The United Nations General Assembly- September 2019 The international front against the Iranian regime expands Farid Mahoutchi Iran, October 28, 2019 —Following the sessions of the United Nations General Assembly in September, the special committees of the UNGA have become another display of the increasing isolation of the Iranian regime. In previous years, only the UNGA Third Committee focused on the Iranian regime’s human rights violations. But this year, the UNGA’s First Committee, which specializes in disarmament and international security, also focused on the Iranian regime, and different member states condemned Tehran’s destructive policies.

The FATF crisis is escalating to new levels for Iran Iran: Internal disputes flare over FATF financial Iran, October 24, 2019 —Recent remarks made by Iranian regime First Vice President Es’hagh Jahangiri claiming the mullahs’ Supreme Leader  Ali Khamenei  has agreed to all outstanding resolutions of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) supervising over the regime’s financial and banking transactions was welcomed by fierce remarks from members of the rival faction close to Khamenei.

Jahangiri, however, is demanding the ratification of these bills. “We have sent two bills covering ...

Iran: A crisis that can’t be cloaked Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei knows his regime is sinking deeper and deeper into a variety of crises Analysis by PMOI/MEK Iran, September 24, 2019 —Creating a new crisis to cover and escape the previous one has been the Iranian regime’s typical response since its early days under regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini. And to this very day, his successors followed in his footsteps by  exporting their revolution —read death and destruction—to other countries. Their latest endeavor in the business of running an oil-rich country that lacks nothing but normal leadership and a transparent, up-to-date political system, is  attacking Saudi Arabia’s Aramco oil facilities . The mullahs’ Supreme Leader  Ali Khamenei  hoped that such a measure would force the U.S. to back down from its maximum pressure campaign and render some economic relief for his suffocating finances. However, it appears that the aftermath of the at...

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo conducted a number of interviews on Sunday setting the stage on how the United States will be expressing its position vis-à-vis Iran, specifically highlighting the fact that Washington is at the beginning of its sanctions campaign targeting the mullahs’ regime and the  terrorist-designated  Revolutionary Guards ( IRGC ).
