The Washington Times, 27 August - Editorial - Speaking before the Democratic Leadership Council recently, former President Clinton urged "more diplomacy" as a way to ameliorate America's hostile relationship with countries like Iran. Simply waving a diplomatic wand in front of this enemy won't make the problems it is causing in Iraq and elsewhere disappear. The principal aims of Iran's ruling theocrats are to drive the United States out of Muslim countries; destroy Israel and fragile U.S.-supported democracies in Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon; and create a power base of like-minded regimes stretching across the upper tier of the predominantly Sunni Muslim Arab world.

Associated Press, 29 December  — Two Iranians detained by U.S. forces in Iraq were senior members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards and had coordinated attacks against coalition troops and Iraqi civilians, the head of an Iranian opposition group said Thursday.

The White House said earlier this week that U.S. troops had caught a group of Iranians in a raid on suspected insurgents in Iraq. Two of the men had diplomatic immunity and were released them to Iran, but the other two were kept in custody.

Iran will get the bomb within a year

Verdens Gang, Norway, November 7 – Maryam Rajavi, leader of the Iranian opposition, states that the Iranian regime will get the bomb within a year. She compares the situation to that at the time of Hitler before the Second World War.

In an interview with the online edition of Verdens Gang, Maryam Rajavi said: “If the opposition had not exposed Iran’s secret nuclear sites, it is highly likely that the regime would have now obtained the atomic bomb. According to our information, the mullahs will produce 14 kilograms of plutonium by the end of 2007. But the mullahs spread false information abroad about their nuclear program, claiming that they would need ten years to develop the bomb”.

Paris-based Rajavi, is the «president-elect» of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which Tehran has accused of waging an armed struggle against the country's government. She met members of the Norwegian Parliament's foreign affairs committee in a closed session on Tuesday to brief them on her group's criticism of the state of human rights and democracy in Iran, as well as the country's nuclear program, which many in the West see as an attempt to develop atomic weapons.

Despite threats of “serious consequences”, Parliament's foreign affairs committee met Maryam Rajavi on Monday

La Libre Belgique, 25 octobre -

• Opponent of Tehran regime welcomed at the Senate
• An unofficial visit which nonetheless aroused Iran's anger and led to the summoning of Belgium's ambassador
• Mrs. Rajavi seeks the removal of her organization's name from the EU blacklist

The wind is blowing in Maryam Rajavi's favor. The President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a coalition of group's opposed to Tehran's rulers, becomes more and more popular as the regime's President Ahmadinejad becomes disreputable. A sign of this is the welcoming she was given on Tuesday at the Belgian Parliament.

TV2 (Norway), 6.30 PM, November 4 – Iran’s ambassador to Norway made some threats regarding the visit next week by Maryam Rajavi, leader of the Iranian opposition. The Norwegian Foreign Ministry is going to follow up this matter but does not give any importance to the threats.

Maryam Rajavi, champion of the Iranian Resistance and leader of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, will come to Norway next Tuesday for meetings at the Parliament. Her supporters are deeply concerned about the threats by the regime’s ambassador.

The Iranian regime only harms itself by interfering in the meetings of Parliament’s officials

By Per Olav Odegard

Verdens Gang, November 5 – By reacting with harsh protests and threats, the Iranian regime shows its true nature. These reactions are due to the fact that the mullahs, despite all their efforts to destroy the opposition, were not able to defeat the National Council of the Resistance of Iran and see it as a serious threat.

Aftenposten, November 5 – The Norwegian Foreign Ministry sharply reacted to the Iranian ambassador’s threats about the meeting planned with the leader of the Iranian opposition at the Parliament.

The Undersecretary of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs Raymond Johansen stated: “We do not have any cordial and passionate relations with Iran”.
