Iran, Resistance Member: \u201cThe Regime Will Never Abandon Its Nuclear Bomb Program\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe religious dictatorship ruling Iran is the source of terrorism and war in the region. It will never abandon its program to build a nuclear bomb, nor its military interventionism in the Middle East, because doing so would mean losing its hegemony and the guarantees of its own survival\u2014leading to its collapse,\u201d said Ahoura, 28, from Khuzestan province, a member of an Iranian Resistance Unit and supporter of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), in an interview with LaPresse.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the elected President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, has stated regarding the ongoing nuclear talks, the regime is merely trying to buy time,\u201d he added. \u201cIt is seeking to avoid activation of the \u2018snapback\u2019 mechanism and wants to ease growing public discontent by reducing the impact of sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"united<\/p>\n

WILMINGTON, N.C. \u2013 An Iranian national pleaded guilty today to participating in an international ransomware and extortion scheme involving the Robbinhood ransomware.<\/p>\n

According to court documents and statements made in court, Sina Gholinejad, 37, and his co-conspirators compromised the computer networks of cities, corporations, health care organizations, and other entities around the United States, and encrypted files on these victim networks with the Robbinhood ransomware variant to extort ransom payments.\u00a0 These cyber-attacks caused significant disruptions and tens of millions in losses, including to the City of Greenville, North Carolina, and the City of Baltimore, Maryland.\u00a0 Baltimore lost more than $19 million from the damage caused to their computer networks and the resulting disruption to several essential city services, including online services for processing property taxes, water bills, parking citations, and other revenue-generating functions, which lasted many months.

Conference at the French National Assembly<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi’s speech: “Last year, during our meetings, especially in this very questure room, we sought to demonstrate that the religious dictatorship has constructed a false image of its power through executions, terrorism, and warmongering. Unfortunately, in both Europe and America, advocates of appeasement continue to perpetuate the illusion that this regime is strong.<\/p>\n

“However, today the world has begun to recognize its fragility. If the mullahs\u2019 regime truly had a solid foundation, it would not have so quickly lost its position and influence in Syria and Lebanon. During the fall of Bashar al-Assad, their numerous troops would not have retreated so rapidly in the face of rebel attacks.”<\/p>\n
