\u00a0<\/strong>Escalating protests<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0According to reports issued by the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/strong><\/a>), protests<\/a> and strikes by workers and people from other walks of life continue across the country. Workers\u00a0 protesting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0against their employers are increasing popular rage against the regime, escalating pressures on senior Iranian regime figures. The mullahs promised to improve the country\u2019s economic conditions after the Iran nuclear deal signing, only to\u00a0fail<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0miserably in this regard.<\/p>\n

Experts believe the wave of protests will increase after the U.S.\u2019 exiting the nuclear pact and the return of sanctions. Experience shows arresting workers and quelling popular demands will only\u00a0spark even further protests<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and strikes across the country.<\/p>\n

People losing hope<\/a> in the dictatorship ruling Iran\u00a0 <\/strong>Concerns among senior Iranian regime officials of \u201cpeople losing hope in the state\u201d has climaxed to such an extent, leading to interesting remarks from various sources:
\n\u2013 \u201cThe people are fed up\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201cWe are facing an impasse and a crisis\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201cThe state is facing a difficult road ahead\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201cThe people will no longer tolerate seeing officials living like lords\u201d<\/p>\n

The ruling apparatus is extremely concerned over a new spark of protests, knowing the Dec\/Jan nationwide protests can be\u00a0 repeated<\/strong><\/a>. Abbas Abdi, a member of the Iranian regime\u2019s so-called reformist\u2019s faction, refers to the regime\u2019s \u201ccrisis and impasse\u201d and the people\u2019s growing abhorrence The Iranian regime has throughout the years continuously resorted to ramping up its domestic crackdown machine. This year, however, we are witnessing people overcoming their fears and the international community taking action to weaken Tehran in this regard.<\/p>\n

US impose sanctions against Ukrainian<\/a> airline Dart for cooperation with Iranian airlines<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The United States has added Ukrainian airline Dart to the list of anti-Iranian sanctions. According to a report in the Federal Register of the United States, the Ukrainian airline was sanctioned due to the fact that the Ukrainian airline cooperated with Iran\u2019s Caspian Air. Caspian Air was designated to the sanction list due to support of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) through transporting personnel, and illicit material, including weapons, from Iran to Syria.<\/p>\n

Under Secretary, Sigal Mandelker on Iran at the Foundation for the Defense of\u00a0Democracies<\/strong>Two days ago, the Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, made this speech at the FDD.I am going to focus in on the surreptitious means Iran uses to finance itself and its long list of malign activities.\u00a0I spend my days and nights tracking and targeting terrorist financing, proliferation financing and a myriad of other illicit activities, including the methods our adversaries use to attempt to conceal their behavior. Iran\u2019s Systematic Efforts to Undermine the International Financial System.<\/strong> The objective is to ensure that no legitimate company or government knows that they are being used to achieve Iran\u2019s illicit aims.\u00a0 What is all the more remarkable about this activity is that we are seeing Central Bank of Iran complicity in Quds Force financing?<\/p>\n
