The Ghor Provincial Council announced on Monday, July 24, 2017, that the Iranian regime is financially and militarily backing the Taliban in western Afghanistan to destroy the Salma Dam of Herat.
Ghor Provincial Council chairman Fazlul Haq Ehsan says the Iranian regime wants to eliminate the Salma Dam in Herat by supporting the Taliban.
In continuation of the internal conflict between Iranian regime’s various bands over choosing Hassan Rouhani’s upcoming Cabinet members, and the Revolutionary Guards pressure to have several ministers into the cabinet, the head of the Parliament’s Planning and Budget Commission revealed that the 11th government (Rouhani’s previous cabinet) was entirely on the path of the IRGC and Khamenei and has had the most financial support for the IRGC.
During the summer of 1988, a 17 year old woman from the Iranian city of Qom was sentenced to 70 lashes which she received the night before her execution. Her name was Zohreh Heydari and she is a symbol of the courage of the members of the Iranian Resistance.
During the summer of 1988, the Supreme Leader of Iran ordered the execution of all members of the opposition. In this short period of time, more than 30,000 political prisoners were executed. This is an alarming crime against humanity that was perpetrated by Khomeini who wanted to annihilate his opponents in a quest for regime survival.
Earlier this week, the United States applied more sanctions on Iran. These economic sanctions are related to the country’s ballistic missile program and its belligerence across the Middle East, actions which the Trump administration says undercut anything positive from the nuclear deal.
These latest actions are a demonstration from the Trump administration that the United States will keep pressuring Iran for as long as necessary while keeping the 2015 nuclear deal intact.
Iran has begun building a permanent base on Syrian soil, according to Syrian opposition TV “Orient” on July 16th.
Iran has also leased a military airbase in central Syria from the Assad regime, according to informed sources.
State-affiliated Tarikh Online website interviewed Iran’s former Minister of Intelligence, Ali Fallahian, during which he acknowledged that Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa in the summer of 1988 calling for the annihilation of those people affiliated with People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI or MEK), the main opposition group of the Iranian regime.
The interview was aired on July 9th, 2017 by the state-affiliated Aparat online video platform. It was more than two hours long. A partial translation of Fallahian’s comments regarding the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran folows.
Iran has been involved in the Syria civil war since it started. Its militias have backed and propped up Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad to no end and at the minute their combined forces are subduing towns and cities from Eastern Aleppo to southern ar-Raqqah. Russian battleships in the Mediterranean, as well as jets, are working to subjugate them with shells.
The brave Syrian opposition is battling away through tough circumstances even after it was assailed by Iran and its foreign militias. The opposition has been unable to receive much needed aid and supplies because the Jordanian and Turkish passages have remained closed.
The recent movie, “Adventure of Nimrooz (Midday Adventure)”, made in collaboration with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was an attempt to humiliate the People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) – the main Iranian opposition.
State-run news outlets have said that it was the Supreme Leader who pursued the production of the film and praised those who worked on what he described as a “well-made” movie.
Now that the Iran nuclear deal has been in place for two years, it is safe to say we are in a position to comment on whether Obama’s vision of how it would change the situation has become a reality or not.
Former President Obama wanted the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to kick off rapprochement with Iran and the Western world. He was adamant that the so-called “moderate” President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, would bring change to the leadership of the country.
On the front lines of Syria’s six-year war are thousands of Afghan Shi’a sent by Iran to fight against armed rebels. Some of them are poorly trained, made up of mainly Afghan migrants and refugees known as the Fatemiyoun Division. Observers say that they have suffered a high rate of attrition, and coffins of fallen soldiers are paraded and buried in Iranian cities almost every week.
