Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran said that Khamenei took steps to consolidate the regime and maximize repression by purging presidential candidates who had participated in all of the regime\u2019s crimes over the past 40 years. This is a clear sign of the regime\u2019s crisis of overthrow and the final phase of the religious, terrorist dictatorship. NCRI Reveals New Detail of Iran&#039;s Regime Nuclear Program On Tuesday, the National Council of Resistance of Iran published new report regarding the Iranian regime&#039;s secret nuclear weapons program. According to the newly announced details in the NCRI&#039;s report, &quot;the clerical regime is covertly continuing its nuclear weapons drive, and that even the JCPOA has been unable to halt the regime\u2019s military nuclear weapons projects, and that the regime has maintained, continued and furthered its military nuclear apparatus and activities in violation of the JCPOA.&quot; Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll Exceeds 298,100 Over 298,100 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 543 cities checkered across all of Iran\u2019s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Tuesday. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 79,056, around a fourth of the actual figure. \u201cEight cities in the country\u2019s south and southeast areas are registered as red zones and we are concerned about this because a decreasing trend has not been seen in these areas. Furthermore, it is possible that the Indian and African variants have entered the country from the south and southeast provinces,\u201d said Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi on Tuesday, according to the regime&#039;s official IRNA news agency.
