22 August 2017 By Heshmat Alavi  The military phase of the fight against ISIS is winding down  after the liberation of Mosul , and the battle for the nearby  town of Tal Afar  is predicted to end soon. This has provided an opportunity for Iraq to begin distancing itself from the influence gained by  Iran  following the disastrous 2003 war , and returning to its true Arabic heritage.Iraq was known as a melting pot where Arabs, Kurds  and Turkmens lived alongside and in mixed societies for centuries. Prior to Iran gaining its disastrous sway across Mesopotamia, this was a land where the majority of Shiites lived and prospered with their Sunni, Christian, Yazidi and all other religious minority brothers. Has not the time arrived for  Iraq  to regain its true position as part of the Arab world, and rid its soil of the meddling of Iran’s clerics?

OPINION: COUPLE US SANCTIONS WITH MIDDLE EAST EXPULSION OF IRAN by Shahriar Kia 16 August 2017 Riyadh Daily, 16 August 2017 - The Iranian regime is attempting to secure a corridor through Iraq , Syria , and Lebanon , providing a supply route for its numerous terrorist proxies in the region. Iran ’s clandestine nuclear and ballistic missile drive, support for terrorism and domestic crackdown are all aimed at maintaining the Tehran’s fascist mullahs in power and pursue their regional policies.

By Jubin Katiraie August 2017 29 years ago these days, in  Iran  under the mullahs’ regime, the  massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners , mainly members, and supporters of the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) had engulfed all of Iran. The intensity and speed of this massacre were so severe that not only PMOI/MEK families, but all other families of prisoners sought information about their loved ones. No authorities would provide answers, however.

By Heshmat Alavi 7 August 2017 Thanks to years of Western appeasement in the face of  Iran’s belligerence  across the  Middle East , evidence of Tehran’s dangerous footprints are now visible in several countries across the region, including even Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. The Trump administration , however, has made it quite vivid its adoption of a firm approach. This stance, signaled in the historic May conference in Riyadh, is long overdue and should be enhanced by Washington supporting the Iranian people’s desire for  regime change .

BY HESHMAT ALAVI AUGUST 2, 2017 President Obama's overtures to Tehran were disastrous. The Trump Administration must act now to stop Iran from creating a functioning nuclear weapon, but it may already prove too late.

Heshmat Alavi      JUL 6, 2017 With developments regarding Iran and the Middle East on fast forward recently, voices are heard speaking of winds of change in Iran. Iran’s society, described as a powder keg due to social discontent, is literally simmering. And after far too many years, the international community is gradually but surely realizing how appeasement will only yield further destruction. Catapulting events further is Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s failure to engineer the recent presidential election to unify his regime for the tsunamis ahead.
