Bahrain seizes weapons, arrests suspects for ’Iran links’

Iran sending arms to meddle in Bahrain

Bahrain authorities said they had uncovered a large stash of weapons and arrested a number of people suspected of having links with Iran, AFP reported Thursday.
A statement late Wednesday published on the interior ministry’s website said arms and explosives were discovered in a house in the mainly Shia town of Nuwaidrat, south of the capital Manama.
The cache included a tonne and a half of C4 explosives and other explosive material, as well as automatic rifles, pistols, and hand grenades, according to the ministry.
It said several suspects were detained for allegedly having “links with Iran Bahrainin August arrested five people suspected of links with Iran in connection with a bombing that killed two policemen in the island Gulf state.
The tiny but strategic US ally has seen frequent unrest since a Shia-led uprising erupted four years ago demanding a constitutional monarchy.
Bahrain frequently accuses Shia Iran of backing the unrest.

Iranian regime president unwittingly admitted the country have previously pursued nuclear weapons

A very interesting and eye opening revelation recently came over the transom from Tehran: In an interview to the state-run news agency IRNA, president Rouhani threatened that “if the other side breaches the deal, wewill go back to the old path, stronger than what they can imagine.”

We can set aside the belligerent tone here: Bluster and bullying have long been the Tehran regime’s stock-in-trade. But it’s worth spending a few minutes parsing Rouhani’s words. The “other side” is the collection of world powers, known as the P5+1, that are currently negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program. (They’ve just extended the deadline by a week, to July 7.) The “deal” is a long-sought bargain that would allow the regime in Tehran to pursue peaceful nuclear technology while the world lifts economic sanctions on Iran.

But what, pray, is “the old path” along which the cleric-president is threatening to take his country? Since its secret nuclear plant in Natanz was revealed in 2002 by the dissident group NCRI, the Iranian regime has sworn, over and over again, that it has never pursued nuclear weapons.

The first interpretation for those naïve minded people is to believe the regime’s claim of peaceful nuclear work, then Rouhani’s threat makes no sense. The “old path” would simply be more “peaceful” nuclear research, allowing the sanctions to continue devastating the Iranian economy. That’s not so much a threat as a flagellant’s cry for help: “If you go back on your word, I’ll hurt myself.”

The second interpretation would be that Rouhani is merely bluffing: There’s no “old path,” and Tehran is simply trying to frighten the P5+1 into relenting on the remaining sticking points at the negotiating table in Vienna. (To his critics, President Barack Obama’s claim that the US will walk away from negotiations if it doesn’t get a good deal smacks of bluff, too.)

But the logical and rational mindset is that Rouhani has unwittingly revealed that Iran was indeed pursuing nukes. That would be a real threat, especially if he is also sincere in pursuing this path “stronger than what they can imagine.” Revealingly, even as it has suspended uranium enrichment activities while negotiating with the P5+1, Iran has refused to let the IAEA, the international nuclear watchdog, to investigate whether it has been pursuing nuclear-weapons development.

So, what’s Rouhani’s game—bluff or blackmail? The P5+1 negotiators will call that one off with their eyes wide open, hopefully by July 7.

We are strong enough against the Iranian fundamentalism

With about 19 months left in office, Barack Obama is turning his 

attention to the unfinished business of his presidency, The Hill reported on 21 June 2015.
Obama is rushing to complete a sweeping trans-Pacific trade deal, a nuclear agreement with Iran and a plan to close the Guantanamo Bay military prison. John Kerry will seek to discover on Saturday whether Tehran’s “red lines” have sabotaged the chances of a final nuclear agreement when he meets his Iranian counterpart in Vienna.

The US secretary of state will begin a new round of talks with Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign minister, three days before a deadline for a comprehensive agreement to resolve the confrontationover Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

The aim is to constrain Iran’s nuclear program – particularly the elements that could be used to make weapons – in return for easing sanctions. The outlines of such an accord were agreed on April 2 inLausanne, Switzerland, raising hopes of a final settlement. As he left Washington on Friday, Mr. Kerry said that he was “always hopeful”.

But  the Iranian Ayatollah  , made a crucial intervention on Tuesday, spelling out his terms for a deal - and appearing to renege on commitments that have already been made.

The Iranian regime has since released a summary of   seven “red lines in nuclear negotiations”. Two in particular will prove troublesome at the Vienna talks.

The Mullah wants “all economic, financial and banking sanctions – either by the United NationsSecurity Council, the US Congress or US Administration – to be lifted on the same day a deal is signed”.
But the "joint statement" agreed between Mullahs and six world powers in Lausanne says that EU and US sanctions will be lifted "simultaneously" with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verifying that Iran has kept its "key nuclear commitments".

Although  chances of an agreement in Vienna are still “Under question” , regarding the Iran talks, Senator Corker said, “Congress had no role in this until we passed a bill recently because the president had the ability to go directly to the U.N. Security Council with national security waivers he was given. They are trying to cross these two remaining red lines…

 Congress is sharpening its knives with just one week to go before the June 30 deadline for a nuclear deal with Iran, but to solve the problem and to pass through this threat, US should step away from the table and make sure that the world community can end up with a deal to prove that they are strong enough against the Iranian fundamentalismhttp://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/terrorism-fundamentalism. 

Tehran continues meddling in Arab countries And Obama ignores

As the Islamic Republic of 

Ayatollahs nears a landmark nuclear agreement with the U.S. and other world powers, the Middle East’s future depends on which force emerges as the main player in the region.

Some of Iran’s neighbors are concerned if the financial windfall from the lifting of sanctions enable the pro-terrorism hard-liners in Iran step up the export of Iran’s Islamic extremism throughout the region.

Hasan Rouhani and his Foreign Minister Javad Zarif have invested much political capital to bring their regime to the cusp of a nuclear deal.

 “The nuclear issue would be the first step for testing whether the engagement policy is successful. If the U.S. continues the policy of engagement rather than confrontation, you would find Iran much more flexible and much more ready to cooperate on regional issues,” said the head of the foreign relations committee at Iran’s National Security Council until 2005.

Iran’s involvement in regional conflicts led by the Revolutionary Guards and other hard-line elements of the regime, From Syria and Iraq to Yemen has been expanded.

Many of Iran’s Arab neighbors, along with their European allies such as France, are concerned these elements will be further energized by a completed nuclear deal, which is expected to unfreeze Iran’s access to as much as $150 billion in overseas assets.

Hoping the nuclear agreement will curtail Iran’s forays abroad is as naive as arguing in 2013 that the deal to remove chemical weapons from Syria would ease the brutality of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, said Jean-Pierre Filiu, a professor of Middle East studies at Sciences Po university in Paris and a former diplomatic adviser to the French prime minister.

“What I see is, since the preliminary deal [in April], things have become worse in Syria, worse in Yemen, and worse in Iraq,” he said.

President Barack Obama, who also has staked much political capital on the nuclear talks, told the Saudi-owned Asharq al-Awsat newspaper earlier this month that he couldn’t predict Iran’s internal dynamics.

Mr. Obama added, however, that “it is possible that if we can successfully address the nuclear question and Iran begins to receive relief from some nuclear sanctions, it could lead to more investments in the Iranian economy and more opportunity for the Iranian people, which could strengthen the hands of more moderate leaders in Iran.”?

Maybe the US actual president supposes that he can insult Iranian people's intelligence by using such phrases.

 While many Iranians desire profound change at home, a remarkable segment of those with that ambition remain suppressed since the crackdown on the 2009 “public revolt” put many dissidents in jail or forced them into exile.

Today, many influential Iranian voices such as the MEK, Mojahedin Khalg who have been suppressed by the clerical regime of Tehran for more than four decades, still work to overthrow the Ayatollahs.  The majority of the Iranian people want the regime to be to replaced and they should be replaced by democratic regime as Maryam Rajavi has declared in her ten points announcement in the grand gathering of the Iranian dissidents in Paris.

The Iranian opposition group who is led by Maryam Rajavi and with its political branch in Paris in the name of National council of resistance is the best solution who can overthrow the Ayatollah's regime in Iran. The decisive storm led by Saudi Arabia is the unique solution to kike out Iran's Arab terrorist militias in the Gulf countries. Finally, time to cut off the head of serpent in Teheran.
