Austin said, &#8220;As we are working to stabilize the region, Iran is raising tensions. And after attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria, our forces repeatedly struck facilities in Iraq and eastern Syria used by Iran\u2019s IRGC and by militias affiliated with Iran. We will not tolerate attacks on American personnel. And so these attacks must stop. And until they do, we will do what we need to do to protect our troops\u2014and to impose costs on those who attack them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">General Austin added, &#8220;As we rally the world to defend Ukraine, Putin has been forced to scrounge for support from the likes of Iran and North Korea. You know, it was chilling to see a delegation from Hamas openly visit Moscow to meet with senior Russian officials just weeks after the October 7th massacre. And so it\u2019s no surprise that Iran is fueling conflict in both Gaza and Ukraine by giving arms to Hamas and drones to Putin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 6:30 PM CET<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Insider Warns If Regime Fails in Regional Warfare, It Will Face Armed Uprising at Home<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-313992 alignleft\" title=\"hassan rahimpour azghadi (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/hassan-rahimpour-azghadi-1.jpg\" alt=\"hassan rahimpour azghadi (1)\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/hassan-rahimpour-azghadi-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/hassan-rahimpour-azghadi-1-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi, a member of the Iranian regime&#8217;s Supreme Cultural Revolution Council, acknowledged the reasons behind Tehran&#8217;s regional warmongering to prevent the uprisings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking on state TV on December 1, he stated, &#8220;If we fail to address regional issues adequately, a form of terrorism far more severe than the early days of our revolution will emerge, leading to internal militarization throughout Iran. It&#8217;s important to note that not all these forces are foreign; they take advantage of the problems in various regions as opportunities. Disputes, fueled by nationalism, religion, and socio-economic disparities, become active during such times. It&#8217;s noteworthy that weapons, once irrelevant to ordinary citizens, are now being abundantly distributed. Neither the people in Iraq nor the Yemenis were armed from the beginning. Traditionally, there was no need for people to be armed in Syria. When the conditions are set, within six months, millions of weapons will flood into the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;\">UPDATE: 9:30 AM CET<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Regime Is Ramping up Executions To Avoid Its Inevitable Downfall<\/h3>\n<div class=\"td_block_wrap tdb_title tdi_52 tdb-single-title td-pb-border-top td_block_template_14\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_52\">\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Alarming surge of political executions in Iran\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_19CA7yxJFUM\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F19CA7yxJFUM%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/19CA7yxJFUM\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M49S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-11-29T20:53:08Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_19CA7yxJFUM\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F19CA7yxJFUM%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Alarming surge of political executions in Iran<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/19CA7yxJFUM\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F19CA7yxJFUM%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Alarming surge of political executions in Iran\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Under the fog of the war in Gaza, the regime of Iran has been engaged in a widespread campaign of suppression at home. The regime has carried out more than 100 death sentences in the past month and is taking advantage of the situation to execute dissidents lingering in Iran\u2019s prisons. On November 27, reports from inside Iran indicated that the regime secretly executed political prisoner Ali Saber Motlaq in Lakan Prison in Rasht. Saber Motlaq, 62, was a supporter of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. He had previously been imprisoned in the 1980s because of his support for PMOI. He was arrested again in 2020 and charged with killing a regime official in 1981, an accusation he never accepted. On November 23, the regime executed Milad Zohrevand, 21, one of the protesters arrested during Iran\u2019s nationwide uprising that began in September 2022. Zohrevand, was injured and arrested by security forces on October 27. After severely torturing Zohrevand, the regime\u2019s criminal judiciary sentenced him to death on charges of killing a member of the Revolutionary Guards named Ali Nazari. Also in November, the regime executed three Baluch prisoners in Zahedan Central prison. Mohammad Karim Bazkazayi, Mohammad Barahoui, and Edris Bilrani were executed for being associated with a dissident group. They were arrested in August 2020 and were extremely tortured in the prisons of the IRGC. They were sentenced to death in January 2022. On November 8, the regime executed political prisoner Meisam Chandani (Dehghani), 34, in Zahedan Central Prison. Meisam was arrested in September 2011, at the age of 22. In a sham trial, he was accused of participating in the killing of three repressive agents and sentenced to death on false charges of \u201cacting against national security\u201d and \u201cwaging war against God through armed action.\u201d He was hanged after 12 years of incarceration and torture. Several other political prisoners are under the threat of being executed. The Iranian Resistance has called on the United Nations, Amnesty International and other human rights organizations to intervene to stop the Iranian regime\u2019s executions and to save the lives of prisoners, especially political prisoners. Silence and inaction in the face of the world\u2019s leading executioner, torturer, terrorist, and warmonger, encourages this regime to continue and intensify its crimes against humanity. *** Content on the PMOI\/MEK&#039;s official YouTube channel is not subject to copyright if the source is mentioned ***\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throughout its history, the mullahs\u2019 regime has maintained its power through killings. It sees its survival in the death of people in Iran and in the Middle East region. This outdated regime has never had the will nor the intention of responding to the needs of the Iranian people. It tortures and executes to stay alive.\u00a0While the regime continues to fan the flames of war in the Middle East, its main goal is to maintain its hold on power at home. This is why in tandem with its warmongering policies, it has resorted to increasing its repressive measures at home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/irans-regime-is-ramping-up-executions-to-avoid-its-inevitable-downfall\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s 20-Year Vision Document and Its Unfulfilled Promises<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-45379 size-medium\" title=\"iran-money-dollar-400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/iran-money-dollar-400-300x183.gif\" alt=\"iran-money-dollar-400\" width=\"300\" height=\"183\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2003, the Supreme Leader of the Iranian regime, Ali Khamenei, conveyed the 20-year vision document to then-President Mohammad Khatami.

While most Iranians maintain an attitude of disinterest towards the elections of the Islamic Council, the inner sanctum of power is embroiled in a relentless struggle for dominance. These factions, armed with special provisions and deeply entrenched within the system, are steadily implementing policies of heightened stringency. Their drive for power has progressively shrunk the circle of influence around the apex of the power hierarchy. Dissent, even in the slightest form and regardless of its merit, now serves as grounds for expulsion from this elite inner circle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewswire.org\/irans-election-in-2024-a-factional-friction-and\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">November 2023 Report: Hijab and Chastity Law<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-313969 alignleft\" title=\"Monthly first page November 2023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Monthly-first-page-November-2023.jpg\" alt=\"Monthly first page November 2023\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Monthly-first-page-November-2023.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Monthly-first-page-November-2023-150x75.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coinciding with the 16 days of activism to eliminate violence against women and girls, the November monthly report focuses on the most prevalent form of violence against women in Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While other forms of violence affect specific strata of women and girls, activists and dissidents, students, etc., the violence entwined with enforcement of the compulsory veil impacts all women from all ages, all walks of life, and in every city and village across the country.
