Time to move on assisting Camp Liberty residents

It started out as a series of written promises from the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, and the Government of Iraq.  In return for the residents of Camp Ashraf, Iraq accepting relocation to Camp Liberty, a former U.S. Army base co-located with Baghdad International Airport, they were assured of a safe and humane environment, the right to sell their property at Ashraf, the right to purchase and receive life support items, and the assurance of quick resettlement out of Iraq.  Not a single promise made was fulfilled.

Maryam Rajavi to #FreeIran gathering in Paris: ‘A year after nuclear deal, both factions fail at rescue, Iranian regime on verge of being overthrown’

Addressing a large gathering of Iranian exiles in Paris on 9 July, Free Iran, Iranian Resistance President-elect Maryam Rajavi presented an assessment of the clerical regime’s situation one year after signing the nuclear agreement and said: “The regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei realized that the survival of his regime was threatened. In order to rescue the regime, he ultimately decided to retreat with an at least temporary abandonment of the regime’s nuclear weapons programme. Yet the crisis engulfing the regime could not be contained. On the contrary, it was exacerbated, throwing the regime even deeper into the quagmire of the Syrian war.

“Over the past year since the conclusion of the nuclear accord, many of the sanctions were lifted and oil exports were increased. But the resulting revenues fueled the flames of the Syrian war. Even with some of the most encouraging international opportunities and unwarranted western concessions at the regime’s disposal, the economy went deeper into recession.

Iran’s regime ‘is weakened and engulfed in real crises’

THOUSANDS of Iranians opposed to the current regime are expected in Paris today, where the National Council of Resistance of Iran is gathering for its annual conference.

A cross-party delegation of MPs, including Paul Monaghan and other SNP members, will join the event at Le Bourget.

It aims to promote human rights and democracy in Iran and highlight human rights abuses carried out by the regime of President Hassan Rouhani.

Despite claims that the regime is becoming more moderate, the NCRI said the situation in Iran was worsening, with executions at a 25-year high and Tehran openly violating United Nations resolution 2231 by continuing to test ballistic missiles....

Don't Ignore Iran

Mr. Amess is Conservative MP for Southend West in the House of Commons and co-chair of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom.

In Iran, punishment for breaking the law is brutal. In May, 30 college students were sentenced to 99 lashes for having a co-ed party—but consider them lucky.

Over the past three years alone the Iranian regime has carried out over 2,400 executions, more than at any period since the revolution. This startling rate of executions was enough to give the country the title of top executioner per capita in the world. And Iran’s current and supposedly “reformist” President Hassan Rouhani, described these executions publicly in 2014 as “God’s commandments” and “laws of the parliament that belongs to the people.”

West should push for Iran regime change

West should push for Iran regime change

The only way to make peace with Iran, according to the Obama administration, is to appease its cruel and authoritarian government.

The alternative, according to the White House, would be increased hostility and perhaps even war.

Under this dichotomy, U.S. President Barack Obama has extended an olive branch to America’s longtime adversary.

Iranian dissidents gather in Paris, slam U.S.’ nukes deal

PARIS | In the biggest gathering of its kind, thousands of Iranian dissidents — and no shortage of former high-level American officials from both sides of the aisle — will converge here Saturday for a giant rally calling for the downfall ofIran’s theocratic government.

Organizers say former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is coming, along with former Govs. Howard Dean, Bill Richardson and Tom Ridge, along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and a host of others.

The event’s main organizer is the National Council of Resistance of Iran, whose persistence and tactics have given it a double-edged reputation even among some of Iran’s Western critics. NCRI leader Maryam Rajavi is slated to headline Saturday’s rally with a demand that Washington abandon the year-old Iranian nuclear accord and take a far more aggressive posture toward Tehran.

Essential to Counter to Iran’s Regional Misconduct

As we approach the first anniversary of the Iranian nuclear deal, tens of thousands of activists and Iranian dissidents are set to rally this Saturday in Paris, calling for Tehran’s nefarious conduct at home and in the region to be tackled. One of the primary messages at this rally will be to condemn Iran’s role in the massacre of the Syrian people and to demand an end to its assistance to the Assad government...
