There is a clear reason for this ambition. Expanding the power of the IRGC serves the interests of both Raisi and his 82-year-old mentor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic.

  • Russia Reform Monitor No. 2389 | American Foreign Policy Council
    Russia Reform Monitor No. 2389 June 1, 2020 Matt Maldonado, Ilan I. Berman Related Categories: Democracy and Governance; Human Rights and Humanitarian Issues; Global Health; Russia; North Africa HOW RUSSIA IS HELPING LIBYA'S HAFTAR U.S. military officials and national security experts have accused Russia of fanning the flames in Libya's civil war by supplying strongman Khalifa Haftar with both warplanes and manpower while masking the origin of that assistance. The North African conflict has widened in recent months after Turkey began supporting the UN-recognized Government of National Accord in their fight against Haftar, the leader of the Russia-backed Libyan National Army. Haftar controls large swaths of eastern Libya and is trying to dislodge the GNA from the capital city, Tripoli. In addition to releasing images of what are being called disguised Russian MiG-29 warplanes and other aircraft in southern Libya, U.S. sources also claim that Wagner, a Russian mercenary outfit that has gained notoriety for its activities in Ukraine and Syria, has deployed personnel to assist Haftar and his forces. Russia also appears to be providing Haftar and his men with advanced anti-aircraft systems. When Turkish-backed Libyan forces recently captured the al-Watiyah airbase in the country's west, they discovered a disabled unit of the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile system. The Pantsir-S1, known by NATO forces as the SA-22 Greyhound, has been a staple of military forces loyal to President Bashar Assad in Syria for the past several years. The system is capable of shooting down drones, and has been a nuisance for Turkish planes over Libya.

It was demonstrated that Ahmadinejad indeed called for the destruction of Israel and his words were not misrepresented. The previous study concluded with the observation by Michael Axworthy, who served as head of the Iran Section of Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 1998 to 2000: “The formula had been used before by Khomeini and others, and had been translated by representatives of the Iranian regime as ‘wiped off the map.’ Some of the dispute that has arisen over what exactly Ahmadinejad meant by it has been rather bogus.

    2 Fall 2014 Quarterly Newsletter No.25 In The Name Of God First Words Indigenous knowledge, a solution for compatibility with environmental threats Indigenous knowledge is a part of each nation’s capital that consists of their local beliefs, methods, tools and information.Through this knowledge, various nations have sought their livelihood from their environment during several centuries (Emadi & Abbasi, 1999). Agriculture & livestock knowledge, is a knowledge that is experienced by farmers and ranchmen and transfer it to other generations. History shows that indigenous agriculture knowledge will be removed gradually and the rest is experimented. Such knowledge includes the smart and precise observations on plants, animals, climate, soil, pests and classified systems that are fully compatible with local conditions. One of the requirements of indigenous knowledge is new limitation and failure. The failures are happened due to different reasons including lack of indigenous knowledge and experience. This inattention may be derived from social factors as proud of holders of new knowledge against holders of indigenous knowledge or imagination of new knowledge holders from indigenous knowledge as one that belongs to the ancients. The characteristics of indigenous knowledge for sustainable development are as follow: compatibility with plenty of work force and low demand of capital, dynamism, local full adaptability, accepting the various productive systems, emphasis on conservation of resources and avoiding risk, logical decision making, flexible strategies for emergency cases ( drought & famine) simple,innovative and intelligent agriculture system that is proper for simultaneous cultivation of several products, complete combination of productive methods with social bodies, flexibility & capability of high entrepreneurship.(Emadi & Abbasi, 1999).
