Groundbreaking revelations about the Iranian ayatollahs' secret nuclear weapons program are not the only contributions the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the democratic opposition's parliament-in-exile, has made to peace and stability in the world.
Since 2003, the NCRI, relying on the information provided by the personnel of its pivotal member organization, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) — currently in Ashraf City in Iraq — has revealed many dimensions of Tehran's destabilizing campaign in Iraq. Acknowledged by many independent and democratic Iraqi political figures and tribal leaders, as well as U.S. military commanders, these revelations have saved countless Iraqi and American lives and have hugely contributed to putting in place appropriate counter-measures to deal with these threats.

The news media report that Iran will be stoning to death two sisters convicted of adultery. The verdicts against the two sisters, Zohreh Kabiri (27) and Azar Kabiri (28) were confirmed by the 23rd branch of the Supreme Court in Iran. The sisters had already been tried and already received 99 lashes on charges of adultery. Shockingly, this was basically their second trial. In addition, a 49-year old music teacher by the name of Abdullah Farivar in Sari, Northern Iran has also been sentenced to death by stoning within a week of the two sisters.

It is with optimism that I usually regard elections. Win or lose, they are an opportunity for the voice of the people to be heard, but an exception to this will be the Iranian "elections" this March. Elections in Iran are neither free nor fair. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rise to the Presidency in 2005 serves as a striking example. Even by the regime's own pre-poll records, Ahmadinejad was not even close to first place. So how does a previously-unheard-of Revolutionary Guards commander with no proven success in politics and no pre-poll showing get more than 50 percent of the votes in an election widely boycotted by the vast majority of the Iranian population? Simple. He doesn't.

Ordinary Iranian citizens living under poverty line by the mullahs' regime own estimates -- more than 80 percent of the country's population do not make enough to feed their families -- often ask themselves what do our government has to do with Lebanon's reconstruction when we have barely enough to get by. There is an old saying that charity begins at home. However, the roots of the problem are much deeper than it first appears. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is probably the only source that has the real answer to that question.

It turns out that the hasty jubilance of Tehran following the release of the key judgments of the National Intelligence Estimate was just wishful thinking.
Last week, in what the ayatollahs' foreign minister called a "surprise" move, the United States and five other world powers dealing with Iran's nuclear issue agreed on a new UN Security Council sanctions resolution. The new resolution, if adopted, will severely tighten the existing UN sanctions and add new punitive measures targeting Tehran's financial and military institutions.

In the context of the Iranian crisis, the mullahs' president's name, "Ahmadinejad," has become a pseudonym for internal repression, adventurism and export of fundamentalism, all of which are used to cover up the political instability in Iran. In the context of Iran's economy, Ahmadinejad represents disorder, chaos and disastrous policies.
During thirty months of Ahmadinejad's presidency, oil revenues alone have reached at least $150 billion. The figure amounts to more than half of Iran's total oil revenues for the 16 years before his presidency. One might have expected that all this money would rejuvenate domestic production, reduce unemployment (which has hit 6 million people, or one fourth of the working population), and improve education and public health.

Rafsanjani's guidelines for the IRGC to obtain nuclear weapons
In a report to Rafsanjani, mullahs' president in the early 1990s, the IRGC's Research Unit (RU) complained of insufficient cooperation by other countries in supplying the Iranian regime with important technical help it needs in developing nuclear weapons.

Proponents of conciliation maintain that engaging Tehran is the only practical way to counter the nuclear and regional threats posed by the ayatollahs. Why? Because, they say, Iran under the ayatollahs' rule is a "rising regional power," stable at home and hugely influential in Iraq. So the West must tread carefully. Never mind that engaging a religious dictatorship hell-bent on erecting an Islamic fundamentalist empire is nothing short of capitulation and appeasement of the worst kind.
