Massacre In Syria Is Why Iran Must Be Evicted

Reports indicate all hospitals in Idlib Province are struggling to provide care for casualties from Khan Sheikhoun.
The Syrian crisis has recently been gaining increasing attention in the international stage, with the tide turning against Assad and his main supporter, Iran. As rebels staged surprising attacks in Damascus recently, social media activists campaigned through the hashtag #IranOutOfSyria to raise voice against Tehran’s deadly meddling in Syria.

Public opinion in the Arab World has been increasingly against the role played by Iran through its Revolutionary Guards – the entity behind Tehran’s human rights violations, nuclear program and ballistic missile drive – and a conglomerate of proxy groups in Syria.

Maryam Rajavi: Chemical Attack on Idlib Is a Major War Crime; Those Responsible Must Be Brought to Justice

The Iranian Resistance's President-elect Maryam Rajavi described as "a major war crime" the chemical attack on Idlib and the ruthless carnage of defenseless people, particularly the innocent children.

Khamenei and Bashar Assad are responsible for this chemical attack, as was the case of in the August 2013 chemical bombardment, and they must be brought to justice, Mrs. Rajavi reiterated.

Iran Regime's State-Run Newspaper: No Lock Has Been Unlocked by Rouhani's Key

NCRI - The state-run Resalat Newspaper on April 4th in an article stressed on the inconclusive electoral promises addressed by the Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani after 4 years of power. The newspaper writes with sarcasm:"Rouhani always gripped a big key in his hand during presidential campaigns as well as political meetings.

Massacre In Syria Is Why Iran Must Be Evicted

International media aired horrifying images of Bashar Assad’s most recent massacre through an atrocious chemical attack staged by his Sukhoi 22 warplanes targeting the city of Khan Sheikhoon in Idlib Province, in Syria’s north. At least 100 suffocated to death and more than 400 were left injured with symptoms similar to those caused by sarin gas. Most of the victims were women and children and even the hospital where the victims were being treated was bombed.

Iran: Mullahs Terrified of Internet, social Media

NCRI - Mullah Ahmad Khatami, a known figure of the faction loyal to Regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, described the Iranian people’s active use of the Internet and social media as a “cultural war.” This “cultural war” is more difficult than a “military war,” he warned.

Khamenei, since 1991, referred to this threat using various terms, such as cultural assault, cultural NATO and cultural raid.

“Today we must sense the threat,” Khatami continued.

The young should “feel this threat”, since “they are using the Internet and social media more than other walks of life,” he emphasized, going on to claim the Internet “is a blaze targeting religion, morals and social independence.”

Iran Regime's Lies Citing Tunisian President and Algerian Prime Minister, Ridicules of Instability and Growing Isolation

NCRI - Tunisian Presidential Spokesman Reza Buqazi denied the remarks attributed by Iran regime to Tunisian President al-Baji Qaed al-Sabasi in his meeting with Tehran’s Minister of Culture and Guidance.

Iran’s state-run media quoted al-Sabasi saying, “Iran is a supporter of the Islamic World against the Zionist regime,” adding he hoped all Arab and Islamic countries would stand shoulder to shoulder with Iran in this face-off

Algerian foreign ministry spokesperson Abdul Aziz bin Ali Al-Sharif said that some Iranian media reports regarding the topics discussed between the two men are inaccurate, the Algerian official news agency reported on Sunday.

Iran Regime Not OK With Islamic NATO

ISLAMABAD: Iran today said it has reservations on the appointment of Pakistan's former army chief Gen Raheel Sharif as the head of the Saudi-led 39-nation Islamic military alliance, warning that it may "impact" the unity among Muslim countries. ‘The Economic Times’ reported on April 3, 2017.

Iran's state-run IRNA news agency quoted the country's Ambassador to Pakistan Mehdi Honardoost as saying that Tehran had conveyed its concerns to Islamabad.

"We are concerned about this issue... that it may impact the unity of Islamic countries," Honardoost said.

"But that does not indicate that Iran is satisfied with this decision or it has accepted the same," the envoy was quoted as saying by Dawn newspaper.

Perfect Timing To Raise The Tone On Iran

After enjoying eight years of active appeasement, engagement and rapprochement from the U.S. under the tenure of President Barack Obama, Iran is beginning to feel the heat, significantly to say the least, in the wake of increasingly harsh remarks made by a slate of American and international correspondents. And with crucial presidential elections looming just around the corner as scheduled for May the 19^th, this rise in the tone of the international community couldn’t come at a worst timing for Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump made it clear recently of setting aside all obstacles before Bahrain purchasing F-16 warplanes. This initiative was suspended by the Obama administration and this new measure sends a clear signal to Iran, after Trump has described Iran as the main state sponsor of terror.

ANALYSIS: Is the Arab Summit alliance raising stakes for Iran?

https://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2017/04/03/ANALYSIS-Is-the-Arab-Summit-alliance-raising-stakes-for-Iran-.html

A more in-depth perspective places us before this important conclusion that most speakers strongly criticized Iran’s meddling and highlighted the necessity of solidarity and alliance amongst Arab states to confront this phenomenon. Leaders of Saudi Arabia and Jordan specifically expressed their grave concerns over Iran’s interference across the region, especially Syria, sectarian warmongering and Tehran’s state sponsorship of terrorism.

“Tehran provokes sectarianism and hinders efforts to resolve regional crises,” said Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit.

Iran’s setback

Significant is the fact that the Arab Summit initially prepared a relatively low-profile draft resolution adopting a soft tone in relation to Iran. However, the final resolution prepared and published by Arab League Foreign Ministers reflected the majority members’ position, being completely against Iran and the mullahs’ policies of meddling and supporting terrorism.

However, a few Arab countries such as Iraq and Lebanon – literally taken hostage by Iran – or Algeria, enjoying specific interests in its relations with the mullahs’ regime, could not jump on this resolution train.

Forecast: Increasing Isolation for Iran

https://www.algemeiner.com/2017/03/30/forecast-increasing-isolation-for-iran/

After enjoying eight “golden” years of President Barack Obama’s all-out appeasement approach, the mullahs in Iran are feeling the wrath of isolation, with senior international figures lashing out at the regime in Tehran and calling for action against it.

British Parliament members from all leading parties registered a resolution discussing crimes of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) against the Iranian people and its terrorist meddling across the Middle East. The move calls for the expulsion of the IRGC and all its dispatched proxy foot-soldiers spread out across the region.

إصرار الشعب الايراني على إسقاط نظام الجمهورية الاسلامية الايرانية الذي أذاقه الويلات، لم يعد مجرد مسألة عادية بالامکان تجاوزها او تخطيها، لأن الشعوب فيما لو دخلت على الخط فإن کل المعادلات و المراهنات ستتغير و ستنقلب طاولة المخططات و المؤمرات على رؤوس أصحابها، لکن مشکلة النظام الايراني لاتنحصر فقط في دخول الشعب الايراني على خط المواجهة ضده وانما ذلك الاقتحام الاستثنائي لساحة الاحداث السياسية من جانب منظمة مجاهدي خلق"أبرز فصيل سياسي معارض للنظام و صاحب الدور الاکبر في إسقاط نظام الشاه عام 1979"، والذي لفت الانظار إليه بقوة و فرض نفسه بمثابة الرقم الاصعب في المشهد السياسي الايراني، وهذا الامر وضع النظام في موقع صعب و معقد دفعه لکي يفکر و بطرق شيطانية في إستغلال نفوذه في  العراق و لبنان و سوريا و دفعه بإتجاهات تخدم مصالحم الضيقة في طهران.

For Iranians, Nowruz symbolizes change. It heralds the end of the dark, dull days of winter, and the arrival of the flourishing days of spring. The dawn of a "new day," Nowruz, and the coming of spring bear a simple, yet, at the same time, compelling message: The freedom of springtime is inevitable. It may be delayed, but it can't be stopped.

Guests from different academic institutions, think tanks, the U.S. Government, and the U.S. Congress joined senior former U.S. officials and leaders of the Iranian-American communities at the colorful and lively event. The traditional Haftseen table and a beautiful exhibition of Iranian handcraft decorated the room, bringing important culture to the celebration.

NCRI - March 29. 2017 - Senator Robert Torricelli spoke at the Grand Gathering of the Iranian Resistance and its supporters celebrating the Great Nowruz, the following is an excerpt of his speech.

Thank you. My friends, it is only the first day of spring and already my prayers have been answered: a new Ashraf has been created before your eyes!

A new house of Iranian freedom has been built and you built it with your own hands. To those listening in Iran, someday your children’s children will walk these halls, the path of these buildings, look at monuments built in your honor and they will say “In the darkest hours of Iranian history, when all hope was lost, freedom had been vanquished, 3,000 brave souls never gave up, never gave in, kept free, built Ashraf and fought for Iranian freedom”.

Iran And The Revolutionary Guards' Economic Powerhouse

For slightly over a decade the office of Irani Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been quietly and yet surely taking full control over a large swathe of Iran’s economy, all under the deceptive pretext of privatization.

The motive driving this major effort forward can be understood in the desire, and need, seen in Khamenei and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) to enjoy all the more control and influence over Iran’s vast natural resources.

Believe Iran, Not Its Ayatollahs

To Iran's mullahs, it's a pity that their party with the former United States administration did not last longer. The Obama administration was regarded as a symbol of friendship and brotherhood in the eyes of the Ayatollahs. But, those days are gone and the inhabitants of the earth now no longer witness the deep-rooted, umm, friendship, between the Obama Administration and His Excellency Javad Zarif.

But let's take a look at how this appears from inside Iran. Iranians themselves say they had hoped that the next proper place for officials of the two states to continue their lengthy negotiations would be in the middle of Iran’s Karoon River, or rather, the middle of Iran's former Karoon River, the longest river in the country, which discharged its water into the Persian Gulf, and is now dried out.

ANALYSIS: Here’s how to blueprint the most effective Iran policy

http://www.iranfreedom.org/en/terrorism/852-analysis-here-s-how-to-blueprint-the-most-effective-iran-policy

Iran has been continuing its series of blatant measures in defiance of norms accepted as standard by the international community, all as the Trump administration continues to weigh on blacklisting the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Iran has gone as far as pledging to launch “roaring missiles” in response to threats. To this day, several ballistic missile launches – capable of delivering nuclear payloads – have been Tehran’s report card.

Reports also show Iran increasing its support of the Houthis in Yemen by providing “Kamikazi” drones, water and airborne, to threaten shipping lines in Bab el-Mandeb and most certainly Saudi Navy ships, as weapons analystsconfirmed forces aligned with former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh are also using these weapons to target missile-defense systems used by Saudi-led coalition units.

Is Iran expanding its spying and lobbying efforts?

http://www.iranfreedom.org/en/extremism/854-is-iran-expanding-its-spying-and-lobbying-efforts

Mahmoud Alavi, Iran's spy chief, bragged about the regime's capability to run a lobby group in Washington with the aim of promoting Tehran's hardline agenda.

According to Alavi, Iranian dual citizens in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom have maintained their loyalty to the "Islamic revolution,"

the mullahs' hallmark motto ever since 1979, through which they have wreaked havoc across the region and beyond.

A "lobby group for the Islamic Republic of Iran" is actively bolstering Tehran's status in the international stage and helping to sell and legitimize its nuclear ambitions as just causes to the globe, Alavi claimed.

Iran: Female Prisoner Once Again Transferred to Solitary Confinement

http://www.ncr-iran.org/en/news/women/22421-iran-female-prisoner-once-again-transferred-to-solitary-confinement

NCRI - According to reports, prison officials in Kerman Central Prison have on Saturday March 25 transferred Afsaneh Bayazidi to solitary confinement, where the Kurdish girl will be held till the end of this week, namely for 15 days, according to a decision made by security officials.

An informed source from inside the prison has confirmed that Afsaneh Bayazidi has been ‘questioned and interrogated’ by Kerman Central Prison officials after writing a closed letter to Iranian regime’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, according to a Kurdish news agency.
The letter has been handed over by prison officials to security agents, who have severely beaten Afsaneh afterwards, the report says.

In her letter, Afsaneh Bayzidi has pointed to ‘insults, assaults, and brutal tortures’ by prison officials across Iran’s prisons, saying that Khamenei is to blame for such a situation.

Is Iran expanding its spying and lobbying efforts?

The Iranian intelligence minister's recent remarks, pertaining to Tehran overseeing a spy/lobby network in important capitals across the world, is cause for concern.

طالبت المقاومة الإيرانية، اليوم السبت، بتمديد مهمة المقررة الخاصة المعنية بحقوق الإنسان في إيران، وضرورة إحالة جرائم النظام الإيراني إلى مجلس الأمن الدولي

وأوضحت المقاومة أن مجلس حقوق الإنسان التابع للأمم المتحدة أقر يوم الجمعة 24 مارس2017 خلال جلسة له، تمديد مهمة المقررة الخاصة المعنية بحقوق الإنسان في إيران لمدة عام آخر، وجاء هذا القرار في وقت كان فيه النظام الفاشي الديني الحاكم في إيران وبعض من الدول المنتهكة لحقوق الإنسان يسعون للحول دون صدور القرار بأي شكل ممكن. 

وأشارت، إلى أن القرار يدعو كذلك نظام الملالي إلى التعاون الكامل مع المقررة الخاصة، والسماح لها بزيارة إيران وتوفير جميع المعلومات الضرورية، لتنفيذ مهمتها ويطالب الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة بتوفير الإمكانات اللازمة لتنفيذ مهمة المقررة الخاصة.

LEADER OF IRANIAN RESISTANCE ISSUES LIST OF DEMANDS TO DONALD TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION

The leader of the Iranian resistance has sent a strong message to the new US administration: Cease relations with Iran until the country stops torture and executions.

Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the People's Mujahedin of Iran, spoke at a gathering in the Albanian capital Tirana to mark the Persian New Year, and took the opportunity to issue some demands to US President Donald Trump's administration.

"First, make your commercial and diplomatic relations contingent on end to executions and torture in Iran," Rajavi began.

THE CORRECT FIRST STEP ON CONTAINING IRAN

The new threat made by Iran to ignore a key aspect of the nuclear deal aimed at curbing its nuclear program is a necessary reminder of a very important issue. Despite all the probable results that may ensue from Iran’s upcoming presidential elections, the mullahs’ regime in Tehran will not lose its dangerous characteristics.

This can also be perceived as a silver bullet against the impression, put forward by the Obama administration, that the highly flawed 2015 accord will actually transform the regime into a “moderate” entity.

In the meantime, Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen are now resorting to the use of Iran-designed drone boats packed with explosives. Such practices pose serious threats to commercial and military shipping lines in the strategic Bab el-Mandeb strait. However, Iran understands the consequences of becoming even more involved in Yemen’s continuing conflict.

The Iranian Resistance Welcomes the Extension of the Mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran

On Friday March 24, 2017, the UN Human Rights Council adopted a resolution extending the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran for one more year. The resolution was adopted while the religious fascism ruling Iran and some of the major violators of human rights in every possible way tried to prevent the adoption of this resolution.

The Iranian Resistance welcomes the extension of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur and calls on the Human Rights Council and the Special Rapporteur to refer the dossier of atrocities of the clerical regime, especially the execution of 120,000 political prisoners
