I'll be on @AlArabiya_Eng at 2PM ET discussing the Trump administration decision to mull over whether it designate all of #Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. i24news.tv/en/news/intern…
I joined Al-Arabiya to discuss the implications of the Trump administration's possible decision to list the entire IRGC as a terrorist organization. Here's a link to the video (Arabic). vid.alarabiya.net/2018/07/03/tkt…
What are the implications of the US designating all of #Iran’s #IRGC as a terrorist organization and what message does it send to protesters inside Iran? I discuss on @AlArabiya_Eng (Arabic) matthewrjbrodsky.com/21351/the-impl…

Israel’s Operation #NorthernShield, which recently exposed #Hezbollah’s cross-border attack tunnels, has prompted the perennial question: Are #Israel and #Hezbollah about to go to war in #Lebanon? I explore it in this @AlArabiya_Eng⁩ article & below 👇🏼 english.alarabiya.net/en/features/20…
The tunnels #Hezbollah burrowed are meant to facilitate the movement and infiltration into northern #Israel of hundreds of its fighters as part of its well-established military doctrine that calls for “the conquest of the Galilee.” jcpa.org/article/hizbul…
Tunnels aren't the main threat #Israel faces from #Lebanon. Before making #NorthernShield public @netanyahu met @SecPompeo to pass a msg to the Lebanese authorities: Stop #Hezbollah’s efforts to acquire to precision-guided missiles or Israel will act. jpost.com/Israel-News/Ne…

Well done, @FoxNews. When there’s an issue with an ally, you were sure to book Rand Paul. He has a predetermined narrative for all things foreign policy - regardless of any development. His is a policy that would weaken America.
Rand Paul says we should never sell arms to any country unless it lessens the risk to the US and that selling arms to #SaudiArabia to use in #Yemen puts the US in greater risk. That is an absurd reading of the Middle East that demonstrates a lack of understanding.
Rand Paul said he’s furious over what Saudi Arabia did to #Khashoggi, claiming we should punish them on humanitarian grounds. But there’s never been a conflict or number of civilian casualties that he would support acting against, including selling weapons. It’s a double standard

 @JZarif claims #Iran’s regime has a “four-point plan” for #Yemen.

Let’s take a look at the specifics:
2)
 @JZarif claims #Iran’s regime urges “ceasefire” in Yemen. On the ground, it’s a different story.
“Shaabani told Fars that Iran not only supported Yemen’s Houthis with weaponry but gave them directives to attack two Saudi Arabian oil tankers on July 25.”

 “… an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) officer, known by his nom de guerre ‘Abu Ali,’ led a 52-man Houthi armored assault convoy armed with Katyusha missile launchers…”

The nationwide strike by the teachers takes place as truck drives wage their own strike & the bazaar is protesting. The main problem is the Supreme Leader & the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp (#IRGC) as they steal the wealth of the entire nation. Thus people call for #FreeIran
The teachers' strike is taking place, in addition to Capital Tehran, in Isfahan, Shiraz, Karaj, Ahvaz, Kermanshah, Bushehr, Hamedan, Sanandaj, Ilam, Ardebil, Baneh, Saqez, Babol, Sari, Yazd & Marivan to name a few. #Iranian_teachers_on_strike is the expansion of #IranUprising.
In many cities in #Iran, such as Isfahan and Shiraz, the students have joined the teachers in support of their demands. In some cities, like Sanandaj, the parents of the students have joined the teachers' strike. #Iranian_teachers_on_strike

 Let’s talk about yet another biased @NYTimes piece aiming to completely cloak #Iran’s destructive role in the Yemen war. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
2)
 @NYTimes will only provide one side of the story.

And by using terms such as “young fighters” & “wounded comrade,” the writer attempts to gain the reader’s sympathy for members of an #Iran-funded terrorist militia group called the Houthis.
3)
 In this piece, never does the @NYTimes mention how #Iran’s regime is the main reason why the scene in Yemen remains a “bloody stalemate”…

#Iran’s Air Corridor To Hezbollah: Background And Briefing On Latest Claims:
A Fars Air Qeshm flight Boeing 747 touched down in Beirut at 2:04 pm on October 16.

Fars Air Qeshm’s Boeing 747 has been implicated before in suspicious activity. In September FoxNews also reported that the same plane had departed from an air force base in Tehran on July 9 and also stopped in Damascus before continuing on to Beirut.

The U.S.'s proposal for an accord with #Russia over #Syria, the purpose of which is to get #Iran out, is broadly known from reporting. Folks familiar with the Syria policy discussions clarified some details. <Thread below>
As an aside: the Syria policy seems to have been taken away from the State Department, wholly into the White House, specifically into the hands of John Bolton, in the run-up to this summit with Putin.
The U.S. will propose:
- Withdrawal of #Iran's personnel (inc. #Hizballah) from Syria, *not* in a "phased" manner but as Stage One of the process;
- After six months, with verification Iran is gone, the U.S. will shut down its bases, not just Tanf, all in the SDF/PKK area

While some thieves see their hands amputated in #Iran, reports indicate the brother of VP Eshaq Jahangiri, jailed for economic corruption, was able to downgrade his bail from $1.8 billion to $300 million & will soon be released.
#IranProtests rose against such #CORRUPTION.
WARNING - CONTAINS VULGAR LANGUAGE
#Iran - Tehran's Section 8 municipality has ordered street-vendors to pay $1,200 for the 15 days remaining to the Iranian calendar new year or else their goods will be confiscated.
#CORRUPTION
More reason for #IranProtests.
Systematic #corruption in #Iran‌ under the mullahs' rule:
Video shows man opening "Made in Iran" medicine only to find no pills inside...
More reason for #IranProtests to bring about #RegimeChange.
