The ridiculous nature of Rouhani’s claims about Iran's economic growth A sign at a protest rally reads, “1% completely provided, 99% completely hungry” Reporting by PMOI/MEK Iran, October 11, 2019 —Iranian regime president  Hassan Rouhani  claimed on Wednesday, October 9, the regime’s  Central Bank  has announced Iran’s industries have grown by 1.2 percent in the past month, adding this means the “maximum pressure” policy of the U.S. has failed. These remarks were taken as completely ridiculous and baseless even by members of his own faction inside the Iranian regime, who reacted in a critical fashion. Various such individuals referred to vivid examples of how the mullahs’ regime is bankrupt and facing incurable economic crises as corruption is riddling this regime from top to bottom. Majid-Reza Hariri, head of the Iran-China Chamber of Commerce, described the  economic situation  as “unstable” and made interesting remarks about the claims ra...

EDITORIAL: Khamenei’s Well-Founded Fears Published on  11 October 2019 . Last week, the Iranian regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei broke his 40-day silence on the crises facing his regime. In a meeting with commanders of the terrorist Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) on October 2, Khamenei expressed “utter satisfaction” with their actions and described them as his “dear children.” While trying to be circumspect, Khamenei confessed to a wave of defections in the ranks of the IRGC and called on his commanders to be ready for “big incidents,” a euphemism for the tougher times that his regime will soon face. Recent events show Khamenei’s fear to be well-founded. His regime is indeed running headlong toward “big incidents” on various fronts.

Allowing women into the football stadium; “A cynical public stunt” Written by  Mahmoud Hakamian  on  10 October 2019 . The heartbreaking death of  Sahar Khodayari  dubbed as Blue Girl, who self-immolated after facing a six-month jail term for attending a soccer match, was the latest incident highlighting the tragic plight of Iranian women in Iran under the rule of the misogynous theocracy. Sahar’s death created a firestorm, compelling the mullahs to temporarily backtrack. Facing tremendous outside pressure, even being thrown out of FIFA, the Iranian regime finally caved in and allowed a limited number of women into Tehran’s Azadi Stadium to watch the match between Iran and Cambodia. Fearful of the consequences of women’s presence in the stadium, however, officials limited the number of tickets sold to women.  Only four sections of the stadium, totaling around 3,500 seats, were allocated to women. Azadi Stadium has a capacity of around 78,000 sea...
