Tehran in Meltdown as Israel Decapitates Hamas and Hezbollah

-
Image
  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: Raisi’s Speech to UN Was Full of Lies

-
Image
 Written by Mansoureh Galestan The Iranian regime’s President  Ebrahim Raisi  addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, with a pre-recorded message submitted to the gathering remotely. The content of the speech came as little surprise to anybody. This speech was full of lies and threats. Raisi presented a victimhood narrative about Iran’s Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected Iran to a much greater extent than all the other nations of the Middle East. The regime’s engineered death toll from the novel coronavirus is around 118,000. According to the People’s  Mojahedin Organization  of Iran (PMOI/ MEK ), the real death toll is fast approaching 450,000, but the regime is covering up this figure for fear of it being linked to the regime’s own destructive policies. Raisi’s rehashed the regime’s bogus claims that Iran has been unable to obtain vaccines and other vital medical resources because of US economic sanctions, but in reality, there have always...

World must act urgently to deny Iran a nuclear weapon

-
Image
  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh The latest developments indicate that the Iranian regime is heading toward becoming a nuclear state, which will have significant repercussions for regional and global peace and security. The regime is pressing ahead with uranium enrichment and is infringing all the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal. The regime is reportedly only one month away from having enough material to fuel a single nuclear weapon, while Iranian leaders are showing no interest in returning to the negotiating table to revive the nuclear pact. As the International Atomic Energy Agency reported this month: “Since 23 February 2021, the agency’s verification and monitoring activities have been seriously undermined as a result of Iran’s decision to stop the implementation of its nuclear-related commitments.” The dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran must not be underestimated for several reasons. First of all, Iran is not a rational state; rather it is a revolutionary on...

Iran’s Presidential Administration Is a Symbol of Impunity That Must Be Challenged

-
Image
  By Alejo Vidal-Quadras On Tuesday 21st of September, Iranian regime President  Ebrahim Raisi  addressed the United Nations General Assembly with a pre-recorded speech that professed to send a message of “rationality, justice, and freedom” to the world, but although Raisi has been in office for less than two months, virtually everything he has said and done so far has contradicted that message. Granted, his administration has not even fully taken shape yet, but much of his cabinet has been approved by the legislature and each appointment reflects the same ultra-hardline ideology and belligerent political strategy that defines Raisi’s own background. Soon after the first dozen or so appointments were announced, the Iranian Resistance leader Mrs.  Maryam Rajavi  issued a statement in which she described Raisi’s prospective cabinet as “The embodiment of four decades of mullahs’ religious dictatorship and terrorism.” The primary mission of the entire Raisi administ...

Iran’s nuclear defiance must be exposed at UN

-
Image
  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh One of the most critical issues that will likely be discussed at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly is Iran’s nuclear program and the future of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which was first agreed in 2015 between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 — the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany. Talks aimed at reviving the JCPOA appear to be at a standstill after six rounds of negotiations concluded with no positive results. The US, France, Germany and the UK have all expressed their desire to revive the nuclear deal, even though the Iranian regime is currently violating all restrictions of the JCPOA and continuing to advance its nuclear program. Against this backdrop, profoundly consequential questions arise concerning policy toward Iran and its nuclear program. The first important issue is that the US and the European countries must focus on pressuring the UNGA and the UNSC to seek answers from the Iranian regime co...

UN Must Shun Iran’s Mass Murderer

-
Image
  The Iranian regime’s president,   Ebrahim Raisi , is scheduled to take his first trip abroad on Thursday. According to state-run media, Raisi is slated to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tajikistan. This is despite the fact that Raisi is on the US sanctions list because he is a serial human rights abuser. Since Raisi’s installment as the illegitimate mullahs’ president, there have been ringing condemnations and growing calls by human rights organizations for his prosecution as a criminal. In 1988, he was involved in the  massacre  of 30,000 political prisoners, most of whom were members of the main opposition  Mujahedin -e Khalq ( MEK ). The victims’ families have been seeking justice for the past 33 years. But the culture of  impunity  that has reigned in Tehran for criminals and human rights abusers has allowed the rise of Raisi to one of the most senior positions in the clerical regime. As the global rights group Amnes...

Iran’s nuclear program was never intended to be for civilian purposes

-
Image
  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh The question of whether Iran’s nuclear program is intended for civilian purposes or for developing nuclear weapons is one of the most pressing issues when it comes to regional and global peace and security. The response to this question will define what policies other governments ought to pursue toward the Iranian regime and its nuclear ambitions. The Iranian leaders frequently claim that the country’s nuclear program has always been intended solely for peaceful civilian purposes. Tehran repeatedly resorts to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s statements to buttress its position. In a 2010 letter to the International Conference on Nuclear Disarmament, Khamenei reportedly wrote: “We consider the use of such weapons as haram (religiously forbidden) and believe that it is everyone’s duty to make efforts to secure humanity against this great disaster.” The supreme leader also states on his official website that the production and use of nuclear weapons are banned by...

A Glance at Iran’s State Media: Officials Warned About Restive Society

-

 Written by Shamsi Saadati was Iran’s worsening economic crisis. The regime’s institutionalized corruption, mismanagement, and misusing of the country’s wealth have caused inflation and skyrocketing prices. “According to Iran’s Statistics Center, milk prices have been on the rise since June 2019, especially after the increase in milk prices by the parliament. If we consider the price of one liter of milk in 2019 was at 4,500 tomans, it is currently 12 to 14 thousand Tomans,” Jahan-e Sanat wrote in this regard. “The price of 30-egg basket is 50 to 65 thousand tomans. A month ago, its price in the market was 45,000 Tomans. It can be said that the price of each egg basket has increased from 5 to 20,000 Tomans in less than a month,” wrote the state-run Vatan-e Emrooz daily. The skyrocketing prices are due to the high inflation rate. While state media and statistic centers speak of a less than 40% inflation rate, Ehsan Soltani is one of the regime’s experts who believe that the real inf...

Q&A: Maryam Rajavi, dissident leader, puts spotlight on ‘the Iran of tomorrow’

-
Image
  By  THE WASHINGTON TIMES   – – Monday, September 13, 2021 Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the world’s largest Iranian dissident organization, which seeks to replace Iran’s theocratic regime with a democracy, provided the following exclusive answers to questions from The Washington Times on July 7, 2021. The Washington Times: Hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi has been chosen as Iran’s next president. Human Rights Watch and others accuse him of a prominent role in ordering the 1988 execution of thousands of political prisoners. What is your reaction to his ascension to the presidency? Maryam Rajavi: Ebrahim Raisi, who is berated by the Iranian people as the “Henchman of 1988” for his role in the massacre of political prisoners, is Khamenei’s last-ditch attempt to preserve clerical rule. No other outcome could more accurately display the regime’s sheer political desperation and impending overthrow. The religious dictatorship has em...

Despite Raisi’s Suppression, Iran’s Opposition Is on the Rise

-
Image
  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh As the Iranian regime prepares to confront a myriad of domestic crises, particularly by installing Ebrahim Raisi as its president, it finds itself fighting another losing battle, this time against a determined opposition force seeking its overthrow.  This seminal battle stands to define Iran’s future, and with it, the fate of the Middle East now threatened by religious extremism. Since 2017, the regime has been shell-shocked by at least four major popular uprisings against its shaky extremist rule. In November 2019, Tehran carried out a massacre in the streets, killing at least  1,500  protesters. At the time, authorities, shaken by the protests’ organized nature, blamed the main opposition the National Council of Resistance of Iran for leading the uprising. Alarmed by the protests, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his praetorian guard the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) apparently decided to consolidate power and prepare to crack dow...
