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...

Khamenei supports his president Ebrahim Raisi against Iran’s people
The preposterous lies of Iranian regime PresidentEbrahim Raisiin his Monday press conference about his “achievements” were such an embarrassment for the mullahs’ apparatus, that in the following 24 hours even the regime’s own officials and state-run media were responding with criticism.
Iranian regime Supreme LeaderAli Khameneiheld a session the next day meeting with Raisi and his cabinet, and placed his full support behind Raisi, expressing his gratitude for the “government’s accomplishments” and going on to say: “The most important accomplishment of this government is returning hope and trust to the people!”
Khamenei’s remarks are in complete contrast to the realities of everyday life in Iran. Iranian people have beenprotestingduring Raisi’s first year in office and are chanting “Death to Raisi!” in their daily gatherings.
Khamenei claimed Iran is witnessing inflation coming under control, “economic growth, increasing investment, higher employment, a rise in gross domestic product, and a decrease in the gap between the society’s different classes,” as Raisi’s government has actually addressed these issues. This was a repeat of Raisi’s claims the day before, rendering criticism in just a few hours with the media responding by painting a completely different picture.
“Raisi is living in one Iran, and the people are living in another Iran!” and “In Raisi’s Iran, the country is in its best status when it comes to management. In the people’s Iran, however, there is no need to explain,” reads one piece in the state-run Sharq daily on Tuesday.
The “people’s Iran” is one that is suffering from hyperinflation, unemployment, unpaid wages, skyrocketing prices of basic goods, a constantly depreciating currency, uncontrolled environmental disasters, and water and electricity shortages, all of which have become worse during Raisi’s one-year tenure and have become the spark of demonstrations that quickly turn into anti-regime protests.
Raisi’s failures in the first year of his tenure that even the regime’s own media distanced themselves form the mullahs’ president. Raisi “is alone and is heading nowhere” with the people and even his own political allies are “standing against him,” reads one article of the state-run Asia daily on Tuesday. “There are no domestic sources and the government’s revenue [at best] provides for the basic daily matters,” the piece adds.
Various regime insiders have been quite critical of his undeniable failures. “Raisi repeated his cliché positions during hispress conference” and “even refused to mention a quick return to the 2015 nuclear deal,” said Ahmad Zeidabadi, a so-called reformist who writes in state-run papers.
Not only have Raisi’s slogans ended in failure, but the people are facing an unprecedented crisis situation, said Sina Ghanbari, a former member of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) on Tuesday. In contrast to Raisi’s claim of containing inflation, the prices of housing, automobiles, and food staples have tripled, and the people are eating less and less, he added.
Khamenei, faced with such an embarrassing outlash against Raisi, had no choice but to come into public for the first time in 40 days and provide life support for his regime’s president. However, this will come at a cost for the mullahs’ dictator.
In contrast to his practice of distancing himself from his regime’s government and officials in their failures, and placing the blame on incompetent directors and managers, with his support of Raisi, Khamenei is actually making it crystal clear that he himself is the very source of Iran’s crises and miseries.

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...
