Iranian regime officials admit their defeat in censuring internet services On January 21 st , Iranian regime president Hassan Rouhani admitted to Tehran’s failure in filtering the cyberspace.  He did not even get close to criticizing the filtering efforts in their merits. He just said that they were not successful: "Well, we were unsuccessful in some of our efforts in recent years," he said. "We thought it is under our control. We thought it would be filtered if we just ordered so…. What should we do with VPNs?" Virtual private networks (VPN) are tools that allow internet users to circumvent the censorship of internet services and also prevent surveillance and monitoring of online activities. VPN services are especially popular in Iran, where the ruling regime is trying to impose heavy restrictions on access to foreign media and social networks. Rouhani was not the only official speaking of the regime's efforts against free flow of information in cybe...

The Representative Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in Germany welcomes the ban on flights imposed by the Federal Government on Mahan Air to Germany and calls for the cessation of all trade and economic relations with the Iranian regime, in particular with companies and institutions directly or indirectly linked with the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Experience has shown that this regime exploits every opportunity that exists in Western countries for espionage, terror, technology theft, drug smuggling and other illegitimate purposes. On the other hand, the income from foreign trade is spent mainly for the oppression of the Iranian population, for warmongering and export of terrorism, and in short to bolster the mullahs' reprehensible rule. The National Council of Resistance of Iran has already revealed in several reports, including a report released in October 2017 that Mahan Air is part of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards and has called f...

Warsaw, Poland  Next month’s Poland conference, focused on Middle East security and containing the negative influence of the Iranian regime, has become increasingly a source of concern for the Iranian regime. But a particular point that always reveals the truth behind the Iranian mullahs’ tough play about stability and power is their fear of their main organized opposition, PMOI/MEK and NCRI, which shows boldly among Iranian officials’ concerns for the Poland summit. On January 19, Mardom Salari newspaper, close to Iranian regime president Hassan Rouhani’s faction, showed the regime’s fear of PMOI becoming involved in the Warsaw summit and wrote: “PMOI becoming active isn’t a good sign.” Meanwhile, newspapers close to Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei are already declaring the defeat of the summit before it has started out of fear that it would succeed. “The anti-Iranian summit of Poland is a failure even before it even begins,” writes Keyhan newspaper, widely...

INU- The Iranian Regime and its cronies often try to paint their legitimate opposition, the People’s Mujahedin Organisation of Iran ( PMOI/MEK ), as a cult that brainwashes its members and refuses to let them leave their Albanian headquarters. Nothing could be further from the truth. Canadian-Iranian  Somayeh Mohammadi , a MEK member for over 20 years has spoken out about claims from her own parents that she is being kept at the MEK headquarters, named  Ashraf 3  after the group’s first camp near the Iran-Iraq border. Somayeh, 38, said: “When I wanted to leave Canada and join the [MEK] movement my parents (Mostafa and Mahboubeh) gave me their consent to do this.” But then, for some unknown reason, Mostafa changed his mind. Somayeh said: “[My dad] came many times in Iraq … around  Camp Ashraf  and installed 320 loudspeakers [through which they shouted abuse and played very loud music 24 hours a day]. My father was one of them. They threatened to kill all...
