Iran has been Hamas\u2019s primary backer for decades. They have provided them weapons. They have provided them training. They have provided them financial support. And so, in terms of broad complicity, we are very clear about a role for Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2023\/10\/09\/iran-support-hamas-training-weapons-israel\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The West Must Wake Up to Iran\u2019s Threat<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-230382 size-medium\" title=\"The Telegraph\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-Telegraph-300x55.jpg\" alt=\"The-Telegraph\" width=\"300\" height=\"55\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iranian regime was quick to congratulate Hamas when news first emerged on Saturday of its shocking attack on Israel. Iran\u2019s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, even issued a grotesque statement in support of the terrorist group\u2019s atrocities on social media, accompanied by a video of young concert-goers fleeing for their lives from Hamas gunmen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tehran has never made any secret of its genocidal intent towards the Jewish state. It has long backed, financially and militarily, proxy groups such as Hamas and Hizbollah that seek the country\u2019s destruction. In this case, however, its involvement may have run even deeper. Iranian intelligence officials have been accused of having had a direct role in planning and giving the green light to Hamas\u2019s latest attack.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But Iran had not changed. It remained one of the world\u2019s leading sponsors of terrorism, and there was widespread scepticism about whether its nuclear promises could be trusted. So Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement and later ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, one of the masterminds of the Iranian terror network. Sanctions were reimposed and a policy of punishing Tehran for its crimes seemed to have some practical effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/opinion\/2023\/10\/09\/israel-hamas-iran-hezbollah-netanyahu-palestine\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 8:00 AM CET<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why Khomeini Faces Growing Criticism Even Among Iranian Regime Loyalists<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-226857 size-medium\" title=\"Hassan_Rouhani_khomeini_Paris_28092020 (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hassan_Rouhani_khomeini_Paris_28092020-1-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Iran, IRGC, Iran Protests, Hassan Rouhani, Rouhani, president, khomeini\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hassan_Rouhani_khomeini_Paris_28092020-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hassan_Rouhani_khomeini_Paris_28092020-1-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hassan_Rouhani_khomeini_Paris_28092020-1-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hassan_Rouhani_khomeini_Paris_28092020-1-748x420.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hassan_Rouhani_khomeini_Paris_28092020-1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhy do most children of officials and revolutionaries harbor aversion and even hatred towards the revolution?
