Then, the time will come for the Iranian Resistance and their president, Maryam Rajavi , who holds the support of the Iranian people.

Fake Election Show Cracks in Iran Regime

London, Iran Focus, 26 May 2017 - The President of an NGO representing freedom for those in the middle east has criticised the Iranian Regime for their sham elections, noted that the cracks in their ‘democracy’ are showing and indicated that the fall of the Regime could not be far off.

Struan Stevenson, who is president of the European Iraqi Freedom Association and also served as a member of the European Parliament representing Scotland until 2014, wrote:

 “Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei hates the West, hates Sunnis, hates Saudi Arabia, hates religious minorities of any kind and as the final arbiter of all power in Iran, favoured the election of his friend, the ultra-hard-line Ebrahim Raisi, the black-

turbaned mullah often cited as his potential successor. The fact that Hassan Rouhani was declared the runaway victor in the presidential election was proclaimed in the West as a triumph for the forces of moderation and reform. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Iran, May, 25, 2017 - Protest gatherings and activities of depositors in financial institutions operated and owned by regime's elements and supported by state banking system have picked up pace in different cities in Iran.

Protest gathering of plundered shareholders

This time, the depositors gathered in front of a number of Arman Credit Institution branches on Wednesday, May 24th, 2017 demanding immediate action by the institution officials. They demanded their money back.

The rumor of this institution going bankrupt has taken a more real tone with the closure of some of the customers' accounts. These rumors have led to a wave of shareholders going to different branches to reclaim their money.

An article published by the state owned Tabnak website on Wednesday May 24th says that Arman financial system comprising of two institutions, 'Iranian Alborz' and 'Vahdat' is on the verge of bankruptcy. This has caused a tremendous alarm among the shareholders.

One of such branches where people gathered on Wednesday is in the city of Shushtan, southern Iran.

Maryam Rajavi, welcomed the positions adopted by the Arab Islamic American Summit vis-à-vis the Iranian regime's conduct, which has undermined peace and stability in the Middle East region and the world.

She emphasized in particular the statement regarding the need to confront the clerical regime's export of terrorism and fundamentalism, its ballistic missile program, its interference in the internal affairs of other countries, as well as its destructive regional and international role. 

She described the stances as indispensable to ending terrorism, war, and bloodshed, and restoring peace and tranquility.

Maryam Rajavi reiterated that the censure of the clerical regime's actions and crimes must be pursued and realized through practical measures,

 specifically by severing ties with the ruling theocracy, expelling it from international organizations, designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as well as other military, paramilitary and security forces affiliated with the regime as terrorist organizations, and expelling them from the region.

The emergence of fundamentalism stems from a multitude of factors, including social and historical circumstances, as well as policies pursued by the international community. Maryam Rajavi views

Major developments in the twentieth century in their own right impacted the formation and rapid advance of fundamentalism. But none has been as determinative as the rise to power of the reactionary mullahs in Iran.

 This is particularly the case because the ruling regime in Iran offered, for the first time, a model for fundamentalist groups to follow, the very groups who have now become the source of terrorism and war in the Middle East region and elsewhere.

But is the emergence of fundamentalism, as some assert, a face-off between the Islamic world and the West; or more specifically, is this a confrontation between Islam on the one hand, and Christianity and Judaism on the other?
Indeed no! In reality, the crux of the conflict is not between Islam and Christianity.

 Nor is it between Islam and the West, and nor between the Shia and the Sunni. The conflict is over freedom versus subjugation and dictatorship, between equality on the one hand and oppression and misogyny on the other.

Rouhani’s most important achievement was the decline of inflation to nearly 10%, but it also had a terrifying byproduct. According to government reports, the unemployment rate during this time climbed from 10% to 12.5%. Independent analysts believe, however, that it stands at 40%, which means Iran currently has 10 million unemployed people.

Rouhani’s Future In Iran

On May 19, 2017, Incumbent President Hassan Rouhani won Iran’s election over his rival Ebrahim Raisi.While Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is the chief decision maker in Iran, seems to have decided upon a policy of isolationism and exerting military power, directly or by proxy, throughout the Middle East.

Are there any chances of economic growth in Iran? Business opportunities for foreign companies and a revival of foreign investments, and what is the outlook for a reduction of risks in a trade with this country?

• Rouhani neither wants, nor is able to alter regime’s foundations and behavior; massive economic and social destruction, crackdown and repression will persist

• Khamenei’s heavy defeat in manipulating election is an indication of an end to the regime

Maryam Rajavi, described the mullahs’ regime at the end of its sham presidential election, as a divided regime that has been gravely weakened by its internal power struggle. She added: 

Rouhani’s second term would only entail growing crisis and a more intense power struggle.

 Crisis has precipitated at the leadership level of the religious fascism and would continue until the downfall of the regime of the velayat-e faqih (absolute rule of clergy). 

The heightening power struggle is a reflection of the regime’s strategic failure in resolving the most pressing social problems and growing discontent.

Maryam Rajavi said: In the current critical domestic, regional and international circumstances, for Khamenei it is crucial to make the medieval regime monolithic in order to face the crises and maintain the regime’s balance.

 Therefore, Khamenei’s failure to manipulate the election result to bring Raisi out of the ballot box and make the regime monolithic is a heavy blow for him and a sign of the regime’s approaching demise.

 The election campaign this time attracted greater public attention to the 1988 massacre of political prisoners right from the beginning.

 Public outrage against Raisi over his role in the massacre and the regime’s fear of the campaign which seeks justice for the victims reached an extent that many clerics and even powerful figures within Khamenei’s faction were not prepared to support Raisi.
