Russian President Vladimir Putin meets with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in Iran

The Russo-Iranian alliance comes to Europe

December 1, 2022 | Oved Lobel

The idea that a wedge could ever be driven between Russia and Iran, in Syria or anywhere else, has been tested for decades and proved definitively false. The historical pattern and the breadth and depth of Russo-Iranian cooperation in every sphere demonstrates quite clearly that there’s no quid pro quo and that the relationship is not transactional.

Iran’s revealing submission to the Australian parliament

November 23, 2022 | Oved Lobel

It is unclear whether this submission reflects a total lack of self-awareness by the Islamic Republic about how hideous its behaviour appears domestically and internationally, or whether it is a deliberate attempt to mock Australia’s stance and inquiry. Either way, the Iranian submission to Australia’s inquiry is itself a strong argument for serious sanctions against Iran.

“We have no reason to be enemies”: Israeli women in solidarity with the Iranian protest movement

October 27, 2022 | Tammy Reznik

Whilst it may not be surprising in today’s post #METOO era to see women around the world rallying together against the oppressive state of Iran, the support coming out of Israel, a country that is not recognised as a legitimate one by Iran, is by no means insignificant.

Iranian Lies Matter

October 25, 2022 | Ran Porat

Australia has a clear national interest in supporting increased pressure on Teheran – both as a message to the freedom-aspiring Iranian people, and as a way to hold accountable their oppressors for their serial human rights violations, their illegal nuclear weapons program, their rogue behaviour and the miasma of lies that facilitates all three.

Western Silence on Iran’s Material Support for Russia is Deafening

October 4, 2022 | Oved Lobel

Nobody seems willing to respond seriously to global Iranian aggression, especially its active participation in the most serious challenge to international order in decades, even when Tehran is economically weakened, its terrorism apparatus degraded and, most importantly, doesn’t have a nuclear weapon. Imagine what the world will be like when it does.
