The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on an Iranian general from the elite Qods force. The U.S. Treasury Department, which made the announcement, named the general as Ahmed Foruzandeh (Ahmad Forouzandeh), who it said "leads terrorist operations" against U.S. forces in Iraq and directed assassinations of Iraqi figures, Reuters reported.
On January 11, 2007, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Foruzandeh and Brig. Gen. Mohammad Jafari Sahraroudi of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and current deputy Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) traveled to Iraqi Kurdistan for briefing the terrorist groups belonging to IRGC. However, when the US forces raided and arrested a number of IRGC officers and operatives in Arbil, the two were on their way back to Tehran.

In a blatant display of belligerence and outright provocation, and on the eve of President George W. Bush's trip to the region, the Tehran regime had five speed boats of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) harass three U.S. Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend.
The Strait of Hormuz is the major waterway connecting the Gulf of Oman to the Persian Gulf and is vital to the free shipping there. The Pentagon described Tehran's actions as "careless, reckless and potentially hostile." Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described the move as "provocative and dangerous."

Commentary by U.S. Alliance for Democratic Iran
The ayatollahs' regime in Iran began the year 2008 the same way it ended 2007: with more gallows and executions. Nearly 20 executions, some in public, took place in the month of December alone. According to the Agence France Presse, Iran carried out at least 297 executions in 2007, which is about 70% increase in respect to the 2006 numbers.
The 2008 looks to be even more promising for the ayatollahs' executioners. They had a strong opening on January 2, when13 Iranians including the mother of two young children were executed according to the state media. At least three of executions took place in public.

The history of mullah's regime meddling in Iraq goes as far back as the idea of creating an Islamic empire similar to the Ottoman Empire which was dissolved in 1923. In his writings Khomeini vaguely refers to having a united governing entity for "Nation of Islam," and Iran as its epicenter. Not long after the 1979 revolution, with Khomeini and his followers in power, the theoretical idea was revitalized. To embark in the direction of establishing such an empire, Iraq seemed the best first step to take.
History shows that Iran and Iraq had difficulties in their relationship, prior to 1979 upheaval, not because they had so much territorial disputes, while border claims ignited the hostilities from time to time, but much of the problem rested with the geopolitical aspects and the race between the two world superpowers.
