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. Now, the world is witnessing how IRGC is a real threat in the Middle East. Looking at the IRGC’s record, we can clearly see the IRGC’s involvement in major terror attacks: 1983 – U.S. Marines base bombing in Beirut, Lebanon 1996 – Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia 2006 – Al-Askari ...

It flies the flag of our nation’s proud stead...

It is understandable that many UK lawmakers believe maintaining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is preferable to proceeding with no agreement whatsoever. But what they fail to take into account is the strong possibility that this and any other deal may be rendered null and void...

A Valid Alternative to the Current Regime in Iran By: Giulio Terzi former foreign affairs minister of Italy The national uprising of the last twelve months in Iran has launched a clear and unequivocal political message, leaving no doubt about the real desire of the people for a regime change. In response, regime officials at the highest levels, including supreme leader Ali Khamenei, have shown themselves to be particularly quick in attributing slogans such as "death to the dictator" and organizing of the revolt to the PMOI / MEK Movement, which has always been at the forefront to end the theocratic regime, its oppressive controls and violent repressions - implemented by the Iranian security and intelligence apparatus - and the immediate release of all political prisoners and for an Iran that fully respects its international obligations and rule of law. In this regard, it is important to underline how the political platform of the National Council of Resi...

lord maginnes OPINION: 2019 BRINGS NEW OPPORTUNITY TO TOPPLE THE IRANIAN REGIME With 2018 coming to a close, it’s time for policymakers to re-examine strategies for confronting Iran’s dictatorship. There have been unique changes in Iranian affairs and policy since the end of last year. New opportunities — and new threats —  have arisen. One year ago, the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was still in full effect. Now, all U.S. sanctions on the Islamic Republic have come back into full force. One year ago, Iran’s domestic situation appeared relatively stable, but within weeks it had erupted into a mass uprising that spanned every major city and town, giving rise to virtually unprecedented anti-government slogans. And one year ago, the Iranian threat to Western nations was largely theoretical and vaguely defined; today, the United States and Europe have faced down at least four terrorist plots targeting Iranian activists on Western soil. Proponents of Iranian democ...
