Ministry of Intelligence's "head of hangman" concern over the collapse of the regime's foreign showcase by Bahar Mehr 03 Aug 2019 Saeed Hajjarian: Suspending Iran's UN mission may be the next decision by the US government. Hijarian wrote in the Iranian newspaper: "On the issue of the boycott of the Iranian Foreign Minister, instead of inanimate and purely propaganda arguments, measures should be taken to invite Mohammad Javad Zarif as a peacemaker and a symbol of repeated UN negotiations and to invite more Americans to the United States. finally, thought's Pompeo, Bolton, and Trump go to the sidelines.  "For this purpose, we need strong negotiations with Mr. Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, and the current US government may move to suspend the Iranian representative office in the next step."

The U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Iranian Regime’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif Written by  Shahriar Kia  on  01 August 2019 . The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on the Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. “Javad Zarif implements the reckless agenda of Iran’s Supreme Leader and is the regime’s primary spokesperson around the world. The United States is sending a clear message to the Iranian regime that its recent behavior is completely unacceptable,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. Mnuchin said Zarif used social media to spread Iranian “propaganda and disinformation” while the regime does not allow its citizens to use such mediums themselves. Mohammad Mohaddessin, chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said in a tweet on Wednesday: Zarif and his ministry’s role is to justify suppression, the export of terrorism and warmongering. He boasts of be...

Iran: How hard-earned U.S. dollars are  smuggled out of the country More money is being smuggled outside of Iran Analysis by PMOI/MEK Iran, July 31, 2019  - In May, Hossein Mirshojaeean, former deputy minister of economy in Iran, said that about $30 billion of the total $40 billion that Iran made through exports has never returned to Iran, neither as imported goods nor as money. More recently, according to Eghtesad Online, an Iranian website specializing in economic news, Iran’s director of the Central Bank reported that about $18.5 billion from last year’s $40 billion in exports have returned to Iran. While even taking the comments of Iran’s Central Bank director into account leaves out the fate of 11.5 billion dollars, other governmental statistics suggest that more than 70 percent of the earned money through exports never returns to Iran. No need to say that the major problem here is the very same governmental institutions that function with im...

A sense of crisis in the world's busiest oil shipping lane has been building up for weeks as Iran responds to US President Donald Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign. The US economic sanctions and stepped-up military presence are designed to force Iran to renegotiate a landmark 2015 nuclear pact from which Trump pulled out last year. Britain further outraged Iran by seizing one of its tankers -- the Grace 1 -- on July 4 on suspicion of it carrying oil to Syria in violation of EU sanctions. Iran vowed to retaliate and it's Revolutionary Guards stormed and detained the UK-flagged Stena Impero and its...
