UN rips ‘deeply troubling’ Iran for executing at least 56 people since start of war: ‘Has no place in our world

Alex Oliveira / NEW YORK POST

The bloodthirsty Iranian regime has executed at least 56 people on dubious national security charges since March, according to the United Nations — which blasted Iran for the “deeply troubling” practice.

Twenty-seven of the 56 were linked to the widespread January protests against the country’s despotic regime and brutal treatment of its citizens.

Another roughly 100 people are believed to currently be awaiting execution on similar charges, according to the BBC.

The barbaric executions — which are often carried out in public — are part of a widespread tactic “to instill fear among the population and suppress dissent,” UN human rights chief Volker Türk said in a recent scathing statement.

“Such punishment has no place in our world,” Türk said. 

The chief also raised alarm about the judicial process that leads to capital punishment — saying trials and due process were nearly non-existent in Iran.

Trump says Strait of Hormuz could be reopened Wednesday after touting 'very good' Iran negotiations

On Tuesday night before getting onto Air Force One, President Donald Trump told reporters that "a lot of progress" had been made in negotiations with Iran, adding that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could come "tomorrow or the next day."

WHAT TO KNOW

• As President Donald Trump seeks another deal with Iran, some analysts estimate the U.S. has used more than half of its stockpiles of certain key munitions in the conflict. Though experts say current inventories remain sufficient, they warn the bigger risk is reduced readiness as replenishing stockpiles could take years.

• The U.S. continues to enforce a naval blockade on Iranian ports, while fighting in and around the Strait of Hormuz has sharply reduced shipping through one of the world's busiest energy corridors.

• Bloomberg reports that Iran is weighing a proposal to allow European countries to help clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, though no final decision has been made.

• Trump and other administration officials are saying a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz could be as close as today or tomorrow. Read more, and see videos here.

[[[ With Iran and Oman reportedly near to making their own deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with both countries collecting “service fees,” and with the Saudi's seemingly now part of the alliance referred to as “STEP”... as in Saudi Arabia, (Israel hating) Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan,,,we are being made fools of as Saudi Arabia, was one of those this past weekend who told Trump NOT to keep bombing Iran. 

 

We are going to lose this war if Trump doesn't put on his big boy pants and STOP with the on again, off again bombing threats and does what needs to be done...or at the very least stop telling Israel 'NO.' ]]]

Op-ed:

From Vietnam to Iran Questionable Decisions Made

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com 

 

...And whether some like it or not...no matter which side of the political aisle one is currently on...previous wars both won and lost have shown that when wars are fought minus ground troops peace is usually not achieved. Why so... because airstrikes, missiles, and drones can do only so much. Yes, they do blow things up thus making certain needed things unavailable to the enemy., but bombings alone cannot secure areas, control the population, or secure a war's much needed objective of the enemy completely and “unconditionally surrendering.”

Simply, for Iran not to have yet officially surrendered (which was Trump's original objective that he foolishly strayed away from)...whether it be unconditionally or otherwise... in spite of our overwhelming military victories Iran has incurred...still means that we...that the United States of America...has yet to win this war. Why so...because Iran and its regime has outlasted and outmaneuvered President Trump courtesy of its simple ability to endure, and shift the war outward to encompass its fellow Arab neighbors while also now starting to move outward from there...outward even into the Red Sea at last report...

Trump gives Iran ‘last chance’ to sign deal before ‘decapitation’ — sets target date for Strait of Hormuz to reopen 

Caitlin Doornbos / NEW YORK POST

WASHINGTON — President Trump declared on Monday he’s giving Iran one “last chance before decapitation” – betting on lucky No. 13 for his final ultimatum.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed negotiations are underway to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as Tuesday after he called off a large-scale “World War II” intensity military operation over the weekend to give Iran a final chance to avoid destruction.

“This is a last chance,” Trump said. “This is the last chance for them to sign a good document.”

“I want to give them every last chance before decapitation,” he added.

The president has given Iran at least a dozen chances since the war began on Feb. 28, threatening strikes or imposing deadlines for major actions by Tehran only to reverse course or extend time limits, according to a review by The Post of prior statements.

This includes backing down from operations to blow up power plants or moving self-imposed deadlines for military strikes.
