The world is warned.  “Gallant: Iran has amassed enough uranium for 5 nuclear weapons,” Times of Israel, 5-4-23.

“Documents appear to show Iran’s interest in Syrian phosphates for uranium production,” Times of Israel, 5-4-23.

“Iran assembles allies for rocket attacks on Israel,” The Times, 5-4-23.

“Russia and Iran are upgrading their transport links,” The Economist, 5-4-23.

What is good enough for Russia is good enough for Venezuela.  “Iran and Venezuela set up direct shipping services to evade US sanctions,” Tradewinds, 5-4-23.

The Regime has been working on this for years.  “Iran state news outlet spreads antisemitic propaganda on social media, report says,” Times of Israel, 5-4-23.

Again we are reminded of the purpose of this blog–Iran does not act as a normal country, it is a revolutionary state, and the Regime displays with this news story that it is the only country in the world that takes / holds “property hostages” belonging to other countries (let alone human hostages–well, a few other countries also do that).  See “Iran has seized its second oil tanker in a week,” Quartz, 5-3-23.

Brothers in arms, but Syria is dependent on the Ayatollah and the Regime.  “Syria and Iran sign long-term oil and trade agreements,” AP, 5-3-23.

“Iran president visits Syria for first time since civil war,” DW, 5-3-23.

Considering the heavy price paid by Syria’s people from the crushing attacks by Iran’s snipers and soldiers, this headline is sick.  “Iran’s Raisi praises Assad ‘victory’ on landmark Syria visit,” AFP, 5-3-23.
