US-led NATO's Hegemony Pushes Iran Back Closer to Syria

Former 'reformist' Iranian ruling class failed to appease the US-led collective West despite not only agreeing to open up their nuclear facilities to the most scrutinized inspection by the IAEA international nuclear watchdog knowing well it's a tool used by the same West against countries needed to be subdued and totally ignoring countries and states doing the US's bid, like Israel, for instance, which continues to threaten and attack countries in West Asia, but Iran also went to the length of signing JCPOA, an international agreement approved by the United Nations Security Council.

A lunatic mad elected president of the USA simply tore away Iran's hope of rejoining the Western-dominated international community by tearing apart the JCPOA and the failure of the European lackeys to stand up to their commitments in this agreement hardened the Iranian stance in the region after receiving this harsh wake-up call.

And if tearing apart the JCPOA was not enough, madman Trump followed it up with the war crime of the decade assassinating the top Iranian general on a peace mission in a 3rd country leading to the blowing away of the last bases of the 'reformists' in Iran and forcing the country to pivot back to its policies it adopted since its 1979 revolution.

One of the main pillars of the Iranian pre-JCPOA and pre-Trump war crime of assassinating Iranian most revered army general was its role in what is known as the Axis of Resistance, founded and spearheaded by Syria with other factions joining like the Iraqi resistance led by the PMU, the Palestinian resistance (to Israeli occupation) factions, the Lebanese resistance headed by Hezb Allah, and the Yemeni Ansarullah (Houthis).

The main factor gluing the forces of the Axis of Resistance is resisting the US hegemony in the region, the Levant, Persia, and Arabia, West Asia, and extending to the Arab northern African countries.

Iran, under the former 'reformists', tried to distance itself a little at the beginning of the war on Syria and tried to appease the various parties waging the horrific war on Syria like the regime of the Turkish madman Erdogan, the shortly-lived anti-Islamic Muslim Brotherhood ruling of Egypt, and parts of the so-called Syrian opposition.

The Iranian 'reformists' went to the extent of giving advice to the Syrian leadership on how to accept the US-sponsored factions in Syria in a political solution, ie. to include elements of Al Qaeda and its offshoots in Syria's political and military structure.

It was only when Iran found, in a not-easy way, it was next on the menu of the US's hegemonic and demonic global policies that its 'hardliners' started regaining their powers in the country, the Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA, the malice policies of the Europeans, and the assassination of the Iranian army general leading to the election of Ebrahim Raisi.

Raisi, along with the different Iranian army and paramilitary forces rebuilt their alliances away from appeasing the US-controlled 'collective West' and toward the best interests of the Iranian people and the peoples of the region, strengthening the military cooperation with Syria was one of the policies that helped Iran and Syria to some extent stand up to the US hegemony and rising up in short notice within its role as a regional superpower.

A Severe Blow to US-led NATO; China Mediates Iran and Saudi Rapprochement

The dumbest policies of the crazies, aka the 'adults', in the US regime are helping fix some of the world's most persistent conflicts, with the latest success of China securing rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia and hammering a new nail in the US evil empire's coffin.

A trilateral statement yesterday, Friday 10th of March 2023 took the world by surprise, Iran and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement on multiple bilateral issues with the help of the brilliance of Chinese diplomacy led by Mr. Wang Yi, the overall in charge of China's foreign policies.

The statement signed by the heads of intelligence in Iran and Saudi Arabia details their agreement on:

"Resuming diplomatic relations between them and re-open their embassies and missions within a period not exceeding two months, and the agreement includes their affirmation of the respect for the sovereignty of states and the non-interference in internal affairs of states.
They also agreed that the ministers of foreign affairs of both countries shall meet to implement this, arrange for the return of their ambassadors, and discuss means of enhancing bilateral relations.
They also agreed to implement the Security Cooperation Agreement between them, and the General Agreement for Cooperation in the Fields of Economy, Trade, Investment, Technology, Science, Culture, Sports, and Youth."

This literally blows away decades of hard work by the USA, its European Union vassals, their Israel minion, and other evil powers to instigate a religious war between the heads of two Islamic sects, the Shiites in Iran and the Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia.

Over the past decades and ever since the Iranian revolution overthrew the US puppet Shah in 1979, the US used Saudi Arabia to wage a terrorist war against Iran and every other country that does not align with the USA and maintains relations with Iran. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people were killed, millions maimed, displaced, and suffered, countries ruined, and the entire region was on the brink of an even worse war.

Naturally, the Israelis went hysterical, the US crazies ('adults') are still trying to figure out how much they can torpedo this agreement if possible, maybe using some sailboat with 6 divers... so far, nothing substantial coming out from Biden's junta and we don't blame them, their debacle in Syria led to their debacle in Ukraine and now they have to face this.

The US wanted to meddle with China in Taiwan, and China returns the favor by stripping away the US's main ally in the Islamic world from it.

Syria is Getting Iranian Air Defense System after the Failure of Russian Systems

Syria will be diversifying its air defense arsenal adding the Iranian Som Kherdad air defense systems with its Sayyad missiles.

Syria's supreme commander of the air force and air defense discussed a deal with the Iranian military leadership to acquire the Iranian air defense missiles units, the issue was in earlier discussions and has become more needed in the wake of the latest Israeli war crime of bombing residential neighborhoods in the Syrian capital Damascus 10 days ago.

The different Russian-made air defense systems that Syria uses manage to shoot down at least 4 times the incoming missiles than what the Russians themselves expect, that's because of the personnel manning those systems.

Yet, there's a missing piece in the relations with Russia despite its commitment to the joint war on terror in Syria, to a large extent, it seems that the Russian political leadership is keener on appeasing Israel on the account of Syria for unknown reasons.

Syrian observers question Russia's weird agreement with Israel to coordinate their movement over Syria's skies to the dismay of the Syrian people, the Syrian armed forces, and even the Russian military brass, especially after Israel used a Russian recon plane as a human shield and bombed the Syrian coast from behind and had it shot down by a Syrian air defense heat-seeking missile which got attracted to the bigger bird.

Russia has held back the delivery of its already outdated S300 air defense systems that Syria bought in 2010 upon the request from Israel, had Syria had those systems back then, NATO would have had to count to 10 before waging their war of terror against the Syrian people.

Iran has repeatedly shown its willingness to provide its air defense missiles to help protect the Syrian people from the US-sponsored anti-Jewish Zionist entity dubbed Israel; this is coming to fruition now.

Iranian Officer Protecting Religious Shrines Killed in Syria

Fars News, believed to be an online publication by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps better known as the IRGC, said that one of the IRGC officers was killed in Syria while performing the duty of protecting sacred shrines.

The IRGC outlet did not specify which shrine in which city where the officer was killed, how he was killed, and who was behind the killing, Syria has numerous shrines and religious sites sacred by almost every sect of the main three divinely religions in addition to worshiping and holy places for many other religious dominions not of the three main divinely ones.

Shiites (Shias) in particular place a high importance of sacredness on some of the shrines in Syria, some of which do hold the remains of some of the family members of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and of his close companions.

In the early months of the US-led war on Syria dubbed the Arab Spring - Syria chapter, it was obvious that the NATO-sponsored 'freedom fighters' were targeting religious sites in Syria to stir civil and religious war, something the likes of Kissinger were dreaming of for decades, the Syrian armed forces and Syrian security were fighting constantly on over 40 fronts all over the country and the Iranian IRGC along with the Lebanese Hezb Allah Islamic resistance party dispatched hundreds of their troops to guard the shrines the Shia believe are sacred.

The above can also prove that those invaders, the NATO-sponsored 'Jihadists' had nothing to do with Islam, they were the real enemies of Islam calling themselves Muslim Jihadis to fool the ignorant fools of the west to make them hate Islam and as mentioned above to instigate the religious and sectarian war, the worse of wars mankind has known throughout history after civil wars are religious wars.

Iran's Law Enforcement Dismantle an Israeli Mossad Cell

An Israeli Mossad terrorist cell was dismantled by Iran, authorities said in a statement, the cell plotted to assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists.

The Israelis made it clear they carry out terrorist attacks against all targets they want without fear of international protest, they have the backing of all of the western mainstream media, which in turn is managed by the 'deep states' in western countries, in addition to the absolute protection of the United States of America and all of its proxies and stooges in case their war crimes and terrorist attacks get exposed.

Assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists was always a plot of the Israeli Mossad terrorists, they've carried out a series of such assassinations in the past, they also attacked Iranian nuclear facilities in order to cause catastrophic nuclear leakage since it will not affect them directly due to the distance between Iran and occupied Palestine.

This cell comprised three members, they were monitored for a period of time as per the public prosecutor in Zahedan Province, and they were arrested in different Iranian provinces, faced with compelling evidence that forced them not to resist or protest the arrest warrants issued, the prosecutor added.

Greece is Upset about Iran's Retaliation 'in kind' to its own Piracy!

The Greek authorities called the Iranian seizing of two of their ships in the Persian Gulf 'an act of piracy,' the Iranian strong IRGC corps did seize two cargo ships operating under the Greek flag, the Iranians were simply retaliating to the exact similar act by the Greeks made public a day earlier.

The western mainstream media would not tell you in their headlines why the Iranians had to resort to the seizing of the ships tactic, they are biased state-controlled media, all of them with no exception, if it's not the 'elected' state, it's the permanent state.

A day earlier, the news became public that the Greek authorities not only seized an Iranian cargo ship carrying diesel in the Mediterranean, but they also helped a US pirates ship siphon the diesel onto the US ship and allowed it to sail, if this is not an act of piracy, the word piracy needs to be altered in all dictionaries.

The Iranians summoned the Swiss ambassador to protest the US theft of their ship's cargo and the seizure of the ship itself by the Greek authorities based on a US request, no response from the US or the Greeks, what would be the next step for the Iranians to save their cargo and also to preserve the safety of the entire global shipping business from such acts of piracy? I called it 'NATOing NATO', Redo what they did to the British in a similar incident.

The Greeks have only one option: buy diesel, load it onto the Iranian ship, pay compensations, and undertake not to repeat the same piracy again, and the Greek ships held by Iran will be released, failing to do so in 'timely' manner, as per the Iranian warning, there are 17 other Greek ships within the reach of the Iranian IRGC.

Let's remember that in the previous act of piracy carried out by the UK on behalf of the USA, the Iranians held two British ships and one of them was being escorted by a UK navy ship which was forced to step aside, the Iranians got their ship back, and only after a month of getting their ship, they released the British ship.

Greece doesn't need to look like a pirate, its strongest business is the shipping business, let's see how they will react?

Syrian President Solidify Relations with Iran in a Visit to Tehran

Syrian President Bashar Assad paid a 'working visit' to Iran and met the Iranian supreme leader and president, the meetings discussed elevating the cooperation between the two countries, mainly the bilateral economic relations to grow to reach the level of the cooperation and coordination on all other levels especially the military and security which resulted in combating and breaking the US-sponsored terrorism backbone in Syria and Iraq.

Ever since the US-sponsored and later dropped Iranian Shah was removed by the Islamists in Iran, the two countries have found a joint path against the US hegemony which was chewing up the rest of the world one country at a time by direct invasions, by regime change plots, and by its proxies like Israel, the other NATO members, and by terrorist groups.

The relations between Syria and Iran have stood strong through the biggest challenges each country has faced and together they managed to foil the US and British invasion of Iraq, and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, and both had to flee with their tails between their legs.

The USA did not give up its projects in the region and tried to regime change Iran in the spring of 2009, it failed, it moved to the so-called Arab Spring, it succeeded until it reached the Syrian chapter, it failed despite the astronomical investments in all these interventions, Donald Trump said that his country's wars in the 'Middle East' has cost the USA 7 trillion dollars, I personally believe this is the principal amount for the now spiraling out of control US public debt. Yes, the USA managed to destroy and kill and uproot people in their hundreds of thousands, that's an additional genocide on the shoulders of those who committed them, the price that the US started to pay and will accelerate now is worth it.

This visit to Iran comes as Syria, Iran and the other members of the Resistance Axis have upped their challenge to combat US-led NATO interventions in West Asia and the war crimes of NATO proxies.

Israeli Mossad Failed to Assassinate Iranian IRGC Commander - Reports

Reports circulating that it was an Israeli Mossad operation that failed to assassinate the Iranian IRGC high-ranking commander, the Israeli terrorists do not adopt their crimes abroad despite all the evidence pointing directly at them.

An assassination attempt targeting Brigadier General Hossein Al-Masi (picture above), commander of the 110th Brigade “Salman Al-Farsi” of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, missed the commander but killed one of his bodyguards, the Iranian official news agency IRNA reported.

The terrorist attack took place in the city of Zahedan, the capital of Sistan and Baluchestan province, southeast of Iran, armed men in a car passing by started shooting at the commander's vehicle at a checkpoint in the city, the commander was not hurt, the IRGC security chased the terrorists and arrested all four of them.

Despite no party claiming responsibility for the terrorist attack, most analysts point to the Israeli Mossad, especially since 3 spies working for the agency were arrested in the same province merely 3 days earlier.

Finally, Syria and Iran Agree to Open a Joint Bank to Bypass Western Blockade

The two long-time allies, Syria and Iran, finally agreed to open a joint bank and a number of branches in both countries to facilitate their bilateral trade and money exchange, the agreement was reached during a visiting Iranian delegation.

The Iranian economic delegation visiting Damascus was chaired by Iran's minister for roads and urban developments, the two countries also agreed to open a number of free trade zones and to increase the production of Iranian products in Syrian factories, Iran would benefit from Syria's access to the Mediterranean reducing its trade route significantly.

Despite having 4-decades strong relations, and despite both countries being under a blockade imposed on them by a US-led consortium of US stooges, Iran remains among Syria's least trade partners in volumes lagging way below some of Syria's outspoken enemies! The same goes for Russia whose trade with Syria including the weapons sale remains the 3rd behind China and Lebanon amounting to 6% of Syria's foreign trade.

Syria and Iran have previously forged a number of economic agreements which were stalled mainly by the Iranian former 'reformist' government's lack of initiative who were promised free trade with the west once they sign the nuclear deal dubbed the JCPOA, they shouldn't have trusted the west and should have strengthened their relations with their own long-standing allies instead, now they're realizing this and hopefully they'll fix this short-sighted policy.

The Turkish Regime Abusing Armenians Suffering to Threaten Russia

'Never give your back to a Turk, he will betray you and stab you in your back,' this is said to be a known Armenian proverb, it seems the Armenian prime minister Pashinyan is not familiar with.

Turkish foreign minister and Pashinyan, PM of Armenia

The Armenian economy is suffering, there are more restraints on it after the loss of the latest war waged against the country by Israel, Turkey, and Azerbaijan, especially with blocking the trade with Iran through the lost Nagorno Karabach region in that war. The consecutive Armenian officials have not come up with proper plans to establish a productive economy, no idea why.

Russia's missteps during the latest conflict are not understood, very similar to its missteps in the Syrian conflict in regard to the continuous Israeli bombings of its only reliable ally in the world whether in the war on the real terror or its own survival war, with the latest Israeli bombing targeting the containers yard in Latakia Port merely 15 kilometers from Russia's largest military base abroad in Hmeimim.

Syria is more strategic to Russia than Ukraine, the time has proven and NATO fails to realize with its leaders continuing to offer Ukraine as a prize if Russia leaves Syria for the terrorists and their NATO sponsors, Armenia, however, is essentially more important to Russia than its relations with Israel or Turkey, the latter, actually, both Israel and Turkey do not leave a chance without delivering a blow to Russia, small or big but definitely harmful.

Husni Mahali, the Turkish career journalist and former close friend of the Turkish madman Erdogan who imprisoned him for simply voicing his criticism of the evil Erdogan crimes in Syria, describes how NATO is relying on its 2nd top leader, the flip-flop Erdogan in mending Turkey's ties with Armenia to circumvent Russia taking advantage of Armenia's bad economic situation hinting that the Armenians would drop their claims for the recognition of the Ottoman genocide of 1.5 million of their grandparents in exchange of some Turkish carrots in this disturbing piece: Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation… Russia is the Common Enemy!

Iranian Spy inside the House of the Israeli War Minister

An Iranian spy inside the residence of the Israeli war minister and war criminal Benny Gantz; the spy, a 37-years old Israeli was arrested and the Israelis claim 'all is good' as they try to downplay the scandal.

Israel sells its spying services to others for high prices, such a discovery however the Israelis try to claim that nothing 'sensitive' was leaked remains a strong blow to its marketing in this field.

The spy was hired as a cleaner in the residence and he already took pictures of the residence from inside and shared it with an Iranian-linked hacking group online, the Israelis are saying.

Israel lives on wars and threats against all its neighbors in its quest to steal more land and resources, this draws counterattacks and counter measures by the countries it's targeting, and it seems that despite all the protection, funding, and support it's getting from all of NATO countries, every terrorist group, the Gulfies, and even from Russia and China, the Israelis are losing one front at a time.

Iranian IRGC Confront US NAVY PIRATES and Retrieve an Oil Tanker

So much conflicting news coming from a confrontation at sea that was reported by Iranian media earlier today where US Navy operating in the Gulf of Oman were attempting to pirate an Iranian oil tanker and they were thwarted.

The picture is not yet clear as to what exactly happened, footage released by the Iranian powerful IRGC shows Iranian boats surrounding a US navy ship and forcing it to leave the site then the boats escorting an oil tanker after some of the IRGC troops were dropped over the ship from their helicopters.

One version says the US navy ship tried to pirate the oil vessel, another said oil tanker violated Iranian territorial waters, and a website allegedly close to the IRGC said the captain of this particular ship had earlier collaborated with the USA and handed over a load of Iranian oil destined to Venezuela to the US regime instead, the Iranians were monitoring the vessel and when it came to within their reach they didn't miss the chance to bring back their vessel and the traitor captain.

The Pentagon did confirm an incident happened, whatever they detail later is not trustworthy as usual.

Iran Challenges the Sanctions and Builds Two New Radar Systems

Iran living under constant threats from the USA because it has massive reserves of oil and gas and by Israel and its lackeys because it helps stop the 'one-eyed' 'Greater Israel Project' continues to build its military capabilities to defend itself challenging the US and EU sanctions.

While other countries collapse under such sanctions, the members of the Axis of Resistance' seem to thrive and become stronger, the axis that includes Iran, Syria, Hezb Allah, Yemen, the Iraqi PMU, and the resistance factions in Gaza, who faced individually and collectively massive war of terror, direct invasions, war of attrition, and economic warfare, not only withstood the aggression, they've become stronger proving true the saying: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The latest additions to Iran's defense capabilities are its two indigenously built advanced radar systems, Darb Shams for simulation and training, and Hormuz Radar for tracking multiple targets on different altitudes and speeds.

Press TV which carried the report is one of the media outlets banned by the USA, the EU, and the Gulfies, the same parties cheering for freedom of speech only in the countries they target, sharing the report in case you can't access it.

Wherever There's Trouble You'll Find Israel's Fingerprints: Iran and Azerbaijan

When you plant a cancerous cell into a healthy body it slowly spreads its sickness to the healthy cells around it, scientifically proven, similarly with the rotten tomato next to good ones, proven since the first man put them next to each other, this can't be truer than what Israel is spreading around it and further beyond.

In order for Israel to survive on stolen land, it needs to continue attacking its neighbors directly, when it fails to do so as its neighbors grow stronger it starts with deceit, plotting, extortion, and all those heinous methods you can find in the commandments as not to do, it learned quite well from Britain in this regard.

For Israel to justify its existence in a secular environment while pursuing the goal of being a 'religious theocracy' but for the wrong prophet, it needs to turn its surrounding into smaller theocracies and ignite the sectarian fight, that's exactly what first the US military invasion of Iraq did there followed by the so-called Arab Spring, the NATO plot to use the anti-Islamic Muslim Brotherhood radical organization to ignite Henry Kissinger's long-awaited dream of Sunni - Shia 100 year sectarian war.

When its plot failed to break the alliance between Shia-dominated Iran and secular Syria, it turned to other neighbors of Iran and found its needs in the Azerbaijan President, though his country is 80% Shia and are heartedly connected to Iran, he doesn't mind creating enmity with Iran for Israel in exchange of some investments and oil sales and for closer ties with his mentor the Turkish madman Erdogan.

Husni Mahali, Turkish career journalist and former friend of Erdogan who placed him in jail for criticizing his war on Syria wrote this eye-opening piece for Al Mayadeen about the brewing fabricated tensions between Azerbaijan and Iran to serve Israel, which I translated here: Tensions between Azerbaijan and Iran… “Israel” is on the Line.

Why Israel Is Not Joining the IAEA to Prevent Nuclear Proliferation, Syria Asks?

Everybody who watches international news knows that there's not a single day without an Israeli official statement calling for other countries to attack Iran on its behalf because Iran has an imaginary military nuclear program, never proven, and if those 'goyim' do no attack Iran at Israel's instructions, it will do so itself and drag the whole world into a horrible conflict.

65th General Conference of the IAEA - Vienna

In consequence of the Israeli officials polluting the news with their barking against the imaginary never proven Iranian military nuclear program, the US officials start barking, and when they do so the western European echo their barking against Iran's non-existing imaginary military nuclear program.

A military nuclear program is a nuclear program taken to the next level to produce a bomb, similar to the one used by the USA, Israel's main patron, against hundreds of thousands of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan after the war ended. Or like the ones used by the French occupation forces against thousands of Algerians in Algeria to test the effects of a nuclear bomb on human beings.

Other than the military nuclear program, many countries around the world have acquired a peaceful nuclear program, mainly to generate power, for researches, and for medical use, among other civilian uses.

Guess what? That trouble-making war-loving war criminal little border-less state built on stolen land known as Israel, the same one calling to attack others to prevent them from any use of a nuclear program and who has attacked Syria claiming, never actually proved, it attacked a site yet to be built for housing a small nuclear reactor in 2007, it has an unknown yet highly likely large arsenal of atomic weapons in addition to an existing well confirmed nuclear reactor in the southern region of occupied Palestine, gifted by France to them. This entity called Israel refuses to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) safeguarded by the IAEA, and refuses to declare its own nuclear program!

Syria, a member state and signatory to almost all international treaties, especially the ones to rid the world from weapons of mass destruction, which is constantly attacked by the countries and entities who possess and have used nuclear and chemical weapons against civilian populations, called out the IAEA for its duplicitous acts pressuring Syria and Iran while ignoring Israel's program for weapons of mass destruction, more in this report: Syria Slams the IAEA for Ignoring Israel’s Illegal Nuclear Activities.

Hezb Allah, Syria, and Iran Break the US Oil Embargo on Lebanon

104 Syrian tankers carrying Iranian oil arrived in Lebanon today breaking the embargo imposed on the Levantine country for the past 1.5 years.

This is a major step in challenging the US hegemony over the region, it's also a small step that is worth the last decades of the US efforts to demonize the Resistance Axis which revealed the reality on who is behind the suffering of the people of the region and who is working on enhancing the lives of the people starting with their freedom and ending with their bread.

Each tanker carries up to 50,000 Litres of diesel, this is the first shipload out of several others, 2 are already due to arrive in the Syrian port of Baniyas, Hezb Allah leadership who bought the oil from Iran asked Syria to offload the shipment in Syria and then transport it by land into Lebanon to avoid embarrassing the US agents among the Lebanese officials. This step also broke the US veto on the Lebanese communications with Syria where a top delegation visited Syria earlier this month after a decade-long boycotting to seek Syria's approval to transport electricity from Jordan and gas from Egypt to Lebanon through Syria.

This shipment also broke the US veto on forming a government in Lebanon, they have been under a caretaker government for 14 months.

NATO Propagandists Had a Short Excitement Yesterday for a Ship that Caught Fire at a Syrian Port

NATO propagandists were joyful yesterday doing what they know best in fabricating news to suit the warmongering agenda of their war ministries and the evil people running their countries when reports of fire erupted on a ship docking at the Syrian port of Latakia.

First of all, the ship was a Syrian merchant ship that docked at the port for scheduled maintenance, it was empty and it caught fire while the crew was working on its needed repairs, a normal thing that happens all the time around the world.

NATO propagandists, however, saw in it an opportunity at very high tense times to spread panic, instigate military actions and reactions as they started reporting that an Israeli raid on an Iranian oil ship caused the fire, there was no Israeli raid, the ship is not Iranian, and it's a normal cargo ship and not an oil tanker!

Iranian media quickly confirmed the same from their official sources and the NATO propagandists plot was exposed, but that doesn't cause any damage to the already debunked liars, their devoted audiences would believe them even if they report sighting flying elephants on the over the River Thames in London.

Trump Brought Up the Hardliners to Power in Iran with his Foolishness

Trump is gone but some of his work is just producing, the latest of which is the election of the core hardliner among all the other hardliners President Elect Ebrahim Raisi as the new president of Iran replacing a reformist and the closest to the West Iran would ever come President Rouhani and his team.

Not only that, Mr. Raisi won with a landslide victory and from the first round and if that is not enough, his wing, the hardliners, collectively diminished the single reformist's votes in a total 22.3 million vs 2.4 million for the lone reformist.

Iran is split into two main wings: reformists who seek mending the relations with the west and sometimes at the cost of Iranian interests, and the hardliners or call them conservatives, if you may, these do not like the 'greatest devil the USA.

How did Trump exactly help prop up the chances of the hardliners over the reformists? He did a lot of dumb things against Iran hoping in his words and the words of his Pompeo thing: 'Imposing the maximum pressure on Iran and they will come to us begging for any deal'. In addition to the 'maximum pressure, the withdrawal from the internationally ratified nuclear deal with Iran, and the assassination of Iran's top general while on an official visit to neighboring Iraq openly and bragging about it, in addition to the constant threats by the USA, Israel, and the Saudis.

The Tanker Opposite Syrian Coast Was Not Iranian and Was Not Hit by Israeli Drone

All fingers pointed at the usual culprit with a long history leading to such incidents in the fire the broke out on the oil tanker opposite the Syrian coastal city of Baniyas, even the Syrian news agency did not rule out the explosion was due to a drone attack by Israel.

Later investigations concluded that the explosion was because of a mistake while fixing one of the balancing tanks to be filled later with water when loading off the ship's cargo.

3 of the crew members were killed by the explosion and the ensuing fire on the deck of the ship, the fire was put down by the other crew of the tanker.

Earlier reports suggested that an attack by a drone coming from the side of the Lebanese territorial waters hit the hull of the ship and its deck causing material damage in the hull and killing the crew on the deck, the only culprit with a history of such attacks would be Israel.

Israel started attacking ships when it bombed the USS Liberty navy ship in 1967 killing 34 of its servicemen and wounding 171 others including the ship's captain, the Israelis even fired at the lifeboats deployed by the ship in a heinous crime against international law.

In the past two years, Israel with its US and British patrons was targeting Iranian ships carrying oil to Syria to compensate for the oil stolen by the US-sponsored ISIS and the Kurdish SDF terrorists who later deliver the stolen Syrian oil to Israel. The tankers' war with Iran led to series of attacks and counterattacks against ships.

Israel Bombs an Iranian Logistics Ship in the Res Sea, Reports

Israel is the main suspect in the bombing of the Iranian Saviz logistics cargo ship in the Red Sea yesterday, most reports almost confirm.

The Iranian Saviz logistics support vessel has been docked in the Red Sea for a number of years and is tasked to provide support to Iranian commercial ships going through the Asian - African vital water passway, yesterday the vessel was bombed by navy mines plastered to its body.

Israelis and their western sponsors tried to legitimize the targeting of the Iranian vessel by claiming it belongs to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, as if that would justify any such war crime and dangerous instigation.

Only weapons makers will benefit from a new escalation, the entire world will be losing, especially when, and not if, Iran starts retaliating in its full right against ships belonging to Israel and its supporters.
