National Council of Resistance of Iran Mullahs' fear of the massive gathering of people in Pasargad and extensive suppressive measures to prevent it The efforts of the brave people to gather in Pasargad on October 29th have scared the religious fascism ruling Iran who has long mobilized its suppressive forces to confront it. On October 26, a 'security official' informed of the plan of 'A group of Monafeqin [meaning PMOI] and anti-revolutionary elements to create turmoil and chaos next week on the occasion of the commemoration of Cyrus', saying 'Other plans of Anti-Revolutionary groups on this day include encouraging their sympathizers to attend this celebration, engaging with the police, and capturing films and photos for publication in the [PMOI] media, as well as making some ‘killed’ in the clashes.

Iran repressive police fire at unarmed protesters Iranian suppressive state security forces opened fire on unarmed protesters at late hours of Sunday night, Oct. 29th injuring a number of them. The protesters were trying to celebrate the National Cyrus Day.  Reports indicate that there is an undeclared martial law in the city of Shiraz to prevent people having a gathering. Many Iranians on Sunday, Oct. 29 tried to travel to Pasargad, the memorial of the Cyrus The Great located on Shiraz-Isfahan Rd, to hold this National Cyrus Day, but were prevented by the suppressive state security forces. The Guards had set up dozens of roadblocks to prevent people from reaching the area. The people, therefore, decided to have this ceremony held in the city of Shiraz. 

Donald Trump speaks at White House on New US Iran Strategy.  Last Friday, President Trump announced the new US strategy towards Iran. Reaction to this strategy was diverse. Advocates of the appeasement policy condemned it, claiming it is in contrast with US interests. Some claimed with this strategy, people of Iran and the region will lose their trust in America. On the other hand, others believe the new strategy will mutually serve the interests of the US and Iranian people. Being the main victims of the West’s appeasement policy, the Iranian people had in fact been waiting for such a strategy for decades. Iran’s Malign Activities In his speech, Trump cited some of Iran’s malign activities during the past 38 years: “Beginning in 1979, agents of the Iranian regime illegally seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held more than 60 Americans hostage during the 444 days of the crisis. The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah twice bombed our embassy in Lebanon – o

Iraqs Popular Mobilization Force commits criminal activities in Kurdish regions  Trump’s exclusion of Iraq from his enumeration of Iranian violations in the Arab world and the IRGC roles there, in Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon, has interesting implications. Iraq seems to occupy a special position for President Trump. The prime minister in Baghdad, Haider al-Abadi, may have earned the trust of the US president, and even a preferential position with regard to US support, possibly at the expense of the Kurds, Washington’s erstwhile long-standing ally. Indeed, Trump has overlooked the participation of the Popular Mobilization forces in battles alongside the federal Iraqi forces to retake Kirkuk from the Kurds and other Kurdish-claimed regions in northern Iraq, bearing in mind that the US Treasury Department has now targeted the IRGC as a supporter of designated groups and stepped its sanctions against Tehran’s elite force. Clearly, the state of division within the Kurdish ranks,

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Saudi King Salman speak before their meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, October 22, 2017 U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Sunday it was time for Iranian-backed militias and their Iranian advisers who helped Iraq defeat Islamic State to “go home” after a rare joint meeting with the leaders of Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The United States is concerned that Iran, a Shi‘ite regional rival, will take advantage of gains against IS there and in Syria to expand the influence it gained after the U.S. invasion in 2003, something Sunni Arab states like Saudi Arabia also oppose. “Iranian militias that are in Iraq, now that the fight against Daesh and ISIS is coming to a close, those militias need to go home. The foreign fighters in Iraq need to go home and allow the Iraqi people to regain control,” Tillerson said at a joint news conference with Saudi foreign minister Adel Jubeir. Tens of thousands of Iraqis heeded a call to arms i
