Understanding the current state of the Iranian regime These days, the fascist regime ruling Iran is in the worst state of its 40-year history, surrounded by a multitude of political, social and economic crises. Iranian officials are regularly confessing to their regime's deadlock and their incapacity to find a way out. In contrast, the Iranian resistance and the people of Iran are gaining momentum with every passing day, especially after putting behind one of the greatest political acts of their history. In this short piece, we will briefly examine the current status of the Iranian regime.

The real state of the regime is reflected in undisclosed discussions and developments that are happening within the regime. Iranian regime president Hassan Rouhani regularly says that the cur...

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC: Source of regional and global terrorism and warmongering The IRGC and the Iranian regime is the source of terrorism and warmongering in the Middle East and across the globe. Facing this global threat, Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), once again stressed on the Iranian Resistance’s demands on behalf of the Iranian opposition: - Designation Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) in their entireties as terrorist entities by the U.S. and the European Union; - Expulsion of the mullahs’ MOIS agents and IRGC Quds Force operatives from the U.S. and Europe.

People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran - PMOI/MEK In recent years, the Iranian regime has emerged as a global cyber espionage and attack threat. The mullahs ruling Iran are constantly escalating their efforts to deploy cyber-attack capabilities against Iranian dissidents as well as the critical infrastructure of other nations.

The Iranian regime has been imposing the harshest internet censorship against its own people from day one, denying Iranians access to free information. The world’s most popular social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube remain banned in Iran. This cruel internet censorship has made Iran one of the “enemies of the internet.” Iran’s regime notoriously employs malware for espionage, especially identifying activists and pro-democracy protesters within its borders. Even some Iranian state-sponsored spyware, such as like “Telegram Talaei” and “Mob...

Iran news in brief, June 27, 2019 Iran Regime Is Torturing Families of Victims of the 1988 Massacre Amnesty International says Iran's regime is torturing the families of the victims of the 1988 massacre.
