Tension is building between Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Jihad Watch reported last week: In a leaked interview, sure to be embarrassing for Iran, its foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif bashed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and indirectly, the late Qassem Soleimani, who was a hero by Iran.

Iran: Blackout at Natanz nuke facility after explosion, officials confirm Israel’s involvement
According to American and Israeli intelligence officials, Israel was involved in an explosion at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility that knocked out power in Iran. The power outage destroyed the functioning of the centrifuges used to enrich uranium at Natanz, which is known as Iran’s flagship nuclear plant. It isn’t the first time that Israel was […]
Biden administration still ‘flexible’ and ‘open’ to nuclear deal with Iran, even after Iran’s rejection
As America under Biden begins to grovel before Iran, the Islamic regime is emboldened. Last week, after consultations with Biden, South Korea released seven billion dollars in frozen assets to Iran, which will be used to further Iran’s global adventurism, and that of its proxies. It is telling that even though the last nuclear deal […]
Iran abruptly ends snap inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency
Iran has been in a standoff with the Biden administration, with Ayatollah Khamenei demanding that the U.S. immediately lift sanctions before going to the table to negotiate the revival of the nuclear agreement, an agreement Iran did not abide by and even admitted to violating. Biden is demanding, on the other hand, that Iran first […]
Iran calls on the UN to intervene over ‘Israeli military action threats’
Iran is a clear, escalating threat to Israel, to the region, and globally. The Iran threat has been heightened by Trump leaving office and being replaced by Biden, a man the Iranian mullahs clearly deem to be a pushover. Israel has made it clear that it will defend itself. Now (in a manner similar to […]
Iraq’s foreign minister enters talks with Iran to bring charges against Trump over killing of Soleimani
Under Biden, the Middle East is as turbulent as ever, with the Islamic State rising once again in Iraq and rogue Iran viewing a Biden administration as a pushover. Bad news for Western interests, and it’s likely to get worse. “High-level Iraqi delegation in Iran to talk trade, Soleimani,” by Maziar Motamedi, Al Jazeera, February […]
UN’s highest court announces it can hear case by Iran to end American sanctions
The Islamic supremacist-kowtowing, jihad-supporting United Nations, which voted down a US-authored resolution condemning Hamas, has descended to a new low. All freedom-supporting Western countries should have pulled out of the United Nations long ago, as it has become an expensive forum for revolutionary agitprop by the red-green axis. Like his Democrat predecessor Barack Obama, Biden […]
Blinken warns Iran could be weeks away from having enough nuclear material to develop nuclear bomb
Iran has violated the nuclear deal for a considerable period, has admitted to doing so, and has flaunted this to the global community amid boasts about its military might, including the unveiling of a new “missile city.” It could not be clearer that Iran is uncontrollable and untrustworthy regardless of any negotiations. It is a […]
Qatar calls on Gulf nations to enter into dialogue with Iran, offers to broker negotiations
Trump’s Middle East approach was to isolate the Iranian regime and work with Gulf nations that were more friendly to the West, including those willing to either normalize relations with Israel or even to consider doing so. Under Joe Biden, America is viewed as a pushover kaffir nation that will bow to the Iranian regime […]
Iran jails American businessman for ‘spying,’ threatening Biden’s plans for rapprochement
Already Iran is strong-arming the US in anticipation of a weak Biden administration, which it has determined will bow to the Iranian regime and be easily manipulated by it. Appeasement has never worked, nor will it ever work with Iran. Under the tough-on-Iran Trump administration, Iran released over 40 U.S. hostages and detainees. “Iran jails […]
Iran’s Rouhani on Trump: ‘In a Few Days, the Life of This Criminal Will End’
You can tell a lot about a man by the identity of his enemies. My latest in FrontPage: Fulminating Wednesday about the killing of jihad leader Qassem Soleimani, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani thundered: “As I said after the martyrdom of Martyr Soleimani, I emphasise again that if you cut off Martyr Soleimani’s hand, we […]
Iran goes to Interpol for arrest of Donald Trump and 47 others for killing Qasem Soleimani
Iran’s grieving and rage over Soleimani’s killing does not stop at its Interpol request. Iran’s judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi has also issued a warning that Qasem Soleimani’s killers will “not be safe on Earth.” Soleimani was commander of Iran’s Quds force. His successor, Esmail Qaani, warned that “severe revenge awaits” and that it may come […]
Emboldened by prospect of Biden administration, Iran seizes tanker, ramps up uranium enrichment
Iran has upped its game in eager anticipation of a Biden Administration and its stated intention to reinstate the Iran nuclear deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu two years ago warned the UN of Iran’s breaches of the deal. He offered proof that the deal was based on lies, and that Iran was, contrary to […]
Iran’s Rouhani: ‘Trump’s fate will be no better than Saddam’s fate,’ as Saddam ended up ‘hanging from the gallows’
Iran has become confident and emboldened. The jihadist regime of Iran is salivating at the thought of a Biden administration, during which it is confident that it will have free rein to expand its global adventurism. In its view, America will now “bow” and sanctions against it will end, as the disastrous nuclear deal is […]
EU ministers back return to Iran nuke deal under Biden
This amounts to a combined effort to boost one of the worst enemies of free societies, Iran. Biden has said he sees a return to the current 2015 agreement as the best immediate route to regional stability… Just the opposite. Iran has been building up its nuclear arsenal all along. It is inconceivable that anyone […]
Rouhani: ‘Iran is going to compel the future U.S. government to bow…and the sanctions will be broken’
Iranian leaders have been celebrating in hope since the American election. Iran can’t wait for Biden. Rouhani said that he was “very happy” that Trump was leaving office. It is telling when a grave enemy of freedom such as Iran celebrates any Western leader whom it considers to be beneficial to its goals. Joe Biden […]
Biden In No Hurry to Rejoin the Iran Deal?
Although it seems too good to be true, Israel Hayom reports that some of President-elect Biden’s advisers do not want him to simply lift sanctions and reenter the JCPOA, the flawed nuclear deal, with Iran. Apparently Biden’s original Iran strategy amounted to plucking defeat from the jaws of victory, by lifting those most effective, because […]
Iran Violates 2015 Agreement Again, and Even the Europeans are Alarmed
Iran has lately been behaving so outrageously that even the E3 – France, Germany and the UK – countries that continue to adhere to the 2015 JCPOA agreement, have become alarmed. The story is here: “Europeans slam Iran plan to boost enrichment, warn it not to boot UN inspectors,” Times of Israel, December 7, 2020: […]
Top Iranian Nuclear Scientist Assassinated: An interruption of the Islamic Republic’s new post-election exuberance
My latest in FrontPage: The party celebrating Joe Biden’s proclaimed victory was in full swing in Tehran, and then it was rudely interrupted. The New York Times reported Friday that “Iran’s top nuclear scientist, who American and Israeli intelligence have long charged was behind secret programs to design an atomic warhead, was shot and killed […]
Saudis Alarmed At Prospect of Biden Rejoining the Iran Deal
Israel and Saudi Arabia are the two countries most threatened by Iran, and both have been well-pleased with President Trump’s withdrawal in 2018 from the nuclear deal with Iran and the imposition of crippling sanctions on the Islamic Republic, that have helped to bring that country economically to its knees. Iran’s major source of wealth, […]
