It's time to rethink the U.S. policy toward Iran

 After eight years, the Obama administration has run its course. The next president will have the chance to right the wrongs and correct past mistakes by taking the right side and standing with the people of Iran and the region, who have suffered the most at the hands of the mullahs and have the greatest potential to bring change that can put Iran and the Middle East on the path toward the re-establishment of peace and stability.
After signing the nuclear deal with Iran, President Obama, who Was very satisfied of his foreign policy toward Iran, expressed hope “to have conversations with Iran that incentivize them to behave differently in the region, to be less aggressive, less hostile, more cooperative, to operate the way we expect nations in the international community to behave.” Last Thursday, State Department Spokement Mark Toner admitted just how misplaced those hopes were by saying, and added: Iranian behavior in the region that is, frankly, not positive, that is unconstructive.
Obama had to hope that Iran cooperate in resolving the issues in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. A year after the nuclear deal, not only has the Iranian regime failed to manifest a modicum of cooperation on the crises riddling the region, but Iran’s contribution to the resolution of the Syrian conflict has been the dispatch of tens of thousands of troops to shore up the Assad regime and prolong a crisis. During this time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), has benefited the most from the economic incentives of the nuclear deal, has spent the cash windfall to send arms to the Houthis in Yemen. And in Iraq, Iran-backed militias continue to keep the country on the precipice of sectarian strife. General Hossein Salami, the Deputy Chief of the IRGC, during a speech he delivered on the anniversary of the occupation of the U.S. embassy in Tehran also threatened that Iran would scrap the nuclear deal and reactivate its centrifuges if the U.S. didn’t stand up to its commitments.

NCRI - Conference in Italy: "Justice for Victims of 1988 Massacre in Iran"

On November 7, as reported by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a conference was held in the main hall of the Central University of Sassari, in #Italy, to commemorate the 30 thousand martyrs of the #1988massacre in Iran, to support the “Justice Seeking Movement”, and to condemn the repression of women by the clerical regime of #Iran. The mayor of Sassari, the director of the Amnesty International, and Italian representatives participated in the conference. A delegation of the Iranian Resistance also attended and made a speech.

Dr. opened the conference, and the guests and speakers were introduced. The political-cultural advisor of Sassari's Mayor, Raffaella Sau, welcomed the delegation of the Iranian Resistance and said, ”I want to express my gratitude to the Association of the Iranian youths in Italy for holding the conference. I also thank those who resist in order to attract the worldwide attention. I appreciate you for your activities which shape our public opinion against violence and genocide in your country.” Elahe Arjmandi, a member of the Women's Commission of NCRI, spoke about the Massacre of 1988, in which 30,000 political prisoners were executed under Khomeini's Fatwa. She declared that that the Martyrs maintained their resistance at the gallows, 

and talked about the brutality of Khomeini and the death commissioners.  She emphasized on the role of that leaders still active in the regime played in the Massacre of 1988, as well as the current wave of executions. She stressed that these leaders will be tried, and this is what the Justice Seeking Movement advocates. Elham Zanjani was the next speaker. She described the regime’s repression of women and stated that women’s role in Iran is to stand against the fundamentalism which has arisen from the system of ‘Velayat e Faqih’ (the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist). Among the 120,000 martyrs of Iranian resistance, there were a significant number of women and girls who were the members of Peoples Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK/PMOI).  Despite suppression, the regime could not scare the youth off. They were inspired by the struggle of the women at the forefront of demonstrations and protests against the clerical regime. Samira Nariman was the next speaker. She spoke on behalf of the Association of the Iranian youths in Italy, and explained the activities of the Iranian youths' Association in Europe and America in supporting the Justice Seeking Movement. Next, Dr. Stefania Fusco and Dr. Maria Cristina Carta discussed the misogynistic laws of the regime, and the suppression of women in Iran as a fundamental basis of the clerical regime. They pledged their support to the Justice Seeking Movement and stressed on the necessity of bringing justice to the perpetrators of the Massacre of 1988. Mr Nicola Sanna, the mayor of Sassari, was the last speaker. Appreciating that the conference which was held in honor of the martyrs of freedom, he said, ”I congratulate the ladies who participated in this conference since the president of the Iranian Resistance is a woman and this contains a significant concept and message. The women lead the resistance at the national and international levels and they are the actual champions of freedom and democracy.”  He continued, “We and our city are on the side of the freedom fighters and the revolutionaries. We welcome the delegation of the Iranian Resistance and we support their struggle for freedom and democracy.”

IRGC Deputy Chief Boasts:Iran will send the deal to museum, if US don't honor its commitments under the JCPOA

Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hussein Salami warned on Thursday that if the US fails to honor its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran will send the deal to museum and return to the first point. “The Iranian government has promised the nation that if the US fails to honor its commitments under the nuclear deal, it will nullify the deal and resume nuclear activities,” the Iranian commander added. 

Foreign hostages is a lucrative business for Mullah regime in Iran

It's because the Iran regime now more need to stand up economy That's because the Iran regime is desperately needed to Prop up their  economy and ransom them to their respective countries for handsome amounts. What led us here? The failed policy aimed at taming the nefarious activities of the Iranian regime through concessions and appeasement. America was forced  for the release of Saeed Abedini and the other hostages to give ransom $ 400 million. In fact, recent months have seen a significant increase in the Iranian regime's actions against foreigners visiting the country. Since the January prisoner swap, at least six dual-national Iranians have been arrested, and others have received heavy prison sentences from the Iranian regime's judiciary under bogus charges of acting against the state. 
Iranian officials are making multi-million dollar demands for the release of some of the prisoners, and according to sources close to the Iranian regime, demands might be raised to as much as $2 billion. 
This is further proof that January's ransom has only whetted the appetite of the mullahs for more. To their benefit, foreign nationals have a voice abroad that will offer them a measure of reprieve and immunity from the horrors that have become the notorious hallmark of Iran's prisons. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the tens of thousands political prisoners executed without fair trials, and the thousands of inmates who continue to linger in Iran's dungeons, awaiting their fate under conditions that a recent United Nations report describes as deeply troubling. The next U.S. president will have a chance to adopt the right approach and show some backbone and determination. In the meantime, lives will be hanging in the balance.
