The truth about the Iranian regime’s new president

Image
  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 Morality Police in New Crackdown on Women

Image
  By Struan Stevenson Having learned no lessons from the nationwide uprising that exploded last September following the brutal killing in custody of the young Kurdish girl Mahsa Amini, the Iranian regime’s misogynist morality police are on the move again. Last week, the Tehran Criminal Court sentenced a woman to two months in prison for hijab violations. The judge, Ali Omidi, accused her of “anti-Iranian behavior.” In a more sinister outburst, he also ordered that she should be subjected to compulsory health checks, as her failure to wear the hijab was a clear display of “disease” symptoms that “must be treated.” Such claims are frighteningly reminiscent of judgements in the former Soviet Union, where people who were considered anti-communist were deemed to be insane and were sent for electric shock treatment in psychiatric hospitals.The morality police tracked her down using images from a ‘smart’ CCTV camera. Similar cameras have been installed in public places in towns and cities...

Invasion and explosion in the police headquarters of Mahabad city in response to the murder of a citizen

Image
  In their latest crime, the guards of the border regiment of the repressive force in Baneh killed a fellow Kurd named Mohammad Latif Ahmedpour in the most heinous way by driving a car toward him and hitting him. He died after 4 days in the hospital. The governor of the regime in Baneh called Ahmadpour’s family and threatened that his body should be buried at midnight without public notice. The repressive police command in Mahabad is responsible for suppressing the Peshmerga fighters and the uprisings and protests of the people and youth of this city.

independent: House forms new bipartisan caucus to support Iranian women’s protests

Image
  Capitol Hill is coalescing around a new bipartisan consensus towards Iran, as protests against the government in Tehran continue and a resumption of the 2015 nuclear accord seems further away than ever before. On Thursday, lawmakers from both parties led by Congresswomen Sheila Jackson Lee and Nancy Mace, a Democrat, and Republican, respectively, formed the Congressional Iranian Women Caucus, a group focused on the advancement of human rights in the conservative Muslim country at a time when women across Iran are fighting for greater freedoms from their government. The caucus leaders led the announcement of its formation on Thursday with a new bipartisan resolution, already cosponsored by more than a dozen Republicans and Democrats, that condemns a recent gas attack against schoolgirls in Iran. The resolution also calls on the State Department and United Nations to investigate the matter. “So many Iranian women are showing their bravery and resiliency in the face of challenges in...

In this debate, several key issues were raised, including the designation of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a terrorist entity, the regime’s human rights abuses, and the need to support Iran’s democratic alternative to the ruling theocracy.   In his remarks, Lord Alton called out Tehran’s destabilizing activities, including its pursuit of a nuclear weapons program and the IRGC’s role in the war in Ukraine. Referring to the regime’s constant breaching of its commitments under the terms of 2015 nuclear deal-formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)- Lord Alton said: “In any event, why should we believe anything this regime says ...
