Mullahs’ regime takes five Britons hostage in Persian Gulf

Mullahs’ regime takes five Britons hostage in Persian GulfNCRI – The terrorist regime ruling Iran on Wednesday, November 25, took five Britons hostage in the Persian Gulf waters. According to the British Foreign Office, these sailors were detained in the Persian Gulf by the mullahs’ naval forces while travelling from Bahrain to Dubai. The mullahs’ regime has not, up until now, released any information about this hostage taking.

While international consensus has been formed on the military nature of the Iranian regime’s nuclear program and the negotiations of the P5+1 states have failed to bear fruit, and at a time when the IAEA board of governors has condemned the regime, the religious fascism ruling Iran is trying to turn public attention away from its ominous nuclear projects through such acts of aggression and with its all-too-familiar policy of blackmail. BY creating such crises, the regime is also hoping to cover up the nationwide uprising and the increasing public discontent in Iran and the lethal factional feuding within its ranks.

Silence and inaction towards the murderers of the Iranian people and such pirates in the 21st century, which are doing their utmost to arm themselves with nuclear bombs, is tantamount to welcoming a catastrophe.

Any hesitation in adopting comprehensive sanctions against this regime will lead to a welcoming of war. The ultimate solution is regime change in Iran which is viable at the hands of the Iranian people and their Resistance movement. By accepting this certain reality, the international community can expedite it, or instead, it can continue with its policy of appeasement of the regime and thereby prolong its life.
