His body was gruesomely cut in half under the wheels of a train. This shocking incident happened in the Golbarg Station of Tehran’s underground metro after the regime’s agents who are accustomed to extorting and plundering the property of the toilers, confiscated the goods of this deprived young man that was only worth less than three dollars and was his only means to support his family.

The Iranian people are fighting off these hardships while hundreds of billions of dollars of their wealth is being wasted by the mullahs’ regime in the ominous nuclear project, the export of terrorism and a transgressing warmongering in the countries of the region such as Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Bahrain, or usurped in astronomical embezzlements and sent to the bank accounts of the mullahs and their likes and affiliates. This is a catastrophic situation that the supporters of the appeasement-policy knowingly close their eyes to in order to advocate the illusion of “moderation” regarding the criminal Mullah Rouhani and thereby participate in lengthening the life of mullahs’ created hell and the oppression and the miserable life of the Iranian people.
