This picture shows how diplomatic manipulation with the ruling dictatorship of Iran has only led to the intensification of the war in the region and further repression of the people at home. Appeasement is not a solution, but a betrayal of world peace.   Why Appeasing the Iranian Regime is a Betrayal of the People and Global Peace Any secret agreement between Western powers and the clerical regime in Iran is not merely a political act; it is a "transaction in blood." Experience has shown that the policy of appeasement only buys time for the regime to survive through internal repression and exporting terrorism. Amid the debate over the terms of the MOU with Iran, one key fact has largely gone undiscussed: What is to become of the Iranian people, whose hour of freedom we promised had finally come?

  The Mask of Democracy: Macron and Chirac's Sinister Legacy The repetition of history in the Elysee Palace: the mask of democracy will collapse to reveal the true face of the heirs of the sinister policies of the past. The Mask of Democracy; Macron and the Ominous Legacy of Chirac Today, Paris witnessed another bitter display of the French government’s servility to the Iranian dictatorship.  The enthusiastic gathering of nobles and free Iranians wearing yellow hats and vests, waving the flags of the Lion and the Sun of Iran, and placards of Neither the Shah nor the Sheikh The violent suppression of the peaceful rally in "Place Vauban" and the arrest of freedom seekers was not merely a police action; it was a repeat of history.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by pegah shirazi (@pegah.shirazii) Emmanuel Macron wears the mask of a "defender of democracy," while he is merely walking in the footsteps of the "deceptive Jacques C...

A decade of appeasement: Exposing the systemic collapse of policy that has turned the streets of Paris into an extension of Tehran’s suppression machine. Read the dossier. T he summons of Behzad Naziri by the French police is not a "legal procedure." It is a disgrace—a betrayal of the very values France claims to uphold. It is the final stamp of approval on a decade-long policy of appeasement coursing through the corridors of the Quai d'Orsay: Protecting murderers to preserve short-term interests. If you analyze the trajectory of the Iranian regime’s reach into Europe over the last ten years, you will see that this trend has not merely persisted; it has become systemic. Years ago, appeasement was veiled under the mask of "diplomacy." Today, the mask has slipped. By summoning a human rights defender for the "crime" of organizing a peaceful pursuit of justice, the French authorities have effectively become an extension of the Iranian regime's suppr...

On June 19, Raisi was selected as President in the aftermath of a nationwide boycott of Iran’s sham elections. Who is Raisi, and what does his presidency mean for Iran and the world? Dubber butcher of 88, Raisi was one of four members of the death commission for Evin and Gohardasht prisons near Tehran during the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners. Geoffrey Robertson: Late in July 1988 as the war with Iraq was ending, prisons in Iran that were crammed with opponents suddenly went into lockdown.

Iran’s Election Boycott Signified Much More Than Just A Change In Administration nternational news outlets have shown a growing awareness of the boycott of Iran’s presidential election that took place a week ago. Even some Iranian state media have speculated about voter participation rates that could break the record low that was set only 16 months ago at the latest parliamentary election. Western media are picking up this phenomenon in Iran that the regime itself has made little effort to cover up. But those same outlets should not overlook the reasons behind the popular boycott, which appears to be exactly what they’ve done. Most reports in the U.S. and Europe seem to ascribe voter apathy to a relative lack of options on the ballot, coupled with growing frustration over an economic crisis and a glut of corruption. These things certainly are contributing to the appeal of the boycott movement, but what Western reporting tends to neglect is the fact that this movement...
