These protests took place despite the regime\u2019s extensive security measures and internet restrictions. These rallies are continuing the Iranian people\u2019s uprising against the mullahs\u2019 tyranny as people from all walks of life take to streets across the country to voice their opposition to the regime.\u00a0Local reports indicated that the regime shut down internet access in Zahedan as the Friday prayers began, which has become the prelude to the weekly protests of the people. The reports were later confirmed by NetBlocks, an organization that tracks internet connectivity across the globe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/protests-resume-in-zahedan-despite-security-measures-internet-restrictions\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why Won\u2019t James Cleverly Stand Up to Iran?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-309399 size-medium\" title=\"The Spectator logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Spectator-logo-300x152.jpg\" alt=\"The Spectator logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Spectator-logo-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Spectator-logo-150x76.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/The-Spectator-logo.jpg 319w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Foreign Office is making a big mistake in failing to designate Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a terrorist group. The 100,000 strong organisation, the most powerful wing of Iran\u2019s security apparatus, was established after the 1979 Islamic revolution. For decades it has been at the heart of Iranian support for global terrorism on foreign soil, including the UK and Europe. It also arms and supports militant groups across the Middle East.\u00a0By any rational measure the group meets all the criteria for a ban under the 2000 Terrorism Act. Yet the Foreign Office continues to avoid the necessary step of proscribing the revolutionary guards, despite fresh evidence from MI5 of its growing menace. Since the start of 2022, the UK has responded to more than 15 credible threats to kill or kidnap British or UK-based individuals by the Iranian regime. Tehran has publicly called for the killing and capture of the people targeted and, in some cases, detained or harassed their family members in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/article\/why-wont-cleverly-stand-up-to-irans-islamic-revolutionary-guards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">CBN Warns Banks Over Russia, Iran, Cameroon Transactions<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-309398 size-full\" title=\"vanguard website nigeria logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanguard-website-nigeria-logo.jpg\" alt=\"vanguard website nigeria logo\" width=\"290\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanguard-website-nigeria-logo.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/vanguard-website-nigeria-logo-150x60.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has warned Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and Other Financial Institutions (OFIs) in the country to be wary of transactions with businesses and persons in the Russian Federation, the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea, Iran and Cameroun.\u00a0According to CBN, Nigerian banks and other financial institutions needed to watch transactions with those countries because they had been placed under the high-risk jurisdictions list by the Financial Action Task Force (FASTF).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The FATF is the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog.
