MP Protested Parliament’s Futile Role While Warning of Public’s Discontent<\/h3>\n

\"Mohammad<\/p>\n

During the public parliamentary session today, one of the regime’s representatives protested that Ebrahim Raisi’s administration is keeping the parliament in the dark on the nuclear talks while warning of public discontent.<\/p>\n

Mohammadreza Sabbaghian Bafghi said<\/a>: “I wanted to warn the board, but I think it is useless. At least, let the representatives be warned. The JCPOA negotiations have been going on for months but unfortunately, the parliament is not being kept in the loop, not even in the slightest hints. People are asking questions but we have no answers. Most of the representatives today do not have more information than a citizen! It is the right of the representatives to know where the negotiations are heading and where they will end. Why do you leave the parliament in the dark?”<\/p>\n

He added: “Gentlemen of the board! How is this parliament functioning? We are not aware of the Chinese contract. Who in the parliament has any clue about what the Chinese contract is all about? What ingredients does it have? What do they want to do? Today, which of you know about the JCPOA negotiations and what they are doing? What compromises do they want to make and what concessions do they want to get? This is not a parliament! We are not MPs! But the people do hold us to account. People ask questions. We are the ones who have to cope with their bad and misguided behavior.”<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Nuclear Weapons Drive Continues 20 Years After NCRI’s Historic Revelations<\/h3>\n

\"Alireza-Jafarzadeh\"Twenty years ago, the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) unveiled the Iranian regime\u2019s clandestine nuclear weapons program through\u00a0revelations<\/a> of two secret nuclear sites at Natanz and Arak in central Iran. Only afterward did the world begin to realize the depth of Tehran\u2019s lies about its claimed peaceful nuclear program, and to this day the debate continues. Unfortunately, despite the NCRI\u2019s decades-long revelations about the mullahs\u2019 pursuit of nuclear weapons, the West\u2019s appeasement policy has allowed Tehran to advance its nuclear weapons program without accountability.<\/p>\n

Executions and suppression of women mark Raisi\u2019s one year in office.\u00a0August 3 marked the first anniversary of Ebrahim Raisi taking office in Iran after a rigged election engineered by the mullahs\u2019 supreme leader.<\/p>\n

Retirees\u2019 Protests Target Iran Regime\u2019s Leader<\/h3>\n

\"Irans-pensioners\"<\/p>\n

In their latest protest, Iranian pensioners chanted a slogan reflecting the regime\u2019s real situation, stating, \u201cAll three branches are maquettes \u2013 and the leader is silent.\u201d<\/p>\n

This slogan shows the uselessness of the regime\u2019s branches, which are following the orders of the regime\u2019s supreme leader Ali Khamenei. The importance of this slogan has been brought to light after the poverty-stricken pensioners of six cities decided to start a new round of protests as they fight for the wages that they owed. At the same time, the regime\u2019s media fraudulently reported that the parliament has decided and approved to increase their wages up to 38 percent.<\/p>\n
