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?

OPINION: COUPLE US SANCTIONS WITH MIDDLE EAST EXPULSION OF IRAN by Shahriar Kia 16 August 2017 Riyadh Daily, 16 August 2017 - 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. Iran ’s clandestine nuclear and  ballistic missile  drive, support for terrorism and domestic crackdown are all aimed at maintaining the  Tehran’s fascist mullahs  in power and pursue their regional policies.

By Jubin Katiraie August 2017 29 years ago these days, in Iran under the mullahs’ regime, the massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners , mainly members, and supporters of the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) had engulfed all of Iran. The intensity and speed of this massacre were so severe that not only PMOI/MEK families, but all other families of prisoners sought information about their loved ones. No authorities would provide answers, however.

As the cries throughout the international community continue to lean toward regime change in Iran , the latest Iranian election has resulted in a second term for Rouhani, who has the interests of the regime in the forefront.

While the Trump administration is saying that military action is not off the table, grassroots efforts by Iranian expatriates to help their brethren inside the Iran to topple their repressive regime have been underway.

The event, titled " Onward with the Iranian Resistance, Regime Change within Reach ," expressed the feelings of courageous young people in dozens of Iranian cities, where they...
