Ken Blackwell: Iran's Rouhani falsely depicted as a moderate

Washington, 24 Sep - Iran's President Hassan Rouhani tries to falsely depict himself as a "moderate" or a "reformer" worthy of the trust and engagement of the international community, first and foremost the US, and this charade has only been emboldened by the nuclear deal with which the Obama administration handed a range of unwarranted concessions to Tehran and failed to accomplish its goal of cutting off Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon ", wrote Ken Blackwell, former US ambassador to the UN human rights commission, in an op- ed in Town Hall.

Next Monday, on September 28 Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly. That podium has hosted many bad characters who have used it to advocate their sinister policies.

Perviz Khazai: Iran regime major cause of regional instability

The mullahs’ regime in Iran is not a reliable partner for peace in the Middle East; rather it is a major part of the problem, Mr. Perviz Khazai, a former Iranian ambassador and the representative in Scandinavia of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has said.

Iran: Criminal attacking woman with acid, is released on bail

SimaAfshar, 25, became victim of an acid attack in the Central Park of Dehdasht, in Kohgiluyeh (western Iran) on September 21, 2015.

Due to severity of injuries, she was taken to the special burns hospital in Ahwaz, but shortage of facilities and lack of proper care compelled Sima's brother to take her to Tehran for better treatment and surgery.

The woman who had splashed acid on Sima was released on bail, shortly afterwards, a measure that has outraged Sima's family. Her sister said in protest, "If law does not deal with this incident, such behavior will become institutionalized and the message to people is this: nothing can be done to counter acid attacks."

It should be noted that none of the criminals who previously carried out acid attacks on women have been arrested and punished so far. This time, the attacker is released, despite being identified and arrested. Apparently, the law enforcement authorities in Iran have not received instructions to punish these dangerous criminals who carry out one of the worst forms of violence against women.

Leaked classified bin Laden documents reveal Iran & al-Qaeda relations

Iranian regime link with al-Qaida

Therehave been many reports about relations between Iran and the al-Qaeda senior leadership, especially on exchanging prisoners. However, it appears that new leaked documents are proving this with facts, Al Arabiya.net reported.

Documents obtained by the US following the 2011 assassination of bin Laden in Pakistan show al-Qaeda elements being very active in Iran.

Al-Qaeda in 2006 was seeking to open an office in Tehran, yet the skyrocketing price of opening such an office at that time prevented such a step, according to these documents.

Relations between Iran and al-Qaeda go back to the 1990s when this group was stationed in Sudan, since Tehran and Khartoum enjoyed warm relations at the time.

Iran - 2000 executions carried out in Iran under Rouhani

Mr. Peter Mathews

Irish lawmaker: Iran's 'despotic' regime must be held accountable

The mullahs' regime in Iran continues to execute more of its citizens per capita than any other UN member state. Some 2000 people have been executed under Rouhani in the past two years.

Iran is a wonderful country. It has been at the bedrock foundation of the civilization of the human family in the Indo-European context. Some 75 million people live there, roughly half and half men and women, but the country is in the iron grip of a despotic regime that is iron fisted in its narrow fundamentalism by any measure, and it is choking the breath of the people of Iran . Is not it a shame to think that in Canada alone 30,000 doctors work there having qualified in Iran. Something is wrong when the conduct of a country run by a fundamentalist regime masquerading under parliamentary democracy under the leadership of state of President Rouhani who just does what he is told. It is up to us in the various countries from which we come to talk in plain talk in plain images of the suppression of such a wonderfully large people. The other speakers have told us about the summary executions. The presumption of guilt rather than innocence and proper distributions of justice. And the microcosmic expression of that pan-suppression of that people is seen in Camp Liberty [in Iraq, which houses thousands of members of the Iranian opposition PMOI, or MEK.

The 10-point plan presented by Iranian opposition leader Mrs. Maryam Rajavi for a future free Iran should be supported by the international community of nations in order to ensure global peacel.

We have also to find those political references to discuss with and to support, and I think that in regard to Iran I think that only the PMOI and the Iranian resistance could be the reference. And this is the reason why we have to try to convince our governments, our parliaments to discuss with them and recognize them as a political reference. Because we know what is the program of MaryamRajavi, we know the ten points of her program, and this is what not only Iran but what the International Community need for a peaceful world and a peaceful Middle East.

We crossed the street Badger

Screamed the old carpet buying

Second hand buying great sex

Bowl and dish buying

May Day is not the bread on the table

But thank God for this life?

The smell of fresh bread had intelligence

In fact, my mother was too fast

My sister ran out without headscarves

Said Sir way empty Buy?

... Lake hope of our hearts garments to close

Mykshanymsh down little time left
