Lately destroyed Sunni mosque in Tehran by the regime

Mullahs Increase Persecution of Sunni Muslims in Iran
26 MAY 2020

By Pooya Stone

The mullahs in Iran have increased their persecution of Sunni Muslims in southwestern and southeast Iran, where many Iranian Sunnis live.

In fact, one Iranian official actually called for the Grand Sunni Mosque in Zahedan to be destroyed, tweeting on May 24, the eve of Eid al-Fetr, that it is a “house of corruption”. Mohammed Bagher Tabatabayi, Advisor to the General Directorate of Islamic Culture and Guidance of Khorasan Razavi Province, deleted his tweet after it caused national outrage.

Roughly, one-tenth of Iranians are Sunnis, but they are treated outrageously by the regime. They are not allowed to have a mosque in Tehran and their mosques in several other cities have been destroyed. Human rights groups report that several Sunni teachers, students, and activists have been summoned, interrogated, and arrested since the start of the Iranian New Year on March 20, despite the coronavirus crisis.

The human rights network of Kurdistan reported that at least 10 Sunnis in Sanandaj, all students of the Ibrahim Khalilollah Mosque’s Dar al-Uloom religious school, were arrested during Ramadan. While Sunni cleric Ali Moradi and his son Mohammad were summoned by the Sanandaj Intelligence Agency at the start of Ramadan.

The Baluch Activists Campaign said on May 21 that Akram Kuhi, the temporary leader of Friday prayers in Peshamag, was summoned by the Zahedan Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). He was interrogated about the religious school of Anvar al-Haramein, as well as its employees, teachers, and students. The report said that four Iranian Sunnis from this school were summoned and interrogated in September.

The Human Rights News Agency reported that Sunni cleric Shahdad Zehi was summoned by the intelligence agency and interrogated by security agents on April 25.While Sunni activists Maktoom Askani and Abdul Rauf Dashti were summoned and interrogated by the Zahedan IRGC on April 22.

Sunni religious teacher Abdolrashid Rigi, from Sistan and Baluchestan Province, was arrested on March 26, for supposedly criticizing the regime during his Friday prayer sermons.At the time, lockdowns were in place because the coronavirus crisis was hitting its initial peak. It is clear that the regime saw fit to increase its persecution of religious minorities, political activists, and civil rights activists, even during a pandemic that was posing a massive threat to public health and the economy.

Other reports say that Sunni clerics were pressured to comply with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over when Eid al-Fitr should be.

[--Redacted--]

Your Muslim friend Iran is persecuting Sunni Muslims so you need to save Muslims in a systematic genocide of Muslims. Your priorities are misplaced, the real LYNCHING of MUSLIMS is happening in Iran and not India.

Are you afraid to attack Iran who is butchering Sunnis in open and destroying Sunni mosques? :nono:

Bushehr port: Seven ships ablaze in latest Iran mystery fires
15 July 2020 Middle East

At least seven boats have caught fire at a shipyard in the port of Bushehr in southern Iran, state media report.

The head of the local crisis management organisation told Irna news agency that the blaze had been contained and that no casualties had been reported.

The cause was not clear, but it is the latest in a series of mysterious incidents in Iran in recent weeks.

They have included explosions and fires at a missile facility, a power plant, a medical clinic and a nuclear complex.

The incidents have led to speculation about a campaign of sabotage.

Iran denies reports of fresh explosion
What is behind mysterious fires at Iran sites?
On Monday, there was a fire at an industrial zone near the north-eastern city of Mashhad. Officials said six gas storage tanks caught fire, and that one exploded.

The previous day, a fire broke out at a petrochemical facility in the south-western Mahshahr area which was blamed on an oil leak.

And on Saturday, several gas cylinders exploded inside the basement of an apartment building in Tehran, the capital's fire department said.

Iranian officials have said they are looking into whether sabotage by foreign powers or domestic opposition groups may have been the cause of earlier blasts at the Natanz uranium enrichment plant on 2 July and the Khojir missile production facility on 26 June.

In 2010, a computer virus widely believed to have been developed by the United States and Israel was used to attack machinery at Natanz.

Someone did IKMKB again...😱😬🤐😁😂

Who killed Iran’s nuclear mastermind … and why now?



Clearly, it would be naive to believe there was no link between the decision to assassinate one of the main figures of the Iranian nuclear program, and the timing — in the twilight of the Trump presidency. Fakhrizadeh had long been a marked man for those who wanted to halt Iran’s nuclear military ambitions. However, the elimination of one individual, as important as he was, won’t curb those ambitions. At worst it is a setback that will require regrouping rather than starting from scratch; after all, an accumulated knowledge prevails among the Iranian scientific community. This may indicate that the timing of Fakhrizadeh’s killing is at least as important as the target itself, and suggests that it is a move to disrupt any attempt by the incoming Biden administration from returning to the JCPOA nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1, and removing the sanctions on Iran.

negotiations between IRAN, EU and US may take another two years, right now sanctions still exist, so no trade can be done in $.

among many other factors, sanctions on Iran seems to have pushed the oil prices down too.

US flies two B-52s over Persian Gulf amid tensions with Iran

"Potential adversaries should understand that no nation on earth is more ready and capable of rapidly deploying additional combat power in the face of any aggression,” said McKenzie, who is head of Central Command. “We do not seek conflict, but we must remain postured and committed to respond to any contingency or in opposition to any aggression.”

With eye on Iran, Israel tests missile defense system

Jerusalem, Dec 15 (AP) Israel''s Defense Ministry said Tuesday it successfully conducted a series of live fire drills with its multi-range missile-defense system, providing protection against threats posed by arch-enemy Iran and its proxies along Israel''s northern and southern borders.
Defense officials said it was the first time they have conducted an integrated test bringing together the various components.

They are the “Arrow,” which intercepts long-range missiles; “David''s Sling,” meant to shoot down medium-range missiles; and the “Iron Dome,” which has been used for years to defend against incoming rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.
