SUMMARY:While America Sleeps\, Iran and Russia Are Subverting the United Nations
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThis year\, we have witnessed Russia and Iran blatantly violate the founding principles of the UN Charter. As Russia has executed its brutal war on Ukraine\, Iran has blatantly violated UN Resolution 2231\, which\, among other limitations\, prohibits the sale and transfer of ballistic missiles and drones. As you are all most likely aware by now\, Iran has been providing hundreds of drones to Russia to prosecute its war on Ukraine\, killing and maiming hundreds of Ukrainian civilians\, making it an accessory to the crime.  Yet no one seems to be paying attention. \nUN Security Council Resolution has several parts\, one of which modifies and incorporates some of the UN’s former sanctions against Iran\, but each sanction has a “sunset clause”. In less than a year from now\, on October 23\, 2023\, the UN sanction prohibiting the sale and transfer of ballistic missiles and drones will expire. And to make matters worse\, on October 18\, 2025\, all United Nations sanctions against Iran are set to expire. This is occurring as Iran is perilously close to a nuclear breakout. As Gabe Noronha says\, “This is a ticking time bomb”. \nAbout the Speaker: Gabriel Noronha is the Executive Director of POLARIS National Security and a Fellow with JINSA’s Gemunder Center for Defense and Strategy. From 2019-2021\, he served as the Special Advisor for Iran at the Department of State where he coordinated policy and directed the Department’s communications and congressional affairs for Iran. \nFrom 2017-2019\, he worked as the Special Assistant to the Senate Armed Services Committee under Chairmen John McCain and Jim Inhofe\, helping write and pass the annual national security legislation\, the National Defense Authorization Act. \nGabriel previously worked for U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte from 2015-2016. He works on a wide range of national security and political projects. He speaks and conducts research in Spanish\, Russian\, and Mandarin.

SUMMARY:Nexus of Evil: Russo-Iranian Collusion and the Growing Danger of War
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nAs Russia executes its immoral war against Ukraine\, it has become apparent that over 300 of the drones that the Russian army has used to rain down over the Ukrainian civilian and military infrastructures have been manufactured in Iran and sold to Moscow. We also have learned that the Iranians are now manufacturing drones on Russian soil. Just this week\, National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby said that the relationship between Iran and Russia is developing into a “full-grown partnership.” He added that “the support is flowing both ways”\, and that Moscow offers “an unprecedented level of military and technical support” including collaborating between the two nations “on areas like weapons development and training.” There is also a growing concern that “Russia is providing Iran with advanced military components”\, which could include highly sophisticated air missile defense systems such as the Russian S-400\, which is considered the most capable air missile defense system yet invented. \nAs these two adversaries to US national security interests develop deeper partnerships\, this can only empower them and increase their appetite for war\, threatening to destabilize the entire Middle East and of course\, posing an existential threat to the state of Israel. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Stephen J. Blank is Senior Fellow at Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Eurasia Program. He has published over 900 articles and monographs on Soviet/Russian\, U.S.\, Asian\, and European military and foreign policies\, testified frequently before Congress on Russia\, China\, and Central Asia\, consulted for the Central Intelligence Agency\, major think tanks and foundations\, chaired major international conferences in the U.S. and in Florence; Prague; and London\, and has been a commentator on foreign affairs in the media in the U.S. and abroad. \nBlank has advised major corporations on investing in Russia and is a consultant for the Gerson Lehrmann Group. He has published or edited 15 books\, most recently Russo-Chinese Energy Relations: Politics in Command (London: Global Markets Briefing\, 2006). He has also published Natural Allies. Regional Security in Asia and Prospects for Indo-American Strategic Cooperation (Carlisle\, PA: Strategic Studies Institute\, U.S. Army War College\, 2005). \nHe is currently completing a book entitled Light From the East: Russia’s Quest for Great Power Status in Asia to be published in 2014 by Ashgate. Dr. Blank is also the author of The Sorcerer as Apprentice: Stalin’s Commissariat of Nationalities (Greenwood\, 1994); and the co-editor of The Soviet Military and the Future (Greenwood\, 1992)

SUMMARY:Speaking In Solidarity With the Brave Dissidents in Iran
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nAs we write these words\, every single one of Iran’s 33 provinces and over 100 of the Islamic Republic’s cities has seen their streets roiling over in protests against their repressively brutal tyranny. Approximately 18\,000 Iranian dissidents have been rounded up and imprisoned\, and approximately 500 have been randomly shot or otherwise killed in the streets during the protests\, including 58 children 16 years of age and below. Two people have already been hung\, and the regime is planning to execute several more. \nYet\, these courageous protesters are not discouraged. The regime’s venality has not deterred them\, one iota\, but has had a paradoxical effect and they have somehow summoned up the courage to keep continuing in their valiant struggle for freedom from this suffocating theocracy. \nWhat’s propelling them to continue on in the face of the possibility that they might be shot on the spot\, rounded up to be tortured or raped in a notorious Iranian prison\, or even face execution by hanging? Will the momentum continue? Does this signal the beginning of the end of the Islamic Republic? Here to answer these questions and more is Navid Mohebbi\, who himself was imprisoned and beaten up by the Iranian thugs. \nAbout the Speaker: Navid Mohebbi is NUFDI’s Advocacy Director and a long-time democracy advocate and a former political prisoner in Iran. He has written extensively on Iran’s political and social affairs both in Persian and English and worked with many civil society organizations in Iran on a range of political\, human rights\, and women’s rights issues. \nNavid is responsible for designing and implementing strategies to advance NUFDI’s mission and policy goals and is tasked with building relationships with key policymakers and grassroots organizations. He also leads NUFDI’s strategic growth initiatives while contributing to overall policy. \nNavid was born and raised in Iran. He holds a BA in international relations and Middle Eastern studies from George Washington University\, and an MA in Security Studies from the University of Massachusetts. \nNavid regularly advises the U.S. government on Iran policy and is a regular contributor to Persian and English language media outlets. His articles have appeared in Wall Street Journal\, Washington Times\, Radio Free Europe\, etc. Before joining NUFDI\, Navid worked as a media analyst for the U.S. State Department. He also completed a DOD-funded program where he researched the impact of climate change on political stability in Iran for the Federal Division of the Library of Congress.
