security official told the Journal. envoy to Afghanistan, warned
 in March.

US forces ousted the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001, and toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam in 2003 – both strategic enemies on Iran’s flanks. Ironically, the first steps of Iran’s ascendancy came as a result of American actions. But it has been Iran’s own moves since 2011, in combination with the stepped-up dedication of its allies – especially Russia – and lack of devotion of its enemies, that have resulted in Iran’s new regional status.

“Because of our commitment to fighting terrorism and extremism we made the commitment to provide 100 million euros to these forces and we made this commitment also to provide logistics, training, intelligence and air support through the Islamic military coalition to this effort,” Jubeir said.

Military experts have taken particular interest in Iran’s test of a high-speed underwater missile. Speaking on state television, a high-ranking Iranian military commander said the missile has been in development for six years, and ”even if an enemy warship’s sonar can detect the missile, no warship can escape from this missile because of its high speed. Iran claims the missile is capable of carrying multiple warheads at speeds of up to 225 mph.

What the US did with Iraq back in 1991 was to merely push Hussein to the side by telling him not to bother the little kids anymore. The trouble is-and this is were the similarity with the 1930s situation is still pertinent-that there were back then and in 2003 treaties that were signed to ensure the bully remained contained, and that went unenforced in both in the 1930s and in 1990s, with the consequence that Hitler rearmed Germany and launched WWII and the Holocaust, and not too long ago Hussein continued to rearm Iraq, and today we have a fanatical, delusional regime in Iran pursuing nuclear weapons.Among them, the Sadeqiyeh school is very famous. Tabriz Bazaar is also known for the many mosques which have been built at the back of the market. Along with mosques, there are also many schools and caravansaries in this complex. Jame Mosque is known for its beauty and excellent architecture and is a prominent part of the buildings in this place. Many reconstructions were made under the Zand rulers and the architecture today is reminiscent of the times, which is evident when you visit Iran.

“For a long while in 2017 I would say the biggest driver was excitement and anticipation over tax reform, but at a certain point I think there was a handover to global economic growth really helping to carry the stock market,” said Invesco Chief Global Markets Strategist Kristina Hooper.

Also, they have been carrying out
surreptitious dealings with AQ Khan, the father of the Pakistani
Nuclear Program. The UNSC sanctions have not deterred the Iranian regime from
their nuclear agenda. The main reason for international distrust
about Iranian intentions is because of the fact that they have concealed
the program in the past. Their inclusion to the select N-Club has stirred
the ambition of other Gulf countries (who decided to take the safer
route and approached the IAEA in Vienna).

“We’re witnessing a new great game, and Obama is so self-centered he keeps playing solitaire,” Rubin said. What he sees as compromise; they see as weakness to exploit. “Obama simply doesn’t understand that the world is full of dictators who seek to checkmate America.

Russian news reports cited Kazakh diplomat Aidarbek Tumanov who said that during Friday’s meeting in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana, the parties agreed to hold the so-called Congress for National Dialogue in Sochi on Jan.

Qasim Soleimani, the vaunted commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Qods Force, reportedly flew to Moscow in mid-2015 and persuaded the Kremlin to weigh in with air power, a crucial factor in helping tilt the balance of the war. Aside from sending hundreds of its own advisers to Syria, Iran helped persuade Hezbollah to fight in the country soon after an Arab Spring uprising began in 2011. Tehran deployed Shiite units from Iraq, raised a pro-Assad militia, and later recruited Afghans and Pakistanis to fight in Syria as mercenaries.

The House bill picked up six Democrats, but lost 14 fellow Republicans. The GOP enjoys a two-seat advantage over the Democrats, but defections on both sides are inevitable if the House vote experience applies. NRA muscle prevailed in the House and likely will be flexed mightily when the bill gets to the Senate, where it will need 60 votes to become law.

You can also visit Soltaniyeh which is home to mausoleum of Oljaytu. This palace was built during reign of Safavid dynasty. The major attractions are the Peacock Throne studded with gems and the illuminated manuscripts. Iran tourist destinations portray Iran as a country of great monumental sites with an interesting history. This historic site used to be the capital of Ilkhanid dynasty. One of Iran’s oldest buildings, the Palace of Roses is basically a museum which displays many artifacts and is frequently visited by many tourists. Chabahar beaches are famous for water sports and recreation, and also the Oman Sea with presence of various minerals in the water is considered good for the human body. The precision of Iranians in mathematics and calculation in engineering, made them able to build such a masterpiece of architecture.

The fact that Saddam Hussein used chemical
weaponry to win the Iran-Iraq war, where Iran clearly had a
geographic advantage is still fresh in their minds. This could be a
reason for Iran to acquire ammunitions, as countries across the
globe were indifferent to its loss. If these are intended for military
causes, it heralds war and an age of nuclear arms race, not limited
only to the Gulf. This hasn’t gone down well with N-powers, who want to curtail
horizontal proliferation, while not checking their own vertical
proliferation.

Israel has decided to go ahead. Advance teams comprised of Mossad agents and military personnel are already on the ground in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq (including in the Kurdish lands, adjacent to Turkey). Taking into account political, geopolitical, military preparedness, and climatic conditions, there are two windows: between July 21 and 24 and between August 6 and 8.

It is impossible to anticipate how events will evolve inside Iran. The country’s top officials have 
acknowledged
 
widespread dissatisfaction while also warning against disorder, blocking key communications tools, and mobilizing mass arrests of demonstrators.

A mock has been erected not far from Eilat (near the Red Sea, opposite Aqaba). A defunct airbase in Biq’at Ha’Yareach (Moon Vale) has been resurrected to accommodate Air Wing 10. In a country as small and intimate as Israel, it is amazing that this has been kept a secret: hundreds of recruits and reservists – from mechanics and pilots to cooks and administrators – have been re-stationed there in the last few months.Sessions’ action, just three days after a legalization law went into effect in California, threatened the future of the young industry, created confusion in states where the drug is legal and outraged both marijuana advocates and some members of Congress, including Sessions’ fellow Republicans. Many conservatives are wary of what they see as federal intrusion in areas they believe must be left to the states.

It is not enough that Tehran sign on to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, as it has done. To prevent such a dangerous spiral, Iran’s nuclear weapons development must be halted. Nor is it sufficient only to allow additional inspections by the IAEA.

(AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici) 8, 2017 photo, Uighur women immigrants from China meet at a resettlement community in Kayseri in central Turkey. As Uighurs flee a Chinese security crackdown in droves, they often end up caught in a tug-of-war between militant Uighur members of Syria-based Islamic groups and moderate leaders of the Uighur diaspora who plead with them to reject calls of jihad.

The Kremlin said that President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone on Friday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss the situation in Syria and the Sochi talks, adding that the leaders noted the importance of cooperation between Moscow and Ankara for “achieving a stable political settlement.

Nikolai Patrushev then went on to say It cannot be ruled out that the Iranians will be able to carry out their threat to shut exports of Saudi oil through the Strait of Hormuz if faced with military actions against them. PRESSURES FROM ABROADThe Russians are beginning to play a pivotal role in this saga. Recently, the head of Kremlin Security Nikolai Patrushev was quoted as saying, There is a likelihood of military escalation of the conflict, towards which Israel is pushing the Americans. As we speak, it is the perception of the Russian Government that an attack is imminent.

Syrian senior opposition official Ahmad Toma said in Astana that he will not make a unilateral decision on whether the opposition will attend next month’s conference in Sochi or not, adding that he will have to raise the matter with opposition and rebel leaders in Syria.

Recently, a top Chinese diplomat,Chen Xiaodong, said war over the Iranian nuclear issue would bring disaster to the world economy and urged all nations involved to exercise restraint and prevent hostilities. He also then went on to say that, We urge all relevant nations to remain calm, exercise restraint, refrain from taking actions that will intensify the situation and make common efforts to prevent war,. Everyone knows that 40% of the oil shipped daily to every part of the world goes through the Strait of Hormuz, so once war starts in this region not only will the relevant nations be affected and attacked, it would also bring disaster to a world economy deep in crisis. Another source of growing pressure is coming heavily from the Chinese Government.

Others have jumped into the policy fray to lobby for gun control or improved mental health care. In some cases, they have traveled the country, and even the world, as recognized experts in their fields, such as Jeremy Richman, a scientist whose Avielle Foundation for the study of brain health is named for his slain daughter.

using Afghan people like weapons against ISIS. Still, Iran’s presence in Afghanistan continues to anger Kabul. Afghan security forces have arrested 50 or 60 people working for Iran in the past year, and “we have a plan to arrest more and more,” says the source. ” Some of those arrested are Afghans with Iranian identity cards; others are Iranian intelligence agents, he claims.

“You cannot win a war against the Houthis from the air – you need to send ground forces in, but now there’s a program to train tribal fighters on the border,” said a Doha-based military source familiar with the matter.Unfortunately we are running out of time, and neither Israel nor the United States is willing to accept the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran. In 1981, Israel bombed Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor when it believed Saddam Hussein was close to producing a nuclear bomb. Will military action become our only option? If Israel does attack Iran it would undoubtedly bring about a firestorm in the Middle East. What happens if diplomacy continues to fail?

The shaky island government, spendthrift in the past, will have to convince Washington that it is reform-minded, as with the recent resignation of the head of the dysfunctional power authority. 4 billion in federal rebuilding aid, including $17. So far, about $5 billion has been approved by a Republican-dominated Congress far more preoccupied with cutting upper-bracket taxes than helping troubled Americans. 1 billion for housing. The island has requested $94. 8 billion to replace its power grid and $31.

The Ayatollah returned to Iran at the end of the Islamic Revolution, after having spent 14 years in exile. On April 1st, 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran was born under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini. This past month Iran commemorated these events by showcasing its military strength. It conducted a series of missile tests and large-scale military maneuvers involving tens of thousands of troops and over 1500 naval vessels.

On the outskirts of Kayseri in central Anatolia, the parched, rock-strewn hills resemble the southern swathes of the Uighur homeland in western China, but a fenced compound of five-story concrete towers represents Tumturk’s vision of Uighur freedom – and everything China is not.

A visit to Tehran could be a quite exhilarating experience. Big bazaars, modern buildings, wonderful restaurants, fast food centers, awesome bakeries, chic outlets, handicrafts, fashion houses, cinemas, four story apartments and amazing gardens with beautiful fountains are the main characteristics of the city. With so many attractions like the world renowned archaeological sites, ancient and cultural arts museums, beautiful castles, majestic palaces, great forts and historical houses, your visit to Tehran will surely be enriching and fascinating one.

The same women, having proven their loyalty by voting 98 percent for Jones, now wonder whether the Democratic Party will return the favor by sharing some of the party’s political power, handing over places at the negotiating table and pushing legislation that speaks to their unique issues.

The Russian government would be infuriated about an attack on its financial investment in Iran’s nuclear program, and would provide covert and possibly overt support for Iranian actions that would create problems for the United States in the region as the conflict quickly spiraled out of control. Iran would no doubt promote more violence in neighboring Iraq, especially among the Shia in the south, and could use proxy Hezbollah to launch attacks against Israeli military and civilian targets, forcing an Israeli response that could prompt Syrian intervention and Muslim outrage, both at Israel’s involvement and what would be perceived as yet another U. Nations friendly to, or at least tolerant of the United States, would find it difficult not to alienate the United States while appeasing populations supportive of their fellow Muslims. attack on Islam, throughout the entire Middle East.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced the plan, saying that responsible development of offshore energy resources would boost jobs and economic security while providing billions of dollars to fund conservation along U.

The globalists are gearing us all up for another unnecessary warand we are helpless in doing anything to stop this non-sense. FINAL SAYThe evidence of another war in the middle-east is becoming stronger and stronger. Although we must concede that there is little we can do to prevent this war, if we keep up the fight and remind our elected officials that they are meant to represent our wishes, than maybe one day there wont be another unnecessary war like the ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pressure from the globalists to introduce global government and theNew World Orderwill be a direct consequence of this war.

With their professional support, every customer will navigate international and national markets, in a cost effective manner. They boast about helping out a lot of customers and business partners.

Taking into account their powerful Iran Costum Clearance and Chabahar Business techniques, they have become unique among their competitors.’s own Geneva program has been supplemented by the “technical” talks in Astana brokered by Russia, Iran and Turkey. The Sochi talks will open up a fourth track of talks between parties to the complex conflict in Syria.

In the end, the consequences of a military strike against Iran probably outweigh any benefits to be gained by delaying the Islamic Republic’s progress toward a nuclear weapon capability. The risk of a Middle East war means the United States and Europe may have no other option but to accept the reality that Iran will one day join the club of nuclear powered nations, knowing that the massive arsenals of the west will likely prevent an Iranian first-strike against Israel or any other nation. Such an act by Iran would be an invitation to the west to retaliate in a manner that would guarantee the demise of the Iranian regime.

It is a very old bazaar and is well known for its wide range of goods in the Middle East. Located on the famous Silk Road, it has been an important center for trading since time immemorial. Tabriz bazaar is known to be the largest covered market in the world. UNESCO has declared it a World Heritage Site just recently in July 2010.

So far, Tehran has not offered any evidence to support that claim, though Iran’s opponents throughout the Middle East and elsewhere are looking on at the demonstrations with hope they’ll force changes in its theocratic government.

It would be really stupid of Ahmadinejad to trigger a direct confrontation with military powers like Israel or the US, which he hates with a passion. Either of them can destroy Iran’s military and infrastructure if they are compelled to do so. It is a much better strategy for him to use proxies that hate Israel and the US as much (or more) than he does, proxies that (as opposed to himself) are willing to die to kill the infidel.

“They will be providing border security through professionally securing checkpoints and conducting counter-IED operations,” the coalition told
Reuters, adding that coalition and SDF forces were still engaging remaining ISIS fighters in Deir al-Zor province.

The maneuver is a follow-up to the “Great Prophet” drill, which ran during April. According to Yahya Rahim Safavi, Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Guards, the drill will involve maneuvers on land, sea and air, in the desert near the city of Qom, in the Persian Gulf and on the Sea of Oman. Last week, Iran began another military maneuver, dubbed “Greatest Prophet”.

The deeply divided country is more concerned about health care and the economy than any collusion with the Kremlin, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. But the survey also shows that Americans are unhappy with the way Trump is dealing with the investigations led by Congress and special counsel Robert Mueller.

And if you dont believe me, well we all know that the United Nations was conceived out of the horrors of world war two to replace the so-called League of Nations. his world economic disaster that Chen Xiaodong is speaking about is exactly what the globalists are seeking to introduce the New World Order.

In a classroom next to a basketball court, young Uighur boys take Quranic lessons that are forbidden for children in China. Girls in a separate building are taught by women wearing conservative niqab face veils banned back home. Uighur, a Turkic language often written in a modified Arabic script, is freely taught here at a time when Chinese schools in Xinjiang are increasingly enforcing Mandarin-only education.

However, France, which has 4,500 troops in the region, has been dismayed to see the militants score military and symbolic victories in West Africa while the G5 force has struggled to win financing and become operational.

Cory Gardner, who represents Colorado, one of eight states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use, said the change contradicts a pledge Sessions made to him before being confirmed as attorney general. Another Republican senator, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, called the announcement “disruptive” and “regrettable. Gardner promised to push legislation to protect marijuana sales, saying he was prepared “to take all steps necessary” to fight the change, including holding up the confirmation of Justice Department nominees.

One credible theory for why Israel and America are preparing to attack Iran is being attributed to a shift in control and demand for oil. WHY AN ATTACK IS IMMINENTMany questions are being asked aboutwhy Israel and America are preparing for an attack on Iran.

Each of the men faces five terrorism-related charges, and not guilty pleas have been entered on their behalf. The two men were arrested in April 2013, and police at the time said the plot was backed by al Qaeda.

Russia and Iran agreed
earlier this year to begin construction on several new nuclear power plants. Russia has also agreed
to sell Iran a controversial advanced missile defense system that can prevent attacks by Western powers.These forces fought against Saddam during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, and took part in a failed Shiite uprising in Iraq in 1991. Iran’s use of proxy forces in Iraq stretches back to 1982. Today some of the most pro-Iran militias in Iraq trace their lineage to Tehran’s support for anti-Saddam groups. That was the year Tehran formed the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq and its 10,000-strong Badr Brigade militia.

They say paradise is right in front of you, in Syria. Tumturk says keeping people from leaving is an uphill battle. “We promise that you’ll have a voice as a Uighur here, that you’ll be a free man. But that’s not as attractive if they promise you money, a house.

It’s very different when an aggressive country can wage war against another country by sending someone with a box filled with anthrax and drop it in some water reservoir, or open a canister of VX gas into the air conditioning system of any building, or carry a dirty bomb in a suitcase and detonate it in a city’s crowded downtown area. But there’s an even more important factor: in the past an aggressive country could wage war against other nations, and that meant sending tanks over the border.

Like in Japan Kelly Blue and NADA books were the great sources for formulating the values of cars. In Iran there are not such guides available
to help estimating the value of cars for dealers. However, the method of Kelly Blue and NADA is now outdated in Japan as well.

Some of these are taking place at nighttime. On the contrary: exercises have been stepped up, live ammunition and all. Are the Israelis going to attack during the night? Out of courtesy, Netanyahu decided to postpone any military action until after the visit of Gates, the US Defense Secretary at the end of July. But they are sure going to use the cover of the dark to try to rescue pilots shot down over hostile territory and to extract trapped warriors. But this should not be construed as an abandonment of the martial option. This means that they will attack in the afternoon, at around 2 or 3 PM.

The only issue remains to be seen is whether the west waits for
Iran to assemble the nukes and strike first or the western powers
including Israel launch an anticipatory strike on Iran followed by a
punishing strike on Russia and China who by their proliferation
activities have helped the fundamentalist Islamic regimes like Iran
and Pakistan gain access to fission material and weapons of mass
destruction aimed at annihilating the western civilization.

It is a spy satellite of rather paltry capabilities. The Iranians currently operate the satellite Sina-1, which was launched from Russian soil on October 2005. In fact, this satellite was supposed to be the companion of another satellite, “Mesbah”, which was destroyed during its launch.But nearly three months after Trump’s decision to “decertify” Iran’s compliance with its obligations under the 2015 nuclear deal, the abrupt escalation of the country’s long-standing economic, social, and political grievances has shifted the administration’s focus on how to respond to the upheaval.

In return, Israeli sources claim that Israel has shared with the Russian visitors intelligence, including hard to obtain HUMINT, about the Iranian leadership, its oil economy, and military. The Americans were apprised of the discussions. Israel may be asking Russia to leverage its growing influence within Iran to rein in the latter’s nuclear weapons agenda. The discussions focused on Iran and their contents are only partly known. Russian senior air defense officers, accompanied by mid-level diplomats have recently visited Israel. Israel asked Russia not to supply Iran with strategic air defense systems “in the next 3 months” (presumably, until after Israel’s aerial bombardment on Iranian facilities). Russia remained non-committal, “noting” Israel’s concerns.

Obama’s reticence in 2009 also reflected his determination to engage Iran’s leadership in a dialogue over the nuclear crisis. In the weeks after the initial unrest in Iran, the two sides began exploring a fuel swap that briefly heralded a diplomatic opening on the issue, but would soon collapse, at least in part as a result of the unrest.

As Uighurs flee a Chinese security crackdown in droves, they often end up caught in a tug-of-war between militant Uighur members of Syria-based Islamic groups and moderate leaders of the Uighur diaspora who plead with them to reject calls of jihad. 7, 2017 photo, a Uighur child immigrant sleeps in a resettlement community in Kayseri in central Turkey.

Because of his speeches around the neighborhood to steer Uighur arrivals from Syrian militants, Adil has been pushed around by muscle-bound young Islamic militants outside mosques and intimidated.

One of the men, Tunisian Chiheb Esseghaier, told the undercover officer that he had met with “mujahideen” in Iran and had a plan in place with a “Palestinian brother,” a reference to the second defendant, Raed Jaser, the court heard. Mujahideen are radical Islamist guerilla fighters.

Another aspect of the Shahab 3, which was highlighted in the test, was its dividing warhead. This is a warhead intended to carry nuclear and chemical payloads, and is of no use for delivering conventional payloads. The warhead divides three times: first when the warhead splits off from the body of the missile; second, when an altitude fuse removes the envelope of the warhead; third when an additional altitude fuse triggers the payload of the missile, which can be either nuclear or chemical. According to American experts, such a warhead is a perfect fit for a nuclear bomb developed by Pakistani military industries.

The investigator found some volunteered pieces of information apart from name, rank and serial number, including the top speed of the riverine boats and the fact that the parent command owned a third boat. And while detained, the crews showed some confusion about what they were permitted to say. The sailors’ comment about telling their command the boats couldn’t make the journey demonstrated lack of trust in their chain of command to the detaining forces, the investigator said, and could have been used for propaganda purposes.

This uranium is currently enriched to the 3 to 3. This is enough uranium to power two nuclear warheads. A report by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) shows that Iran now possesses 2,427 kilograms of enriched uranium.

The Russians havepubliclystated that the International Atomic Energy Agencys reports from its inspectors that indicate that there is no evidence that Iran has diverted any enriched uranium from its nuclear energy program is still valid. The Russians have also been very sceptical about the United States Government assertion that Iran has developed nuclear weapons, and therefore the threat from Iran is a simple false-flag and nothing else.

Israel is unwilling to accept a nuclear Iran: “It is not an option”, say its senior intelligence and military leadership. Late last year, Israel embarked on a coordinated campaign of leaks to the press regarding its determination to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities if Obama’s then-new administration fails to sway the Iranians diplomatically.In an apparent concession to Turkey, Lavrentyev said that the Kurdish Democratic Union Party, or PYD, wouldn’t be invited to take part in the Sochi talks, but that “quite a few” Kurdish representatives will attend.

Hopefully, Iran will bend somewhat in order to make it easier for women to end their marriage, which currently can be difficult even with the assistance of a divorce lawyer. It is generally understood that men in Iran can have their marriages over very quickly if they wish, but women must give reasons and then have those reasons accepted by a court. In order to make it go faster, some Iranian women will forgo some of the money that they would receive in the event of a divorce to their husbands so that he can do move the process along faster.

“As for the United States, rather than the leader of the free world, Obama and Kerry have transformed us in much of the world’s eyes as the pinnacle of surrender. “The Russian warship visit combined with North Korea scoping out war game sites in Russia suggest a new Axis of Evil is taking shape with Russia the lynchpin between Iran and North Korea,” Rubin said.

World powers that joined the U. The Obama-era deal rolled back Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions in sanctions relief, but did not address Iran’s missile-building or support for militant groups in the Middle East. in brokering that deal have voiced frustration at Trump’s moves to “decertify” Iran’s compliance with the deal as a prelude to renegotiating it.

For a divorce lawyer looking at this from afar, it is easy to conclude that the same reasons that the rate of marriages ending in Iran is the same transformation that occurred in the United States. That is, greater social liberalization and acceptance of divorce, and changing economic realities. This may be particularly true for women, as their society may also be experiencing something similar to the womens liberation that the United States went through in the 20th century.

Overall, the conflict has left as many as 470,000 dead and displaced more than half of Syria’s prewar population of 22 million.

Throw in a Democratic sweep in the U. Another problem for Israel is that the Olmert government is weak. The recent war with Hezbollah undermined the Israeli government’s credibility with its population after the militant group fought the IDF to a stalemate, thousands of rockets were fired causing multiple civilian and military casualties, and Israel failed to achieve any strategic or tactical gains. midterm elections, followed by the firing of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and Olmert becomes increasingly isolated as his most ardent supporters in Washington fall to the wayside. Olmert is hanging on, but he is vulnerable.

The reality for Israel is that the United Nations, based on historical performance, will probably not be able to accomplish anything meaningful in the confrontation with Iran. Member nations must work together on this issue, and not independently based on what economic interests they may have with Iran. At least not until it gets its act together. Unless that happens, further deliberations in the Security Council are a wasted effort.

Russian and Iran have grown close in recent years, with delegations from each country regularly visiting one another to ink arms deals
and other agreements aimed at strengthening Iran’s nuclear program.

The UN Security Council has demanded that Iran halt its uranium enrichment activities, but so far Tehran has refused.

Whether used to twist or reveal, language matters, especially that used by the people who govern a nation devoted to free speech.

The Iranian President has made his wishes known, and he is daring the global community to stop him. The United Nations has been “negotiating” the Iranian nuclear issue for the better part of a year now, with no tangible results. And, the Israelis rightly believe they cannot rely on the world’s powers to protect their state. The Security Council passed a resolution demanding that Iran cease its enrichment of uranium, and then stood idly by as the deadline for compliance slipped away while France, Russia, and China sought more negotiations and downplayed the possibility of economic sanctions. The statements from Ahmadinejad give Israelis good reason to worry.

Iran has been toying with an IAEA offer to export 1,200 kilograms of enriched uranium to Russia in exchange for processed fuel for Iran’s research reactor.

“Most importantly, the United States and Israel can declare with one voice that Iran must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon – never, ever – and must cease its deadly funding, training and equipping of terrorists and militias, and it must cease immediately,” Trump said in public remarks at a meeting in Jerusalem with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin.

On April 3, the London Times printed an article headlined, “Only Obama can save Iran from Israeli bombs”, citing the hawkish Netanyahu government in Israel. But time is running out. This could become Obama’s biggest challenge as he assumes the mantle of keeper of the peace Israel will not attack Iran without tacit approval from America – we hope.

It is doubtful that the United States would grant such approval, for to do so would be to unleash instability and conflict throughout the region at a time when American forces are heavily engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, given the current state of affairs in the Middle East, any preemptive Israeli military action against Iran would presumably have to have prior U. The consequences of a military strike are just too severe for it to be otherwise. Israel has had a relatively free hand to act in the past.

These two countries are considered moderate Middle-Eastern states and play host to many large American bases. Not only Israel is in range. All of Turkey is threatened, as well as a large part of Saudi Arabia.

Make no mistake about it, though. Israel will no longer be the region’s sole nuclear state and will have to accept that the fundamental balance of power in the Middle East has shifted. But the reality is that of all the options facing the United States and the west, the acceptance of a nuclear-armed Iran is the one fraught with the fewest perils. A nuclear-armed Iran will be emboldened in its quest to become a regional, and ultimately global power, and will take advantage of every opportunity to challenge U. None of this bodes well for a long-suffering region desperately in need of peace and stability. interests in the Middle East.

The changing views of divorce show the concerns that even this deeply religious country is now further embracing Western culture and patterns, including non-lasting marriages.

Due to the changing societal views on marriage, the Iranian government has outlawed divorce on this day of commemoration in order to grant a reprieve to the escalating rate of family breakups.

If the Iranian elections are rigged and the current regime has stolen that country from its people, then we are looking at a disaster on the horizon or another temporary Sun. When will the US citizenry wake up and realize that Iran is moving forward with their plans and promises to eliminate their arch rivals. Am I to be censored too for asking this question, as a US citizen?

Millions of us Iranians living outside Iran are praying for a better life in Iran every day. Our everyday life is dependent on what is happening, at least for most of us. However our prayers are different that what is going on inside our home country. You can hear all that bad news to a certain degree.

Above all, Iraq launched the war in an effort to consolidate its rising power in the Arab world and to replace Iran as the dominant Persian Gulf state. The Iran-Iraq war, the war between two regional powers, began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980 following a long history of border disputes and fears of Shia insurgency. The Iran-Iraq war lasted in August 1988, nearly eight years of conflicting.

May change be possible and doable. All along feeling that change in Iran is possible could help to increase our hope, our sense of belonging to our roots, and the optimism for a better Iranian life in future for us and for our significant ones.

Members of Sayeret Matka”l are now conducting joint (often nightly) exerciseswith Israel’s NavySEALS (the “Shayetet”) off the coast of Ashkelon and on the beaches of Haifa. While the deployment ofthe commandos and other ground forces will be done mostly by air, their evacuation, 4-6 hours later,will be accomplished by sea. The targets for Israel’s attack on Iran have been chosen: one is close to the sea, the other is inland.

For it’s part, the IAEA “remains concerned about the possible existence in Iran of past or current undisclosed nuclear related activities, involving military related organizations, including activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile.

Though it has not been a secret hitherto, it has hardly been trumpeted. The navy’s role is support the mission with sea-launched precision cruise missiles (of Israeli manufacture). In general, Israel is trying to minimize the involvement of American materiel in its forthcoming foray into Iran. A few days later, Israel made the presence of its Navy in the Red Sea public. In my previous article, titled “Preparations for Attack in Iran Almost Complete” (dated July 10), I revealed the existence of the training mock near Eilat and Aqaba by the Red Sea.

Other theories suggest thatan attack on Iran is being used as a false-flagfor the upcoming introduction of the New World Order. Whats not so clear is that how will the globalists use the upcoming war in Iran to introduce the New World Order and under what guise will they use? Could it be under the guise of the United Nations or could there be bigger plans we are yet to hear about? There is no doubt now that thetragic events of 9/11 were used as a false-flagfor the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Other reports are proposing that an attack onIran is being used as a catalyst to drive up oil pricesto reduce oil consumption and globalemissionsof which is part of the globalist backed carbon tax agenda.According to research and surveys, Iran is the most restricted country in the world regarding free internet access.

Such agreement is needed to effectively deter Iranian violations and to keep the prospect of a diplomatic resolution open. The trans-Atlantic partners urgently need to coalesce around a long-term strategy for confronting Iran.

The reason behind this symbolic gesture — one reserved for displaying only the most grievous offence — was the publication of an article the day before against Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who would soon lead the country into an Islamic revolution.

The second reason is that the best way to deliver a nuclear bomb nowadays is via a ballistic missile. Based on the information gleaned from the drill, Israel and the rest of the world should pay attention to the ballistic arsenal on display. This is for two reasons: One, Iran does not have any important innovations to show in any other military areas. As Iran continues its progress towards such a bomb, the ballistic threat assumes a more dangerous coloration. The Iranian army is strong and well trained, but it uses technologies familiar to the West, so no surprises there.

It is needed for a second reason too: This dispute has all the makings of repeating the disastrous fissures that developed over Iraq, except this time Britain appears to be siding with its European partners against the United States. That would be tragic for many reasons, not least because in this particular case there is absolutely no difference between the two sides on the ultimate objective.

Listening to all these young people who participate in the BBC Persian debates, you hear how small possibilities are being viewed as half full of the glass. The most fascinating and remarkable things that has happened in our home country past 30 years of turbulence, is that our young people and the new generation are highly open minded.

In this path, they are eager to participate in the election with hope for having a new president better that the current one. This is amazing how these young females and males believe in challenging the current system despite all the odds to enable change. There is no doubt that Iranian women living inside Iran fight wholeheartedly for change in terms of women’s rights.

” Instead, Hariri returned to Beirut a couple of weeks later, greeted the Iranian ambassador among well-wishers, and suspended his resignation. Hariri, in his departure speech reportedly written by Saudi hands, said, “Wherever Iran settles, it sows discord, devastation and destruction, proven by its interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries. ” Iran’s hands “will be cut off.The Iranian officials were allegedly killed by the Taliban, which was then in complete control of the Afghan government. Shia-majority Iran and the Sunni militant group Taliban have long been foes and almost came to a full-blown war in 1998 when Iran deployed more than 70,000 troops along the Afghan border in response to the killing of its diplomats. A full-scale conflict in the region was prevented only after the United Nations intervened.

It also failed to assuage the inherent paranoia of the Iranian leadership, which denounced the uprising as a foreign conspiracy and even scorned Obama’s outreach as an insidious attempt to undermine the regime from within. Obama’s discretion around the uprising did little to insulate Iranian activists from the regime’s backlash.

Chief of Joints of Staff, to Israel to try to change Israels overly public aggression towards Iran. Political pressure between the Americans and Israel for an attack on Iran is at a critical point. In fact, the political pressure is so intense that the Obama administration is believed to be sending Martin Dempsey, U.

Obama will avoid the third war, gaining his objectives by diplomacy and soft power. Apparently, Obama has ruled out another costly war and will concentrate on the desperately needed domestic programs. Two unnecessary wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are two too many.

” Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, quoted on Haaretz. He has openly called for Israel’s destruction and wants desperately to rid the Middle East of its “Zionist occupiers. For starters, the Israelis have been directly threatened by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called the Jewish state a parasite that needs to be wiped from the face of the planet. he is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish state. com, put the threat in context by comparing Iran with Nazi Germany: “It’s 1938 and Iran is Germany. ” Referencing Ahmadinejad’s assertions that Iran will never give up its nuclear quest, Netanyahu said, “Believe him and stop him.

But, while lower levels of enriched fuel can be used for
civilian energy generation, higher levels are used for the
production of WMD. A timeframe of another 8 years,
around 2010-2015 would be enough to create the requisite amount
using only nuclear waste. Also, the spent fuel from a nuclear reactor can
act as fissile material for a bomb. Because it is a signatory to the NPT since 1970 (alongside CWC
and BWC), Iran obviously doesn’t boast of a recognized nuclear
arsenal.

Iran is enriching Uranium and now the current regime is trying to stack the deck of the parliament, through various tactics of quelling dissenters, censorship and a complete black out of the Internet. So, I ask will that call at 3:00 am in the morning to the White House be a wake-up call to the US that Israel is under attack by both Iran and their sponsored terrorist group Hezbollah, using both conventional and nuclear weapons?

Iran has announced plans to start building a new nuclear plant in an undisclosed location. Construction on the plant will begin this year, and it will contain 3,000 enrichment centrifuges – small for the production of nuclear fuel but ample to make fissile material for nuclear weapons.Tehran’s main interest is preventing ISIS from crossing into Iran. ” An Afghan intelligence operator confirms the base is in Birjand, an Iranian city 75 miles from the Afghan border. Last year, Iran’s hard-line Kayhan newspaper described how Afghan recruits were taken for 25 to 35 days to a “special training base.

Such statements may just be hyperbole, as Irans president has attempted to move the country towards a more nationalistic frame of mind, rather than religious. The government, which is made up primarily of staunchly religious conservatives, is enormously worried about this recent development such that it is making statements to the effect that this trend poses risks to the nation. This concern, however, could though reflect genuine concern among the nations leaders that a further destabilized youth movement could further hurt the countrys ambitions. Some conservative Iranian pundits are comparing divorce and not getting married to such other social ills such as abusing drugs and alcohol. Because of the closed nature of the society and government, it is hard to get an accurate understanding of what is going on and why.

Regarding the Iran exports, the most important ones are: hand woven carpets, natural gas, oil, tea, rugs, saffron, handicrafts. Iran has become an essential element when it comes to the international trade. Taking into consideration its advantageous geographical position, this country is mainly used for the economical trading routes and given that, the number of imports and exports has augmented considerably.

To begin, the Iranian people would likely see an attack as an attempt to interfere in their country’s internal affairs, resulting in increased support for the clerical regime and Ahmadinejad as citizens rushed to “rally around the flag. An attack by the United States would incur serious repercussions, not only within Iran, but also across the entire Middle East.

policy since 1979 and especially with the belligerence of the Bush administration, a belligerence that has not inhibited Iran but has alienated U. Iran must persuade the world that it does not want the bomb. However, Iran has been suspected of developing the nuclear bomb for at least 20 years and has insisted that its centrifuges are enriching uranium only for peaceful use. As Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said at the United Nations in 2007: “The world does not need to prove to Iran that Iran is building an atomic bomb. ” Yet, Mohammed El-Baradei, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency that monitors Iran’s facilities, does not accuse Iran of bomb making capability. As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, “There is nothing more important than trying to convince Iran to cease its efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon”. This expression of conciliation contrasts sharply with U.

Olmert may decide that he has no choice but to act without the American approval that President Bush would no doubt insist upon. If he does, the result will be a massive explosion of violence in the Middle East as neighboring Arabs join the Persians in a fight against Israel and the west. This is a situation nobody in their right mind wants to see come to fruition. If the United Nations is not up to the task, the Israeli Prime Minister may have no choice but to handle the problem on his own. And then there truly will be hell to pay. The United States would have no choice but come to the defense of its only real ally in the region. The threat from Iran must be taken seriously, now more than ever.The package would give generous tax cuts to corporations and the wealthiest Americans, and more modest tax cuts to low- and middle-income families. House and Senate Republican leaders forged an agreement Wednesday on what would be the most sweeping overhaul of the nation’s tax laws in more than 30 years.

While this change is in it of itself noteworthy, what is even more so is that many Iranian women are now seeking legal relief themselves, in order perhaps for a greater life and ability to get out of repressive or otherwise unhappy relationships. This is even more so in urban places such as Tehran. Recent data suggest that it must be a good time to be a divorce lawyer in Tehran. Also of note is that young people are not getting married as much as they use to, creating a more unstable society. According to recent census estimates, the rate of families slitting apart has almost tripled over the last couple of year.

Surely Iran would have no qualms in using nuclear weapons. The danger is that both Iraq during the Hussein era and Iran under Ahmadinejad, or through proxies, are capable of murdering millions of people. To the mullahs, millions of deaths are not a regrettable outcome of war; it’s a desired goal as in their twisted worldview nothing brings a Muslim closer to Allah than dying in the course of waging jihad. But Hitler only gassed Jews because he knew that using those weapons against Allied armies was unacceptable, even in the context of the horrors of war, and even when he was desperate towards the end of the war. Hitler had access to chemical weapons technology: after all, Germany had used them in WWI. Unfortunately the same could not have been said of Hussein: he not only used weapons of mass destruction; he used them more than once.

As Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert prepared to leave the Middle East for a meeting with President George W. Bush in Washington, he warned that Israel had “various” options for dealing with Iran, options that he was not prepared to discuss. But what would prompt Israel to strike first? Of course, the use of such diplomatic language immediately creates the perception that Israel is considering a military strike in response to the Islamic Republic’s continued defiance over its nuclear program.

Many say Chinese police checkpoints, frequent home raids, secret detentions and curbs on religion have made life increasingly unbearable.
