To be clear, Iran pays its proxy militias, like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, in US dollars and can\u2019t get enough because of sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>US special representative to Iran Brian Hook recently said: \u201cWe had very good meetings with both of the Saudis and the Emiratis, and they share a lot of our national security goals with respect to Iran. So it\u2019s in our interest and it\u2019s in their interest to deny the Iranian regime the revenue it needs to fund its foreign policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Iran regime threated, in response to the removal of waivers, to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz waterway, while firebrand General Hossein Salami was appointed as head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), in response to the US designation of the IRGC as a terror group. But Iran cannot close the waterway or it would be subject to military intervention by the US. Iran doesn\u2019t have the military power to fight the US, let alone its allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel as well.<\/p>\n<p>The only choice the Iranian regime has is to give into the US\u2019s list of 12 demands, end its malign behaviour, and put its money and its effort into improving the lives of the Iranian people. However, as nice as that sounds, it will not happen. The Regime is incapable of reform and the only answer is for the people and their resistance to overthrow the mullahs.<\/p>\n<p>The Regime must choose between starting a war it will not win and promising concessions it will never follow through with. The Regime will be over soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;Mahmoud Hakamian The Iranian Regime is in a crisis following the US decision to end sanctions waivers for the eight countries buying Iranian oil from May 2 and it appears [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":53043,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-26110","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-a-world","8":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
