An explanatory joint statement by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry and the Intelligence Organization of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)
On US regime’s interventions in Iran’s recent riots
With condolences over the martyrdom of a group of compatriots in the shrine of Ahmad bin Musa (AS) and the martyrs for the country’s security, and supplicating prayers before God for the elevation of those martyrs, patience, and reward for their grieving survivors, and the full and speedy recovery of the injured and those affected by the terrorist incident in the holy shrine, and along with a pledge of heartfelt allegiance to those martyrs and to God Almighty to pursue comprehensive, accurate and rigorous information until the discovery and punishment of the entire perpetrators of this barbaric crime and their supporters at any time and in any place, we hereby bring to the attention of the noble Iranian nation that information and explanations were provided with regard to some aspects of the recent riots in an explanatory statement on September 30.

First, in the current statement, the reliability of data and their documentation have been especially emphasized. Therefore, every effort has been made to present the information obtained from various intelligence methods in here.
Second, based on the available information, it has been established that preparations, ground setting, and also an important part of the executive operations of the recent riots were designed by foreign spy services in the form of a package and implemented in different ways inside the country through some groups and networks related to them. On the other hand, there is another important fact that in their recent operations, these services have tried to exploit some of the existing grievances in society, and even as much as possible, base their information projects on the misuse of such issues.
Third, accurate and continuous intelligence observations over the past year, as well as available documentation from the recent riots and information obtained from the enemy's scenarios for the post-crisis phase, bear many examples and undeniable references to the comprehensive role of the terrorist American regime in the design, implementation, and continuation of the aforementioned imbroglio.

The Empire of Chaos is relentless. Lawfare, destabilizations, sanctions, kidnappings, color revolutions, false flags, annexations: 2025 will be the year of BRICS – plus BRICS partners – as choice targets under fire.
Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson coined “chaos” as official US policy. That’s bipartisan – and it runs across all silos of the Deep State.
In the absence of long-term strategic vision, and amidst the progressive imperial expulsion from Eurasia, all that’s left for the Hegemon is to unleash chaos from West Asia to Europe and parts of Latin America – a concerted attempt to Divide and Rule BRICS and thwart their collective drive affirming sovereignty and the primacy of national ...
While NATO may be yearning to take on Russia in the Arctic, many of its troops lack the necessary expertise for survival in such extreme conditions.
Although NATO forces regularly participate in drills in the region, many remain unprepared for the harsh realities of Arctic life.
Though NATO forces routinely participate in the bloc’s drills in the region, many of them are still not prepared to survive in the Arctic’s harsh conditions, The Sun reports citing Minna Alander, a researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.
"Not all NATO allies have the capabilities that are needed and that work in the Arctic environment and climate,” Alander said.....more below
