U.S. Suspects Iran Behind Rocket Attacks on Iraqi Bases Hosting U.S. Forces

U.S. officials believe that Iran is behind a series of increasingly sophisticated rocket attacks on joint U.S.-Iraq military facilities in Iraq, after four rockets struck an Iraqi military base near the Baghdad International airport on Monday. The U.S. military believes that the attacks were carried out by Iranian-backed groups inside Iraq, according to U.S. officials. Iran invests $150 million annually financing and arming its terror proxies in Iraq. In addition to more sophisticated attacks on U.S.-Iraq facilities, the Iranian regime is smuggling ballistic into Iraq missiles that could strike Jerusalem from Baghdad and could endanger American troops. Iran is the root cause of America’s problems in the Middle east. The regime is funding and arming terrorist proxies that can attack
Israel from six fronts: Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, Iraq, Yemen and Iran itself.

U.S. Releases First Photos of ‘Sophisticated Iranian Weapons’ Seized En Route to Yemen

Last month, the U.S. Navy intercepted an illegal Iranian shipment of advanced missile parts en route to Yemen. Iran spends $20 million annually funding terror proxies in Yemen. The “significant hoard” of sophisticated weapons captured in the Arabian Sea are further proof of Tehran’s efforts to inflame conflict in the region.

U.N. Office: Iranian Forces Were ‘Shooting to Kill’ Protesters

Iranian security forces were “shooting to kill” in their deadly crackdown against protestors in recent weeks, according to credible video footage, the U.N. human rights chief said Friday. The unrest left at least 208 people dead nationwide, the office of High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said, echoing a count also tallied by Amnesty International. Bachelet said footage received by her office appears to show demonstrators were gunned down while running away, or being shot “directly in the face and vital organs.” Such actions amounted to “serious violations of human rights,” Bachelet said. The Iranian regime is facing unprecedented protests and growing popular unrest because of its political repression and mismanagement of the economy. Iran’s leaders are facing these
challenges because of the choices they have made—prioritizing nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles and terrorism abroad.

Wearable Monitor Could Prevent Rehospitalization For Respiratory Disease

A unique Israeli device could be a platform for managing any respiratory disease, including asthma. The portable respiratory monitoring system under development by Resmetrix Medical continuously and accurately monitors, records and analyzes breathing patterns measured from a unique chest strap. It sends alerts for early signs of deterioration in a patient’s clinical condition. The initial focus is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) “because it’s a huge burden and a huge market,” explains Resmetrix Medical CEO Carmit Levy.
