Hail to Mossadeq, the inspiring leader of Iran's oil nationalization movement CATEGORIES //  Highlights of Maryam Rajavi's Meetings & Activities Mossadeq has lived in the hearts and minds of every generation of Iranians who have always honored his memory. This reality attests to the Iranian people's profound desire for the model government established by Mossadeq despite various crises and pressures at home and abroad. His was a democratic government which relied on popular suffrage defended genuine national interests and was devoid of corruption and tyranny. In addition to the nationalization of Iran's Oil Industry, Dr. Mossadeq's other major victory was proving that it is possible to establish a democratic government in Iran. The mullahs, from Kashani to Khomeini and Khamenei, are enemies of Dr. Mossadeq because they see their own rejection in the Iranian people's love and admiration for him. A great lesson of our time is that ...

57 Million Below the Poverty Line: Iran Regime Parliament Predicts By Jubin Katiraie The Iranian Parliament’s Research Center published a report in which figures for the next 12 months show that between 23 and 40 percent of Iran’s population will soon be living under the absolute  poverty line . This report displays the damage that runaway inflation has caused the Iranian economy over the last couple of years. In fact, the Iranian calendar year, which began March 21st, 2018 and ran through March 20th, 2019, saw the inflation rate reaching 47 percent, and the economy dropping to a negative growth rate.

The declining real income in households during the current year will find more Iranian people having difficulties paying for basic necessities. Iran’s increasing unemployment...

Tehran Admits Strength of Iran’s Democratic Resistance Iran’s ayatollahs can be made to come to terms with the demands of the international community. And this is much more attainable than it might seem. By  Giulio Terzi  On August 5, the spokesperson for the Iranian president’s cabinet, Ali Rabiee, held a briefing with journalists and explicitly mentioned the clerical regime’s longstanding conflict with its domestic enemy, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK). This represents a departure from the government’s normal policy of remaining silent on that issue in order to downplay the threat that the MEK poses to the theocratic system. Established as a movement against the Shah’s regime in the mid-20th century, the MEK was a major force in the Iranian Revolution but immediately broke away from the emerging government after that movement was co-opted by Ayatollah Khomeini. The MEK was then and now remains a leading voice for democratic g...

The main motive of prison guards for this new restriction is to prevent information from going out o...
