The Iranian Court of Isfahan, has announced the opening of a case against Gholamshossein Karbaschi, former Mayor of Tehran. The file was opened after the attack of Karbaschi against the Iranian intervention in the Syrian conflict. Speaking during a pro-Rouhani event in Isfahan, Karbaschi said that he believes that Iran wants peace in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, but it cannot achieve this peace only “through giving money, purchasing weapons and killing and beating” (video on the top).
The Court of Isfahan accuses Karbaschi of having “insulted the Defenders of the Shrine”. In the websites close to the Pasdaran, it is also possible to find now an imagine of Gholamshossein Kerbaschi with a knife close to his neck (picture below).
It is the second time, in few days, in which the Iranian intervention in Syria is attacked: last week, another video was posted online, in which it was possible to see a student of Tabriz University, attacking the Pasdaran role in Syria in front of Hassan Abbasi, the ideologist of the Revolutionary Guards (Video).

Mehdi Tayeb, head of the Ammar Base – a body created to respond to the “soft war” – said that Iran needs to send weapons to the Houthi rebels, in order to conquer the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. For Tayeb, who is close to the Supreme Leader Khamenei, Tehran needs to send to Yemen surface-to-air missiles, permitting in this way to the Houthis to react to the attacks of the Saudi coalitions and to conquer cities like Riyadh and Jeddah. In the same speech, in front of other Iranian officials, Tayeb attacked the President Rouhani, saying that he has blocked suddenly three arms shipments to Houthis, in order to avoid crisis with United States.

The French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, just visited Iran for two days, with a large business delegation. During his visit in Tehran, he met with President Rouhani and Foreign Minister Zarif, and repeated Paris’s support to Iran Deal. But, while Ayrault was in Iran, the international media published the story about the new missile test realized by Tehran. Commenting the news, Ayrault said that “the test is contrary to the spirit of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231”.
Reacting to the words of Ayrault, the Iranian newspaper Kayhan – considered very close to the Supreme Leader Khamenei – attacked the Government, accusing Rouhani to bow to a hostile entity, giving to Paris lucrative business. The article also compared what happened with the “case of Sigmar Gabriel”, incumbent German Foreign Minister. Before visiting Tehran in October 2016, Gabriel said that “Iran should never undermine Israel’s existence”. Kayhan wrote that, in that case, Berlin was interfering in one of the key points of the Iranian foreign politics, and it was the duty of the Government to cancel the visit of Gabriel (but the visit was confirmed).
