a Kurdish-Iranian human rights activist, wrote an op-ed for Al Arabiya on how the two rogue states of North Korea and Iran are working together on nuclear technology and undermine the West.The advance in North Korea’s weapons technology has increased considerably over a short amount of time; far too short for this to be the natural progression of research and development according to sources from the British Foreign Office,
In his first speech at the United Nations General Assembly, US President Trump called the Iranian people the main victims of, and biggest threat to, their regime’s survival.Trump said that, “The longest suffering victims of Iran’s leaders are, in fact, its own people.” He went on to criticize the Iranian government for using the country’s resources and oil revenues to support terrorism in the Middle East instead of improving people’s lives.
A note about the Iran section of President Donald Trump’s speech to the U.N. General Assembly. While his lambasting of the nuclear deal garnered the greatest attention, it would be a mistake to overlook his extended focus on the plight of the Iranian people. It’s almost certainly significant — an important indicator of the administration’s future direction when it comes to Iran policy

Nations General Assembly hosted two competing speeches, one of which could have a dramatic impact on global policy-making and the future of the Middle East.President Donald Trump expressed a predictably firm policy in respect to the Iranian regime, especially toward the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known as the nuclear deal. The following day,
Bloomberg, September 22, 2017-- Supporters of the Iran nuclear deal are in panic mode.
Obama administration alumni are warning that President Donald Trump's threats to not certify Iranian compliance next month will unravel a bargain that makes the world safer. European leaders and Iranian envoys say the deal cannot be renegotiated.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragically real
The idiom “pot calling the kettle black” was perfectly illustrated by Iran when the country’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif spoke against the ongoing crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and urged the international community and the United Nations, in particular, to take swift action to end the crisis.

President Trump teased reporters on the fate of the Iran nuclear deal on Wednesday morning, repeatedly telling them “I have decided,” but refusing to say what his call actually is.
Now four sources, including a senior administration official, are trying to spoil his big season finale reveal. They tell NBC News that he’s leaning toward decertifying the deal before the next compliance deadline on October 15.

Hal Brands, a Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Program on National Security, wrote an op-ed for Bloomberg in which he assessed that Iran is the adversary that the US should be concerned about, rather than North Korea.
Brands, a Henry A. Kissinger Distinguished Professor of Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), wrote:
When U.S. President Trump addressed the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly on September 19, he said that “the longest-suffering victims of Iran's leaders are, in fact, its own people,” and added, “The entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change.”
The U.S. President pointed out that the Iranian peoples’ resources have been diverted toward aiding Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in Syria, as well as to power Yemen's civil war, and Hezbollah.
