“On the 30th of June I’m delighted that the Iranian community will be meeting in Paris. The freedom of expression that you experienced there hopefully will inspire you to express those very real wishes that you have for real change in Iran. We in the European Parliament will be participating. We’ll be watching. We will be listening and we will always be supporting a free Iran.”

“I am particularly encouraged by the role women play in leading many of these protests. I think Maryam_Rajavi President-elect of NCRI, whom I have met several times, is a role model for many women who want to stand up for their rights in Iran,” she said.
“From all indications, we can see that after four decades of brutal &anti-women rule of the mullahs, change is about to come to Iran. Ppl of Iran have said it clearly: We don’t want to be ruled by these fanatics who have ruined the country in all these years!
“I therefore believe that the Grand Gathering of the Iranian opposition that will be held in Paris on 30 June, can be a turning point towards democratic change in Iran. So, I urge everyone to come to the rally to join voices in support of a free Iran.”

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism 21 February 2018 Iran Focus London, 21 Feb - In recent years, when the US has made statements against Iran-backed Hezbollah, they have often followed this up with support for the Lebanese army and security forces, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is little, if any, distinction between the Lebanese state and the Iran-backed terrorist group. When US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Beirut, last Thursday, Hezbollah had created two new problems with Israel: a southern border wall and the debates over oil and gas extraction. This caused Tillerson to make the US position on Hezbollah very clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation with no difference between its military and political wings. He advised that Hezbollah and Iran were creating tensions in the region in order to destabilise the Middle East. Iran seeks the destruction to distract others from its own problems, both domestic and international. It not only ta...

Iran-Backed Hezbollah Accuses Saudi Arabia of Arresting Lebanon Prime Minister10 November 2017 Iran Focus London, 10 Nov - The Secretary-General of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group is blaming Saudi Arabia for the shock resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri this weekend with no actual evidence to back up his claims. Hassan Nasrallah claimed that Hariri has been arrested in Riyadh, even claiming to be seriously worried about Hariri’s safety and calling upon Saudi Arabia to “give us back our prime minister”. This is, of course, designed to detract attention from the reasons that Hariri actually gave for his resignation in a speech on Saturday from Saudi Arabia. Hariri said that he feared that the Iranian Regime and Hezbollah were going to assassinate him, as they did to his father in 2005, when under the orders of Mustafa Badr al-Din.

REGIME IS SCARED OF THE MEK’S POPULARITY IN IRAN Created: 25 January 2018 Iran Maryam Rajavi NCRI PMOI/MEK Protests United States Inside Iran IRGC Demonstration People of Iran Maryam Rajavi's poster hanged in Tehran Make no mistake, the Iranian Regime is absolutely terrified of not just the Iranian people, but also the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK). This fear can be seen in the pro-regime protests that the mullahs organized, where paid protesters held signs like “Green Movement is supporter of Rajavi”, and in the many comments from Regime leaders themselves. It seems like even the Iranian Regime is being forced to admit that the Iranian Resistance is incredibly popular amongst the Iranian people. In early January, Supreme Leder Ali Khamenei said that the protest had been organized by the MEK months ago. He was trying to imply that the Iranian people had been manipulated by enemies of the Regime- apparently forgetting that the Iranian people are enemies of the Regim...
