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.

In their meeting with Mrs. Rajavi, Hon. Bob Blackman, MP from the UK House of Commons, and Rt. Hon.

Mr. Jones and Mr. Blackman acknowledged the extensive history of oppression suffered by the Iranian people under both the Shah and the mullahs, marked by the cries of “death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the mullahs’ supreme leader” echoing throughout Iranian cities. They recognized that these cries represent a strong rejection of all forms of dictatorship by the Iranian people. “It is absurd to think...

Munich Security Conference Assured Tehran More Than It Warned

Image
  By Hossein Daei Alilslam After enduring six months of persistent protests, during which hundreds of lives were lost and tens of thousands of demonstrators suffered through torture, rape, and even blindness, the Iranian people have sent a resounding message to the world: regime change is inevitable, it’s not a question of if, but when. Yet again, despite passionate rhetoric about supporting the people of Iran, the Western powers have shown a steadfast reluctance to confront the murderous regime in Iran. With the war in Ukraine as a major shadow that cast a high, the Munich Security Conference 2023 was held from February 17 to 19. Unlike previous years, and despite its evident impact on the prolonged invasion of Ukraine, the so-called “Iranian threat” was a missing spot on the  MSC agenda  as an official topic that world leaders would commit time to discuss. Unprecedently, the Iranian regime’s delegation was disinvited to the MSC as the organizers wanted to make sure Tehr...

Why Iranian Regime’s “Friendly Journalists” Retake Aim At MEK

Image
  By Dr. Ali Safavi In an article that was published in Townhall on February 24, NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee member Dr. Ali Safavi criticizes the Iranian regime’s continued efforts to spread false propaganda against Iran’s main organized opposition group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) using Western media outlets like the Intercept. The author highlights how the regime is recycling old lies and misinformation to demonize the MEK and divert attention from its own failures and atrocities. Dr. Safavi argues how the MEK, which has been exposing and fighting Tehran’s war, terror, and hostage-taking machine for decades, has been the target of one of the most severe slandering campaigns and urges the international community to support the Iranian Resistance in its efforts to bring democracy and freedom to Iran.  The full text of Dr. Ali Safavi’s article in Townhall is reflected below and the original piece can be found under this link:  https://townhall.com/columnists/alisafavi/...

Recycling Tehran’s Propaganda Against the MEK

Image
  By Dr. Ali Safavi Every time the mullahs ruling Iran face a significant impasse, such as the six-month-long uprising that has shaken the regime to its core, they cast the net as wide as possible to recruit “friendly journalists” that chant regime propaganda against the MEK. After vanishing into thin air when I  exposed him  three years ago for his falsehoods, Murtaza Hussain has resurfaced, this time lashing out against the US Congress for  supporting  the main Iranian opposition Mujahedin-e Khalq ( MEK ).  Hussain’s intense hatred towards the democratic Iranian opposition is deeply connected to his  promotion  of a policy of appeasement towards Iran’s authoritarian regime. As a result, his writings have received favorable coverage from regime-controlled media outlets. In Hussain’s view, any tough talk on the mullahs is nothing more than an “ ideological crusade against Iran ,” He maintains the dubious belief that the regime has always “negotiat...
