US House Foreign Affairs Committee Members Urge Treasury to Take Firm Action Against Iranian Oil Sales
In a letter to the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, nine members of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee expressed their concerns over China continuing to purchase oil from the Iranian regime.
“These purchases enable Iran to support terrorism, develop ballistic missiles, and pursue weapons,” members of the US congress wore.
“We urge you to take action against China’s illegal conduct of purchasing oil from Iran. This action will increase the credibility of the United States and send a strong message to both Beijing and Tehran that the United States will hold these rogue regimes accountable for destabilizing the Middle East and the world.”

State Affiliated Cleric Calls on Extremists to Attack other Countries
Mohammad-Mohsen Moruji Tabasi, faculty member and director of the University of Religions in Iran, attacked other Muslim countries for failing to send their troops to war in Syria and incited the citizens of these countries to attack the US, UK, and Israel.
Speaking on state television ‘Quran Network’ on October 22, Moruji Tabasi said: “Why shouldn’t we have a joint Islamic army? Why is the burden to defend the holy shrines in Syria and Iraq only upon Haj Qassem Soleimani? Why are other Islamic countries failing to send troops? Why didn’t they go?… Why should a communist country come to our aid? Aren’t these Islamic countries ashamed? Why is Russia coming to help, but Islamic states fail to come to help our children, and then we saw that Qassem Soleimani was martyred.”
Outrightly provoking terrorism, he added: “Do you really want to be a martyr? No problem. Take some explosives, go to the US or the Israeli embassy, and them blow up. You really want to be a martyr and go to heaven? No one is stopping you. There are so many facilities in the United States, Israel, and Britain. Go there, and do it in the name of God. We will pray for you to do this.”

“My Brother Was Sentenced to Death by Raisi”—Survivor of Iran’s 1988 Massacre
Unfortunately, the summer 1988 massacre in Iran has been one of the most under-reported atrocities in our times. In the span of just a few months the ruling mullahs’ regime sent over 30,000 political prisoners to be executed, mostly members and supporters of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
Countless Iranian families throughout the country have long been devastated by the mass killing, now defined by experts as a “crime against humanity” and “genocide.” Numerous families lost numerous loved ones and the regime, seeking to forever bury these atrocities, carried out the horrific executions in a hasty manner.
Iran Endangering Children’s Lives With COVID-19 Vaccinations
No health authority worldwide has authorized the use of the COVID-19 vaccines in children under age 11 years so far, except China and Cuba. Yet, the Iranian regime is recommending that parents vaccinate their children as young as 3 years old most probably using COVID-19 vaccines developed in China and Cuba. This recommendation is medically unethical and puts children’s lives in danger. Parents should stand up for their children and fight the government mandate for children to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. If and when the World Health Organization (WHO), or another globally recognized health authority, authorizes any of the currently available COVID-19 vaccines for use in children-only then should parents carefully weigh the benefits and risks of the vaccine and make the best decision possible for their children.
Fifth COVID-19 Wave in Iran Worsens, As Sixth Wave Is Imminent

According to the regime’s concocted death toll figures, as of Wednesday, the number is approximately 124,500. On the other hand, estimates from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) suggest that the actual number is above 460,800. The regime has consistently downplayed the seriousness of the pandemic in Iran in a bid to cover up its errors in responding to the crisis.
