Iran regime launches military satellite as people grapple with financial problems<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iran regime launches military satellite – April 2020The Iranian regime\u2019s terrorist Revolutionary Guards\u00a0<\/a><\/span>(<\/span>IRGC) claimed<\/span>\u00a0on Wednesday<\/span>\u00a0it ha<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0sent\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>regime\u2019s first military satellite into orbit. This happen<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0while\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>mullahs and their apol<\/span>ogists\u00a0<\/span>complain\u00a0<\/span>about in<\/span>ternational sanctions and lack of funds to help people amid coronavirus\u00a0<\/a><\/span>outbreak<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on\u00a0<\/span>Thursday,<\/span>\u00a0Mike Pompeo, the United States Secretary of State, during a press briefing<\/a><\/span>, while referring to the IRGC\u2019s terrorist activities,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>said:\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>The IRGC<\/a>, a designated terrorist organization, launched a missile today. And\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019ll<\/span>\u00a0leave to the Department of Defense to talk about the details about that. But when you talk about the UN Security Council Resolution 2231, I think every nation has an obligation to go to the United Nations and evaluate whether this missile launch was consistent with that Security Council resolution. I\u00a0<\/span>don\u2019t<\/span> think it remotely is, and I need \u2013 I think Iran needs to be held accountable for what they\u2019ve done. They\u2019ve now had a military organization that the United States has designated terrorists to attempt to launch a satellite.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I hope that the Iranian regime will respond to the Iranian people\u2019s demands to prioritize resources, resources that the Iranian regime clearly has, to the health and security and safety of the Iranian people, rather than continuing their global terror campaign. You can see\u00a0<\/span>they\u2019re<\/span> still hard at it. You can see they still have resources. You should note, we, the \u2013 at the very first news that the COVID-19 virus had hit Iran, offered humanitarian assistance to the people of Iran. That offer was rejected. That offer still stands.\u00a0<\/span>We\u2019ve<\/span>\u00a0assisted other countries in delivering humanitarian assistance to the Iranian people. I only wish that the Iranian regime cared about its people as much as the rest of the world has demonstrated that it does<\/span>,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he regime\u2019s claims of having successfully sent this new satellite into orbit is highly doubted since th<\/span>e\u00a0<\/span>regime has made these bogus claims in recent months and years and has wasted billions of dollars of the national wealth yet has failed repeatedly.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides,\u00a0<\/span>launching a satellite while the Iranian people are grappling with the coronavirus once again proves this regime\u00a0<\/span>does not<\/span> care about the Iranian people and their well-being.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq<\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0or MEK)<\/span>, the coronavirus has claimed\u00a0<\/span>nearly\u00a0<\/span>34,000 lives until now due to the regime\u2019s cover-up and inaction.<\/span>\u00a0Yet, the Iranian regime\u2019s supreme leader Ali Khamenei and its president Hassan Rouhani forced people back to work, citing\u00a0<\/span>Iran\u2019s damaged economic cycle and blaming these economic hardships on U.S. sanctions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this regard, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a><\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0ha<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0said:\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>For Khamenei and Rouhani, the lives and well-being of the people are worthless. They only want to protect their regime from the threat of uprising. The criminal decision to send people to work is a crime against humanity and will cause a countless number of victims<\/span>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
