NCRI – A meeting initiated by members of the U.S. House of Representatives, Bob Filner (D-CA), Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Bobby Rush (D-IL), Tom Tancredo (R-CO) and Ed Towns (D-NY), was held on the second day of a three-day symposium on Iran and Iraq at the U.S. Congress starting on November 14.<\/p>\n
The purpose of the meeting was to examine the terrible consequences of the Iranian regime’s meddling in Iraq and to discuss ways to support the Iranian Resistance and the People’s Mojahedin based in Ashraf City, Iraq, as the main impediment to the expansion of fundamentalism in this country.<\/p>\n
In her message, Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, called on Congress to take the initiative for a firm policy towards Tehran’s regime and to expel it from Iraq. <\/p>\n
Dr. Saleh Mutlaq, Chairman of the Iraqi National Dialogue Front, addressed the meeting via telephone connection from Iraq, denouncing the mullahs’ efforts to prevent the establishment of a democratic and independent government in Iraq. He also declared his support for the People’s Mojahedin and paid tribute to their activities.<\/p>\n
Among participants were Nick Lampson (D-TX); Ted Poe (R-TX), member of the International Relations Committee; Michael McCaul (R-TX), member of the International Relations Committee; and Al Green (D-TX).<\/p>\n
Dick Armey, former republican House Majority Leader and chairman of the think-tank FreedomWorks, introduced his 250-page report about Iran, the foreign policy challenges, the solutions and the democratic opposition, in which he compiled the views of American political and legal experts.<\/p>\n
This report aims at defining the best and most effective political solution to the Iranian crisis. It was provided to the U.S. government, the House of Representatives, the Senate, research institutes, British parliamentarians and members of the European Parliament.<\/p>\n
Its introduction underlines, as many in the United States and in the world believe, that a regime change in Iran is feasible by supporting the democratic organizations of this country, notably the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI).<\/p>\n
In conclusion, based on a detailed research, the report urges the removal of the PMOI and the National Council of Resistance of Iran from the US State Department’s terrorism list in order to make a democratic change in Iran possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
