Iran ISNA news agency: 'This is not Fire Festival, it’s a street war' 3/13/2018 6:14:12 PM   facebook Google+ ► Print haunted by the Fire Festival uprising today Iran, Tehran, March 13, 2018  - The government run student news agency, ISNA, haunted by the Fire Festival uprising today, wrote: 'If what has been happening in the name of Fire Festival, for the past few years, is really an Iranian tradition, I prefer to change my nationality to one of those primitive African tribes… What is happening as 'Fire Festival' is not a celebration or festivity, but rather, it is a street war. What we have been witnessing for the past several years has been hand-made bombs and firecrackers, breaking windows and burning cars.' This government source admitted: 'There is no solution for this. Not police, fire department and emergency hospital high alerts, nor Hollywood style movie clips where celebrities give useless advice.' ...

Report: Plundered And Looted By Ayatollahs, Iran’s Angry People Protest

Report: Plundered And Looted By Ayatollahs, Iran’s Angry People Protest By Hassan Mahmoudi - September 27, 2017 Report: The plunder of Iran’s wealth by the ayatollahs, who claim to be Muslim leaders, has left almost nothing for the Iranian people. Under their rule, Iran has grown poorer and its citizens more powerless. Only a tiny rich section remains in the country, comprising mullahs and their families. Make no mistake: these rulers are rich because they have usurped the entire wealth of the rest of the country. How did this come to pass? Over the past two decades, mullahs established lucrative credit institutions in Iran, which eventually spread out to a network of branches. These institutions were launched with political backing and as such were capable of circumventing any law. Yet they had the appearance of lawful, legal institutions. Like legitimate banks, they solicited and took deposits from the people, yet because of their political muscle, they were eventually able t...

Iran asks UN nuclear chief to confirm it still follows deal 10/30/2017 7:41:46 PM   facebook Google+ ► Print International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Yukiya Amano (file photo) TEHRAN, Iran, AP, Oct 29, 2017  - The visit by Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, comes as the U.S. Congress weighs the deal. Trump's refusal this month to re-certify the agreement has sparked a new war of words between Iran and the United States, fueling growing mistrust and a sense of nationalism among Iranians. In a statement issued by his office, Rouhani said Iran's adherence to the deal 'has been complete and remarkable.' 'We hope that, given the full cooperation of Iran in recent years, the IAEA announces the final report on the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program as soon as possible,' Rouhani said. 'We should not allow the (nuclear deal), as an important achievement, to be undermined, and we must...

Lawyers Pressure Boeing to Reveal Details of Its Deal with Iran Air 10/12/2017 8:45:27 PM   facebook Google+ ► Print File; Illustrative photo of an Iran Air Boeing 747 passenger plane. And Republican lawmakers are urging Trump to tell the court to honor the plaintiff's request. The Weekly Standard, October 12, 2017  - Lawyers want Boeing to reveal the secret details of its multibillion dollar deal with Iran Air to an Illinois federal court, a disclosure that hinges on the approval of the Trump administration. The Chicago-based company’s controversial deal to sell 80 commercial jets to Iran Air is permitted under the 2015 nuclear deal. But Tehran simultaneously owes billions in damages to American victims of terrorism—and lawyers for some of those terror victims are looking to the Boeing deal as a starting point for compensation. “We’re trying to get from Boeing information about the actual deal–the deal documents,” said Robert J. Tolch...

How Iranian regime has been training terrorists and dispatching them across the globe +video 10/7/2017 3:48:49 PM The U. S. Needs to View the IRGC as a Terrorist Enemy  The U.S. Representative Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI-US), published  a short and extremely informative video which shows how Iranian regime has been training terrorists in Iran and dispatching them across the globe; and it is doing it to date. Iran has caused the rise of ISIS and remains the single most active state-sponsor of terrorism in the world. The Annual report on terrorism by the United States Government has referred to Iran as the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism in 2016. The United States says that Iran also employs foreign nationals. But how does Iran recruit? And how does Iran train its pawns to carry out its operations? The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, known as the IRGC, has its own extraterritorial arm, known as the...

Iran's People And The Nuclear Deal

Iran's People And The Nuclear Deal Discussions are continuing as we speak over the fate of the highly controversial Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Advocates and opponents are going the limits to present their case prior to the October 15 th  deadline when US President Donald Trump is due to determine the status of Iran’s compliance with the accord. While this is a very important discussion, what unfortunately goes neglected is the status of the Iranian people who should be the first beneficiaries of such an accord that led to many sanctions being lifted from the Iranian regime. The ruling elite in Tehran have usurped the billions provided by the Obama administration in cash, waivers and sanctions reliefs to boost their ballistic missile program in violation of UN Security Council resolutions, prop up the Assad regime in Syria and its continuous killings of innocent people, and escalate their lethal meddling across the...
