Iran gives Trump chance to restore lost U.S. credibility in Middle East

Posted on by isjcommitttee
By: Alejo Vidal-Quadras for UPI After the unexpected election of Donald Trump as president of the United States of America, a new reality emerges not only for Americans but also for Europeans, who have been the most reliable and trustworthy allies of the United States in modern history, particularly during and after the Second World War. And with new realities, come new opportunities. A case in point is Iran, a very aggressive enemy of the United States for the past four decades.

Terrorism and Iran’s influence on instability in the Middle East – University of Picardy Jules Verne

Posted on by isjcommitttee
Speech by Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras in the international forum "Relations between the EU and Iran" at the University of Picardy Jules Verne, Amiens 7 of November 2016 Terrorism emanating from Islamic fundamentalism is now "terrorism without borders". The civilized world, with all its values and achievements, is facing an unprecedented challenge and a very serious risk. If the urgency of the problem is not in question, an appropriate response will still prove elusive for policymakers. Clearly it is not a confrontation between the West and Islam, with over 1.7 billion followers. It is the...

Le monde civilisé, avec toutes ses valeurs et acquis, fait face à un défi sans précédent et un péril gravissime. Si l'urgence du problème n'est pas en cause, une réponse appropriée s'avère pourtant pressant pour les responsables politiques. Il est clair qu'il ne s'agit pa...

Departure of the final group of Camp Liberty residents from Iraq

Posted on by isjcommitttee
This evening the last group of Camp Liberty residents, members of the main Iranian opposition, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MeK), left Iraq safely for Albania.

This is a major defeat for the mullahs and the final failure of its repeated criminal attempts to massacre all the residents in Camp Liberty. It is also a historic victory for the Iranian resistance and the Iranian people and all supporters of democracy and freedom in Iran which was achieved only due to the steadfastness of Ashraf and Libert...

Posted on by isjcommitttee
On behalf of the International Committee in Search of Justice (ISJ), I would like to express our deepest condolences to the victims of the attack in Nice, their families and to the people and Government of France.

It is quite clear that Syria has become the breeding ground of Islamic extremists and as l...

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE – Attaque terroriste à Nice, France

Posted on by isjcommitttee
Au nom du Comité international In Search of Justice (ISJ), je tiens à exprimer nos plus sincères condoléances aux victimes de l'attentat à Nice, à leurs familles et au peuple et au gouvernement de la France. Nous sommes choqués par ce crime terrible et nous sommes tous aux côtés de la France. Le Fondamentalisme islamique, qu'ils soit sunnite sous la bannière d'ISIS (Daesh) ou chiite parrainée par le régime iranien, a été la principale source d'inspiration pour de telles attaques terroristes brutales et doit être confronté à ses racines. Il est tout à fait clair que la Syrie est devenu...
