Amir Basiri, a human rights activist, has said that the U.S. policy towards Iran should be reconsidered. He pointed out that once the nuclear deal was signed with Iran, President Obama spoke about his wishes to “have conversations with Iran that incentivize them to behave differently in the region, to be less aggressive, less hostile, more cooperative, to operate the way we expect nations in the international community to behave”. He also said that the U.S. will continue to help Iran cooperate in resolving issues in the Middle East.

Abdullah Moalemi published an article in the Qatari Newspaper of Al-Arab saying that Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) should be listened to and trusted for the facts she has exposed regarding the Iranian regime. He said: “The president of the National Council of the Iranian Resistance (NCRI), Maryam Rajavi, discloses facts about the Iranian regime. Maryam Rajavi says that Houthi militias fired Mecca with missiles with Khamenei’s order and under the supervision of Qods Force. She also stressed that firing Mecca was actually a declaration of war against all Muslims in the world and naturally, this incident was condemned by all the entities in the world except the Iranian regime.”

The National Council of Resistance of Iran have reported that the deputy commander of the terrorist Qods Force mentioned the Iranian regime’s participation in the Syrian Civil War and the slaughter of the people. He said that this year is a year of destiny for the Iranian regime. On Saturday 5th November 2016, the ISNA News Agency (affiliated with the regime) reported the deputy commander Esmail Qaani as saying: “In the current year, destiny only determines the result of this Civil War in Syria. This war requires commanders who can impose the will of the Iranian regime to the enemies.” This was said at a ceremony commemorating one of the commanders of IRGC in Syria, Hossein Hamedani, at the Military University of Imam Hossein.

It has been 37 years since the U.S. embassy takeover in Tehran. Barry Rosen, an advisory board member of United Against Nuclear Iran and Iran Hostage Crisis survivor Barry Rosen, said in a TIME magazine op-ed, that nothing has changed in almost four decades since he was imprisoned and tortured. 

The Iranian regime commemorates the U.S. embassy takeover every year by holding anti-American rallies. During demonstrations, the American flag was burned and the crowd shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”.

On November 3, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) published an article about Islamic Iran Participation Front member, Mostafa Tajzadeh.

Reportedly, Tajzadeh acknowledged the failure of the regime with it’s involvement in the war in Syria.  He said, ”Iran’s regime with the help of Assad’s army intended to fight with other Syrian people and it was the beginning of a disaster.”
