  By Dr. Majid Rafizadeh Rising tensions between the Iranian regime and Israel have the potential to spiral into a wider conflict if not adequately addressed. There are several reasons for the heightened tensions. First of all, although the Iranian regime attempts to distract attention from the direct involvement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria, Tehran continues to increase its military influence there and use its proxies against Israeli targets. Israel last month carried out an airstrike in Syria on a location where Iranian officials were meeting. Iranian leaders were reportedly meeting to discuss developments regarding their country’s drone and ballistic missile capabilities in Syria. The attack occurred on the same day that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the Iranian government for an attack on a vessel owned by an Israeli in the Arabian Gulf. He said: “Last week, Iran attacked an oil tanker … and harmed the international freedom of navigation....

GINGRICH: AS LONG AS THE IRAN REGIME IS IN POWER, THERE WILL BE CHAOS AND TERRORISM SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION .

by Jazeh Miller
Last week, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA), spoke about the threat and dangers posed by the Iranian regime. He reasserted his support of the Iranian Resistance movement via the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).


He said that the United States and the US State Department need to pay more attention to the resistance movement that is working towards a free and democratic Iran.
Gingrich described the Iran regime as a “dictatorship with a façade of democracy”. He explained that during the recent presidential elections, Iran claimed that this was a sign of their democracy, but when you look behind the façade you can see that there was nothing democratic about the elections.
He reminded the audience at the event that the Iranian regime is proud of who and what it is. Before it launches a ballistic missile, it will proudly show pictures of it all over the media with “Death to Israel” or “Death to America” plastered all over it.
Gingrich said that he regretted the United States’ past treatment of the Iranian Resistance, saying that the Iranian regime worked very hard to discredit it. He said that for far too long, the US listened to the dictatorship and not the peaceful resistance movement.
He praised President Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly, saying that with these very strong words it was very clear that the Trump administration would decertify Iran’s compliance to the nuclear deal. Gingrich described Trump’s decertification speech as a strong speech that speaks out against the Iranian regime, and the strongest ever of any leader of the US.
Gingrich pointed out that for as long as the Iranian regime is in power, there will be chaos and terrorism spread across the region and a grave risk to the United States.
Like Donald Trump, Gingrich spoke up for the people of Iran who are very much victims of the Iranian regime. He mentioned the 1988 massacre in which 30,000 people were killed and said that it is “horrifying” that nothing has been done to bring the regime to justice.
The regime, he said, is “surviving by repression” and the NCRI is working inside and outside Iran to ensure that the people are heard and that they are represented. The NCRI has made great efforts to expose the Iranian regime’s activities and it has been very successful in providing evidence that intelligence services were not aware of.
It has been instrumental in providing information about the Iran nuclear deal. Gingrich said: “In my experience, the elements of the National Council of Resistance of Iran who are still inside Iran — and there are thousands of people who are obviously highly quiet about this otherwise they would be picked up by the secret police and killed — but they have been the best source of information on the nuclear program consistently, and have found things when the CIA has been telling us they didn’t exist.”

  By Shahriar kia Footages from Iran on Wednesday show the regime’s police humiliating youths on the street. Under the pretext of fighting crime and thugs, this inhumane measure is another desperate attempt to intimidate the public.   The regime calls defiant youths “thugs” to tarnish their image, w hile the youths  continue targeting the regime’s repressive centers. Therefore, the regime justifies its oppressive measures against defiant youths.     The real “thugs , ” who killed  1500 peaceful protesters  during the major  Iran protests  in November ,  are officially protected and wear uniforms of either the  Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)  or  p olice. Also, organized gangs affiliated with the regime freely circulate in cities with knives and terrorize the public and extort money from people. All the while, the mullahs’ regime arrests, amputates hands or executes those poor people  who are  forced to steal to...

Threats by Friday Prayers Leaders To Iran’s Women Shows Mullahs’ Misogynous Nature

By Sedighe Shahrokhi In a meeting with the head of the regime’s State Security Force (SSF) in Isfahan, central Iran, on Friday, Yousef Tabatabai, Isfahan’s Friday prayers leader and supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s representative, threatened women, paving the way for further oppression. “We should make the society unsafe for the few (mal-veiling women) and not allow them to break the norms on the streets and parks easily… The SSF should be given more authority in dealing with those breaking the law and the norms. We should not be afraid of any hostile action in dealing with the violators,” he said. One of the victims of the 2014 acid attacks in Isfahan These remarks once again show the regime’s misogynous nature. Earlier in 2014, Tabatabai’s statement against so-called “mal-veiled” women resulted in the regime’s thugs attacking young Iranian women and splashing acid on their faces. In a similar development, Abolghasem Yaghoubi, the Friday prayers leader and Khamenei’s representative in No...
