The arms embargo failed due to China & Russia, which has to do with the strategic accord between China & Iran. Russia supplies 21% of all arms sold in Mid-East. They have interests that the arms embargo is not extended.

The provisions that exist today aren’t enough to prevent Iran from reaching nuclear weapons. Iran has a tendency to cheat & hide the details of its program & slowly engage in activities that allow it to reach nuclear breakout capability.

Conventional thinking among int'l analysts shrug the expiration of the arms embargo arguing Iran does not have the funds to buy weapons. Tehran can pose a variety of threats if the arms embargo is lifted.

If the embargo is not extended, the U.S. will impose sanctions on any company that sells as much as a screw to Iran’s weapons manufacturing industry.

Iran got the lion’s share of JCPOA benefits to continue terror efforts & proxy wars across the globe.
Soleimani's elimination was a victory for the people of Iran, Muslims in the region & those who opposes terrorism.

Soleimani was a legitimate target.
We have to stop Iran's funding of terror, keep that funding away from the IRGC Quds Force. The funding of the Quds Force will shoot through the moon if the sanctions [UN arms embargo] are lifted.

So, #Iran's IRGC launches a drone attack in NE Syria, killing one American contractor and wounding several U.S. troops.

But MSM is hyped about a recent Saudi-Iran agreement and wants you to trust Tehran, the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism.

Think about that.

Biden & his admin claim they "will take all necessary measures to defend our people."

However, "Iran has launched 78 attacks on US positions in Syria since January 2021" with minimum response from the Biden admin.

Why? To revive Obama's failed nuke deal.

Iranian women know all too well, as all freedom loving Iranians do, that their true emancipation, democracy, freedom and liberty will only be achieved by the overthrow of this regime in its entirety.

The most common slogan in #IranRevolution identified in these protests is “Death to the dictator!” and “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the mullahs!”

I would like to thank @STRUANSTEVENSON for his important new book. I think it's very important to fight against the theocratic regime in #Iran & it's important to wake up all the people about what really is happening in Iran.

1)
With this thread I aim to raise attention about Twitter’s ongoing shadow-banning.

After a series of back-and-forth letters, @TwitterSupport informed me that my account “has been permanently marked as potentially sensitive.”

Any explanation? None.

It gets even more interesting:

“There is currently no way to appeal a decision by Twitter that permanently changes your account setting to Mark media you tweet as containing material that may be sensitive…”

3)
Through the years, Twitter has informed me of a few tweets they wanted deleted. I have complied every time.

My work focuses on Iran, the regime’s crimes and corruption, the West’s appeasement policy, and Iran’s network of apologists/lobbyists.

This has angered some people.
