Understanding the current state of the Iranian regime

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. To understand the current state of the Iranian regime and its supreme leader Ali Khamenei, one must not listen to the official statements of the regime's officials and its media.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC: Source of regional and global terrorism and warmongering

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.

The Iranian Regime's Collapse Is Coming Soon

The Iranian Regime's Collapse Is Coming Soon By Shahriar Kia The long-suffering people of Iran have been making calls for regime change. They have been calling the regime out for its mismanagement and corruption. They have made it very clear that they do not support the regime’s interventions across the region. They want it to be known that they are horrified that the regime is spreading chaos across the Middle East. Millions of Iranians have been directly impacted by the credit organisations that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in control of. Millions have lost their entire life savings. They are also becoming increasingly outspoken about their situation on social media and through messaging apps. Gone are the days when the regime can limit what goes to press. Furthermore, the people are strongly supported by many people outside the country. The main opposition, the National council of Resistance of Iran ( NCRI ), has support from people across the...

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...

HOW MARYAM RAJAVI WILL CHANGE IRAN

HOW MARYAM RAJAVI WILL CHANGE IRAN By Mahmoud Hakamian Iran is currently ruled by a fundamentalist theocracy that justifies its malign hold over the magnificent country with a mixture of anti-Western sentiments and a false interpretation of Islam.
