U.S. dollar now worth 2 million Iranian rials. No, that’s not a misprint. Iran’s jihadist leaders keep declaring victory (and the media keeps declaring victory on their behalf) while their currency is approaching Venezuelan or Zimbabwean levels of viability. For the first time in history, the US dollar has reached 2 million rials as the Iranian […]
Somali Pirates Hijack Iran Tanker
I never thought that I would have anything good to say about Somali pirates. From Hitler vs. Stalin to Alien vs. Predator, from Shiite vs. Sunni to Al Qaeda vs. ISIS, in Tolkien’s high-minded words, “Oft evil will shall evil mar”. And so, Somali pirates have been making a comeback and their target of choice […]
Iranian girl: ‘My hijab is like a pink missile that is launched to strike the heart of Tel Aviv’
The hatred and bloodlust is inculcated from an extremely early age, and has as its foundation the teachings of Islam itself, which tells Muslims that the Jews are “the most vehement in hostility” toward them (Qur’an 5:82). “Girls At Tehran Rally To Iran State TV: Our Hijabs Are Like Missiles Launched At Tel Aviv; Trump […]
Trump, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood
A British journalist has delivered a scathing review of Trump’s policy toward Israel and Gaza: “Wise up, America!,” by Melanie Phillips, JNS, August 21, 2026: The impasse arose because Hamas is refusing to honor the agreement signed by Israel last October in which the terrorist group would disarm before Israel started to withdraw from Gaza….

Islamic Republic of Iran: Organizers of music performance get heavy prison terms
A Shi’ite hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “And the person with the [sin of] singing (al-ghina’) will be raised [on the day of resurrection] blind, deaf and dumb.

Iranian army top dog promises $30,000 to anyone who captures or kills an American
This is more evidence of the criminal character of the Iranian regime. He didn’t specify that the captured American had to be a soldier. Anyone, even a civilian, will apparently do. This is the same regime that sends missiles into Israeli residential neighborhoods. The aim is collective punishment and ultimately genocide. “Iran Army Commander-In-Chief General […]
Iran’s Economic Collapse Is Slow, Steady, Inexorable
It is not American military threats, which in any case Trump keeps making and then keeps backtracking on that threat, that will bring down the regime in Tehran. It is, rather, the slow, steady, inexorable economic collapse, as described at a website of Iranian exiles and dissidents, here: “Iran’s Fuel Freeze and $127 Billion IOU: […]
Iran: Uncle murders niece with hunting rifle because she wanted to marry for love over family’s opposition
In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for […]
Iran Hostage-Taker’s Daughter Publishes Letter From ‘Hell of ICE Detention’
Irony is dead or being held hostage in an Iranian prison. There’s an old joke about a son who murders his parents and asks the judge to be lenient because he’s an orphan. Maryam Tahmasebi, the daughter-in-law of Masoumeh Ebtekar, an Iranian government official and hostage taker nicknamed ‘Screaming Mary’ who served as the spokesman […]
