Iran's People And The Nuclear Deal
Iran's People And The Nuclear Deal Discussions are continuing as we speak over the fate of the highly controversial Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Advocates and opponents are going the limits to present their case prior to the October 15 th deadline when US President Donald Trump is due to determine the status of Iran’s compliance with the accord. While this is a very important discussion, what unfortunately goes neglected is the status of the Iranian people who should be the first beneficiaries of such an accord that led to many sanctions being lifted from the Iranian regime. The ruling elite in Tehran have usurped the billions provided by the Obama administration in cash, waivers and sanctions reliefs to boost their ballistic missile program in violation of UN Security Council resolutions, prop up the Assad regime in Syria and its continuous killings of innocent people, and escalate their lethal meddling across the
Bob Blackman MP: Securing international inquiry into the 1988 massacre will win over the Iranian people Earlier in September, the UN Secretary General sent the latest report of the Special Rapporteur on Iran’s human rights to the General Assembly for discussion. The August 14 report provides a detailed account of a series of serious abuses that were carried out by the Iranian authorities in the past year year. But this year's report is unique compared with previous reports because the Special Rapporteur highlights the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988. The report documents the direct involvement of senior Iranian officials and current ministers in carrying out and defending these mass executions as well as the authorities’ efforts to destroy evidence of mass graves and to harass, intimidate and prosecute those who seek truth and justice. On September 21, the UN Security Council adopted a historic resolution proposed by the UK to bring Daesh to justice.
Time running out for Iran's nuclear deal

Trump told a meeting of the United Nations in September that the deal was "an embarrassment" to the United States. If Trump refuses to certify Iran's compliance with the deal, which seems highly likely, Congress will have 60 days to decide whether to reapply the crippling sanctions lifted by former President Barack Obama after the deal was signed.
Putting Iran’s ‘violence, bloodshed and chaos’ in the spotlight
President Trump deserves credit for his first-ever address to the U.N. General Assembly last week. While his comments on Iran made many of the gathered world leaders and diplomats feel uneasy, his observations were actually spot on. Since the 1979 Iranian revolution, no U.S. president has ever provided such a poignant description of the theocratic regime in Iran . “The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos. The longest-suffering victims of Iran ’s leaders are, in fact, its own people.” One’s view of Mr. Trump ’s policies, character, or politics aside, it is almost impossible to disagree with this description because it very much defines the theocracy that has held 80 million Iranians hostage for the past four decades and crushed their aspirations for a better, mor
Air strikes force hospital closures in northwest Syria: MSF
Air strikes force hospital closures in northwest Syria: MSF Medical charity MSF says air strikes in Syrias northern Idlib province have taken an number of hospitals out of action GENEVA, AFP, 29 September 2017 - A surge in bombing raids has forced hospitals to close in northwestern Syria, medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said Friday. The raids in the Idlib region and northern Hama have intensified since they began on September 19, and hospitals are closing either after being hit or for fear of being targeted, MSF said in a statement. After several months of calm, jihadist-controlled Idlib province has been the target of heavy air strikes by the regime and its Russian allies following a jihadist assault in Hama province. The main hospital in Hama was struck at dawn on Tuesday, MSF said, adding that no one was killed but the facility was shut down.

The United States sees China as critical to averting a military confrontation with Pyongyang, which is fast advancing toward its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of reaching the United States. U.S. officials say Beijing appears increasingly willing to cut ties to North Korea’s economy by adopting U.N. sanctions, after long accounting for some 90 percent of its neighbor’s foreign trade. But to succeed in reaching any kind of diplomatic solution, Tillerson would need to overcome some basic
