More Families Join the Nationwide Campaign of Boycott
After the November 2019 uprisings, the regime tried hard to appease some of the families of the slain protesters and “bribe off” the blood of their children. But as more and more families of the martyrs are vocally expressing their hatred against the entire regime, calling for boycotting the election and promoting regime change, it becomes even more obvious how much the bribers have failed.

Iran’s Regime Paves the Way for Raisi’s Presidency
With two days left before the Iranian regime’s sham presidential election, the regime is setting the stage to make it easier for Ebrahim Raisi, the preferred candidate of supreme leader Ali Khamenei, to become the regime’s next president. On Wednesday, candidate Alireza Zakani declared his withdrawal from the presidential race in favor of Raisi. In an interview with the regime’s state-run television network, Zakani said, “Given the welcome that Ayatollah Raisi has received, I see him as more qualified than I am. I will vote for him and hope that with him, there will be fundamental reforms in the country.”
Record of Ebrahim Raisi in the Oppression of Women
Ebrahim Raisi, the current Judiciary Chief and subservient disciple to Ruhollah Khomeini, is the only serious contender among 592 registered candidates qualified to run by the Guardian Council. The Iranian people know Raisi as the “Henchman of the 1988 massacre” and a “mass murderer.” As Ali Khamenei’s primary candidate for the 2021 elections in Iran, he has met solid and broad opposition, particularly among women and youth.

E3 Issue Joint Statement on Iran Nuclear Program but It Doesn’t Go Far Enough
Britain, France, and Germany issued a joint statement on Wednesday expressing concern over Iran’s nuclear program, citing systematic violations of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which they did present to the International Atomic Energy Agency, but former vice-president of the European Parliament Alejo Vidal-Quadras says that all the statement did was repeat the UN nuclear watchdog’s own observations. He said that the E3’s condemnation indicates that European authorities are acknowledging the IAEA’s warnings, but warned that this doesn’t mean much if the countries refuse to specify the consequences of continuing to violate the deal.
Iran’s Regime Upset About the Decisions of the International Community
When it comes to Iran, it seems that the international community, despite all the wishes and expectations of the Iranian regime, will no longer appease this regime in subjects like its nuclear and missile program and its interference in the Middle East and its support for global terrorism and other malign activities like its support for the international drug mafia. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Summit on Monday, June 14 issued a statement announcing its commitment to preventing the Iranian regime from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
