Iran’s plot to assassinate Bolton proves the West’s appeasement emboldens Tehran
The U.S. Justice Department unveiling a plot by the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) to assassinate former U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton has shocked the world. However, it should come to no surprise as it is yet another reminder of the true nature of the mullahs’ regime ruling Iran: the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Interview of Alghad TV with a member of the MEK resistance unit
The resistance units are the nightmare of the authorities, and they post pictures of President Maryam Rajavi, write slogans on the walls, and spread slogans of overthrowing the regime.
The PMOI is the only organization that helps us in this great fight for freedom. We want freedom for our country, and we will do anything to gain freedom; and I ask the international community to support the PMOI and stop dealing with mullahs.

IRGC plot to assassinate Ambassador John Bolton is alarming. Regime’s president was involved in the massacre of political prisoners and 1500 protesters. Now, he is embarking on assassinating foreign politicians. Raisi must not enter the US and the UN. He must be arrested and prosecuted
