MARYAM RAJAVI AND THE FIGHT FOR SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND STATE IN IRAN INU- The Iranian Regime is a theocracy based on a mutilated version of Shiite Islam, which punishes people for not adhering strictly to the state religion. This is not how Iran should be and it is not how Shiite Islam is supposed to be practised. True Islam, as Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, notes, bears hardly any resemblance to the bastardised version practised by the mullahs. Maryam Rajavi has spent the past 50 years fighting for a secular, democratic Iran and has outlined the need for the separation of religion and state in Iran in countless speeches and writings. Here, we shall summarise Maryam Rajavi’s points. Rejection of compulsory religion Maryam Rajavi explains that there is no place for compulsory religion in a modern society and notes that the medieval Sharia laws, the excommunication of opponents, and despotism dressed up as religion are actually violations ...

IRAN LOBBY TERRIFIED OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF RESISTANCE OF IRAN (NCRI) By INU Staff INU - We know that the Iran lobby is terrified of the Iranian Resistance. We can see this in their constant attempts to slander dissidents through any means necessary in order to keep the Iranian Regime in power. But the reason why may surprise those who only hear about Iran through cable news. Simply, the Iranian Resistance is unique among forces that seek to remove dictatorships from power. It not only advocates for regime change, but also represent the viable alternative to the mullahs. Most revolutions fail because there is no stable government in place to take over, leading to chaos. The Iranian Resistance has formed a government-in-exile made up of several dissident groups (collectively known as the National Council of Resistance of Iran or NCRI) and it has working relationships with many of the world’s governments. The NCRI is ready and willing to take over the governing of Iran w...

MEK CALLS ON EUROPE TO PUT IRANIAN HUMAN RIGHTS OVER TRADE DEALS By INU Staff INU - Former MEP  Struan Stevenson  recently  wrote  an article about the Iranian Regime’s panic and anxiety over the impending collapse on the 2015 nuclear deal, entitled “Iran’s mullahs press the panic button”.  In it, he outlines how the Regime wants to preserve the flawed deal through any means necessary, whilst Iranian Resistance groups, like the  People’s Mujahedin Organisation of Iran (MEK) ,  and the Iranian people want the deal to fail in order to bring about regime change in Iran. MEK SUPPORTS SCRAPPED TRADE DEALS When the US withdrew from the nuclear deal on May 8, a move that was greatly supported by the MEK, European companies had to decide between trading with Iran and risking heavy US sanctions or cutting ties altogether. Many companies have righty chosen to cut their ties with the terrorist regime, which is the right thing to do for their b...

IRAN LOBBY IN US LOSES IT OVER BOLTON APPOINTMENT 3/29/2018 8:27:13 AM   facebook Google+ ► Print The Iran Lobby in the US losing their minds over Trump’s appointment of John Bolton as the new national security advisor By INU Staff INU, 28  March 20  18-   The Iran Lobby in the US has been losing their minds over Donald Trump’s appointment of former UN ambassador John Bolton as the new national security advisor because of Bolton’s ardent and frequent criticism of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and the Iranian Regime in general. Following the announcement, president of the National Iranian American Council Trita Parsi issued a statement lambasting the decision and accusing Bolton of trying to start World War III with Iran. He wrote: “Bolton is an unhinged advocate for waging World War III. He has explicitly called for bombing Iran for the past ten years… Bolton’s first order of business will be to convince Trump to exit the...

WITHOUT HUMAN RIGHTS, TRUMP'S SECURITY STRATEGY ON IRAN WON'T MEASURE UP INU - Human rights need to be incorporated into the United States’ National Security Strategy and the  Iran Policy Review , argues Prof Raymond Tanter. “First, bring the Ayatollahs responsible for mass murder to a global court to prosecute human rights violators. The International Criminal Court (ICC), located in The Hague is one place. The ICC is the court of last resort for prosecution of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity,” Tanter, a former senior member of the US National Security Council staff, wrote in a column for  The Hill on Monday  December 18, 2017. He added: Second, have the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights create a special commission of inquiry. Third, implore President Trump to pay attention to human rights violations by the Ayatollahs. But, we should not forget about their ballistic missiles tests, as a state sponsor of terrorism, and creation of a...

HOW LEBANESE PM'S RESIGNATION AND NEW US SANCTIONS AFFECT IRAN-BACKED HEZBOLLAH By INU Staff INU -Lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad Hariri resigned from office in Riyadh last Saturday. When he  declared the decision , he cited Iranian influence across the region and threats to his life, and followed a thwarted assassination attempt against him in Beirut. According to reports, the Iranian regime called Hariri’s resignation a Saudi-backed plot, and accused Riyadh of having taken the Lebanese Premier as hostage. The government assembled in Lebanon 11 months ago, granted premiership to Hariri but gave political advantages to Hezbollah. According to an   article   in Riyadh Daily, by political analyst Shahriar Kia, “This had given Iran a seemingly legitimate political façade to increase its   violent  meddling in the country and to boost its intervention in neighboring Syria, where it has been propping up the Assad regime against democratic opposition forces...

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN AND NCRI  By INU Staff INU - After many years of the US attempting to appease the Iranian regime, American commitment to economic sanctions has been effectively reestablished, and even expanded, with President Trump’s announcement on October 13 that his administration would be targeting the entirety of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps for its support of global terrorism and its crimes against the Iranian people. Trump has said that the Iranian people are the “longest suffering victims” of the Iranian regime. He and his foreign policy advisors have clarified that the emerging Iran strategy recognizes the difference between the government of the Islamic Republic and the people of Iran.  Many believe that the Trump administration sees a need for regime change and is willing to pursue this goal. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing that US policy in the Middle East should includ...

THE IRANIAN PEOPLE ARE WHAT IRAN REGIME FEARS MOST By INU Staff INU - The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in Washington, DC last June, revealed details concerning the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ (IRGC) regarding both the testing and launching ballistic missiles. Evidence like this shows Iran’s resistance to curbing its agenda. Regarding the effectiveness of the nuclear deal with Iran, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, said, “Judging any international agreement begins and ends with the nature of the government that signed it.” When U.S. President Donald Trump announced his new Iran strategy, he said, “… in just a few years, as key restrictions disappear, Iran can sprint towards a rapid nuclear weapons breakout… What is the purpose of a deal that, at best, only delays Iran’s nuclear capability for a short period of time?” As well, in his September 19th UNGA address, he stated, “The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the...
