“Houthis say they launched missile at Israeli-owned tanker in the Red Sea,” Al Arabiya, 9-1-25.

“Iran’s currency hits new low as ‘snapback’ looms over nuclear programme,” Al Jazeera, 9-1-25.

Keep in mind that Russia and China agreed to the inclusion of the snapback provisions in writing several years ago.  So for them to declare now it violates international law is invalid on its face, as they have already “made” international law by signing a treaty.  See “China, Russia join Iran in rejecting European move to restore sanctions on Tehran,” Reuters, 9-1-25.  That is “International Law 101.”  The two powers agreed to the snapback provision several years ago to keep the West then from lowering the hammer on Iran, and now they continue in their quest to delay, delay, delay.

“Experts reveal why Iran is attacking Diaspora Jews, warn that West ‘doesn’t understand fanaticism’,” JPost, 9-1-25.  “[T]he IRGC sees the Jewish Diaspora as indistinguishable from Israel. … [T]he regime’s hostility is not just against Israel but also against Jews. When Iranian officials deny the Holocaust, this is not rhetoric but part of a genuine animus against the Jewish people. … Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s followers are true believers in an ideology that sees world Jewry as an enemy of Islam, in part because of the Diaspora’s connection to Israel. “The compass of their ideology is that there is no place for Zionism under the sun,” said the ex-official. … [T]he Iranian force sees the effort to harm Diaspora Jews as a legitimate part of its war conduct. The IRGC’s perspective is that the Jewish Diaspora is a soft target that would hurt Israel because the Jewish state holds itself responsible for their security. Westerners often don’t understand the Islamic Republic’s motivations, according to the security official, because it requires understanding the Jihadist mentality in which hate and faith are the basis, rather than pragmatism or opportunism. “People in the West think in a Western rational way and don’t understand the fanatical ideology behind it,” said the ex-official.”
