New details are unfolding on the mullahs’ meddling in bloody rival factional fightings in Palestine.

A document leaked out just recently from the Qods Force headquarters in Tehran elaborates how the force is busy meddling in the affairs of that troubled region.

The Qods commanders are trying vehemently to derail the peace process with Israel and by the same token stir unrest among the Palestinians. The force’s headquarter in Tehran is planning round the clock now and has just issued new directives for its agents within the Palestinian groups to make as much trouble as possible.

In a specific highly classified order, the force has instructed that its operatives on the ground simultaneous with attacks on Fattah movement should continue with firing of Qassam missiles into the Israeli territories. This is carried out by Hamas forces.

In its issue number 288, IRGC's Sobh-e Sadegh weekly, published under the supervision of the Political Office of the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, expressed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) frustration over Arbil arrest of five of its top commanders posed as diplomats by the U.S. forces in Iraq. 

The weekly quoted Brig. Gen. Reza Zaker as saying, “I think the U.S. [authorities] are psychologically mature enough to realize the degree in which their forces are scattered in Afghanistan and Iraq. Not to mention those U.S. citizens in East Asia, Pakistan, India, Africa, Latin America, and Europe just to name a few locations where they can be reached when the need arises. Getting to those targets and locating them is much easier than buying a few ship-loads of cheap Chinese made goods.”

The recent euphoria over the outcome of upcoming talks between Washington and Tehran, scheduled for May 28 in Baghdad, has given the die-hard proponents of conciliation with the Iranian mullahs a glimmer of hope. As illusory as they are, these expectations reveal a blurred understanding of the state of affairs in Iran and the essence of the Iranian mullahs' foreign and domestic policy.

A fundamental question needs to be answered in order to see through the fog that hangs over the policy on Iran: are we witnessing the emergence of a regional power or the demise of a troglodyte theocracy?

This question does not have a simple yes or no answer because the mullahs’ regime sees no geographical boundaries to its expansion in the Islamic world. The mullahs’ Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei considers himself as God’s sole representative on Earth who has the responsibility of leading his subjects. Yemen is no exception to this rule.
  
It has been quite sometime now since slowly, but effectively, the Iranian regime is supporting the insurgent Shiite groups logistically in Yemen. With the mullahs, the task would be to stir violence and unrest in the country.
