UPDATE: 9:0<\/span>0 PM<\/span><\/p>\n Agence France Presse (AFP) –\u00a0The United States voiced concern Wednesday at reported arms shipments by adversary Iran to Sudan’s army, which is locked in a deadly war with paramilitaries allegedly receiving Emirati and Russian support.<\/p>\n John Godfrey, the US ambassador to Sudan, said Washington was “deeply concerned by external support” to both the Sudan Armed Forces and rival Rapid Support Forces, known by the acronyms SAF and RSF.<\/p>\n “There are reports about resumed ties between Sudan and Iran that could reportedly include Iranian materiel support to SAF, which is also very troubling and a source of great concern for us,” Godfrey told reporters.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n DUBAI, Feb 21 (Reuters) – Iran’s nuclear chief on Wednesday dismissed a suggestion that the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi would visit Iran next month but instead invited Grossi to a conference in Tehran in May.<\/p>\n Grossi said this week Iran was continuing to enrich uranium well beyond the needs for commercial nuclear use and said he planned to\u00a0visit Tehran<\/a>\u00a0next month to tackle “drifting apart” relations between the IAEA and the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n But Mohammad Eslami said a visit next month was unlikely due to a “busy schedule” without giving further clarification. “Iran’s interactions with the IAEA continue as normal and discussions are held to resolve ambiguities and develop cooperation,” he said at a weekly press conference in Tehran.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n UPDATE: 5:3<\/span>0 PM<\/span><\/p>\n The beleaguered Supreme Leader of the Iranian regime, Ali Khamenei, is engineering another sinister consolidation of his control, marking a perilous chapter for the ruling theocracy.<\/p>\n With the regime gearing up for its so-called parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections in March, the decision to bar long-standing loyalists, such as former President\u00a0Hassan Rouhani<\/a>, acts as a stark warning of Tehran’s growing instability. This exclusion extends even to notorious figures like\u00a0Mostafa Pourmohammadi<\/a>, a former Minister of Justice involved in the horrific political prisoner\u00a0massacre of 1988<\/a>.<\/p>\n Since its inception in 1979, the theocracy, steeped in election manipulation, fraud, and corruption, has ruthlessly extinguished even the faintest flicker of peaceful political activity. The Iranian people, burdened by the weight of suppressed rights over four long decades, have chosen to wage an all-encompassing resistance against a regime that inexorably contracts into a tightening grip of tyranny.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a><\/p>\n Today, on Wednesday, February 21, a wave of protests surged through several cities in Iran. In Ahvaz, southwest Iran, retirees from the oil industry gathered for a protest demanding higher pensions in accordance with the country’s laws governing retirement benefits.<\/p>\n Furthermore, workers of the Iran National Steel Industrial Group (INSIG) continued their strikes, objecting to the dismissal of their colleagues and the neglect of their demands by the authorities. The rallying cry echoed, “A worker may die, but will not accept humiliation” as they voiced their grievances against unfair labor practices.<\/p>\n February 21\u2014Ahvaz, southwest #Iran<\/a> — People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) February 21, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nUS Voices Alarm On Alleged Iran Role In Sudan<\/h3>\n
