IRAN SHIITE MILITIAS ENDANGERING FUTURE OF IRAQ

IRAN SHIITE MILITIAS ENDANGERING FUTURE OF IRAQ

The Islamic Republic continues on its path of death and destruction.
A conglomerate of Iran-backed Shiite militias in Iraq, known as the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), or more commonly by the Arabic label al-Hashd al-Shaabi, pose a very dire threat for the future of Iraq. This sectarian group of dangerous armed elements is resorting to any and all crimes with the objective of pursuing Tehran’s policies across Mesopotamia.

The PMU, established back in the mid-2014, has taken part in the battles of Syria from mid-2013 onward and now, despite participating in the offensive to retake Mosul from Daesh (ISIS/ISIL), this phenomenon poses the gravest of all threats for the Iraqi nation. Mor...

AP:IRAN ACTIVIST ENDS 71-DAY PRISON HUNGER STRIKE AS WIFE FREED


By JON GAMBRELL
AP - An imprisoned Iranian human rights activist ended a 71-day hunger strike Tuesday as his detained wife won a temporary release from prison, a day after his case sparked a rare unauthorized protest in Tehran.
Arash Sadeghi was to be taken to a hospital, his lawyer Amir Raisian said, while Amnesty International said he would be fed intravenously. His wife, Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee, was temporarily freed for several days in a decision that can be extended, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported.
The sudden decision comes after a dayslong social media campaign and the march Monday toward Evin prison by dozens of Iranians. Such protests have been rare in Iran after violence that followed the country's disputed 2009 presidential election.Mor....

Iran MARYAM RAJAVI’S CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S GREETINGS

Christmas is the day when the world was blessed to see the birth of God's great prophet.
Merry Christmas to all Christians in Iran and around the world.

Christmas is the day of joy, hope and salvation of mankind.
We also admire the Virgin Mary on this day, who inspires all women, particularly the oppressed women of the world.

Iran Regime Claims Unity While Killing Innocent Women and Children in Aleppo

NCRI - The Iranian regime president, Hassan Rouhani, in his speech on Thursday December 15 in the so-called Islamic Unity Conference, claimed violence from any religion or ethnicity is against Islam.

In this regard, Turkey’s Anatolia news agency in a report on December 15 questioned Rouhani’s statement regarding Islam’s opposition to violence and said while Rouhani today talked about Islam opposing violence, the (sectarian) militants backed by Iranian regime killed several civilians, who were evacuating East Aleppo during the ceasefire, by firing direct shots.

Sectarian militants affiliated to the regime in Iran today once again under the command of Seid Javad, a commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), fired direct shots at the civilians, who were evacuating East Aleppo following the ceasefire, killing several civilians and injuring a large number of them. This is while Hassan Rouhani in his speech in «Islamic Unity Conference» today said: «Violence is against Islam. Violence from Shiite or Sunni is unacceptable. Murder by anyone is undue and rejected»” Anatolia reported.....Mor..

iran Why We Shouldn’t Worry About Giuliani’s Ties to an Iranian Resistance Group

 Mujahidin e-Khalq, or MEK, an Iranian resistance group, and the U.S. politicians who support it, especially former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. As a former Democratic member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and someone familiar with the MEK and Giuliani’s work on the organization’s behalf, I can say unequivocally that Benjamin’s assertions are outrageous—so outrageous that I must respond.

First, I want to be clear about one thing: This isn’t about Rudy Giuliani. Arguably the broadest and most impressive bipartisan coalition in a generation has supported the MEK in its campaign for regime change in Iran. This includes two former chairmen of the joint chiefs, two former CIA directors, a former attorney general and the former chairs of both political parties. The ideological range includes everyone from Howard Dean and Patrick Kennedy to Newt Gingrich and John Bolton. From this perspective, the outlier isn’t Rudy Giuliani; it’s Daniel Benjamin mor...mor...

A big victory for the Iranian opposition PMOI as the last remaining members in Camp Liberty, leave Iraq for Albania

This afternoon the main Iranian opposition PMOI, moved their remaining members who were previously trapped in Camp Liberty near Baghdad airport. This successful huge transfer took place while the Iranian regime planned to either eliminate or rip apart its main enemy while they were still in Iraq.

This final round of departures marks the successful conclusion of the process of relocating members of the PMOI to countries of safety outside Iraq despite the Iranian regime’s conspiracies, obstruction and threats, which continued until the very last day.

I was a member of the European Parliament from 1999 to 2014 and President of the Delegation for Relations with Iraq during my final 5-year mandate. I was able to learn at first hand about the Iraqi government’s repeated attempts to annihilate the defenceless PMOI refugees in Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty, under the guidance of the Iranian regime.

'Free Iran' rally to give voice to those still suffering in the Islamic Republic

'Free Iran' rally to give voice to those still suffering in the Islamic Republic

On July 9, I will be joining a large number of my fellow Iranian expatriates and their international supporters at the annual “Free Iran” rally in Paris. The National Council of Resistance of Iran has been hosting such events for over 10 years.
How do I know? After this year’s rally, I will have seen the event from both sides of the ideological wall that separates the Islamic Republic from most of the rest of the world. In past years, I was among those Iranians who supported the NCRI and its main constituent group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK), from a silent place inside the country. I put my safety and freedom at risk, as did many of my colleagues, to carry on the groups’ local activism. I spent five years in jail from 2009 to 2014 and suffered extensive physical and psychological torture for my support for the PMOI.  I fled Iran at the age of 29 last year....
