President Trump’s Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis, has declared that Iran is at the centre of the issues in the Middle East. It is one of the major challenges of the new US administration but it is first imperative to fully understand the true nature of the clerical regime ruling the country.
Tehran has exported terrorism and disregards the most basic of human rights at home. It is extremely violent towards opposition whether it is at home or abroad.
A professor of political science at the University of Tehran, Sadeq Zibakalam, confirmed that the Iranian regime was responsible for the execution of thousands of members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) during the decade after the 1979 revolution.
Zibakalam is a close confidant of the former head of Iran’s Expediency Council, Ali Akbar Hashem Rafsanjani.
The Iranian Regime and its core terror squad, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), have at least 14 terrorist training camps across Iran, with eight in the capital, Tehran.
This shocking news was revealed exclusively in a report by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, an umbrella group for all democratic forces that want regime change in Iran.
Of the news reports that gained attention in 2016, many turned out to be marred with false information. This is a major threat to the dissemination of true information to U.S. citizens.
Much of it “lies in the existence of suspicious figures sent by foreign countries for the purposes of espionage and influence over U.S. foreign policy,” says Col. Wes Martin (US), former Anti-terrorism/Force Protection Officer of all Coalition forces in Iraq. He writes in his February 12 article for The Hill that “Iran is a prime example.”
“As an Iranian American I am grateful that the Obama administration helped relocate 3,000 of my friends and colleagues, members of the principal Iranian opposition movement, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), out of Camp Liberty, Iraq. But I am very critical of its utter weakness in dealing with the Islamic Republic,” says Amir H. Heidarian, president of the Iranian American Community of Wisconsin.
When the leaders of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) learned that Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was preparing to lead a delegation of business representatives to Iran on February 11-12, a full-page message in the prominent Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, cautioning the group about Iran’s extensive human rights abuses was released.
The Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence, recently released a report regarding the power and progress of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK). In it, regime officials admitted the young people of Iran’s attraction toward Mojahedin (MEK) as well as the high status of Mojahedin at home and at the international level.
During the early days of the new US administration, it was made clear that Iran wanted to test the new president. It test-fired a ballistic missile that could carry a nuclear warhead. The Trump administration responded very clearly – it was not going to put up with such actions. The Treasury announced sanctions last week that showed its resolve to confront Iran’s ballistic missile program.The Foreign Minister of Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif, did not say whether Iran was responsible or not for the test-firing, but he later posted on Twitter that his country will “never initiate war, but we can only rely on our own means of defense”.
The Guards are the main force behind Iran’s nuclear program, lethal meddling across the Middle East, ballistic missile drive and domestic crackdown.
The Clarion Project, February 9, 2017, Iran has been dubbed a “de facto Islamic Caliphate” due to increasing domestic crackdown and lethal meddling across the region, especially through the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
The US Treasury Department announced sanctions on a host of Iranian companies and individuals on Friday. It sends a signal to Tehran to rein in its ballistic missile testing.
The people and entities involved in procuring technology and/or materials to support Iran’s ballistic missile program, as well as acting for, or on behalf of, or providing support to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-Quds Force are the targets of the sanctions.
