Maryam Rajavi welcomes the third sanction resolution by the UN Security Council against the mullahs' regime and calls for comprehensive sanctions

The regime is extremely susceptible to comprehensive sanctions which intensifies the internal factional feuding and increases the popular uprisings

Earlier today the UN Security Council adopted its third resolution imposing new sanctions against the ruling religious fascism in Iran. The new resolution underlines the contents of the previous resolutions 1969, 1737 and 1747 and reiterates that the regime had not cooperated with the additional protocol and not complied with the mandates of the IAEA Board of Governors.

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, lauded the student uprising in Shiraz University and reiterated that widespread student uprising which is spreading to other universities across the country is indicative of the Iranian people's deep-seated anger and hatred towards the religious fascism ruling Iran and the people’s desire for an end to the illegitimate regime in Tehran.

Prior to the upcoming meeting of the 5+1 countries, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, called for immediate adoption of comprehensive arms, technological, diplomatic and oil sanctions to prevent the mullahs' regime to acquire nuclear bomb. 

"On Saturday, the Qods force had bombed the pumping station supplying water to Ashraf city, 100 kilometres north-east of Baghdad, according to Iranian resistance sources," Deutsche Presse-Agentur, DPA, reported.

Mrs. Rajavi calls for condemnation of the clerical regime and prosecution of those who planned and perpetrated the bombing

LONDON, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- On Jan. 24, the Iranian regime's Interior Ministry announced that more than 2,000 so-called reformists had been disqualified from running in the upcoming parliamentary elections, effectively ensuring that allies of the regime's ultra-conservative president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would retain and perhaps strengthen their hold on the 290-seat Parliament come March 14.

Friday, 08 February 2008 - The majority of the European population has been willing to accept much of the use of terrorism legislation as a means to put an end to terrorist activity. However in recent times, one specific case and one particular piece of this terrorism legislation has come under major criticism from all quarters in Europe.

On Monday, Iraq's Foreign Ministry issued a formal complaint by summoning the Iranian regime's ambassador to Baghdad over what it called stealing that country's crud oil.

The Iraqi foreign ministry officially acknowledged that the Iranian regime steals from the shared oil fields between the two neighbors.

It called for the removal of PMOI from the terror list.
