True of Iran

The Hill.TV, EPISODE 4 The Hill.TV-EPISODE 4:   Iran's legacy of torture and mass execution persists. Tahar Boumedra, the former UN human rights chief in Iraq, says there is "overwhelming" evidence that Iran engaged in a crime against humanity during the 1988 slaughter.

Yes, the Iran regime has a viable alternative By Tom Ridge  Over the years, it has been my privilege to meet with Iranians whose spouses, children and friends are among the 120,000 executed since the mullahs took over the great country of Iran, whose culture is one of the world’s most sophisticated, its population one of the most literate and one of the youngest. Yet they remain under the thumb of what some in Washington still refer to as a “moderate” regime. I have been asked about the regime’s alleged moderation. Let’s look at Iranian elections in contrast to the Democratic candidacies this year, or the Republican primary last time around dozens of candidates. They don’t do that under the moderate regime in Iran. Everyone is vetted, and unless you are approved by the mullahs you can’t be a candidate. How about our First Amendment? We have more than 100 networks and television stations, free to roam, and newspapers everywhere. Freedom of press in Iran? Are t...

How Iran Took Over The Middle East, With Bush And Obama’s Help by L Todd Wood Hindsight is 20/20, but when you are the commander-in-chief, you can’t afford to be wrong When it comes to Iran, George W. Bush was very wrong, and Barack Obama was very complicit. And now it’s left to President Trump to clean up the mess. I refer in particular to the way Tehran used both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama, albeit in different ways, to promote its own interests in the Middle East and put its troops on Israel’s doorstep, all to fulfill a long-held dream of eradicating the Jewish state from the map. Although it can seem like ancient history, we’re living with the consequences to this day. Mr. Bush was told that Iran was the major threat in the region, not Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. He was told that if he invaded Iran, the mullahs would make life hell for American troops. He was told that Iran wanted to take control of Iraq. I know, I’ve talked to the people who told him. IRAN WILL ...

Khomeini’s evil precedents in Iran 40 year legacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini, has set many cruel precedents in Iran. Many of his so-called teachings are still being carried out today and according to one scholar, staying faithful to Khomeini’s ideology has been the litmus test for all political activity in Iran in the last 40 years. Therefore, despite dying only ten years after the founding of his tyrannical regime, one can draw the conclusion that the 40 years of death, destruction and corruption are his legacy. Before the revolution Sayyid Ruhollah Mūsavi Khomeini was born on September 24, 1902 and died on June 1989 at the age of 87. Known as a religious leader or marjah before the revolution, Khomeini refused to use his religious authority to oppose the coup against the pro-democracy government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh or the Shah’s crackdown on dissent which led to co...

European visit to Albania exposes Iran's misinformation campaign A high-level delegation of MEPs from Brussels recently visited Ashraf 3 in Tirana, Albania. Photo by Firouz Mahvi Nov. 27 (UPI) -- In 2013, an airlift began and the first Iranian dissidents arrived in the Albanian capital, plucked to safety from the hell they had endured in Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty inside Iraq. Albania may be a tiny country, but its people have big hearts. Having suffered years of oppression under the communists, the Albanian government was united in its determination to offer a safe haven to the People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI or MEK ). Soon the surviving 3,000 MEK members were safely housed in special accommodation in Tirana, provided by the U.N. High Commission for Refugees. The Iranian mullahs were appalled; their attempts to liquidate the MEK, the main democratic opposition to their tyrannical regime, had been thwarted. They could not allow these dissidents, wh...
