Will Iran Ever Be Held Accountable for its 36-Year-Old Genocide?<\/h3>\n

\"townhall-logo\"<\/p>\n

In the summer of 1988, the Iranian regime committed genocide. That is one of the key takeaways from the final report issued by Javaid Rehman, the UN special rapporteur for the situation of human rights in Iran, who concludes his mandate this month before passing the baton to Japanese lawyer Mai Sato. Rehman\u2019s report focused in part on the\u00a01988 massacre<\/a>\u00a0of political prisoners, which claimed as many as 30,000 victims. He noted that this and a series of underlying mass killings were justified by the clerical regime as attacks on \u201cenemies of Islam,\u201d therein signaling a goal of religiously motivated extermination in keeping with the definition of genocide.<\/p>\n

The Dire Road Ahead of The Iranian Regime\u2019s New President<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On July 30, Iranian regime president Massoud Pezeshkian, in his inauguration ceremony at the Majlis (parliament), in addition to signing the pledge document, repeatedly emphasized the implementation of regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei\u2019s programs in his speech. Like his endorsement ceremony, he began his remarks with praise for Regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, former IRGC Quds force commander Qassem Soleimani, and former regime president Ebrahim Raisi, and emphasized \u201cpursuing the policies dictated by Khamenei.\u201d He also repeatedly affirmed his commitment to the regime\u2019s constitution and the vision document crafted by Khamenei.<\/p>\n

Khamenei, both in the endorsement decree and in his speech at Pezeshkian\u2019s endorsement ceremony, gave him numerous instructions summarized in one word: subservience. And that according to Raisi\u2019s model. Khamenei\u2019s appointees also constantly warned the new president of the regime not to overstep his bounds. They advised him to focus on economic issues and avoid creating trouble by engaging in cultural matters like hijab and internet censorship.<\/p>\n
