\u2018THE DIPLOMAT\u2019 on January 19, 2017, published<\/a> a real story concerning a victim of state-sponsored terrorism who has a different take on the death of one of the Iran regime\u2019s leaders. The following is the full text.<\/p>\n

The minute I heard about the death of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the number two man in the theocracy ruling Iran for decades, I had a flashback to Istanbul, Turkey, on March 14, 1990.<\/p>\n

No, Rafsanjani was not in Turkey on that day. But his henchmen were. And that is when I encountered them directly.<\/p>\n

I am a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the coalition of Iranian opposition movements, with the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, the principal Iranian opposition movement at its core.<\/p>\n

It was mid-afternoon and I was sitting next to the driver taking me to the Istanbul airport. As the driver and I were discussing ways to evade the traffic jam that was caused by an accident, a car carrying four men suddenly blocked our path. And then came a bang. Another car pinned us in from behind.<\/p>\n

Seconds later, two strange men, one from the front car and one from the car behind, jumped out with automatic weapons. As the assailants approached, I had a few seconds to decide how to avoid becoming sitting ducks. I opened the car door and rushed at them carrying only a small Samsonite briefcase. One of the men fired nine bullets; the other man\u2019s gun jammed. I was shot in the chest and stomach and gravely wounded. The assailants fled. I fell unconscious, my battle for survival just begun.<\/p>\n

Luckily, we were close to Istanbul\u2019s International Hospital, to which I was rushed. I was in a deep coma for 40 days, and unconscious for three months. With 80 percent of my liver gone, I was written off by my doctors several times. One bullet hit very close to my heart. I went through 14 operations and was given 154 pints of blood. In one of the operations, the odds for my survival were one to one hundred.<\/p>\n

The assailants were acting at the behest of the clerical regime, the main state sponsor of terrorism. Ironically, as later became evident, the hitmen weren\u2019t after me. The real target was Mohammad Mohaddessin, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the NCRI, as Iranian state radio confirmed a few days later.<\/p>\n

When the regime found out that they have failed, they tried twice to finish me off in the hospital. Once, assassins disguised as Turkish police approached the hospital; by pure coincidence, the Turkish police arrived at the hospital at the same time and foiled the plot. Another time, two men pretended that they were my friends and found my room in the hospital. In reality, they were the mullahs\u2019 men. Once again, I was fortunate; several real friends came to visit me at the same time, and the would-be murderers fled.<\/p>\n

Actually, I am one of very few who has survived the mullahs\u2019 assassination attempts.<\/p>\n

All this took place while Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was the clerical regime\u2019s president.<\/p>\n

It is very relevant and pertinent to know his real legacy. While some in the West have portrayed him as a \u201cmoderate,\u201d \u201cpragmatic\u201d, etc. for the past three decades, in reality he was cut from the same cloth as the rest of the mullahs.<\/p>\n

The assassination of Iranian dissidents abroad and the regime\u2019s terror attacks skyrocketed during Rafsanjani\u2019s tenure as the president and as the head of the Supreme National Security Council, a body that oversees and authorizes the regime\u2019s terrorist operations.<\/p>\n

Professor Kazem Rajavi, Iran\u2019s most renowned human-rights activist, was gunned down in broad daylight by the mullahs\u2019 hitmen while driving near his house in Geneva in 1990. The Swiss implicated 13 Iranian officials with passports stamped \u201cSpecial Mission.\u201d Several Iranian Kurdish leaders were murdered in Vienna in 1989 and in Berlin in 1992. The list goes on. The mullahs\u2019 terror targets were not only Iranians. The FBI established undeniable evidence that Tehran had masterminded the bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, resulting in the deaths of 19 American servicemen. The Jewish center in Argentina was bombed in Buenos Aires on July 18, 1994. Rafsanjani was directly implicated by Interpol.<\/p>\n

Rafsanjani played a key role in the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, primarily activists of the MEK, in summer of 1988, an incident that has been described as one of the worst crimes against humanity since the Second World War.<\/p>\n

Nor was Mr. Rafsanjani\u2019s mischief-making limited to terrorism and murder at home. The secret drive to acquire nuclear weapons got a real boost during his tenure, particularly after the first Persian Gulf War in 1991.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake, Rafsanjani had no impulse toward moderation. But his death was a major development insofar as it pertains to the future of the theocracy ruling Iran. As Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran underscored, with the death of Rafsanjani, \u201cone of the two pillars and key to the equilibrium of the regime has collapsed and the regime in its entirety is approaching overthrow.\u201d Rafsanjani who had always been the regime\u2019s number two, acted as its balancing factor and played a decisive role in its preservation.<\/p>\n

After Rafsanjani\u2019s death, the regime will lose its internal and external equilibrium. In light of other crises Tehran faces, that means the outlook for the regime\u2019s future has become significantly bleaker.<\/p>\n
