NCRI – The mullahs’ regime has resorted to blackmail and intimidation to prevent a new UN sanction resolution. To that end, the regime’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the French ambassador to Tehran and censured that country’s policy toward the regime’s nuclear program. Before anything else such behavior is a sign of its fear of a resolution with more binding measures.
Despite the Iranian regime’s arguments of vanity of the sanctions, they have had crippling effects on the regime which is faced with crushing waves of popular uprisings specially that of women and youths. The upcoming ratification of the third sanction resolution would restrict the mullahs’ room for maneuver.
The Iranian Resistance emphasized the need for imposition of comprehensive sanctions on the Iranian regime and called for the expeditious approval of the third UN resolution. Wavering and delay in adopting a firm policy and imposition of comprehensive sanctions are continuation of the appeasement of the ruling religious fascism as well as a major aid to obtain the atom bomb; something that will face the world with terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.
