ماتیو تولر دشمن سرسخت جمهوری اسلامی سفیر آمریکا در عراق شد
ماتیو تولر ، سفیر سابق آمریکا در یمن، یکی از دشمنان سرسخت جمهوری اسلامی ایران به عنوان سفیر آمریکا در عراق معرفی شد.
یک نماینده عراقی گفته است: تغییر سفیر به این معنی است که استراتژی آمریکایی جدیدی وجود دارد.
تولر که به زبان عربی مسلط است، یکی از دیپلمات‌های کهنه‌کار آمریکا در جهان عرب بشمار می رود. آقای ترامپ پیش از این گفته بود ما چشم از رژیم ایران بر نمیداریم.
اکنون
۲سال است
که معلمان ایران در حرکتی مستمر و سراسری تلاش می‌کنند مشکلات شغلی خود را که تاثیر
مستقیم در وضعیت آموزشی فرزندان این سرزمین دارد، به گوش آخوندهای حاکم برسانند.
معلمان در همین سالی که اکنون آخرین ماه‌های آن را پشت‌سر می‌گذاریم حداقل ۳اعتراض و اعتصاب سراسری و
چند حرکت استانی و منطقه‌ای را شکل دادند تا شاید آخوندهای حاکم جدیت مشکلات
معلمان و موانع آموزش و پرورش دانش‌آموزان کشور را دریابند.
شکل‌گیری یک اجماع جهانی علیه رژیم در ورشو و مقابله بین‌المللی با سیاست صدور تروریسم و جنگ‌افروزی در منطقه، کابوسی است که خواب را از چشمان ایادی و سردمداران رژیم ربوده است. به‌خصوص بعد از این‌که هر کشوری که اعلام شرکت در این کنفرانس می‌کند، این وحشت بیش‌از‌پیش نمایان می‌شود.

Peace, the goal that will be achieved through the Iranian opposition
Iran-Iraq war
Over the 40 past years, the mullahs’ regime has symbolized an
anti-peace and anti-stability government in the Middle East and the
world. In 1979, as soon as Khomeini seized power in Iran he began to
provoke the Iraqi Shiites against their government, leading to eight years of war
with this country, the longest war since the end of the WWII, with
hundreds of thousands of Iranians and Iraqis killed and wounded and
thousands of towns and villages destroyed.
Khomeini who had benefited from the 8-years Iran-Iraq war
historic declaration of “PEACE”
On the contrary, the Iranian Resistance (NCRI) led by Mr. Massoud Rajavi put its utmost effort to achieve peace between the two countries. In 1982, Iraqi forces withdrew from Iran’s border towns. Mr. Massoud Rajavi
seized this exceptional opportunity and began negotiation with the
Iraqi Foreign Minister in NCRI’s central office in Paris. Eventually,
Mr. Massoud Rajavi achieved the historic declaration of Peace for Iranian-Iraqi nations.
Massoud Rajavi achieved the historic declaration of Peace for Iranian-Iraqi nations.
But Khomeini who had benefited from the war, using the hypocritical slogan of “We can reach Quds via Karbala
(a holy city in Iraq)” as a cover-up for his internal suppression and
oppression as well as for forming his empire, not only did not comply
with the peace, but, by saying that “We will continue the war, even for
20 years if necessary, and till the last house in Tehran stands”, he
disdained any opportunity for a real peace.
Eventually, Khomeini was forced to assent to a temporary ceasefire to stop NLA’s operations that would have otherwise led to his overthrow.
“PEACE” synonyms “poison chalice”, Khomeini admit
He described accepting the ceasefire as a “poison chalice”, what many
have interpreted as his cause of death; and he never agreed with a comprehensive peace treaty.
As war, spread of terrorism and fomenting expansionism under the
pretext of Islam has been and is the regime’s tool for suppression,
oppression and inspiring its forces, Khomeini believed, and his
successors actually believe that peace equals to the burial of their
regime.
Ruling mullahs; top state-sponsor of terrorism
Thus, even though after 2003, when it politically invaded Iraq, the
regime still didn’t accept any peace treaty with this country.
The mullahs ruling Iran also use Iraq as a transit point to Syria and to provide their proxies in the region, including Hezbollah. Hassan Nasrallah admit that all the Hezbollah’s financial support comes from Iran
Indeed, if the Iranian resistance could not have stopped the war
machine of Khomeini through the sacrifice of men and women of this resistance at NLA, this erosive war would still be lasting with millions of casualties and refugees.
Disclosure of mullahs regime’s nuclear program made by the Iranian opposition
No need to say that, the world has become aware of the mullahs regime’s nuclear program because of the disclosure made by the Iranian opposition 15 years ago.
As the former US ambassador to UN, Ms. Nikki Haley has put it:
“It is hard to find a conflict or a terrorist group in the Middle East that does not have Iran’s fingerprints all over it.”
This fingerprint includes supporting Bashar Assad by weapons,
military advisers and money, supporting Hezbollah’s crises-making
machine, supporting Houthi rebels and other terrorist groups in the
region, which lead the wars on behalf of the mullahs’ regime. Of course,
exporting terror is counted as an inseparable part of this regime that
is the top state-sponsor of terrorism.
“PEACE” is the burial of Velayat-e-faqih
PEACE is the burial of Velayat-e-faqih
The regime’s leaders have declared that “if we do not fight in Syria, we have to fight in Tehran’s streets.”
Therefore, as Khomeini said that: “Peace is the burial of “Islam,”
(read the burial of Velayat-e-faqih), surely, the real and stable peace
will not be achieved until the rule of these mullahs, whose raison
d’être is warmongering, inciting crisis and export of terrorism is
buried.
Iranian opposition’s sacrifices to achieve “PEACE”
Standing alongside the Iranian opposition, the one force that left no
choice for the regime other than to accept the ceasefire in Iran-Iraq
war, and disclosed the regime’s nuclear program, is the true guaranty for achieving a long-lasting peace in the Middle East.
As Mrs. Maryam Rajavi has mentioned:
All incidents appear to send a uniform
message to the Iranian opposition abroad: The regime is willing and
capable of turning the clock back to the bad old days.
Sunday 14/10/2018
Under scrutiny. The conference room of
the Zahra Centre, the headquarters of a Shia association in northern
France, after it was raided by 200 policemen, on October 2. (AFP)
There was a time Iran
systematically assassinated Iranian opposition members in Europe. Some
of the more prominent assassinations of the 1980s and early 1990s were:
Shahriar Shafiq, the shah’s nephew; General Gholam-Ali Oveissi; former
Prime Minister Shapour Bakhtiar; regime critic Reza Mazlouman in France;
Iranian Kurdish opposition leaders in Austria and Germany and Kazem
Rajavi, representative of the People’s Mujahideen of Iran (MEK) to the
United Nations in Switzerland.
The practice of assassinating opponents abroad ended in the 1990s
when the regime in Tehran tried to gain respectability and international
acceptance. There are signs, however, that Iran is turning the clock
back to the bad old days.
The first ominous sign appeared in July when the Dutch General
Intelligence and Security Service confirmed it had expelled two Iranian
Embassy staff members but declined to provide details. The Iranian side
was not as closed-lipped. Mashregh, a news outlet close to the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps, disclosed that Dutch authorities were
investigating two murder cases, which they attributed to Iranian agents.
Ahmad Mola Abou Nahez, also known as Ahmad Nissi, founder of the
separatist Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz (ASMLA),
was killed November 9, 2017. Mohammad-Reza Samadi Kolahi, also known as
Ali Motamed, was shot dead in the Netherlands on December 15, 2015.
Kolahi was a former MEK member and wanted by the Tehran regime for
planting a bomb at the headquarters of the Islamic Republican Party in
1981, which killed 75 people, including Mohammad Beheshti, Supreme Court
chief.
The second sign of revival of Tehran’s terror squads became public in
July. On June 30, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which
serves as a front for the MEK, had a gathering in Paris. It hosted
several prominent guests such as former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich
and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, US President Donald Trump’s
lawyer.
The French government accused “Iranian intelligence” of plotting to
bomb the gathering. The alleged plotters, arrested in several European
countries, included Assadollah Assadi, an Iranian diplomat based in
Austria. He was arrested in Germany on the charge of handing a bomb to
two Belgian nationals of Iranian origin, in Luxembourg. The Belgian
nationals are Amir Sadouni and Nasimeh Noami, a married couple. When
arrested, they allegedly were in possession of half a kilogram of
explosives and a detonator.
Later, a certain Merhad A. was arrested in Paris on charges of being
an accomplice. Iranian media have since released photos of Sadouni at
MEK gatherings and claims the MEK staged the terrorist attack. The fake
attack was supposedly meant to be an act of provocation and discredit
the regime in Tehran.
A third possible plot was discovered by the Danish intelligence
services in September. Police began a manhunt, which briefly paralysed
Denmark after the authorities cut off the eastern island of Zealand and
Copenhagen, from the rest of the country. Police said they were looking
for a black Swedish-registered car with “possibly three people onboard”
in connection with “serious criminality.” The vehicle was found but
authorities have yet to report any arrests.
Several days later it became apparent that the Danish police expected
the assassination or kidnapping by Iranian agents of an individual who
goes by the pseudonym Yaqoub al-Tostari. He is the ASMLA spokesman and
defended the September 22 terrorist attack against a military parade in
Ahvaz.
All three incidents appear to send a uniform message to the Iranian
opposition abroad: The regime is willing and capable of turning the
clock back to the bad old days.
Iran: Bazaars strike; the Iranian resistance marches forward Following the widespread
truckers’ strike in Iran, the bazaars’ merchants and shopkeepers in
Tehran, along with dozens of other cities, went on strike. Strike in more than 50 Iranian cities
These strikes are taking place in several sections of Tehran’s
bazaars and in more than 50 cities of Iran, including Mashhad, Tabriz,
Isfahan, Shiraz, etc., in protest against the mullahs’ anti-popular
policies which have led to widespread high prices and poverty as well as
economic recession.
A surge in the spirit of resistance which is mirrored in the
continuation of protests and strike indicates the anger and
dissatisfaction of the people towards the plundering ruling mullahs. It
also shows the public desire to overthrow the present anti-national
regime, and to replace it with a government, elected by the popular vote
of the Iranian people to achieve freedom and social justice.
We will certainly be witnessing more strikes involving more cities in coming days. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: Continuation of the strike; the popular desire for regime change Mrs. Maryam Rajavi commended the brave bazaar merchants and shopkeepers in Tehran and dozens of other Iranian cities who are on strike against the mullahs’ plundering regime. Mrs. Rajavi described the nationwide strike by bazaar merchants and
truck drivers as a part of the people’s uprising with the goal of
overthrowing the regime and establishing freedom and social justice.
She said that under the mullahs’ regime, the wealth of Iran’s people,
which should be spent on economic improvements and people’s prosperity,
is wasted on suppression and export of terrorism and external wars and
is stolen by the ruling mullahs.

While humans lack the ability to see
into the future, we do possess the power to analyze our world to predict
what the future has in store for us. The result of Iran’s so-called
presidential election back in May rendered a second term for the
incumbent Hassan Rouhani. During Iran’s short election season, lasting
no less than a month, the mullahs’ cunningly downgraded crackdown
measures,
decreasing executions and increasing social freedoms to lure the general public into polling stations.
Nevertheless,
the all-male slate of cabinet candidates presented by Rouhani to the
parliament for approval provides a dark insight of what awaits the
Iranian people and the international community. To make a long story
short, these are names consisting of former Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) members, hostage takers, executioners, torturers and thieves.
This
is a signal of Iran fueling a future of further wars, crackdown,
massacres, exporting terrorism and fundamentalism, and killing sprees
targeting the region’s nations.
While
Iran apologists and the appeasement camp misled the international
community to naively describe Rouhani as a smiling “moderate,” his first
term rendered over 3,000 executions and went mostly neglected. Knowing
the Obama administration desperately needed a legacy-defining foreign
policy achievement, Rouhani and the mullahs saw a green light to press
the gas pedal on executions.
After deactivating the gallows shortly for the May elections, the mullahs returned to their true nature and resorted to over 100 executions in July alone. This consists of an average of at least one execution every eight hours.
This
should be a wake-up call for European states that have banned
executions altogether, and yet are willing to signature lucrative
economic deals with Tehran, such as Airbus, Total and Renault.
Rouhani’s
list of cabinet candidates has raised quite a stir. After providing a
variety of promises during his election campaign, he failed to present
even a single female minister candidate. Only under a wave of protests
and pressures did Rouhani give in to naming three female vice
presidents, providing nothing more than symbolic roles.
There
are also reports indicating Rouhani ran through his candidates in close
coordination with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This goes
against Iranian political norms — Khamenei is known to have a say in a
number of specific candidates, including the key ministers of defense,
foreign affairs and intelligence.
Anger
mounted during his first term over Rouhani’s ironic decision to appoint
Mostafa Pourmohammadi as his justice minister. Pourmohammadi is known
for his direct role in the notorious 1988 massacre of
over 30,000 political prisoners, mostly members and supporter members
of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
And
while Pourmohammadi is set aside in Rouhani’s second term cabinet, his
replacement, Alireza Avaie, is adding insult to injury. Avaie also
played a leading role in the 1988 massacre in Khuzestan Province,
southwest Iran. The Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of
Iran (NCRI)
held a press conference in September unveiling Avaie’s involvement in
executions of Younesco Prison in the city of Dezful. The majority of
Iran’s Arab community are resident in the country’s southwest regions.
Other
names in Rouhani’s cabinet indicate a bleak second term riddled with
crackdown measures and going back on all election season promises.
Mohammad
Javad Azari Jahromi is appointed to serve as the new minister of
communications and information technology. This is an individual who
entered the mullahs’ hated Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) at the age of
21, becoming involved in interrogations, torture and censorship in his
early days.
During the 2009 uprising
Jahromi was appointed as the MOIS Director of Surveillance. He is known
to have expanded this department and his appointment is seen as
Rouhani’s attempt to confront the PMOI/MEK’s increasing popularity
amongst Iran’s population through social media networks. Iran is known
to have a young and very active social media population of over 40
million users.
Amir Hatami is set to
become Iran’s new defense minister. Joining the ultraconservative and
repressive IRGC Bassij paramilitaries at the age of 12, Hatami is known
for his active and enthusiastic participation in the regime’s crackdown
and killing campaigns. He is amongst the Bassij members tasked to join
Iran’s classic army and quickly rose the ranks to provide the mullahs
the influence they sought in this force. Hatami also played an important
role in identifying, arresting and eliminating any army member showing
even the slightest sign of patriotic devotion and acting against the
mullahs’ interests.
Habibollah
Beetaraf, Rouhani’s candidate for the new labor minister, was amongst
the so-called “college students” who stormed the US Embassy back in 1979
and took 52 American diplomats hostage. He was one of the first IRGC
members and participated in literally herding teenagers and even small
children into minefields during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s.
Iran’s
industry, mines and trade will be managed by Mohammad Shariatmadari,
famous for actively playing a part in the regime’s crackdown and
plundering. He is heavily involved in managing Khamenei’s conglomerate,
known as the “Setad Ejraiye Farmane Hazrate Emam” – Headquarters for Executing the Order of the Imam, controlling a large percentage of the regime’s economic empire. $95 billion is this massive entity’s estimated capital.
This
lineup provides a dark glimpse into what the future will bring for the
Iranian people and neighboring nations. For example, following July’s
execution spree, the mullahs’ regime reportedly sent 13 individuals to
the gallows on August 10th alone.
This
atrocity included 11 hangings in a mass killing in the city of Birjand,
eastern Iran; one execution in a small town in northern Iran; and the
horrific execution of 20-year-old Alireza Tajiki, arrested at the age of
15 at the time of his alleged crime.
Amnesty
International demanding Tehran halt this hanging fell on deaf ears and
Iran’s mullahs once again proved their sinister cruelty and lack of
respect for any humane values and international laws.
Rouhani’s
second term will bring nothing but additional economic and social
devastation, parallel to political crackdown, destructive meddling
across the region and continuing Iran’s ballistic missile/nuclear
drives. Rouhani neither has the will nor intention to bring about any
meaningful change in this regime’s foundations, infrastructure, nature
or approach.
What else is expected
from an individual who for 40 years has actively participated in the
regime’s oppression and warmongering. Rouhani was the first Iranian
regime official to call for public executions to teach the Iranian
people a lesson.
Despite claims
otherwise, Rouhani is part and parcel of the mullahs’ establishment, and
he, too, seeks to maintain this system intact and in power. Hence, the
international community needs to understand no change will emerge from
this medieval, reactionary-minded regime.
The Iranian people and their organized opposition finally deserve the support and recognition they have been deprived of for the past four decades.
Last week, a panel of US senators headed by Roy Blunt arrived in Tirana and met with Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran(NCRI) and members of the People's Mojahedin Organization(PMOI/MEK).
The Senate delegation consisted of Senators Roy Blunt,
Vice President of the Republican Conference, and member of the
Appropriation, Select Intelligence, Rules and Administration, and
Commerce, Science, and Transportation committees; John Cornyn, the Majority Whip, and a member of the Judiciary, Select Intelligence, and Finance committees; and Thom Tillis, a member of the Armed Services, Judiciary, Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and Veterans’ Affairs committees.
During
this meeting, the situation of the members of the PMOI/MEK in Albania,
the latest situation in Iran and the region, and solutions to end the
crisis in the region were discussed, American senators welcomed the
relocation of PMOI/MEK members of Camp Liberty in Iraq to Albania .It
should be remembered that the last group of members of the People's
Mojahedin Organization of Iran(PMOI/MEK), who lived in Camp Liberty near
Iraq, was relocated to Albania last year.
Maryam Rajavi thanked
the Senators for their decisive position vis-à-vis the Iranian regime,
especially the adoption of a new resolution which imposed sanctions on
the clerical regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) for human rights abuses, the ballistic missile program, and the export of terrorism.
Maryam
Rajavi emphasized that contrary to the propaganda by the Iranian
regime’s apologists, the ruling theocracy was rotten to the core and
very fragile. Without foreign support, especially the policy of
appeasement pursued in the U.S. and Europe, it would not have survived
so long. She added that regime change in Iran is necessary and within
reach because a viable and democratic alternative exists. Maryam Rajavi
said equating regime change by the Iranian people for democracy with war
and instability in the region is a sheer lie, the source of which is
the Iranian regime’s lobby in western capitals. They demagogically turn
the truth on its head, she noted, adding that the overthrow of the
Tehran regime was a prerequisite to ending crisis and war in the Middle
East.
Maryam Rajavi underscored the need for expelling the IRGC and
its affiliated militias from Syria, Iraq, and other regional countries,
taking urgent steps to punish the regime for widespread political
executions, especially the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners.
It
should be remembered that this meeting was just three weeks after the
adoption of strong US sanctions against the Iranian regime and black
list of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), there is a strong
message to the Iranian regime that conditions have changed and the winds
do not blow the interests of Iran, But now the winds are in the
interests of the PMOI/MEK, And this group has a special status as the
only group and democratic alternative in the international community and
among politicians, especially American politicians. Of course, it
should not be forgotten that the PMOI/MEK, despite the conspiracies and
the desire of the regime to destroy them, were able to keep their
organization, which are now at the forefront of a resistance movement to
overthrow this regime.
The Iranian
regime probably understands the meaning of this visit, because it knows
that the issue of regime change is not just the desire Iranian people,
but it is also a regional demand. The regime also knows that due to its
destructive activities in the region, particularly its support for
Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, its support for the Houthi
fundamentalist group in Yemen, as well as its active financial and arms
support for Lebanon's Hezbollah all the countries in the region oppose
it, Therefore, the policy of regime change has become an international
and regional demand.
Human rights, in particular, bringing to
justice the officials involved in the 1988 massacre, should be at the
core of Iran policyHuman rights defenders, dignitaries, European
politicians and the Iranian Resistance called for the formation of an
international commission of inquiry into the massacre of political
prisoners in Iran in the summer of 1988 and bringing those responsible
for this genocide and crime against humanity to justice.
They
stressed that the issue of human rights should be at the core of the
West’s policy on Iran. They urged the UN, EU and the US to put the issue
of flagrant and systematic violation of human rights in Iran on top of
their agenda.
The call was made
during an exhibition on the 1988 massacre that took place upon the
initiative of Mr. Jean-François Legaret, the Mayor of Paris municipality
District 1 at this municipality on Thursday, August 17, 2017.
In
addition to Mr. Legaret, several French mayors including Armand
Jacquemin, mayor of Moussy Le Vieux, Jean-Claude Jegoudez, mayor of
Grisy-Sur-Seine, and Jacky Duminy, mayor of Ors took part and spoke at
the exhibition.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi,
the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, in a message to the
exhibition said 30,000 political prisoners were hanged in Iran in days
such as these in the summer of 1988, without any reaction by Western
governments.
Those who remained
silent over this tragedy betrayed humanity because the mullahs found out
that their crimes had no consequences. So, they continued by exporting
their terrorism and fundamentalism abroad and drenching the Middle East
in blood.
If in those days, the massacre had not been met with silence, today, the mullahs could not sink Syria in a whirlpool of blood.
The
people of Iran want to end the impunity of those in charge of the
massacre and hold them accountable. This has turned into the Iranian
people’s most important political demand from the clerical regime. We
urge the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to set up an independent
commission of inquiry to investigate the 1988 massacre. The UN Security
Council must set up a special tribunal or refer the issue to the
International Criminal Court to arrange for the prosecution of the
leaders of the Iranian regime. Mrs. Rajavi once again urged all
governments to make their relations and trade with the religious fascism
ruling Iran contingent on an end to executions and torture.
Governor
Yves Bonnet, the former head of France’s domestic anti-terrorism
organization; Struan Stevenson, a Scottish politician, President of
“European Iraqi Freedom Association” and former President of the
European Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with Iraq, were among the
dignitaries who took part in this exhibition and supported the call by
the head of the opposition.
In his
remarks, Stevenson condemned the recent trip of EU foreign policy chief
Federica Mogherini to Iran and said: “Rouhani has been hailed in the
West as a moderate and a reformist, despite the fact that more than
3,500 people, including 80 women, have been executed during the four
years he has been in office, catapulting Iran into pole position as the
world’s number one state executioner per capita. Several hundred people
have been executed so far this year, including women and teenagers.
Three days before Mogherini arrived in Tehran, Amnesty International
published a 94-page report highlighting the ‘web of oppression’ that
pervades Iran and detailing the catastrophic human rights situation in
the country.”
He added: “The French government and the EU
should also be demanding a full United Nations inquiry into the 1988
massacre, with Khamenei, Rouhani and their clique of killer clerics
indicted for crimes against humanity and brought for trial before the
international courts in The Hague.”
Khomeini,
the founder of the clerical regime in the summer of 1988, in a fatwa
that was unprecedented in the history of Islam, stated that all those
who were imprisoned throughout Iran and were still loyal to the People’s
Mojahedin Organization of Iran should be executed. More than 30,000
political prisoners who were serving their terms were executed in a few
months based on this criminal fatwa. The Death Commissions, in trials
that lasted just a few minutes, sent to the gallows any of the prisoners
who were not willing to condemn the PMOI (MEK). The victims were buried
in mass graves in secret.
In spite of the mullahs’ attempts to
impose silence on this crime against humanity and to prevent the spread
of this issue in the society, the movement calling for justice for the
victims of the massacre in Iran has expanded since last year and has
evolved into a public issue. The Justice seeking movement in Iran
managed to corner the mullahs.
Ali
Khamenei intended to put a member of the 1988 massacre’s Death
Commission in the office of president, but the nationwide campaign
calling for justice foiled his plans.
During
the last year, new information about the slaughter, including a large
number of names of the victims, as well as the locations of numerous
mass graves which the mullahs had previously concealed, has surfaced.
The
1988 massacre and the conspiracy of silence has been an issue of
consensus among the regime’s various factions and its senior officials.
Over
the past four years, the mullahs’ president Hassan Rouhani had
appointed Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, one of the key officials in charge of
the 1988 massacre, as Minister of Justice. The new Justice Minister for
his second term, Alireza Avaie, is another one of the perpetrators of
the massacre, who has been already designated as a violator of human
rights by the European Union.
A
number of relatives of the victims and individuals who spent years in
prison in Iran and were tortured shared their observations with the
audience during the exhibition.
After decades of appeasement policy
regard Iranian regime and disappointment of emerging a moderate faction
from within the regime, the condition is changed. Even the whisper of
regime change in Iran can be heard by the policy makers. For
apologists of appeasement policy, who, by accident!!!, have vast
economic benefits in Iran, ‘regime change’ is the most hatred topic
and scramble to find ways of stopping the rising tide of desire for democracy and regime change in Iran.
Heshmat Alavi, a political activist wrote an article in Forbes over the topic.
The
pro-Iran deal camp is recently making much noise about how the Trump
administration and critics of the pact, known as the Joint Comprehensive
Plan of Action (JCPOA), are making rightful complaints of the text
failing to address Iran’s destructive belligerence in the Middle East.
These
are valid concerns, considering the fact that even if the deal remains
intact come October’s decision by President Donald Trump to find Iran in
compliance or not, the mullahs are hell-bent to continue wreaking havoc
and expanding influence across the region.
The pro-Iran deal camp claim Washington has no evidence to hold Tehran in violation of the JCPOA terms. Not true.
Tehran has exceeded its heavy water production cap, necessary for a plutonium nuclear bomb,
testing more advanced centrifuges,
illicitly
procuring highly sensitive nuclear and ballistic missile technology in
Germany, according to Berlin’s intelligence services,
surpassing its uranium enrichment cap, another key non-compliance factor
The
pro-JCPOA camp also argues this deal has prevented Iran from becoming
the next North Korea. This is partially true and misleads only the
uninformed reader. A deal very similar to the JCPOA, led by the Clinton
administration, was signed with North Korea and ended up in dismal
failure. This left the world with a rogue state now equipped with at
least 20 nuclear bombs, intercontinental ballistic missiles and the
technology to miniaturize a nuclear warhead in its payload.
While
the JCPOA was intended to keep Iran away from nuclear weapons, why
shouldn’t Washington lead the West in demanding Iran curb its further belligerence, such as advances in its ballistic missile drive, increasing executions and atrocious human rights violations, and stirring mayhem in the Middle East?
Iran
must be held responsible for "its missile launches, support for
terrorism, disregard for human rights, and violations of U.N. Security
Council resolutions," U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said Tuesday.
Speaking
of this flashpoint region, legitimate concerns exist over Iran
establishing a “Shiite crescent” stretching from Afghanistan to the
Mediterranean. Important to note is the fact that JCPOA flaws, and the
Obama administration’s desperate nature to sign a deal as a foreign
policy legacy, provided Iran a windfall of billions to stoke its support
for the Assad regime in Syria.
“Iran
has been helpful in Iraq by fighting the Islamic State,” is how The New
York Times describes Tehran’s campaign in its western neighbor, failing
to even mention how Iran-backed Shiite militias and death squads have
launched massacres, killing sprees and forced displacements targeting
Iraq’s Sunnis and other minorities. While Iraq was a melting pot of
peoples of different backgrounds living intertwined in peace and for
centuries, Iran’s fueling of sectarian wars has created a dangerously
wide rift of hatred.
Iran’s measures
in supporting Yemen’s Houthis in their illegitimate fight against an
internationally recognized government, funding of the Lebanese Hezbollah
and supporting the Afghan Taliban as an ally against the US add all the
more reason for strong action against Tehran.
In
parallel fashion, the pro-appeasement camp continues to seek ties
between Washington and Tehran, similar to the “working relationship”
established between former US top diplomat John Kerry and his Iranian
counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Iran
apologists are quick to criticize current US Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson for refusing to meet Iranians, while easily brushing aside the
undeniable truth that Tehran usurped its warmed relations with the
Obama administration to concurrently prop up the Assad regime and its
massacring of innocent Syrian women and children, especially with
chemical weapons.
Another question
Iran apologists have allowed Tehran to go by never answering is this:
Why do the mullahs continuously insist on such a politically and
economically expensive nuclear program while sitting on the world’s
second largest natural gas reserve and fourth largest crude oil reserve?
If
the mullahs truly sought the better interest of the “Iranian nation,”
as they have claimed for the past forty years, why don’t they turn off
the lights on their nuclear program and reap in all the incentives and
lucrative economic contracts that will most definitely follow?
And
why the sudden regime change-phobia on Iran? Yes, many critics
correctly point out the fact that regime change policies in Afghanistan,
Iraq and Libya have gone south. Yet why do these critics fail to go the
distance and carefully evaluate the main reason behind these failures?
Afghanistan,
Iraq and Libya lacked any solution and alternative to replace their
ruling states with true democracies. This is not the case with Iran.
The
Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a
coalition of numerous dissident groups and individuals, led by its
charismatic President Maryam Rajavi, has a ten-point plan for the future of Iran.
Universal
suffrage, pluralism, individual freedoms, abolition of the death
penalty, separation of church state, gender equality, rule of law,
commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, peaceful
coexistence and a non-nuclear Iran all meet the modern democracies in
the West.
The NCRI, with the People's
Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) as its core member, has been
gaining serious momentum in the past few months. Senator John McCain,
Chairman of the US Senate Armed Services Committee met with NCRI
President Rajavi in April. Last month hundreds of international
dignitaries and over 100,000 members of the Iranian Diaspora voiced
support for regime change in Iran in a massive Paris rally.
And as the Trump administration is weighing its comprehensive Iran policy, a high-profile delegation of US senators recently visited Maryam
Rajavi and PMOI/MEK members in Albania. This visit sends strong signals
as Rajavi and the PMOI/MEK are the legitimate flagbearers of regime
change in Tehran.
Riyadh Daily, 16 August 2017 - The
Iranian regime is attempting to secure a corridor through Iraq, Syria,
and Lebanon, providing a supply route for its numerous terrorist proxies
in the region.Iran’s clandestine nuclear and ballistic missile drive,
support for terrorism and domestic crackdown are all aimed at
maintaining the Tehran’s fascist mullahs in power and pursue their
regional policies.
This notorious
objective, in direct conflict with those of the regional and global
coalitions to fight terrorism and extremism, can be stopped. Eviction of
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
and all its proxy forces from the Middle East must complete the new US
Congress sanctions. With President Donald Trump signaling his approval,
this first and foremost step should be taken with hesitation following
the sanctions.
The US House of
Representatives voted overwhelmingly to rally major new sanctions on
Iran, parallel to measures on North Korea and Russia. To impose
additional sanctions on Iran’s defense sector, the House voted 419-3.
Coming after three weeks of negotiations, this bill “tightens the screws
on our most dangerous adversaries,” explained House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Maryam Rajavi , the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ),
welcomed the adoption of a bill by both chambers of the US Congress
which imposes new sanctions on the Iranian regime for violating human
rights and pursuing ballistic missiles.
“Since several years ago, the Iranian Resistance had urged the terrorist designation of the IRGC,
as it preserves the entirety of the clerical regime and acts as its
main apparatus for domestic suppression and export of terrorism and
fundamentalism,” she stressed. “However, the policy of appeasing the
mullahs’ religious dictatorship paved the way for the IRGC and its
proxies’ rampage in the entire region.”
A
look back at the pivotal role Iran played in the rise and flourishing
of ISIS, parallel to sectarian conflicts in the region, will help find
the right tracks for security in the region.
In
2008, a joint campaign led by the U.S. military and Iraqi Sunnis rooted
al-Qaeda in Iraq, the precursor to ISIS. However, the Obama
administration’s decision to pull back and deliver the country to former
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a close ally of the Iranian regime,
eventually led to the unraveling of all previous achievements.
Maliki
dismantled the Iraqi “Awakening Council” and gave Iran free pass to
exert its full influence on Iraq’s political and military apparatus.
In tandem, the destruction and crimes committed by the IRGC and
Bashar al-Assad regime against the Syrian people provided the perfect
breeding ground for sectarian strife and allowed ISIS to occupy a wide
swath of land straddling both countries.
The
Iranian regime became the main beneficiary of the rampage caused by
ISIS and subsequently used it as an excuse to expand its clout by
forming and later legalizing the IRGC-equivalent Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).
This entity has become notoriously renowned for its crimes against
humanity, no less horrendous than those committed by ISIS.
Iran’s
highest officials have time and again acknowledged funding and
supporting the criminal militia forces in Iraq and Syria, expressing
their vested interest in occupying neighboring countries through
whatever means.
The Obama
administration’s hands-off approach vis-à-vis Iran’s regional ambitions
provided Tehran a far better opportunity to pursue its nefarious agendas
under the pretext of fighting ISIS. Speculations raised U.S. officials
on possible cooperation with Iran in the fight against terrorism only
made matters worse.
Now, as ISIS is
losing influence and ground, Iran is attempting to fill the gap. Letting
it have its way would be a recipe for disaster, as proven in the past
eight years.
Despite the threats and
taunts broadcasted regularly Iran’s state media, the regime is far from
capable or inclined to enter open warfare with any other state in the
region or across the globe.
Tehran’s proxies are only as good as the funding and supplies the regime provides. Without IRGC support Iran’s proxies will be hard-pressed to spread their mayhem in the region.
Sanctions
alone, however, will not be enough. Tehran has found ways to continue
causing mischief under the toughest sanctions regime.
The
threats rendered by Tehran will only end with regime change in Iran.
This will initially benefit the people of Iran, being the first victims
of this regime’s criminal ideology, and categorically reject its
destructive foreign policy, both inside the country and abroad.
One
of the greatest manifestations of the Iranian people’s desire for
change was expressed at the July 1st Free Iran gathering in Paris. Tens
of thousands of Iranian expats as well as politicians, activists and
religious figures from across the world attended the rally to express
their solidarity and support for the cause of freedom and democracy in
Iran. The event had a clear message: regime change in Iran is the only
viable solution for both the people of Iran and the region’s nations.
There’s no need for another foreign conflict. The people of Iran and their organized resistance have the will, power and means necessary to realize this change.
Saudi Prince 'Turki Al Faisal'
also addressed the massive gathering. “So, you have coming together now
a mighty coalition of forces, joining with the Resistance, and that
should give us hope that we can make that [regime] change,” he stressed.
