\"Raisi-1\"<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s president Ebrahim Raisi is scheduled to attend the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow<\/a>, Scotland. Embracing Raisi\u2019s speech would be in direct defiance of the Iranian people\u2019s calls for his prosecution. In fact, there have been several formal requests made to arrest him for his role in the 1988 massacre of political prisoners.<\/p>\n

Raisi and his cabinet are \u201cthe embodiment of four decades of mullahs\u2019 religious dictatorship and terrorism,\u201d as the Iranian opposition leader, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a> has underlined.<\/p>\n

This would be in line with the decades-long careers of all key figures who now make up the Raisi administration. The new Interior Minister, Ahmad Vahidi, was in charge of the IRGC Quds Force<\/a> in the 1990s and thus was intimately involved in some of the highest-profile terrorist acts perpetrated by the Iranian regime and its militant proxies. He has been formally implicated in the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israeli Mutual Association building in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people.<\/p>\n

Raisi\u2019s First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber<\/a> played a lead role in the recent financing of Iran-backed forces in Iraq, as head of an institution known as Execution of Imam Khomeini\u2019s Order, which controls and disseminates resources confiscated from political dissenters and other Iranian civilians. Hossein Amir Abdollahian, the administration\u2019s Foreign Minister, contributed to domestic attacks on such dissenters at a very early stage and took those attacks beyond the borders of Iran via three decades of collaboration with the Quds Force.<\/p>\n

Raisi\u2019s choice to head the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mohammad Eslami<\/a>, has virtually no scientific background that would qualify him for the position. But he does boast a history of support for the regime\u2019s proliferation activities dating back to the very founding of the Iranian nuclear program. In the 1980s, he held meetings with Abdul Qadir Khan, the father of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program, and facilitated the acquisition of components and designs that were instrumental in the creation of Iran\u2019s first uranium enrichment centrifuges.<\/p>\n

These are just a handful of the biographical details pointing to the evil character of the new administration, representing the evil regime in its entirety. However, Raisi stands at the top of this ilk of criminals with his career as the \u201changing judge\u201d and his role as a lifelong advocate for using the most brutal methods to secure and expand that system.<\/p>\n
