Spring of freedom

Press conference by NCRI before demonstration by Iranian Resistance supporters in Warsaw This week’s Warsaw ministerial summit turned into a nightmare for the Iranian regime, especially after  Iranian communities from around the world  gathered next to the conference to support the Iranian resistance. Even before the summit began, Iranian regime’s propaganda apparatus did its best to describe the effort an already failed attempt, while Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei indoctrinated his followers that the Warsaw summit has no political consequences. But as the gathering of the Iranian opposition next to the summit of representatives of 60 countries went viral, the Iranian regime’s propaganda went up in smoke.

The state-run “Iranian Diplomacy” website writes about a wave of different blows inflicted upon Tehran’s mullahs, especially their policy of warmongering and terrorism across the region. “The expulsion of Iranian diplomats from Tirana (capital of Albania); the anti-[Iranian regime] conference in Warsaw scheduled for February 13-14 parallel to the recent Iranophobia in Denmark and the Netherlands; Vienna refusing to host the ‘special purpose vehicle’ office, the recent sanctions imposed by the Green Continent against Iran; and the European Union’s simultaneous efforts to pursue activities aimed at launching the SPV, all render complicated circumstances and even contradicting behavior by the Europeans vis-à-vis Iran.” Jahan-e Sanat,  another state-run newspaper in I...
