In a recent Facebook post, former Israeli Communication Minister Ayoob Kara proclaimed, “Following a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency saying that Iran continues to advance towards an atomic bomb, it is likely that if President Elect Joe Biden returns to the nuclear deal with Iran, he will have a severe crisis with Saudi Arabia and other countries.”
“These were things that was said to me during my visit to the GAITBETTER Company, which provides advanced medical equipment to prevent aging,” Kara declared. “During my visit to them, I was asked to advance their products in the Persian Gulf and Dubai. Reports that Trump is considering attacking Iran illustrate how much there is concern in the White House about the Ayatollah’s madness.”
According to Al Jazeera, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir stated that Saudi Arabia reserves the right to develop nuclear weapons if Iran cannot be stopped from making one: “Saudi Arabia has made it very clear that it will do everything it can to protect its people and to protect its territories.” He added that Iran only responds “to pressure.”
Today, Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani visits Israel in his country’s first ever delegation to Israel. Rashid Mohammed, the spokesman for the International Coalition for Human Rights, welcomed the visit of Bahrain’s Foreign Minister to Israel and the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries, while emphasizing that Bahrain is also concerned about the Iranian threat.
He noted that Iran is a danger to the peoples of the Middle East and the world at large: “The Islamic Republic of Iran recently kidnapped Habib Asyoud, the former head of the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Al Ahwaz, from Turkey.”
According to the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Al Ahwaz, “The movement affirms that the occupation carried out this heinous crime to limit the movement’s political and media activity in the world. The occupying state assassinates, kidnaps and detains activists to exclude them from their political work.”
Hamid Mutashar, President of the Al Ahwaz Liberal Party, added that the people of Al Ahwaz have been protesting in recent days: “The Liberal Party of Al Ahwaz calls on the peoples occupied by Iran to revolt to expel the occupation from their land. The Ahwazis, Baloch, Kurds and all the other ethnic groups in Iran deserve freedom from the mullah’s regime.”
According to Iran News Wire, “Despite the spread of the coronavirus throughout Iran, various sectors of society still staged protests over the dire economic situation. According to statistics that have been collected and recorded, during October 2020, some 341 protests took place in 83 cities in Iran. The number of protests in October 2020 is roughly the same as those in September 2020.”
“The factors that led to Iran’s November 2019 protests have not faded and have actually increased and become more widespread,” they added. “If the sudden rise in the price of gasoline could lead to huge angry protests across Iran, the current plight of Iranians, including the shortage of bread and water and severe price fluctuations have the potential to spark huge protests.”
“One should not assume that the Iranian regime is in the same position it was in November 2019, when it brutally killed 1,500 protestors,” they stressed. “On the contrary. The Iranian regime is currently swamped in a plethora of economic, social, and political challenges and crises. International sanctions have weakened the regime’s support for its proxy forces, diminishing its regional power. The people of Iran believe that Iran’s November 2019 protests have not ended and that a tiny spark may once again ignite protests across the county.”
In light of this, prominent Middle East scholar Dr. Mordechai Kedar declared: “Where are the Europeans, Americans and all of the rest of the world who care for human rights? Don’t you care that the citizens of Iran want freedom just like everybody else? The Ahwazis, Baloch, Kurds and all the other ethnic groups deserve freedom from the mullah’s regime.”
