NCRI Staff<\/p>\n

NCRI – The Iranian Regime was founded on the principal of exporting their revolution- including their widely discredited interpretation of Islam- to the rest of the world. They have never given up on this idea and continue to pursue world domination through the use of nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and proxy militias to fight for them.<\/p>\n

The Iran- sponsored Houthi militia in Yemen sought to overthrow the internationally recognised government, and replace them with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. The Houthis captured the capital of Sana\u2019a, and the Iranian Regime rejoiced at controlling another capital in the Middle East, but faced opposition from a Saudi-coalition, which stepped up the proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Bruce Riedel, director of the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution, stated<\/a>: \u201cIran is gradually increasing its support for the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Rather than eliminating the Iranian presence in the country, the Saudi-led war is giving Tehran the opportunity to become more influential there than ever. The Houthis \u2026 will need Tehran\u2019s backing more as the stalemate continues \u2026 A war designed to weaken Iran is actually helping it against its regional rival.\u201d<\/p>\n

In November, the Houthis attempted to fire a ballistic missile towards Riyadh International Airport in November, which was the first missile to be aimed at such a densely-populated area.<\/p>\n

The Iranian-made missile was thankfully destroyed in flight by Saudi forces before it could do any damage, but it is clear that the Iranian Regime at the very least supplied the missile and quite possibly order the attack. It is believed that the missile was disassembled, smuggled into Yemen, and reassembled by Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its Lebanese-based proxy Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

The US considers this attack as evidence that Iran has violated two United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions on the Yemen crisis and Iran\u2019s missile program.<\/p>\n

The Houthis have since followed this up another attempted missile attack on Riyadh in December, but this was once again thwarted by the Saudis. However, the Iran-backed Houthi warned that these attacks mark a new chapter, because now Saudi palaces, military bases, and oil facilities, are within missile range.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s use of proxies is widespread in the Middle East. Iran armed Shiite militants in Bahrain as part of an effort to bring the country back under Iran\u2019s control- despite Bahrain gaining independence nine years before the Regime took power- and in November, the militants created an explosion on a major oil pipeline in Bahrain to slow the supply of oil to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

With the help of their proxies, Iran does not need to get their hands dirty and have widely escaped the consequences of their actions.<\/p>\n

When the US threatened sanctions against Iran for noncompliance with the nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA), IRGC Major General Mohammed Ali Jafari threatened to launch ballistic missiles on any US military base within 1,200 miles (the range of their ballistic missiles). Ironically, Iran\u2019s use of ballistic missiles is one of the things that Donald Trump sees as a violation of the JCPOA.<\/p>\n

Following those comments, US Representative Ron DeSantis responded: \u201cIran\u2019s behaviour\u2026 has only seemed to get worse. \u2026 The present course is untenable and Iran\u2019s threatening behaviour is likely to increase in frequency.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1983, Iran attacked a US Marines barracks in Lebanon and killed 241 American service members using its terrorist proxy Hezbollah. There is no reason to suspect that they would not do so again.<\/p>\n

Iran also threatened France after various French politicians raised concerns about the Iranian missile program, Iranian expansionism, and called for a political dialogue on the subjects.<\/p>\n

IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Salami said: \u201cIf Europe wants to turn into a threat, we will increase the range of our missiles\u2026 we have no limitations for the range of our missiles in technological terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Chibarirwe wrote on The Trumpet: \u201cThese [European leaders were] exercising caution even in their efforts to preserve the JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran. But they aren\u2019t doing so because they trust Iran or because they want it to go nuclear; they are doing so because they distrust and fear this belligerent Iran so much that they choose appeasement rather than confrontation. But their idealist school of thought will not solve the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
