A firm policy vs. security guarantees towards Iran

Mullahs and NukesThe Iranian regime’s response to the latest report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), once again shows that not only can the mullahs not be trusted to keep any of their agreements or promises, but also that they will use any opportunity to advance their own inauspicious aims.  They do this while simultaneously and shamelessly talking about being prepared to negotiate and invite everyone to have “patience.”

On the same day that Javier Solana was in Tehran, the mullahs’ regime started injecting uranium hexafluoride into its 164 nuclear centrifuge cascade.

Furthermore, according to reports published by the IAEA, traces of highly enriched uranium have also been found by international inspectors at a nuclear site in Tehran.

Nevertheless, the regime’s representative in Vienna called with obscenity mixed with threats for an end to “political gestures” and added, “Let’s not have any repeated allegations. The other party should be careful not to intensify the situation.  We need to have talks in a peaceful and productive atmosphere.”

PARIS (AP) _ The Paris Appeals Court on Friday lifted restrictions placed on 17 members of an exiled Iranian opposition group, including one of its leaders, three years after they were arrested in a huge sweep on suspicion of having links to terrorism.

The court lifted a series of measures, including one that forbids the suspects from leaving French territory and another that forbids them from meeting with one another.

The 17 are members of the Mujahedeen Khalq, the largest exiled Iranian opposition group, and include co-leader Maryam Rajavi, the wife of Iraq-based Massoud Rajavi.

They were among nearly 170 people arrested in a massive sweep on June 17, 2003, in which police seized computers and more than US$1 million as part of an investigation into terrorism links.

Maryam Rajavi

Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran

Stop Fundamentalism, June 16, 2006 – The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) announced in a statement today that the Paris Appeals Court has dropped all restrictions against Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance based in France.

The orders were imposed on 16 active members of the Iranian Resistance including Mrs. Rajavi, following the raid of June 17, 2003 on the headquarters of the movement near Paris.

About 170 members and supporters of the NCRI were arrested after the clampdown which involved 1300 French police members on a dozen locations belonging to Iranian refugees.

The operation was unprecedented in the history of France for the past 35 years, due to the number of police officers involved, and received enormous media coverage at the time.  All those arrested were released shortly after but sixteen were still under restrictive orders after 3 years.

The rulings came despite the fact that the investigative magistrates were insisting on continuing the restrictions.

    The humiliation of Ali Akbar Rafsanjani, the head of the Expediency Council and former President of the mullahs’ regime, during a speech in the holy city of Qom on June 3 once again underscored the depth of internal crisis the ruling theocracy in Iran is facing.

    Chants of “down with Rafsanjani” by those attending his speech which was being aired live on state-run television sounded the bells for a dictatorship on its deathbed.

    <>Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

    Mullah Rafsanjani’s face at the event was quite a sight. With all the “capacity” of impudence and obscenity he holds for himself, he had lost control and it seemed as if he did not expect to be isolated by those who used to call him the “foundation of the regime” and the “man of war” before the fall of the mullahs’ regime.

    		Will Iran take the offer?

    Apparently, the State Department has come up with a suggestion to join its European allies in talks with Iran in order to rectify the “nuclear situation diplomatically.”

    The Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, in her statement suggested that US would join the talks provided Iran “stopped enriching uranium.”

    		Iran clashes leave six dead and many wounded

    Stop Fundamentalism, May 26 – In the fifth consecutive day of riots in the Azeri speaking provinces, yesterday thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Iran’s north-western cities staging anti-government demonstrations.

    In an attempt to stop the demonstrations from spreading, anti-riot units opened fire into the crowd, killing six demonstrators and wounding dozens of others.

    The riots started when a state-run daily “Iran” published a cartoon insulting Iran’s Azeri speaking people. According to some reports, about 27 percent of Iranians speak Azeri.

    Tehran University’s dormitory was also the scene of anti-government protests by the students on May 23.

    Women Demonstrations

    The striking was the use of the new women police force in this crackdown.

    Mullahs ruling Iran have once again put to display their detestable and misogynist face by cracking down on Monday’s gathering of women in Tehran.  The striking was the use of the new women police force in this crackdown.

    Some reports indicate that the police used red paint during the demonstration to mark all protestors.  This way they managed to arrest a bigger number of protestors comparing to other demonstrations.

    Security Forces in Tehran have attacked the houses of some of the demonstrator science and taken many of the protestors into their custody. 

    The brave women participating in the demonstration chanted “Put an end to misogyny.”  There were also chants of “freedom, freedom”, “we are human beings but have no rights”, and “we want equal rights.”

    Reports indicate that hundreds of men also took part in the protest supporting the women demonstrators.

    Mullah's nukesNowadays, if a government tries to acquire nuclear weapons, it maybe labeled as a warmonger.  You could say that such a government is trying to enter the world powers club and to gain the upper hand in the international balance of political power. 

    But what if such a regime is at the same time arresting women in the streets for malveiling?

    If nukes are good, then such a regime would have to accept the culture that comes with it and advance technologically in all fields. 

    It would be odd to witness factories closing down one by one in a country and thousands of professionals, doctors and engineers leaving the country due to economic reasons and at the same time see advancement in nuclear technology.

    Iran Azeris uprisingStop Fundamentalism – Two weeks after the uprisings in the four Azeri speaking provinces in northwestern Iran, a violent crackdown and torture of those arrested, especially the students, continue.

    A recent report indicated that an 80-year-old man by the name of Eivaz Sayyadi, who was wounded during one of the demonstrations by the security forces, died in hospital.  The killing of an 80-year-old man sets a new precedence unseen in many countries controlled by dictators.

    What is noteworthy is that the Intelligence Ministry has told the family of the victim not to announce the death of the old man and limit the burial ceremony to close family and friends only.

    Due to the extent of the crackdown and the complete censorship of the news about the uprising, the number of those killed or injured during the demonstrations is still unknown.

    Who is Rafsanjani?  He was the man who at the time of Iran-Iraq war, Khomeini – the founder of Islamic Republic – assigned to be the commander in chief of all Iranian military forces, while the current Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, was president. The post clearly put him at an advantage and made him the number one man in the Islamic Republic at the time.

    The day after the death of Khomeini, Rafsanjani approved Ali Khamenei – whose credentials in the ranks of clergy are still below many others after all these years – the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic over night.
