Iran, July 4, 2019 - Iran’s recent measures of violating the 2015 nuclear deal by increasing its uranium enrichment stockpile over the 300-kilogram limit and promising to elevate the enrichment level above 3.67 percent is facing stiff international condemnations and warnings. This includes strong remarks from the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the United States and European countries, and even Russia and China.

This turn of events is causing major concerns for senior Iranian regime officials in Tehran that are making remarks about the roots of the mullahs’ nuclear dilemmas.

“If you remember, around 20 years, when the [PMOI/MEK] revealed that story regarding our nuclear dossier, leading to [IAEA Director General Mohamed] El-Baradei coming to Iran. The Americans then started making a lot of noise… They launched their psychological tactics against Iran on the international stage and began placing pressures. To this day, it has been nearly 20 years that we are involved in this issue. Why? Iran says we do not seek nuclear weapons. When [Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei] issues a fatwa saying it is forbidden, they would not understand. All in all, things cannot be changed,” said Iranian regime Majlis (parliament) speaker Ali Larijani.

“It is very unfortunate that recently [U.S. President Donald] Trump has sanctioned [Khamenei]. All right, sanction all you want; what does he have for you to sanction. It shows how much they fail to understand that Iran’s leader is a religious leader with millions of followers. With your measures, you are installing hatred in all their hearts. This further goes to show how they fail to understand Iran’s culture,” Larijani added.

Despite all the brouhaha made by the regime’s apologists and lobbyists abroad about sanctions targeting Khamenei being futile, these remarks by Larijani further prove how deeply concerned Tehran truly is of the sanctions against Khamenei who owns hundreds of billions of dollars, according to US officials.

Iran, July 1, 2019 - The regime in Iran has officially reneged on the 2015 nuclear deal by exceeding the 300-kilogram stockpile limit of low enriched uranium (3.67%), according to the Fars news agency citing an "informed source." The Fars news agency is affiliated directly to the terrorist-designated Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).

As part of the nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Tehran promised it would refrain from storing more than 300kg of uranium enriched to the low level of 3.67 percent fissile material, The Telegraph reported.

Enriching uranium to a low level of 3.67% fissile material is the first step in a process that could eventually allow the Iranian regime to amass enough highly-enriched uranium (above 90 percent) to build a nuclear warhead.

"Iran has vowed to begin enriching its stockpile of uranium to higher levels closer to weapons-grade later this month,” according to the Associated Press.

Iran has indicated the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), known as the United Nations nuclear watchdog, has weighed the amount of low enriched uranium.

A Wall Street Journal reporter based in Brussels said a Western diplomat confirmed to him that they have been informed by the IAEA on Tehran exceeding its low enriched uranium (3.67%) stockpile above the 300 kg limit set by the 2015 nuclear agreement (JCPOA). Numerous reporters have cited the IAEA confirming Tehran has breached its agreement.

The European Union is now under increasing pressure on how to justify its maintenance of the deal and not imposing sanctions on the mullahs’ regime for this flagrant violation. This is especially true considering the fact that Iran has announced plans to further breach the JCPOA by July 8.

However, the EU may actually conclude that Tehran has left no option other than reimposing sanctions.

Sanctioning the main culprit in Iran

Iran, July 1, 2019 - Sanctioning Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and his apparatus, following hard-hitting sanctions on Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), and targeting Iran’s petrochemical industry as a key financial artery for exporting and aiding terrorism, is an important step toward economically crippling the entire clerical establishment in Iran.

This victory, obviously, did not come accidentally and overnight. It was the result of four decades of efforts and pain and blood paid by a Resistance movement that was constantly focused on the main enemy of the nation, the mullahs’ regime, in order to topple it.

The Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has time and again insisted on the need to designate IRGC and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO), in the United States and as terrorist entities by the European Union.

Tehran’s key financial arteries financing the Supreme Leader, his office and apparatus, and its Gestapo-type terrorist forces, being the IRGC and Quds Force, must be blocked.

Sanctioning the supreme leader and his office is tantamount to blocking the path to plundering the wealth and livelihood of a nation already forced under the poverty line.

Khamenei recently said, “Corruption is like a seven-headed dragon in fictitious stories.” However, it is worth noting that the main head of this dragon is in Khamenei’s apparatus.

Sanctioning Khamenei means blocking any assets in the US belonging to Khamenei or his office, anyone appointed by him or his office, or anyone who’s assisted or acted on behalf of the properties. They also bar any bank that facilitates a significant transaction with those parties from the U.S. financial system.

Iran, June 30, 2019 - Following new U.S. sanctions targeting Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, his office, and the entire apparatus under his control through an executive order issued by U.S. President Donald Trump, a senior official in Iran is complaining about the growing influence of the Iranian opposition group People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).

“[U.S. National Security Advisor John] Bolton has become the PMOI/MEK representative in the U.S. Alongside the U.S. President, they are receiving wrong advise and intelligence from the PMOI/MEK. This has resulted in their wrong decision-making,” said Ali Larijani, speaker of the mullahs’ Majlis (parliament).

In his remarks to the state-run ISNA news agency on Thursday, Larijani complained about the revelations made by the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) from back in 2002.

The NCRI blew the whistle on Tehran’s secret nuclear enrichment project in Natanz and the heavy water reactor in Arak, triggering a visit to Iran by the Director of the International Atomic Emergency Agency (IAEA), the UN nuclear watchdog.

“From the very beginning, the PMOI/MEK brought up Iran’s nuclear dossier and [the IAEA Director] followed up on the matter. Then three European ministers traveled to Iran. They said we will resolve the issue and Iran can continue its enrichment after some time. However, history has shown they were not able to deliver on their promises,” Larijani said.

“Various European countries are allies with the U.S. They planned INSTEX [a mechanism to supposedly bypass U.S. sanctions targeting the mullahs’ regime]. However, it is only in name and not practical,” he added.

Report by PMOI/MEK

Iran, June 27, 2019 - Following the U.S. sanctions against Ali Khamenei, the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader, and a number of Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) commanders, the open-door session of Iran’s Majlis (parliament) turned to a scene of grievance for its members.

Members of Majlis, while condemning the U.S. new sanctions against legal and official figures of this regime, described the new actions a sign of its desperation. These sanctions are against international law, the mullahs’ state-run TV aired a program on Tuesday making such claims.

“Through the scenarios of Fujairah, Sea of Oman and the U.S. drone they want to minimize their failures by constantly raising these and such issues,” said Jamal Nobandegani.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has reached relative economic stability and crossing the sanctions has become possible for us. This is something that the Americans have recognized too and therefore waging a psychological war against us,” said Jamali Nobandegani, another member of the Majlis. 

“Apparently, the U.S. will not stop its stupid actions. In addition to the Supreme Leader and military commanders, Iranian regime Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is also sanctioned. This means that the U.S lies that it seeks negotiations, the use of diplomacy and defusing tensions. I call upon our Foreign Ministry to send diplomatic responses to the countries cooperating with the U.S. such as the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom,” said Mostafa Kavakabian.

“Last night, I tweeted to Mr. Zarif that it is time for John Kerry to show up and delist you!” said Mashhad Majlis member Karimi Ghodosi.

Iran: Group hanging of 5 prisoners

Iran: Group hanging of 5 prisoners

Iran has the world’s highest number of executions per capita

Reported by PMOI/MEK

Iran, June 27, 2019 - Authorities of Iran’s regime hanged five prisoners at dawn on Wednesday in Gohardasht Prison, northwest of the capital Tehran.

The prisoners were transferred to solitary confinement on Monday and Tuesday to be mass executed on Wednesday. The names of four of those hanged have been published as Majid Hassanzadeh, Hanif Motahari-Nejad, Gorban-Mohammad Suleimani, and a woman identified as Hoda Burbur.

Gorban-Mohammad Suleimani was 50 years old and had spent 10 years in prison.

Iran has the world’s highest number of executions per capita. UN human rights bodies have condemned the Iranian regime on 65 occasions for its gross human rights violations.

The reason for those condemnations is the violation of basic human rights (especially of minorities), executions, brutal punishments such as amputation and flogging, and degrading behavior with prisoners.

These brutal methods started from the days of the regime's coming to power.

Khomeini, 24 August 1979 stressed, "We suppress [the MEK]."

The regime has invented more than 70 methods of torture, including severing hands and feet, gouging eyes, pressing prisoners’ heads with vise, and rape (especially against women).

Ayatollah Montazeri, Khomeini's heir apparent said on October 9, 1986: “Do you know many were killed under torture by interrogators? Do you know many prisoners were blinded, deafened, paralyzed or suffer chronic pains due to severe torture?”

The regime created cage-like cells, where prisoners were kept for as long as 7 months.

The regime executed 120,000 political prisoners, including even 13-year-old teenagers

Ayatollah Montazeri: “Execution of 13- or 14-year-old girls is horrifying.”

Mollahassani, Khomeini's representative in Urmia, said on December 23, 2000: “[Khomeini] said: If the prisoners are even one million, I will order to open fire on them and massacre them in one night."

Under Khomeini's orders, prison guard extracted prisoners' blood before executing them.

In 1988, Khomeini ordered, "Those who insist on their views in support of the MEK are enemies of God and are condemned to death."

Subsequently, the regime executed more than 30,000 prisoners were in less than two months.

The unbelievable scale of executions and brutal tortures in Kahrizak prison in 2009 and arrest of more than 7,000 individuals during the 2017-2018 uprisings (reported by Amnesty Intl) manifest the continuation of these crimes after 40 years.

These crimes will continue until the day of the regime is overthrown. Because it cannot survive without violating human rights.

40 years after Iran’s 1979 revolution, the ruling mullahs have taken the country back to the Middle Ages. 

Iran has large natural resources and the potential to improve the lives of all Iranians. In addition, Iran owns 7 percent of mines of the world, the largest hydrocarbon sources (Oil and Gas) in the world, 9.3 percent of the world’s oil and 18 percent of the world’s gas, and Iran itself has more natural sources than the entire EU area.

However, Iran is ruled by a dictatorship that spends all its wealth in terrorism and suppression. The fact is that Iran is ruled by a corrupt government that has looted Iranian people’s property to extend its rule.

Iran under mullahs ranked 93rd in the world in health care, in welfare, Iranian people are ranked 108 out of 149 countries and the Iranian regime is on the top of the list of countries suffering from state-run money laundering and this is one of the reasons that the Iranian regime is ranked 138 in the world in corruption and also among top countries with high inflation rates

Iranian workers’ monthly salary is less than $100 and Iran is the only country that uses all its renewable water resources and is being pushed toward an irreversible water crisis by the government.

Moreover, Iran has some of the most dangerous roads in the world and is among the top countries in road fatalities.

The mismanagement of Iran's economy has led to mass dissatisfaction and protests. The people of Iran believe they deserve better.

In the past year, Iranian people have taken to the streets to reclaim their country and destiny.
