Elaborating On Iran’s Continued Opposition To The Zangezur Corridor

This is no longer a small matter after the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian Ambassador to share their concerns with him about his country’s support of this project.

Iran’s continued opposition to the Zangezur Corridor was touched upon here last month, where it was concluded that it’s relying on false pretexts to advance what it regards as its national interests. Since then, the Iranian Foreign Minister implied that the project would redraw regional borders, after which his institution summoned the Russian Ambassador to share their concerns given Moscow’s support of it. Here are five observations about this policy’s motivations and consequences:

The West Finally Realized Just How Game-Changing The North-South Transport Corridor Really Is

It’s surprising how much time Bloomberg’s writers invested in correcting their audience’s perceptions about the North-South Transport Corridor, which they should sincerely be commended for doing. The only constructive critiques that can be leveled against their report is that it should have been published much earlier and that it predictably ends on the politically self-interested note of implying that the US’ secondary sanctions threats could impede this project. Apart from that, it’s a rare masterpiece from the Mainstream Media.

La Russie neutralise l’offensive ukrainienne de Koursk

Le président russe Vladimir Poutine a pris l’Occident à contre-pied en réagissant à l’offensive ukrainienne de Koursk, il y a un mois, qui a été largement célébrée comme un point de basculement dans le conflit. Le conflit est effectivement à un point de basculement aujourd’hui, mais pour une toute autre raison, dans la mesure où les forces russes ont profité de la folie du déploiement par l’Ukraine de ses brigades d’élite et de blindés occidentaux prisés dans la région de Koursk pour atteindre une position indétrônable ces dernières semaines sur les champs de bataille, ce qui ouvre la porte à de multiples options pour l’avenir.

The absolute control of Hezbollah of the border crossings to Syria is critical to its survival and leads to the destruction of the state of Lebanon

For many years now, Hezbollah has served as a major instrument of Iran to take over Lebanon, not only as a territory but as a sovereign state. Many Western countries would like to avoid that and invest in the former “Pearl of the Middle East”, led by France. These efforts are futile in view of the Iranian circumvention apparatus, who’s main mechanism is allocated in the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon. No matter how much pressure is put on a state level, Hezbollah will survive and even prosper, as long as one does not put an end to Hezbollah’s control over these main smuggling routes.

Nasrallah – the protector of Iran, the destroyer of Lebanon

Three decades have passed since Hassan Nasrallah came into power as the general secretary of Hezbollah, shortly after the elimination of Abbas al-Musawi. Over the years there have been several attempts to outline his personality, all of which clearly missed the true story behind this infamous terrorist, and in some cases even disproportionally praised him.

La dédollarisation, voie vers la liberté financière mondiale

Le dollar et la suprématie américaine

La dédollarisation qui s’opère sur le marché financier mondial n’est guère évoquée dans les médias occidentaux. En dehors de l’Occident, en revanche, on l’espère, car un monde sans le dollar comme monnaie de référence, est considéré comme la voie vers la liberté financière et la fin réelle du colonialisme.

The Quds Force in Syria: Combatants, Units, and Actions

Abstract: The key mission of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) is to defend the Iranian Islamic Revolution and create armed militias in the countries of its “Axis of Resistance.” Its organization is opaque and complex, coordinating combat operations with soft-power actions aimed at, among other initiatives, establishing a Pax Irania in the Middle East, a ‘peace’ of which it is the initiator and guarantor. Although the Quds Force’s apparatus in Syria has been under pressure from Israeli airstrikes, Tehran is sticking to its mission set: infiltrating Syrian civil society and sending fighters to the north, where the civil war will one day end, and to the south, on the edge of the Golan Heights, to establish a base against Israel if necessary.

Erdogan Calls on Muslim Nations to Isolate Israel

Latest Developments

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on September 7 called for the formation of an Islamic alliance to halt what he called “the growing threat of expansionism” from the Jewish state. Falsely claiming that Israeli officials “openly state” their desire to occupy the entire region, Erdogan maintained that an alliance of Islamic countries is the “only step that will stop Israeli arrogance, Israeli banditry, and Israeli state terrorism.” Erdogan alleged that, after Gaza, “the turn will come for other countries in the region. It will come for Lebanon, Syria. They will set their eyes on our homeland between the Tigris and the Euphrates.” He then applauded Hamas — an Iran-backed, U.S.-designated terrorist organization — for “defending Gaza” and “Islamic lands,” including Turkey.
