The Washington Times wrote<\/a> on July 25, 2019.<\/p>\n“On one of the sun-kissed peaks, some 2,500 members of the principal opposition Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) have built a city called Ashraf 3. Constructed with lightning speed in a little over a year, the town is brimming with pride, radiating with hope, and founded on iron-clad confidence,” it wrote.<\/p>\n
“At the entrance of the sprawling community, Iranian flags with the nationalist emblem of \u201cLion and the Sun\u201d refuse to stand still. They inspire the dozens of neighboring flags honoring other countries to dance in unison, embracing the inevitable winds of change,” the report said.<\/p>\n
The Washington Times added:<\/p>\n
The first dazzling monument on the main road into Ashraf 3 is the arch of triumph, a replica of the revered entrance to Iran\u2019s historic National Assembly, inaugurated after the 1906 Constitutional Revolution. Complete with the phrase \u201cVictory Is Ours,\u201d it links the people\u2019s democratic achievements of the past with future triumphs that are deemed certain.<\/p>\n
Next stop is an astonishing monument to martyrs, bearing witness to the ultimate sacrifice that 120,000 slain heroes and heroines have made to achieve democracy in Iran. The Wall of Remembrance overlooks a sparkling fountain feature at the center of which is a burning flame that attempts to rise to a screen filled with stars, symbolizing the radiating spirit of the fallen heroes. Another square close by boasts a large and graceful tulips monument, symbolizing love and dignity.<\/p>\n
All the while, neatly paved roads wrapped by trees and exquisite landscaping and water features guide the traveler to the next destination: a giant exhibition hall held up by elaborate Roman-style columns, with huge paintings on its side of heroic Iranian freedom fighters from Sattar Khan to Dr. Mossadeq to Massoud Rajavi, the current leader of the Iranian Resistance, a lineage that will, to the passionate MEK activists, guarantee the achievement of freedom in their battered homeland.<\/p>\n
Dozens of other buildings hosting living quarters, beautifully designed shops, recreational facilities, libraries, commercial kitchens, bakeries, pharmacies, and hospitals complete the city.<\/p>\n
Aside from its remarkable design, landscaping and architecture, Ashraf 3 has given meaning to an otherwise arid land. Its birth, as the capital of hope, symbolizes the new beginning of a new, free and civilized Iran that can be rebuilt and re-energized at the capable hands of the Iranian people themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
