This statement was issued by Senator Robert Torricelli:
The failing Mullah’s regime in Tehran is resurrecting the hollow image of Reza Pahlavi as a distraction....
The people of Iran have been dealing with the aftermath of torrential rain and huge storms that have resulted in flash flooding. Large parts of the country have been affected by the torrents of water and a large number of people have died. Houses have been destroyed, villages and towns have been cut off from the rest of civilisation, livelihoods have been swept away and clean water supplies are scarce. Electricity has been cut and people are taking refuge on the top of buildings to get away from the water.
Iran is ruled by misogynistic mullahs who have spent the past 40 years suppressing women’s rights as part of their campaign to intimidate the entire nation. Under the Velayat-e Faqih Regime, women are seen as inadequate to men as so must be submissive and obedient slaves.
On Tuesday, the European Union sent a message to Iran by imposing the first sanctions since the nuclear deal was signed in 2015. The EU announced that it will blacklist and freeze the assets of an Iranian intelligence (MOIS) unit and two of its staff for planning two political assassinations in Netherlands and for plotting attacks in Denmark and France.
The leader of the Iranian Resistance, Maryam Rajavi, has made a statement in support of the recent protests in Iran by retirees and farmers, declaring that these anti-regime protests will continue until the end of the mullahs’ rule.
At these protests on Wednesday, January 2, retirees in Tehran and Mashhad and farmers in Isfahan called the Regime out for their tyranny, their failure to implement their promises, and the fact that the Iranian people are forced to live in dire conditions.
At the end of 2018, Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the Iranian Resistance gave an important message to supporters of freedom and democracy in Iran and across the world about the very real possibility that Iran will be free at some point in 2019.
Maryam Rajavi began her speech with a message to Christians, both in Iran where they are heavily persecuted and around to the world, on the occasion of Christmas; offering her sincere congratulations upon the holiday and praising both Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary for their sacrifices.
Public-private, which consists of the beginning of the word private and the end of the public, has become a distinct word in the Persian language. To describe the formerly publicly owned companies in Iran that have been bought out privately, the media and opposition figures invented this word combination to better describe the situation.
The Iranian Regime is besieged by US sanctions, international condemnation for their malign behaviour, factional infighting, and domestic unrest that has taken the form of nationwide anti-regime protests led by democratic opposition force the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Although the International Atomic Energy Agency announced on Thursday that Iran was still in compliance with the restrictions put in place on its nuclear program by the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the US sought to shine a light on other aspects of Iran’s pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, in an apparent effort to further justify the American withdrawal from the agreement.
