It remains to be seen whether #Iran will temper its behavior after the deal with #SaudiArabia or if it will embarrass the guarantor #China and relapse into its old ways, says @JackRosenNYC, President @AJCongress.

Full statement🧵⤵️: /1
The agreement between #SaudiArabia -#Iran to restore diplomatic ties renews debate about the future of peace between #Israel and Arab states, Iran’s malign influence in the region, and #America’s role in the Middle East and ties with traditional regional allies-- @JackRosenNYC /2
#AmericanJewishCongress recognizes 🇸🇦 rationale in severing diplomatic ties with #Iran in Jan 2016. Extremists linked to #IRGC+#Basij stormed & burned #Saudi missions, in violation of intl law & as an attempt to exacerbate tensions to advance 🇮🇷’s extreme ideological agenda. /3

Reports suggest that chemical poisonings occurred in 116 separate schools--primarily girls' schools--in #Iran today. It’s difficult to imagine a scenario wherein the regime isn’t complicit in failing to protect these children. Here’s why: (1)
#مسمومیت_دانشآموزان
Officials have blamed the poisonings on foreign actors. Others have suggested the attacks were the work of domestic groups who either aimed to punish girls sympathetic to the #Mahsa_Amini movement or sought to discourage girls from going to school. (2)

reuters.com/world/middle-e…
It's unclear why--if foreign actors are indeed behind ongoing poisonings--the regime has not deployed the surveillance and security capabilities that it used to violently suppress protests during the #Mahsa_Amini movement to protect Iranian girls. (3)

NEW | The #Iranian regime will likely keep the mandatory hijab law but look for new, and perhaps more effective, ways to enforce it rather than using the morality patrol. Read CTP and @TheStudyofWar’s full update here:

criticalthreats.org/analysis/iran-…
The regime might expand an Orwellian surveillance-punishment model relying on collective punishment through shutting down non-compliant businesses and remote punishments, such as seizing financial assets in state banks, as alternatives to the morality patrol.
The Iranian regime is likely in a mounting confrontation with citizens in #Izeh, Khuzestan Province.

The #Iranian regime has likely deployed its #Artesh Ground Forces to suppress ongoing protests surrounding #MahsaAmini’s death. Here’s why it matters: 1/5
An Iranian official and state-affiliated media confirmed that an Artesh Ground Forces officer died in clashes with protesters in Khorasan Razavi Province, corroborating social media reports that Iranian leadership had deployed the Artesh to crack down on demonstrations. 2/5
The Artesh Ground Forces’ deployment could signal limited bandwidth of other security units—like the #Basij and #LEC—as the regime continues to crack down on nation-wide protests. 3/5

Yesterday, #Iran Intl TV which is supposed to be an opposition media published an article written by pro-#IRGC Morteza AbbasZadeh (#Morteza313 or Azim or Azematt) but under a fake name.They used a nickname for him to hide the fact that he is anti-#Saudi & a #Basij militiaman! ImageImageImage
The article written by Morteza Abbas Zadeh is full of disinformation. For example he has falsely represented Tondar-69 ballistic missiles as HQ-2J SAM system. It is highly possible that he has written it on order of #IRGC in-order to cover-up the security scandal in #Natanz! ImageImage
Here are tweets of Morteza Abbas-Zadeh against #SaudiArabia in support of #Houthi rebels in #Yemen. It is sad to see @IranIntl which is being funded by #SaudiArabia is promoting someone who supports #IRGC & writes against #KSA!

This is not for first time that terrorists of the Islamic Regime are destroying graveyards where none-Muslims or enemies of extremist Islam are buried in #Iran. It started with destruction of tomb of #RezaShah the Great, founder of modern #Iran by Ayatollah Khalkhali in 1979: ImageImage
#Basij militiamen who are equivalent of Sunni #ISIL are frequently attacking & destroying graves of Jews, Christians & none Muslims in #Iran. One of recent examples took place in #Isfahan. Basijis stormed #Armenian graveyard of the city & destroyed all gravestones on 19/12/2019. Image
