The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei took office in 1989 and amassed enormous some of the greatest power and wealth in the world. As Supreme Leader, he takes the ultimate responsibility for all of the atrocities and violations of human rights that have been committed by the regime in his 21 years of leadership. He has had the final say in countless deaths and the economic destruction of Iran. It is important to question, how did one man obtain this level of power?
Last November demonstrations that rocked Iran were the biggest seen since the regime took control in 1979.
Iran’s diplomatic missions are bases for terrorism. Until 2018, when Vienna based Iranian diplomat, Assadollah Assadi was arrested on suspicion of organizing a bomb attack on an Iranian opposition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s (NCRI), and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), rally, no-one had been caught, even though many government authorities were aware that Iran was using its Embassies as a cover for its own nefarious activities.
Last November, Iran had its biggest uprising since the 1979 revolution, with protests in over 190 cities that lasted for several days despite the mullahs’ horrific crackdown, and the regime was shaken to its core.
The woman who is remembered for being the spokesperson for the hostage-takers when the U.S. Embassy was stormed back in 1979, Masoumeh Ebtekar, nicknamed “Sister Mary,” has defended fatal attacks made on protesters during the November 2019 protests.
It was estimated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that Iran, by the end of the year, would only have gross official reserves of around $8.8 billion.
State-run media sites in Iran have been busy recently commenting on the series of crises engulfing the current regime.
The US elections have had a great impact on Iranian political sovereignty, dating back to the 1953 Iranian coup d’etat; during which the US bribed Iranian government officials, reporters, and businessmen in support of the Shah’s power.
