It Is Time For Action Against Iranian And Syrian Regimes

NCRI Staff
NCRI - After news broke about the most recent chemical weapons attack in Syria, many people took to social media to condemn those responsible for the attack. Not just ordinary people, but high officials and leaders from across the world.


However, condemnations on social media are not enough to stop the cruel and inhuman criminals that are perpetrating attacks that are killing civilians including young children. Similar crimes have been happening in Syria for many years now and countless civilians have lost their lives.
These attacks are still happening because nothing is being done to stop those that are instigating them. They are not being held accountable and the international community is by and large remaining silent.
If the international community continues to accompany such attacks with silence and fails to act decisively it is sending a message to the perpetrators that it is ok. It also means that cities across the region could be the next targets for such attacks.
On 13th March 2013 we first became aware of a chemical weapons attack that took place in a residential area in the outskirts of the city of Aleppo. Just over a month later, another attack took place in Saraqeb. Several months after this one, there was an attack in Ghouta. A few days later there was one in Jobar, closely followed by another attack in Sahnaya. How is it possible that not one single person was held accountable for this quick succession of attacks?
The Syrian regime denied that the attacks involved chemicals and said that events were blown out of proportion, despite the evidence that suggests otherwise.
It is unacceptable that the Syrian regime and its Iranian allies are being left in peace and quiet to carry out such crimes.
The Iranian regime is no stranger to appeasement as it was left to its own devices for years during former President Barack Obama’s time in office. Iran knew that no matter what it did, Obama would fail to react, safe in the knowledge that the US president valued the 2015 nuclear deal – his legacy – so much that he would say nothing that had the potential of derailing it.
However, the administration has changed and Trump has vowed to curb Iran’s belligerence and meddling in the Middle East.
He condemned the chemical attack that took place last weekend and said that President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing the Syrian President Bashar al Assad (whom he described as an “animal”). He said the attack was “mindless” and a “humanitarian disaster”.
Trump’s condemnation was strong, but he must take decisive action so that that criminals who perpetrated the attack are held accountable. If he fails to do so, attacks like this will continue to happen.
Iran is involved, one way or another, in all the conflicts in the region and it cannot be allowed to continue unchallenged. Trump has vowed to remain firm in foreign policy towards Iran and he recognises that Iran has no regard for the lives of its own citizens, never mind those in Syria. The Iranian regime will stop at nothing to achieve its goals of regional hegemony.

International Dignitaries Rally for a New Iran Policy, Support NCRI as Democratic Alternative

  Written by Shamsi Saadati Paris, France  – On Saturday, May 17, 2025, an influential international conference convened in Paris, uniting parliamentarians and prominent political figures from a wide array of countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Malta, Switzerland, Romania, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The central theme of the gathering was the urgent need for a new, decisive international policy towards Iran, with a strong emphasis on supporting democratic change and recognizing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a viable alternative to the current regime. The event served as a significant platform for global lawmakers to voice their concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, the regime’s escalating domestic repression, its destabilizing regional activities, and its persistent pursuit of a nuclear program. A recurring call throughout the conference was for Western governments to adopt a firmer stance, including the ...

When War Becomes an Excuse: How Economic Pressure Is Being Shifted Onto Ordinary People

-

  By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself.   War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...

Intensifying U.S. Economic Pressure: Washington’s New Move Against the Mullahs’ Regime and Its Consequences

  By Reza Hoseani Is Washington’s economic fury more effective than military warfare? An examination of the United States’ new sanctions targeting the IRGC’s financial lifelines and their impact on Iran’s explosive social environment. Amid the regime’s paralyzing deadlock between war and restraint, Washington has made its choice unmistakably clear: an all-out economic war instead of a large-scale military war. This choice is not the product of moderation. Rather, it reflects an understanding that economic pressure may be more lethal to the regime, less costly for the West, and more socially acceptable to the Iranian people than military intervention. 1. From “Maximum Pressure” to “Economic Fury”: The IRGC’s Lifelines in the Crosshairs In recent months, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has escalated economic pressure through two new initiatives. First came what has been described as Operation Economic Fury, announced by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He stated explicitly ...
