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.”

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has reported that the death toll among the commanders of the regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the main apparatus of suppression and terrorism (IRGC), is rising rapidly. 

According to the Turkish Anatolia News Agency, as of 1st November 2016, 15 Iranian military seniors have died in the Syrian civil war. “These were the commanders and militias of the IRGC who have been fighting in Syria since 2013.”
