US picking a fight with Islamists in Iran whilst looking for mines in the Persian Gulf

The situation in the Persian Gulf is heating up.

We have now learned that U.S. minesweepers have been ordered to follow the U.S.S. Eisenhower. This is an even more ominous signal of preparation for military action, since such ships would not normally accompany a strike force on routine deployments.

And still the Iranian opposition does not care about how the Islamists will use this scenario to keep themselves in power. The US will not talk to the Iranian opposition and will instead deal with a force it can fight with, not a force that does not want to fight, but wants to write about what is right for Iran.

Russian and Chinese waste more time on Iran

Future historians will judge this episode of Iranian history with great humour. The Chinese and the Russians have been playing a game of charade, with the rest of the world when it comes to Iran.

The sanctions impose limits on a Russian project to build Iran's first nuclear power station in the southwestern city of Bushehr.

The people of Iran in opposition need to take charge, and let the world know that the new Iran is in the oppositions' hand, not in the hands of Russians, Chinese, and their proxies in Iran.
