Associated Press, The Washington Post and Fox News TV reported:<\/p>\n
\u201cMaryam Rajavi, president-elect of the Iranian Resistance \u2013 a group that seeks the Iran\u2019s regime\u2019s ouster \u2013 welcomed the decision to expand sanctions as \u2018an essential preclude this regime from acquiring nuclear weapons\u2019. She asked the EU to sever all economic and commercial relations with the religious fascism ruling Iran.
An affiliated group, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran said it had learned from people inside country that the Iranian government was using banks\u2019 money-changing operations as well as divisions of the National Iranian Oil Company to get around the sanctions against oil exports.
The Egypt-based al-Yowm al-Sabe wrote:
The Iranian opposition welcomed new EU sanctions against the Iran. Maryam Rajavi welcomed the EU decision to intensify sanctions against Iran. According to a statement released by the Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran based in Paris, Mrs. Rajavi described the EU decision \u2018as an essential step to preclude this regime from acquiring nuclear weapons\u2019.
\u2018Iran\u2019s imports and exports are predominantly controlled by the IRGC, and hence the EU\u2019s economic relations with Iran practically contribute to suppressing people, nuclear projects, and the massacre of Syrian people by the IRGC,\u2019 Mrs. Rajavi said.
Mrs. Rajavi pointed out that obtaining nuclear weapons is part of the religious dictatorship\u2019s strategy for survival, which it will never abandon. Therefore, although comprehensive sanctions are an essential and indispensible element to stop the clerical regime\u2019s nuclear weapons project, the ultimate and definitive solution for the world community to rid itself of the terrorist mullahs\u2019 attempt to acquire nuclear weapons is a regime change by the Iranian people and Resistance. Thus, recognizing the Iranian people\u2019s efforts to overthrow religious fascism and to establish democracy in Iran is more essential than ever.
