The new Persian empire Why American troops must not serve as Iran’s expeditionary force

ANALYSIS/OPINION: By  Clifford D. May September 19, 2017 Eleven years ago,  Henry Kissinger  famously said that  Iran ’s rulers must “decide whether they are representing a cause or a nation.” If the latter,  Iran ian and American interests would be “compatible.” As for the former: “If Tehran insists on combining the Persian imperial tradition with contemporary Islamic fervor, then a collision with America is unavoidable.” Since then,  Iran ’s rulers have left no room for doubt. They’ve been aggressively spreading their Islamic Revolution and constructing what can only be called a new Persian Empire. That will surprise no one who has seriously studied the ideology of  Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini , founder of the Islamic Republic. What might: Their project has received significant support from the United States.

By Heshmat Alavi 18 September 2017 There is a new understanding in Washington over how US President  Donald Trump , set to deliver his first United Nations General Assembly speech tomorrow, can tackle the Iran challenge. It would be wrong to view the conglomerate of  Iran -created crises through a single periscope focusing exclusively on the  nuclear  dilemma.

22 August 2017 By Heshmat Alavi  The military phase of the fight against ISIS is winding down after the liberation of Mosul , and the battle for the nearby  town of Tal Afar  is predicted to end soon. This has provided an opportunity for Iraq to begin distancing itself from the influence gained by Iran following the disastrous 2003 war, and returning to its true Arabic heritage.Iraq was known as a melting pot where Arabs, Kurds  and Turkmens lived alongside and in mixed societies for centuries. Prior to Iran gaining its disastrous sway across Mesopotamia, this was a land where the majority of Shiites lived and prospered with their Sunni, Christian, Yazidi and all other religious minority brothers. Has not the time arrived for Iraq to regain its true position as part of the Arab world, and rid its soil of the meddling of Iran’s clerics?

By: Shahriar Kia  2017-08-01    The Iranian regime is attempting to secure a corridor through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, providing a supply route for its numerous terrorist proxies in the region.

Written by Poorang Novak  Published: 30 July 2017 CONTRARY TO IRAN LOBBY CLAIMS, REGIME CHANGE DOES NOT END IN WAR One of the great falsehoods of the Iran lobby and the appeasers of the clerical regime in Tehran is that any effort at regime change would inevitably lead to war. This by-line can be seen in every article by the Iran lobby and the appeasers attempting to underscore the growing global support for the Iranian opposition (MEK/PMOI) and the Iranian people’s quest for regime change.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) was also involved in the production of the movie in February/March 2017.
