Iran: Nationwide protest<\/a>\/uprising in the making<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fearing further protests and the international political balance of power tilting against the mullahs\u2019 regime, senior officials and those considered close to regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei are seen warning of another uprising spark across the country.<\/p>\n

The people\u2019s rightful demands, expressed in marches, turned into a security situation back in Dec\/Jan, they say. This can lead to a new such episode and result in a far larger crises engulfing the entire regime.<\/p>\n

Senior Iranian regime officials consider the road ahead very much similar to a minefield, especially with protests and strikes on the rise. Some are going as far as saying members and supporters of the Iranian opposition People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) members and supporters \u201claying the mines.\u201dMiddle East<\/a>News<\/a><\/p>\n

US Treasury Blacklists More Iranian Officials<\/strong>US Treasury blacklists six individuals and three entities linked to the Iranian regime including Tehran\u2019s notorious Evin Prison and the Ansar-e Hezbollah.Tehran\u2019s notorious Evin Prison<\/em>The following individuals have been added to OFAC\u2019s SDN List:Abdulali Ali-Asgari, an Iranian media executive who is the current director-general of Iran \u2018s IR Hossein Allahkaram is an ultraconservative figure and former military officer. He is head of the coordination council of Iran\u2018s Ansar-e Hezbollah, an entity dispatched to crackdown anti-regime protests.<\/p>\n

Poland Says EU Needs More \u2018Empathy\u2019 Toward U.S. Over Iran Deal<\/a><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s hardliners and reformers present a united front<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iranian rulers have said they will keep all options open as they respond to Mr Trump\u2019s increasingly aggressive stance towards the republic. This could include Tehran resuming uranium enrichment and even withdrawing from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty \u2014 hardliners have long been critical of the deal arguing that the US could not be trusted and that Iran received minimal benefits. Please use the sharing tools found via the email icon at the top of articles. We will continue to be a good boy and stay in the nuclear deal, but without making any compromise on regional and defence issues,\u201d saiexecutive close to the regime. \u201cWe need to survive for a couple of years until Trump finishes his term and then will see what happens next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does the Trump Administration Support Regime Change in Iran?<\/strong>Secretary Pompeo\u2019s language is elegant and explicit. When he says that we will support the Iranian people\u2019s desire to \u201clive their lives\u201d freely, he is telling them and their oppressive ayatollahs that the United States supports revolution in Iran. He should be applauded. You don\u2019t need to use the taboo words \u201cregime change\u201d to support the anti-regime protests that now cover the whole country. Just do it. The U.S. will work with Iranian opposition groups, the secretary noted, \u201cso long as they\u2019re working toward the same thing \u2014 we don\u2019t want them advocating for regime change, either.\u201d<\/p>\n
