"The West should heed the shriek of a wounded animal emanating from Tehran. The Islamic Republic is now dangerously unstable. There is no point in trying to negotiate with the Iranian puppet president Masoud Pezeshkian, foolishly regarded as a “moderate” by some Western leaders. Pezeshkian has presided over the execution of 562 prisoners, including 20 women, since he took office in August. He is no moderate and, in any case, takes all his orders from Khamenei."
"Suffering a series of devastating blows, the Islamic Republic of Iran is now like a wounded beast, dangerous and unpredictable. Having seen their “axis of resistance” crumble, with the effective decapitation of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the mullahs’ regime has now suffered its greatest catastrophe, with the fall of their closest ally Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s ailing and increasingly confused Supreme Leader, regarded Syria as Iran’s 35th Province.
"For decades he funneled more than $50 billion and tens of thousands of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) personnel and other Islamist militias into propping up Assad’s brutal regime. The sudden collapse of the Assad dictatorship has removed a fundamental pillar vital for the Islamic Republic’s regional strategy, creating a seismic upheaval.
"The imminent arrival of Donald Trump as America’s 47th president, must seem like the final straw for Khamenei and his tyrannical mullahs. Trump unilaterally withdrew America from Barack Obama’s deeply flawed nuclear deal with Iran and introduced a campaign of ‘maximum pressure’ sanctions.
"In a rambling speech last week to his senior officials in Tehran, the Supreme Leader kept repeating “Don’t be demoralized, don’t have despair”, as he tried to justify the massive loss in blood and treasure that his regime has squandered in Syria.
"Western powers, gloating at the dismantling of Iran’s proxy allies, should now be wary of the theocratic regime’s next moves. Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) warned at a conference in Bahrain that the Iranian regime has dramatically increased its production of highly enriched uranium, up to 60% purity, a hair’s breadth away from weapons grade. He says the mullahs, who are no longer cooperating with his inspectors, could develop a nuclear missile very rapidly.
"Carefully watching how Western powers run for cover every time Vladimir Putin even mentions a potential nuclear retaliation, the Iranian mullahs may consider a nuclear threat their best option for clinging onto their diminishing authority in the Middle East." . . .
From the Tunnel Wall; July 6, 2018: Iran has completely stopped harassing US ships now that strong Trump replaced weakling Obama
. . .During the final years of the Obama administration, Iranian gunboats regularly harassed U.S. ships, with three dozen such interactions occurring in 2016. During President Donald Trump’s first year in office, the number of annual incidents dropped to 14, a decrease of about 60 percent. So far in 2018, there has not been a single case of harassment, the U.S. Navy told Fox News." . . .
