Iran Focus
London, 19 Apr - Since United States President Donald Trump took office, he has maintained harsh rhetoric against Iran. His actions have been firm and he is taking steps to address Iran’s belligerence. Trump also wants to strengthen the 2015 nuclear deal and has warned the other signatories of the agreement that he will not keep the United States in the deal if he is not satisfied that it is effective enough.

London, 18 Apr - Faced with yet another cowardly chemical weapons attack, the United States, France and Great Britain vowed to take action. And they did so in the form of a US-led airstrike that caused significant damage to Syrian military sites.
The reaction from this Western alliance sends a big message, not just to Syrian President Bashar al Assad, but also to Iran and Russia. It is a clear signal that the days of appeasement led by former President Barack Obama are over.

London, 11 Apr - The international community is understandably concerned about the chemical weapons attack in Douma by Syria, which left over 40 dead and thousands injured.
This violent attack on civilians – mainly women and children - by the Syria and its allies in Iran, was followed the next day by a missile strike on a Syrian airbase that killed 14, including a number of Iranian fighters.
It is unclear who launched the attack, but some people have blamed Israel, potentially backed by the US, which led to Russian President Vladimir Putin warning of ‘grave consequences’ if the US attacks the Syrian government forces and stationing Russian troops near the Homs airfield. This comes only shortly after Donald Trump promised a ‘forceful’ Western military response to the chemical weapons attack in Douma.

London, 12 Apr - Following the devastating chemical attack in Eastern Ghoutta, Syria, that killed dozens of civilians and injured thousands, we may well see another US strike against Syrian airfields.
In 2017, following a chemical attack on the Syrian people by Bashar Assad’s forces, Donald Trump condemned the dictator on Twitter and ordered 59 Tomahawk missiles to strike Syria’s Shayrat Airfield, where the chemical attack had been launched from.

London, 10 Apr - Following the alleged chemical attack in Douma, a town in the Eastern Ghouta area of Syria, leaders and officials are calling for more action to be taken.
The Syrian government, with the assistance of Iran and Russia, is carrying out unspeakable atrocities and their actions cannot go unpunished.
Furthermore, it is the brazen nature of Syrian President Bashar al Assad and his allies Iran and Russia with regards to such cruel and inhumane attacks on civilians that is very worrying.
