Who is Ghalibaf? What is his background? And why the Iranian regime appointed him as the Parliament Speaker? Let\u2019s get through these questions\u2026 1980 As a member of Khomeini\u2019s paramilitary group, 19-year-old Ghalibaf played a key role in attacks by the regime\u2019s club-wielding and oppressing opposition groups, especially the PMOI\/MEK. He was dispatched to Kurdistan to oppress the Kurdish people 1981 Ghalibaf joined IRGC and took part in Iran-Iraq war 1983 Qalibaf promoted to commander of Nasr Division during the war and dispatched thousands of children to minefields. 1988 Ghalibaf commanded the 3rd region of the IRGC 1989 Ghalibaf was assigned as commander of the IRGC 25th Karbala Division Shortly thereafter, he was appointed as the IRGC Ground Forces Chief of Staff. 1994 Ghalibaf was appointed commander of the IRGC\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya Garrison, one of the regime\u2019s largest economic pillars. 1997 Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei appointed Ghalibaf as the IRGC Air Force Commander. He then expanded the IRGC\u2019s missile units from 3 to 5 brigades. 1999 In July 1999, despite being IRGC\u2019s Air Force commander, he personally took part in the suppression of the students\u2019 protests. His audio file reveals his vicious nature. 2000 Ghalibaf was appointed as commander of the State Security Force (SSF). In September, he implemented a harassing plan named \u201cmoral security\u201d mostly targeting women\u2019s freedom in dressing 2005 Ghalibaf became Tehran\u2019s mayor. He implemented a suppressive gender segregation plan in Tehran\u2019s municipalities. As Tehran\u2019s mayor, Ghalibaf was accused of stealing and plundering the city\u2019s resources of Tehran\u2019s municipality. On July 12, 2017, the state-run Iran daily quoted the General Inspection Office that Tehran Municipality Under Ghalibaf has been accused of bribery, embezzlement, fraud, and misusing public property amounting to over &#36;6.8 bn. (22 trillion tomans) This is just a part of the corruption made by Ghalibaf. On August 20, 2019, state-run media exposed a dozen more facts on corruption. On February 21, 2020, Ghalibaf ran for the sham parliamentary election. Ghalibaf received only 14% of the vote cast by eligible voters despite astronomical rigging. Those making it to the Parliament are a band of IRGC commanders and criminals. The IRGC-dominated Parliament is the flipside of, and indispensable to, a Hezbollahi Government, for which Khamenei had called on May 17. Terrified of an uprising, Khamenei had long planned to purge the candidates from the rival factions and hold a sham and engineered election for such a parliament and government to be formed. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), described IRGC Brig. Gen. Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the regime\u2019s new Parliament Speaker, as the murderer of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI\/MEK) members, and an accomplice to Ebrahim Raisi, the regime\u2019s Judiciary Chief. Qalibaf is among primary officials involved in suppression and warmongering and engaged in theft and plunder within the clerical regime. Appointing him as the Head of the Legislature by Khamenei is a new step towards further contraction of the ruling system in the final phase of this regime.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe increase in the price of many people\u2019s necessities, such as poultry and red meat, has no basis,\u201d another MP,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Esmail<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0Hossain-<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Zehi<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0acknowledged, while trying to blame the rival faction.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cHow can the price of chicken, as the last and cheapest source of protein, increase by 50% overnight?
