By Struan Stevenson Conflagration engulfs the Middle East, with the Israel-Hamas war having gone on for more than a year now, and many Israeli hostages are still being held in deplorable conditions by Hamas terrorists. In Northern Israel, constant missile and rocket attacks by Hezbollah led to the mass evacuation of more than 70,000 Israelis from their homes in 2024 and to the inevitable military retaliation by the Israel Defense Forces, as they crossed the border into Southern Lebanon. Israeli missiles are raining down on key Hezbollah targets in Beirut. The assassination of Hezbollah’s terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, a seismic event, shattered his close friend and ally Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader and Hezbollah’s main sponsor. Nasrallah’s successor, Hashem Saffieddine, was also killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut within hours of being nominated for the Hezbollah leadership role and before the funeral of his predecessor had even taken place.

Iran Election 2021: State Media Warn About Low Voters’ Turnout Amid Infightings

On Tuesday, the Iranian regime’s Guardian Council eliminated most of the regime’s sham presidential election candidates at the behest of the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Therefore, the state-run media and officials of the rival faction warn about the consequences of the regime’s contraction policy.
Khamenei’s action once again confirmed the Iranian Resistance’s longtime saying that the elections in the mullahs’ regime are just shows and serve as a façade of the vicious regime.
Khamenei intends to pull Ebrahim Raisi out of the ballot box and pursue his contraction policy. Thus, he could not tolerate his closest officials, such as Ali Larijani, the former Parliament Speaker.
Now the regime’s infightings have reached a new level.
“What happened during the qualification process in the presidential election is anything but ‘election.’ The Supreme Leader’s ‘selection’ does not need my vote,” said Mostafa Tajzadeh, one of the eliminated candidates and the former Deputy Interior Minister on Thursday.
“People think that whoever becomes the president makes no difference for us. All presidents follow specific orders. Therefore, our participation is meaningless,” said Paravaneh Salahshouri, a former MP.
“When the feeling of ineffectiveness spread in society, people will refuse to participate in the election. This refusal to participate in the election eventually results in social incidents, which we have been witnessing recently,” Salahshouri warned the regime officials, according to the semi-official ILNA News Agency on Thursday.
“Due to the widespread disqualification of presidential candidates, everyone knows that this election will be unprofessional, non-competitive, and will have a low voter turnout,” Seminary Teachers Association in Qom said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The indifference of the people and a large number of experts and observers are very dangerous and are increasing,” said Mullah Mohammad Javad Hojjati Kermani on Thursday.
“With the massive disqualification of candidates, people’s trust in the ballot box and the system decreases more. They feel they are entangled and should break themselves free. This situation is hazardous for us,” said Ashraf Broujerdi, a former deputy of the Interior Minister.
Broujerdi recalled the fate of Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri, a Shi’ite cleric hanged by people following Iran’s constitutional revolution. “If people get us one day, we would have the same fate as Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri,” she said.
In its editorial on Saturday, the state-run Jomhuri-e Eslami (Islamic Republic) daily underlined the regime’s policy of contraction and acknowledged that the ruling theocracy is entangled in crises and has no solution for them.
“The current approach shows the tendency towards complete unification of the system. The existing problems, especially the country’s economic crisis, are too large for a single faction or political group to manage,” Jomhuri-e Eslami’s article reads.
“The country’s problem is not limited to the economic crisis. Cultural, social, and even political crises are no less dangerous than economic crises, if not more serious and dangerous. These crises are not visible because the real economic problem in people’s daily lives has not allowed other crises to appear. Cultural, social, and political elites and experts, especially sociologists, are fully aware of this fact and aware of the dangers of these crises,” Jomhuri-e Eslami adds.
“The unfavorable conditions of the country today are the product of internal contradictions in governance. If one tries to blame it on one person or one faction, they are deceiving themselves. The continuation of these contradictions, both in domestic and foreign policy, will paralyze the [regime], and all of us will pay the price,” Jomhuri-e Eslami’s article warned regime officials.
Written by Mahmoud Hakamian Two-minute read On Sunday morning, April 14, the Iranian regime launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Despite military experts’ assessments that the attack failed, it underscores Iran’s role as a focal point of regional conflict. The October 7th attack sent shockwaves globally. Despite ample evidence implicating the Iranian regime, Western governments dismissed Tehran’s involvement, adhering to a flawed appeasement policy toward the primary state sponsor of terrorism. They disregarded explicit statements from Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) commanders boasting about their direct role in the attack. For decades, the Iranian Resistance has urged the international community to adopt a resolute stance against the Iranian regime’s aggression and terrorism. Despite persistent calls, the failed appeasement policy of the West allowed Tehran to escalate its belligerent activities, including ...
By DR. MAJID RAFIZADEH President Donald Trump will make a decision on whether the US will leave or stick with the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, by May 12. It has been almost three years since the nuclear accord was reached between the Islamic Republic and the UN Security Council’s five permanent members — Russia, the UK, China, France, and the US — plus Germany (the P5+1). Since the JCPOA’s implementation day on Jan. 16, 2016, the Iranian regime has been receiving various benefits that can be divided into four categories. Based on the terms of the JCPOA, four rounds of the United Nations Security Council’s economic sanctions against Tehran were lifted immediately. The regime also received unilateral sanctions relief from individual countries in exchange for halting its nuclear activities and dismantling some sections of its nuclear program. For instanc...

At the first step, you should be the center of this cruelty and the godfather of crime and murder, terrorism and fundamentalism that nobody is part of Iran's terrorist government. The fact is that the killing and execution of political and conscientious prisoners in public or in prisons is secretly in its astronomical dimensions on the coin of killing innocent people abroad by this regime. The issuance of terrorism and the support of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in this regime is institutionalized and is part of the constitution. The crimes committed by perpetrators and groups affiliated with this corrupt and expansionist state in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq ...
