Exactly on the seventh of Dey 1404, a new wave of nationwide strikes and protests began against the regime of the Islamic caliphate of Velayat-e Faqih, or the religious dictatorship of the Shi’ite mullahs in Iran. People trapped in poverty, inflation, and religious despotism rose up across Iran against the republic of evil and wickedness.
Following the call of the crown prince, Reza Pahlavi, in more than 300 cities and villages across the country’s 31 provinces, millions of people poured into the streets. The credibility, influence, and acceptance of the prince showed that he is the only alternative leader accepted by the Iranian nation.
The unified protests, the centralized leadership of this “Lion and Sun” revolution, and the anti-government slogans terrified the ruling establishment. And from that very first moment, the entire world realized what a profound distance and deep chasm exists between the nation and the ruling establishment in Iran.
It is a corrupt establishment, run by a criminal and Islamist terrorist cult. Through lies, deception, and shamelessness, it claims that it is sent by God and is sacred and spiritual.
From the very first moment, worse than Genghis Khan, Iran’s former dictator Ali Khamenei ordered the killing, and his accomplices in this crime – Ejei, Pezeshkian, Vahidi, Rezaei, Ghalibaf, Larijani, Radan, and others – engaged in the massacre and genocide of Iranians.
The largest street massacre in the history of Iran and the world took place, and the rogue regime killed more than 50,000 people. Trump warned them, but the Islamist executioners cut off the Internet, electricity, and telephone services and began killing people like savage beasts.
It is an establishment that does not understand peaceful transition, voting, civil society, peace, or dialogue. The only language it knows is bullets and terror. And it calls every protester a mercenary of Israel and America.
The Islamist terrorist said that the victim was the terrorist, held up a photograph of the supreme leader of the world’s Islamist terrorists, and said that he was innocent. He used the Minab school as a pretext, while it was an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military base.
Even now, in Iran’s schools, the terrorist forces of Fatemiyoun, Zainabiyoun, and Hashd al-Shaabi conduct military exercises. But not a word about the regime’s torture, terror, and killing openly in the streets of Iran against defenseless and unarmed demonstrators.
His lies were broadcast from the podium of the United Nations. He did not mention the genocidal massacre.
Pezeshkian spoke about infrastructure, but in reality the main infrastructure is those innocent young Iranians themselves. He referred to Ismail Haniyeh, Gaza, and Palestinian terrorists, but did not mention the political prisoners under torture in Iran or the people whom the government blinded.
No one asked: Did the Mossad or Israeli agents execute anyone? Israel did not blind the eyes of the Iranian people with shotguns! Israel and the Mossad did not send terrorist teams to the United States to assassinate opponents of the regime or establish terrorist sleeper cells! Israel and the Mossad did not display such savagery as to deliver the coup de grâce to the wounded in hospitals!
Projection, fabrication, and lying are inherent in the nature and conduct of the Islamic Republic. He delivered his remarks from a text that had been written in Tehran and, like an uncultured, vulgar street thug, spoke from an international podium about his own delusional and savage ideology. There was not a trace of human emotion or feeling in his words.
He referred to the “Islam Party” and the regime’s propaganda horn in the streets, but did not refer to the blood spilled in those same streets in the deadliest crime against humanity.
The “Islam Party” is the presence of pro-government thugs, hoodlums, and street prostitutes who, in an obscene and distasteful manner, stage a street carnival for propaganda among the traditional and religious segment supporting the establishment because of financial benefit, something that absolutely and in no way corresponds with the dominant thinking of the Iranian nation.
Pezeshkian, the symbol of the notorious reformist mafia – the Islamic Left – and a figure lacking political intelligence and moral understanding and comprehension, hid behind the name of the Iranian nation, but this is a regime that has nothing to do with the Iranian nation or with being Iranian.
Post-1979 Islamist Iran
Since 1979, Islamist terrorism, supported by the Islamic Republic, has brought disgrace on the name of Iran and on Iran’s culture, history, and civilization.
And if this savage regime had possessed an atomic bomb, it would have fired it at the entire world again and again.
The regime’s thugs and hoodlums, whose hands are stained with blood, were sitting in the United Nations.
The regime that is against security, peace, stability, tranquility, and humanity proceeded to lecture US President Donald Trump and taunt him. This itself indicates the absence of an agreement with Trump.
The ignorant and vindictive president could not even read his Persian text without mistakes. He did not even know how to pronounce words such as “shoom” [ominous], “palid” [vile], “tragedy,” and “justice.”
Pezeshkian, with a voice mixed with shrieking and an ugly sound, shouted the ruling establishment’s sinister propaganda against Israel, and no one asked whether he was the president of Gaza and Palestine, and why he does not speak about the suffering, misery, and wretchedness of the Iranian people.
He hid behind the name of “resistance” and, of course, made no mention of what the terrorist activities of Hamas, Hezbollah, Hashd al-Shaabi, the Houthis, Islamic Jihad, and others should be called.
Is the name for this savage regime’s open relationship with al-Qaeda and its cooperation in terrorist acts, from 1990 onward through September 11, and today its organic relationship with ISIS as well, “resistance”?
Pezeshkian – openly, with a self-righteous expression, commotion, and an attempt to escape the truth by going on the offensive – called terrorism an instrument of power. He threatened to keep spreading insecurity if the intention to pursue regime change becomes serious. And his implicit reference to power means building an atomic bomb and nuclear weapons.
In reality, in the empty hall of the United Nations, a Shi’ite Islamist terrorist threatened the world.
Negotiating with the most dangerous and savage establishment supporting Islamist terrorism in the world is a brand of shame, a stain of disgrace, and infamy on the forehead of any official who reaches an agreement with this notorious, isolated, and rogue regime. Cooperation with this anti-peace and anti-security regime is the grotesque of the 21st century.
At the end, he criticized Trump and called him a bully. His text was filled with bluster, helplessness, and lamentation.
The hollow and stale ideas and the delusional and dead-end ideology of the mullahs’ regime have no buyers in today’s world, or even among the Iranian nation itself. Gradually, the world must prepare for the end of this stain of shame in the international arena.
Now is the time for the White House to put aside this vicious and futile cycle of dialogue and diplomacy and not allow itself to be humiliated any further by a rogue regime.
If there is a serious and genuine will, the groundwork for regime change should be prepared with the help of Israel. And dialogue should take place with the sole alternative of the Iranian nation, Pahlavi.
Gradually, the CIA and Mossad should also begin preparing the groundwork for once again rebuilding the security organization, so that after the collapse, the fabric of the country of Iran does not fall apart and the transitional period begins without bloodshed and a bloodbath.
The sinister reformist gang, on the one hand, has called notorious figures back to Iran and, on the other hand, has released political prisoners affiliated with the Rafsanjani, Khatami, Karroubi, Hashemi, and other gangs, in order to display another face of the regime.
But the reality is the demand of the Iranian nation, which the White House did not hear or raise in the negotiations.
