This shameful choice, especially in the age of global, borderless information dissemination, is unacceptable. The decision to publish untruth seems intentional and attempts to misinform the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To quote the eminent Polish philosopher Leszek Kolakowski, a major figure of inspiration for the Solidarity movement, \u201cIn Politics, being deceived is no excuse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, even the notion of NBC news being deceived by the Iranian Theocracy is inexcusable. The ramifications of not stating the facts have great potential for causing enormous damage. As recent as October 23rd, the Albanian police informed the media that they had thwarted an attack planned by a Tehran-backed terrorist cell against the MEK opponents of the Iranian regime in Albania last year. \u00a0<br \/>The cell belonged to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/terrorism-fundamentalism\/26792-albania-s-police-chief-reveals-iranian-regime-terror-ring-targeting-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Quds Force<\/a>, an elite unit of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) responsible for foreign operations, police said in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asp.gov.al\/drejtori-i-pergjithshem-i-policise-se-shtetit-ardi-veliu-se-bashku-me-drejtorin-e-drejtorise-se-antiterrorit-gledis-nano-ne-deklarate-per-mediat-per-parandalimin-e-nje-sulmi-terrorist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement.<\/a> Also, last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-fundamentalism\/25663-albania-expels-2-iran-regime-diplomats-for-security-reasons?highlight=WyJ0ZXJyb3Jpc3QiLCIndGVycm9yaXN0JyIsIid0ZXJyb3Jpc3QiLCJ0ZXJyb3Jpc3QnIiwidGVycm9yaXN0J3MiLCJhbGJhbmlhIiwiYWxiYW5pYSdzIl0=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Iran&#8217;s ambassador to Tirana<\/a> and another diplomat were expelled from Albania for threatening the security of the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The revelation by the Albanian police comes to the surface as the same tragic day (October 23, 1983), the 36th anniversary of the Beirut Barracks Bombings. In his statement, Secretary Pompeo remarked that thirty-six years ago two Iranian-backed Hizballah suicide bombers drove trucks into buildings housing the U.S. and French peacekeepers. \u201cWe grieve for those 220 U.S Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers murdered that day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is for this and other numerous acts of worldwide terrorism that Iran has since 1984 been designated as the State Sponsor of Terrorism by the US State Department.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his seminal book \u201cOn Tyranny\u201d, distinguished historian Timothy Snyder writes that \u2018history does not repeat, but it does instruct\u2026history can familiarize, and it can warn\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now more than ever, it is imperative for information outlets such as NBC news to familiarize the public about Iran\u2019s history of brutal suppression and its worldwide terrorist network. To warn the officials and policymakers about the consequences of appeasing the tyrannical rulers in Iran. To warn about the global threat of a nuclear-powered tyrant\u00a0in Iran. To warn about Iran&#8217;s\u00a0meddling in Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and its role as the source of war and instability in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is time for the NBC news to be on the right side of history. To tell the story of people\u2019s uprising in Iran and their demands for regime change. The story of their organized resistance represented by the Parliament in Exile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/our-resistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>. The story of brave women who live and die to attain freedom and who make up the majority of the resistance and its leadership, notably President-elect of the NCRI, Mrs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/maryam-rajavi\/14237-maryam-rajavi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is time for the NBC news to inform rather misinform.
