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. Es...

Who is Mohammad Kazemi and Can He Save Iranian regime’s IRGC Intelligence Organization?

Image
  Written by   Mehdi Oghbai On June 23, Hossein Salami, the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Commander-in-Chief, appointed the IRGC Brigadier General Mohammad Kazemi as the new chief of the IRGC Intelligence Organization. Hossein Taeb, the former commander of the IRGC-IO, was booted from his position after 13 years, following a series of assassinations of the IRGC’s commanders and numerous operations by the  Iranian Resistance Units  against the regime’s centers of oppression. Sacking Taeb,  a confidant of the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son Mojtaba reveals the depths of what Khamenei describes as the “crisis of infiltration” in the regime’s security apparatus. Since its foundation in 2009, the IRGC-IO has been under Khamenei’s direct supervision, operating as a parallel security organization to the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). According to the regime’s constitution, a mullah should be the Minister of intelligence. Thus, Kha...

Khamenei reveals his terror of growing unrests

Image
  By  Farid Mahoutchi In a meeting with the head and senior officials of the judiciary, regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei, expressed his utter fear of the growing unrest in the Iranian society and called for an all-out crackdown on social media and protests. Khamenei’s latest speech comes at a time when the regime is struggling to contain a growing wave of protests across the country. People from all walks of life are coming to the streets every day to protest economic woes, government corruption, arrest of activists, and suppression of freedoms. At the same time, the Iranian Resistance has taken great strides inside the country. The Resistance Units, a network of activists affiliated with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), has been carrying out numerous campaigns across the country to prevent the regime’s apparatus of suppression from stifling the voices of dissent and defiance. In such an atmosphere, Khamenei compared today’s conditions with the early 1...

  Maryam Rajavi ’s speech in the presence of the Nobel Laureate in medicine Prof. Roberts Professor Richard Roberts, 1993 Nobel Laureate in medicine, and  Maryam Rajavi  met and held talks in Ashraf-3 on Sunday, June 26, 2022. Mr. Roberts also visited the Resistance’s Museum and addressed a gathering of PMOI members in Ashraf-3. Professor Richard Roberts is a valuable scholar of molecular biology. His research led to the discovery of alternative splicing of genes, which proved instrumental in the prevention, and treatment of hereditary illnesses in infants. The Nobel Committee gave the 1993 Nobel Prize in medicine to Professor Roberts for his discovery. Professor Roberts is also a humanitarian scientist who has repeatedly protested and issued declarations against the crackdowns on the PMOI in Ashraf and Liberty, and the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran in joint action with other Nobel Laureates.

Image
    By   Matin Karim Members of  Resistance Units , an expanding network of brave and resilient Iranians associated with the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ( PMOI/MEK ), are escalating their ongoing campaign of measures aimed at weakening the regime’s crackdown across the country. In recent days, the Resistance Units carried out activities in several cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, Rasht, Sabzevar, and Isfahan.

On June 26, Sir Richard J. Roberts, the  1993 Nobel Prize  winner of Physiology or Medicine visited Ashraf-3 and met with the NCRI President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. Sir Roberts, a British biochemist and molecular biologist who won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of introns in eukaryotic DNA and the mechanism of gene-splicing, also attended a meeting with the members of the Iranian Resistance and conducted a brief but touching speech. Welcoming Sir Roberts, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi said: “We and the Iranian people will remember this visit because of your distinguished scientific career, because of your support for the Iranian people’s uprisings for freedom, and particularly because of your sincere and heartfelt defense of the MEK in  Ashraf and Camp Liberty  during the seven years, from 2009 until 2016, where 150 MEK members were slain and nearly 1,500 wounded in seven bloo...

Iranians Increasingly Oppose the Theocratic Dictatorship

Image
  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh The 1979 Iranian revolution was a repudiation of the Pahlavi dynasty’s self-serving economic policies and brutal repression of dissent. It was never intended to establish a theocratic dictatorship in place of a secular one. Most of the factions involved in that revolution, such as the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran ( PMOI/MEK ), envisioned a democratic future for the country. But despite their support from the vast majority of Iranian citizens, they were not ultimately able to prevent Ruhollah Khomeini from co-opting the revolution to establish a system of absolute clerical rule, with himself at its head. Now, Khomeini’s successor is overseeing efforts to stave off a renewed push for democratic governance by insisting that opposition to the theocratic dictatorship is tantamount to endorsement of the very monarchy that was rejected by virtually all Iranians more than four decades ago. In July 2018, s...

Even Khamenei’s edicts can’t hide Raisi’s abysmal performance

Image
  By  Farid Mahoutchi The official website of Iranian regime Supreme Leader  Ali Khamenei  published his recent speech where he warned various regime officials and entities regarding their criticism of regime President  Ebrahim Raisi  and his administration. “Whoever pushes the nation into being pessimistic about the country’s officials is, willingly or unwillingly, working in favor of the enemy!” he  said  on June 12 in unprecedented remarks. While Khamenei’s orders usually rallied his loyalists, just one after his remarks were published on June 21, members of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) who are considered close to Khamenei were seen literally lashing at Raisi. “Mr. Raisi! The prices of various goods are skyrocketing… Mr. Raisi, your lazy and tired bureaucratic system, engulfed with corruption and graft, is suffocating the country,” said Majlis member Ali Asghar Anabestani. Another Majlis member went even further and specifically targeted Kh...
