World Should Stand With Iranian People<\/a> Tuesday, June 5, marked the 15th consecutive day of the nationwide truck driver\u2019s strike in Iran, with tens of thousands of heavy vehicles drivers taking part in almost 300 cities across the country.<\/p>\n

The video footage and photos of the strike, which are being widely circulated on social media, show that the protest \u2013 part of the people\u2019s uprising \u2013 is both incredibly vast and highly organized. This means major problems for the Regime, as its far easier to quash a localized protest with little organizational structure.<\/p>\n

As the strikes continue, truckers from across the world are expressing their solidarity with the striking Iranians, through messages on social media and in letters to government officials. This not only takes a stand in favor of the Iranian people<\/a>, but also against the corrupt Regime.<\/p>\n

The plan failed when two U.S. banks refused to participate. Yet two years later, the revelation is re-igniting the bitter debate over the nuclear deal and whether former President Barack Obama was too eager to grant concessions to Tehran. \u201cThe Obama administration misled the American people and Congress because they were desperate to get a deal with Iran,\u201d said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who chairs the Senate panel that conducted the investigation<\/p>\n

Editorial: Khamenei\u2019s Nuclear Dilemma<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ali Khamenei\u2019<\/a>s remarks came nearly four weeks after President Trump announced that the US would no longer be a party to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and after European leaders were unable to offer the regime guarantees that US sanctions would not affect their trade relations. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran must make the necessary arrangements to reach 190,000 SWU in the framework provided by the JCPOA and must begin some other preparations that the honorable president has ordered beginning tomorrow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
