IRAN IS TESTING PRESIDENT TRUMP: HERE’S WHAT HE SHOULD DO. By  Raymond Tanter   and  Edward Stafford Harassment  of U.S. Naval forces by Iranian forces in international waters of the Persian Gulf reveals that Iran’s leadership is prepared to test the new administration: on its publicly stated commitment to confront Iran when it fails to meet its obligations under the  JCPOA  (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), when it violates United Nations sanctions, or when it engages in destabilizing activities in the region. Given the other actors involved with the JCPOA and U.N. sanctions on ballistic missiles, Washington has only a few unilateral options for confronting Iranian misbehavior.

IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL DILEMMAS FUELING ELECTIONS STANDOFF Ahead of elections later this year, Iranian politics remains riven by disagreement over the 2015 nuclear deal. By Heshmat Alavi  Tensions are intensifying quickly in Iranian politics. Recent comments by senior U.S. officials, such as  Ambassador Nikki Haley  and CENTCOM chief  General Joseph Votel , explaining the threats posed by Tehran have resulted in an intensified domestic political debate. The atmosphere has sparked a major standoff within the regime prior to sensitive presidential elections in May.

ranian media are waging an online war against an opposition group   - some whose members live in exile in Albania - launching new websites in Albanian to influence local opinion. By Fatjona Mejdini he People's Mujahedin of Iran is a controversial resistance group. Founded in 1965 as a left-leaning opposition to the Shah’s regime, it turned against the Islamic Republic following the 1979 Revolution. The US listed it as a terrorist organisation in 1997 but it was removed from the black list in 2012 after it renounced violence. The Albanian authorities have declined to give the exact number of MEK members and their families who found refuge in the country, but estimates suggest there are about 2,000.

Reformists in Iran are under pressure , detainees face torture and abuse, and people are being executed at an "alarming" rate, a UN monitor studying human rights in the tightly controlled country says. The bleak picture presented to the UN Human Rights Council on March 13 comes ahead of a May 19 presidential election in Iran. "All reports indicate a high level of control over citizens and that democratic space is severely limited," Asma Jahangir, the UN special rapporteur for Iran, told the council in Geneva. Jahangir did not refer directly to the election, but she noted that three opposition figures who publicly challenged the official results of Iran's 2009 presidential election -- former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Musavi; his wife, university professor Zahra Rahnavard; and reformist cleric Mehdi Karrubi -- have been kept under house arrest for nearly six years without being formally charged.
