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...

Iran’s seventh covid wave could triple the death toll
There is a possibility that the seventh coronavirus wave in this country can lead to a tripling of the daily death toll, says a leading expert in Iran.
“The deaths can reach triple digits yet forecasting the exact timing is difficult. It is possible for the death to toll to triple, and we need to take into consideration the fact that currently, the number of deaths we are reporting are of those individuals who have been confirmed to have contracted Covid-19. If we add the number of probable people, our death toll could already be in the three figures,” says Hamid Soury, an epidemiologist in an interview with the semi-official ISNA news agency on August 3.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have active pathology measures to find those who have contracted the illness. The number of our tests is very low per capita. However, what we can say now is that the epidemic trend continues to increase, and we should be focusing on minimizing the height of the peak, beginning the decreasing process as soon as possible, and reducing the extent and amplitude of the peak. This means from the moment the peak begins and ends, the timetable of the extent should be very short. This is what has been accomplished in some countries and despite the fact that a new peak is possible, the height and extent of that peak are minimized,” Soury added.
“Covid has in the past months, especially from April onward, witnessed many ups and downs. We even had a small peak with a low height in April and early May. However, since we don’t have an active pathology process and we are mostly focused on the number of people hospitalized and the death toll, the changes in the epidemic are not very vivid. Thus, we cannot analyze how the virus is spreading across the country and that is why the peak was not specified,” he continued.
“Unfortunately, during the course of this 30-month pandemic, our country has usually been among the top 10 to 15 countries in the world when it comes to deaths and other issues resulting from the illness per capita. It shouldn’t be this way,” Soury finalized.
Over 530,000 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 547 cities checkered across all of Iran’s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) as of April 8.
One of the main reasons behind the extremely high number of coronavirus casualties in Iran is the regime’s deceptive measures to keep a lid on the true figures. Officials also refused to announce the start of the pandemic in Iran, leaving the people defenseless in the face of the virus. This led to the fast spread of the virus across the country and continuous waves to this day.

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...

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...
