On Thursday, February 17, members of the European Parliament had a formal session, adopting a resolution criticizing the mullahs’ regime’s increasing number of executions in Iran. The MEPs also condemned the mullahs’ dictatorship for the massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners in 1988, calling for an international, independent investigation and the prosecution of Iranian regime officials, particularly current President Ebrahim Raisi.
The Iranian leadership has been actively creating a foothold in Yemen since 1991, drawing on knowledge gained through years of meddling in Lebanon and launching the Hezbollah terrorist group. Tehran’s Yemen campaign began with a focus on building a strong relationship with the Al-Houthi family., the head of Yemeni rebels based in Sa’deh, has risen to the position of the spiritual leader of the group. In the early 1990s, Tehran essentially recruited him, and so, the regime began pushing its fundamentalist agenda in Yemen.
Iran is currently experiencing its biggest economic crisis since the fundamentalists took power. Parts of the country’s chronic economic issues are acknowledged by state media. People are struggling to make ends meet, and heart-breaking reports from Iran indicate that the sale of body parts and essential organs are on the rise.
The question is whether reviving the fatally flawed 2015 Iran nuclear deal [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPOA)] with world powers would benefit the Iranian people while talks in Vienna continue.
In a statement, the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) quoted the People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) as saying that 510,200 people had died as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak in Iran as of February 21.
The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) announced on Monday, February 21, 2022, that the COVID-19 fatalities in 547 cities across Iran are more than 510,200. The number of victims in Tehran has passed 119,405, Khorasan Razavi 40,965, Isfahan 35,460, Khuzestan 30,765, Fars 19,540, West Azerbaijan 19,198, East Azerbaijan 17,638, Alborz 14,823, Kerman 13,842, Golestan 11,045, Kermanshah 9,559, Hormozgan 8,505, Ardabil 6,525, Ilam 4,863, and South Khorasan 4,551.
The Iranian regime finished its 25-year Cooperation Program with China last month, after much fanfare about its “Look to the East” program. Officials from the regime talked about this scheme as a “win-win” deal, but once the dust settled, it became clear that this shameful and unpatriotic pact was all for naught.
The Iran-China agreement would “vastly extend Chinese influence in banking, telecommunications, ports, railways, and dozens of other projects,” according to the New York Times in July 2020. In exchange, China would receive a regular — and significantly discounted — supply of Iranian oil for the next 25 years, according to an Iranian official and an oil dealer.”
Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), warned in 2003 that Iran’s regime’s terrorist threats are a hundred times more deadly than its nuclear program. This was a major warning, especially since it came from the leader of the campaign that exposed Tehran’s nuclear weapons program for the first time.
Over 509,000 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 547 cities checkered across all of Iran’s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) as of Saturday afternoon local time, February 19. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 135,040, around a fourth of the actual figure.
According to figures tabulated by the Iranian opposition, People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), as of Wednesday afternoon, local time, over 507,400 people have died of the new coronavirus in 547 cities spread throughout all 31 provinces of Iran. The regime’s official death toll is 134,238, which is around a fourth of the true amount.
The 66th session of Hamid Noury’s trial took place on Friday. Noury, an Iranian prison officer, was detained in Sweden in 2019 for his role in the 1988 massacre of over 30,000 political detainees, mostly members and supporters of the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran). Noury worked as a deputy prosecutor at Gohardasht prison in Karaj during the genocide, where the “Death Commission” sentenced hundreds of political prisoners to death.
Each of the parties now negotiating in Vienna has stated that attempts to re-establish the 2015 Iran nuclear deal are nearing completion. However, it’s unclear what this implies, given that the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany had been claiming for weeks that the window for an agreement was closing and that Iran would face further pressure if it didn’t change its stance. Although there is little evidence that it has done so, Western interlocutors appear to be lowering their expectations.
The US State Department had originally set an unofficial target for the Vienna discussions to expire in late January, but that deadline has now been moved back to the end of February. Even though it appears to be widely understood that the regime is only weeks away from progressing its nuclear program to the point where the original terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will no longer be sufficient to extend its “breakout time” to more than a year, there’s no guarantee that the US or its allies will stick to this new timetable.
