Mousavi’s killing leads to vitriol and genocidal threats against Israel
The assassination of Seyed Razi Mousavi, a senior adviser of the IRGC-QF in Syria, has sparked harsh anti-Israel rhetoric and genocidal threats from Iranian officials. Iran's Foreign Minister and IRGC have issued warnings of retaliation, while crowds at Mousavi's funeral chanted against Israel and America. Iranian officials and analysts suggest Mousavi's killing was an attempt by Israel to distract from its defeats and demonstrate its capability to strike enemies. Mousavi was instrumental in logistics for IRGC-QF operations in Syria and Lebanon, particularly in supporting Hezbollah and potentially aiding Hamas' training and operations.
The world ignores Iran’s interest in Latin America to global detriment

44 years after the revolution the Iranian regime hits rock bottom
The article discusses the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, highlighting the regime's lack of popularity and legitimacy among its people. It mentions Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's calls for unity, which contrast with the public's discontent and the regime's attempts to distract from its failures by demonizing the United States and Israel. The article also covers Iran's history of extremist rhetoric, state-sponsored terrorism, and support for militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. It addresses the regime's antagonism towards peace in the Middle East, its role in the attack on Salman Rushdie, and its stance as a leading Holocaust denier. Furthermore, the article touches on the regime's mistreatment of minorities and women, exemplified by the death of Mahsa Amini and the subsequent protests. The author calls for international solidarity with the Iranian people's desire for freedom and peace.

Iran is still in the Holocaust denial biz – big time
The article discusses Iran's continued denial and distortion of the Holocaust, highlighting the country's rejection of a United Nations General Assembly resolution condemning such actions. It references Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's skepticism about the Holocaust and the regime's history of holding Holocaust cartoon competitions. The piece also touches on the Iranian regime's use of Holocaust denial to criticize Western freedom of speech, citing the reaction to French magazine Charlie Hebdo's caricatures of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The article suggests that there is little expectation for change in Iran's stance on the Holocaust, given Khamenei's long-standing denial and the regime's antisemitic rhetoric. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of the international community taking Iran's Holocaust denial and antisemitism seriously amidst the country's other contentious issues, such as the nuclear program and regional actions.
This Iranian’s direct response to Netanyahu
Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel released a video message to the Iranian people, expressing respect for their culture and a desire for improved relations between Israelis and Iranians. He highlighted the potential for future visits between the two nations. However, the article points out that Netanyahu's intention to advise President Trump to roll back the Iran nuclear deal could undermine this gesture of goodwill, especially since Iran has complied with the deal and various Israeli entities, including the Atomic Energy Commission and former Military Intelligence commanders, endorse the agreement. The article also mentions Netanyahu's upcoming trip to the US and his entanglement in corruption scandals, noting the irony of the Israeli investigator with a Persian name.
How Politics Nuked Iran’s Economy
The article discusses the severe economic crisis in Iran, exacerbated by the plummeting value of the Iranian rial against the U.S. Dollar, which has sparked protests in Tehran. The crisis is attributed to economic sanctions imposed by the EU and the U.S., particularly targeting Iran's oil exports and central bank. The sanctions have led to a significant drop in oil exports and difficulties in transferring foreign currency payments. The article also highlights the internal political strife, known as Siyasat Bazee, which is contributing to the crisis. It criticizes President Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for their roles in the economic mismanagement and politicization of the nuclear program, which has led to increased infighting and hindered the country's ability to address its economic challenges.
Iran's Supreme Leader and the 'Holocaust Myth'
The article discusses the issue of Holocaust denial in Iran, particularly focusing on the actions of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Khamenei has a history of denying the Holocaust, and his office recently uploaded a video questioning the Holocaust on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The article suggests that this is an attempt to undermine President Rouhani's efforts to improve relations with the West. It also mentions the upcoming 'Holocaust Cartoon and Caricature' competition in Iran, organized by Holocaust denier Masoud Shojayee Tabatabayee, which aims to challenge Western views on the Holocaust. The author, Meir Javedanfar, an Iranian-Israeli lecturer, argues that Holocaust denial is used by Iranian hardliners to maintain a stance against the West and Israel, despite the Iranian public's desire for better relations with the West. The article concludes that the West can only condemn this antisemitism and view it as a sign of desperation by Iranian extremists.
Why attack Hezbollah now?
The article discusses an Israeli attack on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights that resulted in the death of seven people, including Hezbollah members and an Iranian field commander. It explores various reasons for Israel's actions, such as Hezbollah's recent threats, the upcoming Israeli elections, the anniversary of the assassination of a former Hezbollah commander, and potential military positioning by Hezbollah. The article suggests that these are all possible motivations for Israel's preemptive strike, drawing parallels with past conflicts and urging caution against jumping to conclusions without full information.
