Iran regime supreme leader, Ali Khamenei   During a meeting with members and associates of the Revolutionary Guards ( IRGC ), and in reaction to the U.S. State Department  designating  this entity as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei voiced his concerns over growing unrest that could very well lead to an uprising in Iran. The IRGC should remain high alert on the streets in cities and towns. “The IRGC is an outstanding force in the country. Whether from outside the country, or cities and towns inside the country, the IRGC is on the front lines fighting the enemy,” Khamenei said. The mullahs’ supreme leader is terrified of escalating social dissent from the scales of the flood disasters and unimaginable increase in the cost of living that could turn into an all-out uprisings bringing down the regime in its entirety. “You look at the price increase of such an item in the market, it is normal for these things to happen.

The Warsaw conference   The Iranian regime is experiencing its most dangerous state of crises in its international relations since the 1979 revolution.  The Conference in Warsaw  was an important turning point. Four elements make the regime extremely concerned about the consequences of the summit: Consensus on the threat to peace and stability After the anti-ISIS coalition this was the first time such an international consensus was reached on a challenge in the region. More than 60 nations agreed on the Iranian regime being the main threat. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo emphasized that not one country disagreed that the Iranian regime is the  source of all mischief in the Middle East. Mohammad Taheri, the regime's former ambassador to Poland, said on February 16, 2019, "The mere holding of such a conference and gathering the regional and global opponents of Iran is harmful to our security interests." Ali Khorram, the regime's former ambassador to...

IRAN REGIME FEARS OVER PEACE SUMMIT EXPOSES FEAR OF MEK

Image
INU- The Iranian Regime has been publically fuming over the ministerial summit on peace and security in the Middle East since US secretary of state Mike Pompeo announced it last Friday. Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif called the summit “disappointing” and “anti-Iranian circus”, according to Iranian state-run television, even criticising Poland for hosting the event. While Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian Parliament, referred to the summit as a form of “psychological warfare”, which would be a “losing battle” for the US, and asked for the Regime to provide a “decisive response” to Poland, something “beyond a simple complaint”. This is to be expected because Iran is still reeling from the recent European sanctions levied against it for terrorist activity on the Green Continent and the significant delay in Europe actually creating the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to maintain trade with Iran despite US...

Iran’s Heightened Fears of MEK Dissidents Are a Sign of Changing Times

Image
Iran has been the center of international attention in 2018. In light of unprecedented, continuous protests and strikes at home, a faltering economy, growing regional and international isolation, and the imposition of massive US sanctions, there are growing signs that the  status quo  has become untenable and the regime is finding it much more difficult to contain the situation. The theocratic regime’s new onslaught against its opponents, most notably against the principal opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran or Mujahedin-e-Khalq (PMOI/MEK), is a serious indicator of changing times in Iran. In addition to domestic repression, the multi-faceted campaign against the MEK entails terror plots in the West and massive disinformation and demonization in the media and on the Internet. Continuation of protests: The new Iran The most defining aspect of Iran in 2018 has been the continuation of anti-government protests. The wave of protests that started in the l...
