Friday, 18 April 2008
By: Brian Binley, Member of Parliament from the British Conservative Party Source: Middle East Times Bastion of Freedom – Barren Land Brings Peace "The British government has sent our sons to Iraq and Afghanistan to defend our democratic values and extend them to those who are lacking them. At the same time some of our companies are providing petrodollars to the Iranian regime which are used in turn to provide the bombs and ammunition to kill them." This is a quote from an Iranian exile, now a British citizen.

Ayatollahs' quest for nuclear weapons

Friday, 04 April 2008
By Alireza Jafarzadeh Source: FoxNews For the past seven years, the war on terrorism has been the focal point of U.S. foreign policy. Questions on how that policy should or could have been pursued arouse strident debate, but there is no disagreement about the urgency of the threat. Nor is there any dispute that the worst-case scenario would be a nuclear-armed state-sponsor of terrorism. So it is no surprise that there has been no let up in the international scrutiny of the Iranian regime, a documented state-sponsor of terror that candidly declares “nuclear capability is our undeniable right.” Of late, however, there have been questions about what the ayatollahs are doing, and when they are doing it.

Why is the UK appeasing Iran?

Thursday, 03 April 2008
By Melanie Phillips Source: Spectator.co.uk Yesterday evening I joined members of the Iranian resistance and their parliamentary supporters at a House of Commons reception to celebrate the Iranian new year. These dissidents are anxiously awaiting the imminent decision by the Court of Appeal on whether the Home Secretary can appeal against the ruling by the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission (POAC) that the proscription of the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK) — a ban it described as ‘perverse’ — must be lifted.

Tuesday, 01 April 2008
By DAVID AMESS, a Conservative member of Parliament in the United Kingdom LONDON, April 1 (UPI) -- As parliamentary elections in Iran confirm a vast majority for the hard-liners in Iran, jostling seems to have already gained pace for Iran's presidential elections in 2009. However, pressure on President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has grown more forceful from within his own camp rather than the so-called reformists whose campaign was crushed by the vast disqualification of their candidates in the March 14 parliamentary polls.

By Lord Corbett LONDON, Feb. 29 (UPI) -- Feb. 11 marked the 29th anniversary of the founding of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Yet, as nations across the world have made huge technological and scientific advancements over the past three decades, Tehran's rulers have taken the people of ancient Persia back to the closest thing to the Middle Ages.

Iran's meddling in Iraq

Sunday, 30 March 2008
By: Lord David Charles Waddington, former UK home secretary Source: The Washigton Times As four more rockets thumped into buildings in the Baghdad Green Zone on Tuesday, it became devastatingly clear that promises made by Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his trip to Iraq in early March were worthless. According to reports, two of the rockets landed in Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki's compound but mercifully there were no deaths or serious injuries.

The make up of Iran’s new parliament following the March 14 elections, though still a work in progress, has already solidified the rule of the most belligerent, suppressive faction. The new Majlis can best be described as a den of henchmen and torturers.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamene'i described the new parliament as "committed, opposed to Western arrogance, and powerful.” A day later, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described the vote as "safeguarding the right to acquire nuclear energy with exemplary prowess."
