Who are the enablers of corruption in the Iran economy? Corruption has become a staunch hallmark of the regime ruling Iran Analysis by PMOI/MEK Iran, Aug 7, 2019 -  On August 4, state-run media in Iran quoted Nasrollah Pejmanfar, member of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) from a faction loyal to Supreme Leader  Ali Khamenei , saying that 60 trillion rials (around $600 million) have been embezzled.

Pompeo   Opinion contributor Published 7:09 PM EDT Aug 6, 2019 The Trump administration has implemented an unprecedented pressure campaign on Iran’s leaders with two objectives: First, to deprive the Iranian regime of the money it needs to support its destabilizing activities.

August 6, 2019 Iran's ayatollahs hijacked French government social media account to discredit popular opposition leader By  Hamid Enayat The psychological warfare led by the Iranian mullahs against their political opponents is the most effective since Nazi Germany, aided by their use and abuse of modern social media communication techniques.  The Iranian regime, which took power in 1979 on a religious basis and by using the religious sentiments of the people, has a fundamental characteristic: demagoguery.  It exploited the political vacuum due to the absence of progressive forces owing to their suppression and the extermination of the leaders of these forces by the Shah's secret police, the SAVAK.

Detention of UK-Flagged Tanker by Iran's Regime Unacceptable: Owner Written by  Shahriar Kia  on  07 August 2019 . The continued detention of British-flagged tanker Stena Impero by the Iranian regime is “unacceptable and unjustifiable” and there are concerns for the welfare of the crew after 19 days in confinement, the vessel’s owner said on Tuesday.
