  By Sadegh Pashm-Foroush The day after the announcement of the results of Iran’s sham presidential election, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei summoned the remaining members of the government of former regime president Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19. In his remarks to them—indirectly addressing new regime president Massoud Pezeshkian—he warned him and reminded him of the “model” of the president in the regime. The supreme leader repeatedly mentioned Raisi and said, “He is truly a model; we must all learn from him.” He then reiterated the concept of “heartfelt belief and practical commitment” to the regime, which Pezeshkian, like all the election candidates, had committed to. Khamenei stated, “Dear Raisi demonstrated as a model that one can possess these mental, heartfelt, and practical qualities as the president of a country and follow them in practice.” Of course, before the sham election, Pezeshkian repeatedly stated that he would continue Raisi...

True to Form, Raisi Threatens Foreign Leaders With Terrorism

-

 Written by Aladdin Touran

Iranian regime’s president Ebrahim Raisi threatened the United States with retaliation for killing Qassem Soleimani, the notorious commander of the Revolutionary Guards’ terrorist Quds Force.



On the second anniversary of Soleimani’s killing, the Iranian regime and its allied groups in Iraq held a memorial service for the slain IRGC commander and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes, a former leader of Tehran’s allied Iraqi militias. The two were killed along with several others in a January 3, 2020, drone strike ordered by former US president, Donald Trump in Iraq.

According to the IRGC-run Fars news agency, in a speech in Tehran’s Mosalla on Monday, Ebrahim Raisi called for the prosecution of former US administration officials – including then-President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “If a competent court holds a trial fine, if not, the verdict of Qesas (retribution in kind) must be applied” and “God’s judgment should be carried out against them”.

Without further elaboration, Raisi threatened the US government that if such a trial was not held, “revenge will come out of the people’s sleeves.”

Raisi’s presidency has prompted many human rights organizations and advocates have call on the international community to launch an investigation into his role in the 1988 massacre of tens of thousands of political prisoners in Iran.

“Have no doubt that Ibrahim Raisi is personally responsible for the massacre of thousands of political prisoners in 1988,” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a speech in September. “The names of about 5,000 of these victims have been published, and the bodies of these brave men and women, have been buried in unmarked graves.”

Days after the elimination of Soleimani, the United States told the United Nations that the operation against Soleimani was in self-defense and pledged to take further action “if necessary” in the Middle East to protect US personnel and interests.

Iran’s Regime Naval Terrorism Warrants More Sanctions

  The   latest revelations   by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) about the Iranian regime’s dangerous attempts to disrupt international maritime activity should serve as a wake-up call for Western governments. Tehran has significantly expanded its maritime terrorism using foreign mercenaries from the Middle East and Africa, especially in Yemen. This shouldn’t come as a complete surprise. The economy is tanking, and the regime is facing a multitude of irremediable social, political, and economic crises at home and is unable to stem the tide of expanding and continuing protests virtually by every sector of the Iranian society. Since December 2017, there have been eight major nationwide uprisings, the common theme of which has been the popular demand to overthrow the regime. Furthermore, the elimination of the Quds Force commander  Qassem Soleimani  in January 2020 damaged the regime’s influence in regional hotspots like Syria and Iraq. Regrettably...

Iran: “Guards Beat MEK Supporters 3 Times a Day Before Giving Food,” Ex-political Prisoner Testifies at Hamid Noury’s Trial

  Written by  Sedighe Shahrokhi Every day, when the guards opened the solitary cells, they started beating the MEK’s prisoners,” Rahman Darkeshideh testified on Thursday, January 27, during  the trial of Hamid Noury , deputy prosecutor in the notorious Gohardasht Prison (west of Tehran), where thousands of political prisoners were massacred in 1988. Noury, an Iranian prison official, was apprehended in 2019 in Sweden. His trial began in 2020, and dozens of survivors of the 1988 genocide shared harrowing accounts of those dreadful days, mainly in Gohardahst prison, where Noury worked. Based on  a fatwa by the regime’s  founder Ruhollah Khomeini, the so-called “Death Commissions” sent thousands of prisoners to gallows after the victims refused to disavow their allegiance to Iran’s leading opposition group, Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK). The Iranian regime’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, was a member of Tehran’s “Death Commission.” Darkeshideh, Noury’s neighbor and a Ma...
