On Sunday, December 3, during a session titled \u201cThe Second National Conference on the Implementation of the Constitution,\u201d the Iranian regime\u2019s president Ebrahim Raisi asserted<\/a>, \u201cOur backing for Gaza and Palestine aligns completely with constitutional principles, deeming support for the oppressed as a crucial duty of the Islamic government. Consequently, since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, a fundamental tenet of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been to support the rights of the Palestinian people, recognizing this as a paramount issue in the Islamic world. Despite global political changes and regional inclinations, this foundational principle in our foreign policy remains unwavering.\u201d<\/p>\n For a regime that justifies the suppression of women through the pretext of \u201cpiteous attire\u201d and enforces internet censorship under the guise of \u201cuser protection,\u201d such statements might seem like mere political rhetoric. However, there is a degree of truth in Raisi’s words, a figure known for his systematic deceit and duplicity.<\/p>\n The theocratic rule in Iran inherently involves supporting terrorism and extremist groups. As Ruhollah Khomeini, the previous Supreme Leader and the founder of this regime, famously stated, \u201cPreserving the system is of highest priority,\u201d his successor, Ali Khamenei, has emphasized<\/a> this in recent years, stating, \u201cIf we don’t combat terrorists in Syria or Iraq, we must confront them in the streets of Hamedan and Kermanshah.\u201d<\/p>\n Throughout the course of the Iranian regime’s history, regardless of economic conditions, political instability, or periods of war, there has never been a moment when the regime abstained from intervening in the affairs of other countries, driven either by diplomatic considerations or foreign policy priorities. Even during the 24 years when three administrations professed to pursue de-escalation and cultivate positive relations with the West \u2013during the presidencies of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Mohammad Khatami, and Hassan Rouhani \u2013 the Iranian regime consistently sustained its engagement in the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America. This reality finds strong support in extensive research conducted by Western intelligence services and think tanks<\/a>.<\/p>\n An overview of #Iran<\/a>\u2019s history of hostage-taking and how Western appeasement has fueled Tehran\u2019s #terrorism<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/ieaaOkZb6y<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) October 19, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
