  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 ...

Iran Regime’s FATF Division Develops

-
By Hamideh Taati
The Iranian Regime’s infighting over the bills related to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) had already escalated to dangerous levels before the US State Department placed the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) onto its lists of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). Now, the disputes have reached a much more serious level and the passage of these bills represents a decision that will impact on Iran’s current power structure and international relations.


For months now, the two bills that still need to be passed, in order to Iran to join the FATF and receive all the economic benefits that brings, have been going back and forth between the Parliament, the Guardian Council, and the Expediency Council. But the Regime appears stuck at a crossroads unsure which way to go.
The state-run Etemad online website wrote that the saga had become such a “tortuous odyssey” mired with “political controversies and their interpretations” that the FATF itself has been forgotten.
Amir-Hossein Ghazizadeh Hashemi, a member of the Parliament’s administrative board, attacked the FATF advocates.
He said: “Today, pro-West voices who sought the four bills approved and joining the Palermo and CFT conventions must have realized that the opponents of these bills have been realists and had good a grasp of the true nature of the international community. But the pro-Wests, through illusion and optimism, have almost put the country into the West’s trap.”
Meanwhile, Laya Joneydi, the deputy of legal affairs for Iranian regime president Hassan Rouhani, is also concerned that the issue has become polarising and opinions over it have been marred by factional beliefs.
She said: “Everyone, including the media, the government, the Majlis and the Expediency Council should help keep the discussion about the FATF professional and not political. If they make the discussion too much political, it may be that the issue is impacted by daily moods and news, resulting in a negative decision made.”
When asked about the impact that the IRGC’s designation will have on the FATF decision-making, she said that it would not change government policy, which is to pass the bills.
However, Iran’s former ambassador to Italy Abolfazl Zohrehvand dismissed the idea that there is no connection between FATF and the designation of IRGC.
He said: “These two issues are very much related. If we fall into the trap of the combating terrorism financing (CFT), FATF and Palermo bills, the US will have legal grounds to ask other countries to cooperate with it.”
He then began to attack the so-called moderate Rouhani cabinet, calling them “representatives of the West”. This is simply untrue. As we know, there are no moderates in the Regime and everyone works for the Supreme Leader.

Link to call signing: https://www.change.org/p/un-secretary-general-call-for-justice-for-the-1988-iran-massacre Let's move our hands to change our world In the age of consciousness, and in the 21st century, brutality and barbarism must be stopped, this is not worthy of humanity. 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 ...
