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...

Unmasking the so-called reformists in Iran’s regime

Image
  By Shamsi Saadati What happened in the first and second rounds of Iranian regime’s sham presidential election in July 2024 was a nationwide referendum that called for the overthrow of the regime. Once again, it was clear that the main divide in Iran is not between the various factions of this regime, but between the people and the tyrants ruling the country. The slogan “My vote is regime change” was the main message of the people. The remnants of the so-called reformist movement tried to distort this main divide and reduce it to a power struggle between different regime factions. But the display of election boycott and overthrow was so strong that it forced regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei to accept the presidency of Massoud Pezeshkian, a so-called reformist who has expressed his full allegiance to the criminal supreme leader. This brings no benefit to the Supreme Leader, nor does it count as a revival of the so-called reforms. Correcting a misnomer The use of the term “reform”...

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...

Iran: Hallmarks of an Alternative – Part 1

Image
  Written by Alejo Vidal Quadras The following is the first part of a piece written by Dr. Alejo Vidal Qudras in the book “Iran Democratic Revolution,”  published  by the International Committee in Search of Justice (ISJ):  The unity of opposition forces seeking to overthrow the regime and forming an alternative is one of the essential pillars of resistance against a dictatorship, especially the religious fascism ruling Iran. The existence of an alternative is imperative for advancing the struggle to overthrow the regime and securing victory for people who are willing to pay the price for the struggle. Conversely, the absence of an alternative can cause a revolution to fail or be diverted from its optimal path. The alliance of the forces participating in the revolution can already be seen on the streets of Iran. This writing intends to assess the characteristics of an alternative around which an alliance or coalition of movements willing to overthrow the ruling regim...

Iran’s 1401 Year: A Hopeful Beginning, a Turbulent Journey, and a Promising Future

Image
  Written by Hossein Daei Alilslam The Persian Year 1401 has just ended. A year full of ups and downs, sorrow and happiness, fear and bravery for the Iranian people in their quest to establish a secular, non-nuclear, and democratic republic. As the year began, the regime’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei lauded the installation of Ebrahim Raisi as the new president, extolling it as a “sweet development.” Yet, as the year progressed, even the state-controlled press reported on the  dwindling support  for Raisi amongst Khamenei’s faction due to the worsening economic and social crises. The country’s inflation now hovers above 50%, the highest in four years. The value of the national currency, the rial, rapidly plunges. When the year began, the value of a dollar was 250,000 rials, but presently, it has exceeded 450,000 rials. An egg now costs 30,000 rials, which represents a 100% rise compared to last year. Likewise, the cost of meat has skyrocketed to 5 million rials per kilo. ...
