Message To A Conference By German Federal MPs In Berlin<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s speech: “Distinguished personalities, dear friends, Thank you for organizing this meeting. I am delighted that the great friend of the Iranian people and Iranian Resistance, Mr. Alejo Vidal-Quadra, is present in this meeting.<\/p>\n

“The assassination attempt on the life of Professor Vidal-Quadras and his reaction says everything about the nature of the clerical regime and the right policy against it. Certainly, Mr. Vidal-Quadras is one of the examples of dignity in Europe.<\/p>\n

“He defended democratic values and human rights<\/strong><\/a> by paying a heavy price. When the clerical regime placed him on its terror list, he described it as a badge of honor. When he was shot, he used all his strength to point to the Iranian regime as the perpetrator. After this tragic incident, according to his wife, dear Amparo, he could not wait to return to the scene and confront the clerical regime. I am delighted to see him with the same energy as before or perhaps even more.”<\/p>\n

In the past few days, the provinces of Bushehr, Khorasan Razavi, South Khorasan, Sistan and Baluchestan, Fars, Kerman, Hormozgan, and Yazd have been affected by floods and inundation, and many people have lost their lives and livelihoods.

What\u2019s worse is that the people of Sistan and Baluchestan have experienced house-destroying floods in less than two months, submerging their remaining belongings.

Khamenei\u2019s Paradox: Peace Rhetoric Amidst Regional Instability<\/h3>\n

\"ali<\/p>\n

Governmental officials and agents of the Iranian government, particularly Supreme Leader Khamenei, have recently made statements indicating the government\u2019s desire to establish peace and security in the region. However, they have made it clear that the condition for achieving this goal is the withdrawal of foreign forces, especially all American forces, from the region.<\/p>\n

These statements are particularly made following any event or incident in the region, including outbreaks of war, turmoil, or riots. The Iranian regime attempts to portray itself as a humanitarian face in dealing with the crises that arise in the region, often ones it itself instigates, while simultaneously blaming foreign powers for the negative situation in the region.<\/p>\n
