Iran's Middle East ambitions more dangerous than nuclesar threat

Iran, chasing a strategic objective of safeguarding its very existence, sees its interests in hindering any efforts to reach a lasting peace, while canvassing its role as an effective party in the war against ISIS.
It is worth noting that hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrians seeking life under a free state are paying the price of Khamenei’s ruthless dictatorship. Iran’s meddling in the region and provoking sectarianism have rendered increasing fundamentalism and the rise of Daesh and al-Qaeda. Parallel to appeasing Iran to maintain the mullahs at the negotiating table, silence and inaction seen from the West in the Middle East, especially by the Obama administration, have further intensified the Levant inferno and complicated regional conditions, especially Syria. To this end, Iran has been the main benefactor as a result. The status quo further proves a warning issued by Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi, President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). “Four years ago I warned the threat of the mullahs’ meddling in Iraq is 100 times more dangerous than its nuclear ambitions,” Rajavi said in a speech on June 30, 2007 in Paris. Although Iran failed to obtain nuclear weapons thanks to continuous NCRI revelations, Tehran’s destructive meddling and crimes carried out by affiliated Shiite militias in Iraq, Syria and abroad are far more dangerous. This campaign has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the region, leveled cities and displaced millions.
Tehran’s interventions in the Middle East have brought any and all efforts to establish peace, stability, and security to a complete halt. Of course, this is not due to Tehran’s strength and capabilities. In fact, it is all the byproduct of inaction, silence, and policy of appeasement adopted by the West vis-à-vis Iran, and 16 years of strategic mistakes by Washington in this flashpoint region of the globe.

Maryam Rajavi addresses the French National Assembly: Middle East Developments, French and European Approaches

Occupying Iraq and delivering the country in a silver plate to Iran, parallel to disarming the leading organized opposition entity, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), were all gifts provided by the West and U.S. to the leading state sponsor of terrorism. Without a doubt any involvement of Iran in the war against Daesh will only register as an aberration in establishing regional peace and security, forcing the international community to pinpoint resources on derivatives of Iran’s terrorism crusade.

Solution
Of course, true and lasting Middle East peace and security are only possible through regime change in Iran and the establishment of a democratic and secular government in Tehran. This is the objective set by the Iranian opposition under Mrs. Rajavi’s leadership. Her 10-point-plan for the future Iran, enjoys the support of thousands of MPs, political, religious, legal and civil dignitaries across the globe. Abi-partisan letter signed by 23 former top officeholders in the past five administrations to the president-elect urges the incoming Trump administration "to establish a dialogue with Iran's exiled resistance, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)," which has called for free elections to establish a secular, democratic, non-nuclear republic in Iran as well as an end to what it calls Tehran's "religious dictatorship." Middle East stability can only be achieved in bringing an end to Iran’s meddling in Syria and across the region. With Iran evicted from the Middle East all forms of fundamentalism, including Daesh, will have no reason to exist. And naturally, the West will be relieved of the current wave of lethal terrorist attacks.

Iran Lobby’s Yellow and Biased Smear Campaign Against MEK

IranFreedom - Tehran has taken nearly full control over Baghdad thanks to the Obama Middle East Doctrine. One victim of such a failed policy has been the country of Iraq, as Iran gained enormous influence over it under President Barack Obama’s watch.
“Iran is taking over Iraq,” U.S. President-elect Donald Trump emphasized during the campaign back in October.
Iran has continuously meddled in all aspects of Iraqi life, be it political, social, economicand military issues. After Obama rushed to pull all U.S. troops out of the country, Tehran jumped to the occasion and took full advantage.
Baghdad has been influenced heavily by Tehran through a long list of Shiite political parties and ruthless militia groups.

Iran was also able to launch numerous deadly attacks against its legitimate and democratic opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), stationed in Iraq at the time. The MEK is known to have first blown the whistle on Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program and provided accurate intelligence on Iran’s meddling in Iraq and the entire Middle East.
In its effort, the MEK has unprecedentedly gained the support of thousands of prominent politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, and amazingly both sides of the aisle in Washington politics. Following the recent U.S. presidential election results, the regime in Tehran is currently terrified over the various candidates weighed by Trump for his administration.
Congress support for Iran opposition.

Iran’s lobbyists like Dan Benjamin launching a yellow and biased smear campaign, due to serious concern about the likes of former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, Ambassador John Bolton and others having such close relations with the President-elect.
As a result of Obama’s failed foreign policy in the Middle East the nations of Iraq, Iran, Syria and beyond have endured enormously harsh conditions. The U.S. administration and Congress have the opportunity to correctly reverse these mistakes.
Evicting Iran from Iraq is the accurate policy that will provide the interests of all nations across the region, and the United States as well. This is the prelude for change in Iran and allowing the Iranian people decide their own fate.

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.

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.”

Iran Nuclear: ISJ Statement on Lifting of International Sanctions

The lifting of sanctions should be a precondition of human rights in Iran. According to reported by ISJ on November 20, 2014, the Iranian regime has done utmost to mislead the international community. The report found: "two systems have been fully functional during the whole period of the study. A civilan system includes Iran's Atomic Energy Organiaztion and universities, while a military system constitues the secret aspect of this program. The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, former President Rafsanjani and President Rouhani are equally involved in efforts to mislead the world. But disclosure of Iran’s nuclear projects in August 2002 by the opposition PMOI/MEK inside Iran and the political coalition NCRI, the Iranian regime would have undoubtedly far more surprised us in acquiring the nuclear bomb than the North Koreans. Iran should be held accountable by the UN Security Council for its abhorring and systematic violation of human rghits and its malign influence in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.  Any improvement of relations with this regime should be preconditioned on the improvement of human rights and situation of women and a complete withdrawal of its forces and militias from the countries in the region.

He said, the 2009 sedition was a sort of augmented of the riots of the 1999, that was student-led uprising. If you look at the slogans, the end of the 2009 election, they chanted ‘Death to the principle of velayat-e faqih (absolute clerical rule)’ and they called for an ‘Iranian Republic’ [in place of the Islamic Republic]”, nothing to do with the election. “It is interesting that when pictures of the PMOI base in Camp Ashraf were published, the main slogan that they had written in large letters on their parade ground was that same slogan of ‘Death to the principle of velayat-e faqih’,” Anbarloui said.

 

Iran - Daughter of political prisoners tells Italian Senate of human rights abuses

Iranian dissident Shaqayeq Azimi

NCRI - Iranian dissident Shaqayeq Azimi, 22 whose parents were arrested last month in Iran by the mullah's regime for supporting the main Iranian opposition Organization (PMOI Mujahedin-e khalq, MEK), testified before lawmakers at the Italian Senate about the appalling human rights situation in Iran during the tenure of the regime's President Hassan Rouhani. 
Both my parents are ex-political prisoners. My father is suffering from heart problems and has been persecuted both under the Shah and the mullahs’ dictatorship. My mother spent about 10 years in prison. She is suffering from MS caused by harsh tortures she endured while in prison from 1981 to 1986.
I also want to tell you about my dear 23-year-old cousin, Nastaran Azimi, who I grew up with. She was a computer major in Tehran University and an artist. 

Nastaran Azimi

She was slain in the deadly attack by Iraqi forces at the behest of Iranian regime on Camp Ashraf on April 8th, 2011. Such attacks which started in Camp Ashraf were extended to Camp Liberty. My sisters and brothers still have to face missile attacks. The latest attack was on October 29 when more than 80 missiles hit the camp resulting in 24 deaths and many more injured simply because the Iraqi government, the UN and the US did not live up to their responsibilities towards the security of the camp residents. 
Finally, while I thank you for your support, my plea to you is to urge your government to publically condemn human rights violations in Iran while Rouhani is in Rome.
