For John, BLUF: Iran is in the runup to a presidential election in June and the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps is stiring up trouble so as to support those running who they favor. The leaking of a confidnetial taped interview with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From The Washington Free Beacon, by Mr Adam Kredo, 3 May 2021, 1:45 pm.
Here is the lede plus one:
Iran released a provocative new video over the weekend that depicts its military forces blowing up the United States Capitol building, a threat that comes as the Biden administration inches closer to providing Tehran with billions of dollars in economic sanctions relief.Foreign Minister Zarif said in the interview:The video debuted Sunday on Iranian state-controlled television before Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei delivered remarks, in which he praised the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the paramilitary force that has killed Americans, and celebrated IRGC leader Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a drone strike by the former Trump administration.
In the video clip, armed IRGC forces are seen marching before the U.S. Capitol’s famous dome explodes. It also shows Iranian forces marching on Jerusalem.
I believe Iran and the U.S. will never be friends as long as the Islamic Republic preserves its identity. Never will our issues with America be resolved.This is sad. All could brenefit if we were able to work together. However, the Guards of the Revolution see themselves with a God given mission and are not willing to let others stand in the way of their God-given mission.
I am hoping for a more secular Government after the 18 June Presidential Election in Iran. Perhaps then we can have more fruitful discussions and more peace in the Middle East.
