The Kuwaiti daily Al-Seyassah reported on 11 October that the heads of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Qods Force are pursuing the affairs of the militias connected to the IRGC in Iraq.

Last week, massive protests emerged all across Iraq, as the public expressed outrage at widespread corruption, wealth stratification, and a general sense of public alienation from matters of vital importance to the nation.

As tensions continue to escalate between Iran and the United States, it is increasingly clear that their competition has implications for the entire power dynamic in the Middle East.

The biggest anti-regime group in Iran has presented damning evidence that Tehran was responsible for the attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia on September 14.

On September 26, in the United Kingdom House of Commons, the Foreign Secretary of the UK, Dominic Raab, called on Iran’s regime to respect international norms and regulations.

On Monday, it was reported that the Stena Impero, a British-flagged vessel captured by Iran in July, had finally been cleared for released. Its seizure was preceded by threats of retaliation from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after British Royal Marines seized an Iranian supertanker as it was passing the British territory of Gibraltar en route to Syria.
