Maryam Rajavi: Purging Presidential Candidates, a Clear Sign of the Final Phase of the Religious, Terrorist Dictatorship
Any interaction and cooperation with the clerical regime will be in service of the repression and slaughter of the Iranian people, and its nuclear weapons ambitions, and fueling wars in the region. Khamenei took steps to consolidate the regime and maximize repression by purging presidential candidates who had participated in all of the regime’s crimes over the past 40 years. This is a clear sign of the regime’s crisis of overthrow and the final phase of the religious, terrorist dictatorship.

Iran Elections 2021: Regime Growing More Concerned of Calls for National Boycott
The Iranian regime’s Guardian Council will announce on Tuesday, May 25, the qualified candidates for the mullahs’ sham June 18 Presidential elections. The Guardian Council is the body that vets candidates and those who add no value to the charade or harbor the slightest disagreement with the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei are regularly disqualified.
Iran: The Spread of Poverty Under the Mullahs’ Rule
According to the latest government-backed polls in Iran, the majority of the people will not participate in the upcoming sham presidential election—and the regime’s Guardian Council, the body that oversees the elections, doesn’t see this as a problem. Neither does it consider the election illegitimate. This means that the regime only wants to pass this sharp curve, even with the fewest votes.
The 40-Year Unanswered Demands of Iran’s Nation
The issue of presenting strategic plans for Iran’s future government is hot among the candidates of the presidential election, and even there are rumors about several thousand-page plans to solve the country’s economic and livelihood problems as one of the top priorities of the presidential contenders. But it seems that the candidates were not able to develop a coherent plan to introduce the main priorities of the country.
Why the Iranian Regime Will Collapse
The death penalty is irreversible therefore it must be abolished. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the death penalty violates the very basic human rights. Article 3 states that everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of a person. A report published in 2015 stated that Iran is believed to execute the most people per capita. A report by Amnesty showed Iran had executed at least 246 people, including 9 women in 2020. Another 2020 annual report indicated at least 6 executions of juveniles.
Iran’s Blackouts Seriously Disrupt Daily Lives
Iran’s blackouts have seriously impacted the daily lives of millions of Iranians including in the capital Tehran since May 22. Despite blackout timetables announced by officials in Tehran, the neighboring Alborz Province, and Khorasan Razavi in northeastern Iran, unannounced blackouts have been occurring across the country in the past two days.
