Middle East Times, 14 March - Parliamentary elections in Iran today will see radical Islamists consolidate their domination of the political landscape and any form of so-called "moderation" shunned away. Such has been dictated by Iran's chief ayatollah, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

The Washington Times published an interview with Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on parliamentary elections in Iran. “The international community has to recognize that this election has no legitimacy whatsoever. The only real long-term hope is democratic change in Iran led by the people and by the resistance to end the mullahs' regime,” said Mrs. Rajavi in her telephone interview from Paris.

Khamenei emphasized on the need for upcoming Majlis's full backing of Ahmadinejad and to keep distance from the enemies

Maryam Rajavi: By purging their rivals Khamenei and Ahmadinejad's factions cleared the way for an unimpeded drive toward obtaining nuclear weapons and export of terrorism and fundamentalism

The mullahs' Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei admitted on Wednesday to the rigging in the upcoming elections and said, "Voters should elect candidates to the Majlis (parliament) who would pave the way for the loyal and energetic government to charge ahead."

Middle East Times, 5 March - The Iranian regime seems adept at assigning paradoxical functionalities to certain political or economic tools and mechanisms. Construction cranes, for example, are meant to help erect buildings and further economic progress everywhere else in the world. But, in Iran, they are used to hang people.
