  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...

Major Fire Outbreak at Mahshahr Petrochemical Complex in Southwestern Iran

-

 Written by Hamideh Taati

Following an explosion and fire in the Kavoshgaran Petroleum Refining Company facilities, one of the sites of the Mahshahr Petrochemical Complex in southwestern Iran, two members of the unit were severely injured.

While confirming the incident, the official state news agency IRNA announced that the fire was extinguished and under control. It reported that two workers of this petrochemical unit were suffering from severe burns and transferred to Hajieh Narges Hospital in Mahshahr. According to IRNA, firefighters eventually managed to contain the blaze.



“The cause of the accident is being investigated by HSE experts of the Special Economic Zone Organization,” a spokesman for the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone said in an interview with IRNA.

The fire breakout and explosion in petrochemical companies and units in Iran, especially in Mahshahr economic zone is not an unprecedented case. Tondgouyan Petrochemical in Mahshahr, Ilam Petrochemical, Khark Island Petrochemical Complex, and Kangan Petroleum Refinery had already experienced similar events. In August 2021, the chemical waste warehouse of Hamour Company, located in the Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Zone, had also caught fire.

The most widespread and damaging fire incident at an oil facility occurred in June last year at the Tehran oil refinery, killing one person and injuring another. While some of these cases are suspected to be intentional, another major cause of these incidents is the poor status and the worn-out equipment.

ISNA state news agency quoted Mohsen Adibi, spokesman for the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone, as saying that the cause of the accident was being investigated by experts from the Special Economic Zone Organization.

This happened only three days after the IRNA news agency announced the arrest of “the perpetrators of the fire in the cars parked in the parking lot of the guest house of Rah-e Avaran Fanun Petrochemical Company in Mahshahr.”

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...
