Bolton\u2019s two days of talks on Monday and Tuesday reflect the Trump White House\u2019s attempts to solidify ties with the new British government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Bolton is expected to urge British officials to align policy on Iran more closely with that of Washington, which has pressured Tehran with ever-tightening sanctions after Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal. Iranian Regime&#039;s 14 Terrorist Training Camps Preparing to Strike West Iranian opposition activists have revealed to Britain\u2019s Daily Star a network of training camps run by Tehran. It is suspected these military bases are used by the Revolutionary Guards Quds Force. Tehran is feared to use these terrorist camps to train \u201cproxies\u201d to launch operations deep into Europe and in the US, according to the report. Shahin Gobadi, spokesman for the PMOI, told the Daily Star that opposition activists have traced the Quds Force Training Directorate \u2013 which is codenamed \u201c12,000\u201d in internal communications in Iran. \u201cThe Iranian resistance has so far identified 14 training centres belonging to the directorate,\u201d Gobadi said. The PMOI previously warned there will be a \u201cstepping up\u201d of Iranian terrorist activity amid the ongoing crisis in the region. Eight of the bases are claimed centred in the capital Tehran. Iran Regime Has Executed 3,800 People Since Rouhani Took Office A group monitoring human rights in Iran has published a new report stating that Iran\u2019s regime has carried out at least 3,800 executions since Hassan Rouhani took office as President. Iran Human Rights Monitor wrote that Rouhani had \u201cfailed to provide even an iota of the freedoms the Iranian people crave and deserve.\u201d The report pointed out that from day one, the regime of Iran has been based its rule on the pillars of domestic crackdown, and exporting terrorism and a reactionary, religious mentality. \u201cIt does not make any difference which faction is taking the office, the systematic and widespread violations of human rights in Iran have continued unabated for the past 40 years,\u201d Iran HRM wrote.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran news in brief, August 12, 2019Two Killed, Four Wounded as Regime Air Force Guards Attack Protesters At least two people were killed, and four others wounded after an army [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-211337","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-iran-news-in-brief","7":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Iran news in brief, August 12, 2019 - NCRI<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Iran news in brief, August 12, 2019Two Killed, Four Wounded as Regime Air Force Guards Attack Protesters At least two people were killed, and four others wounded after an army air force in the northern Mazandaran province opened fire on locals protesting attempts to confiscate their lands.The Fars news agency, affiliated to the regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards, quoted local sources as saying that the clash started over a dispute about land ownership in the Mahmoud Abad region.Fars reported: \u201cThis attack took place when soldiers intended to install a fence around an airstrip inside the base.
