Their Creativity on the Gallows: These are the Reformists of the Iranian Regime

It has been more than a hundred days since the appointment of (Bezhgikian) as the new president of the oppressive clerical regime in Tehran, yet we have not observed any signs of reform, however minimal. The promises made before the inauguration seem to be in one realm, while the events that followed have unfolded in another, leading to a worsening situation under (Bezhgikian)’s presidency. The oppressive regime, with its hierarchical structure, appears more unchangeable than ever, as all evidence indicates that this regime was founded on the pillars of dominance and exclusion—intellectually, economically, militarily, and socially. It has become accustomed to viewing others with hostility and animosity, both internally and externally, which only reflects the ingrained malice of a regressive mentality that is bound for downfall.

The clerical regime has been struck by a delusional superiority that places it in a state of arrogant ignorance, incompatible with the principles of modern human civilization experienced by other nations and peoples. Instead, it resembles the Stone Age and the rule of the jungle, where the strong devours the weak. The Iranian regime continues to deepen its oppression of the nation with a ghastly dramatic intensity; executions have not decreased but instead have escalated, with their numbers rising beyond previous levels. Corruption has spread horizontally and vertically at alarming rates that exceed all imagination, while the Iranian people, unable to bear the oppression and silencing of their voices, have risen against their oppressors in pursuit of freedom and will not retreat. They have challenged the tyrannical clerics with acts of heroism, sacrifice, and audacity, commanding our utmost respect and appreciation.

The topics of violence, terrorism export, and drug trafficking are predominantly mafioso in nature, as the regime employs state-sponsored terrorism in its most horrific forms. I specifically highlight the situation in some Arab countries seized by the clerical regime, which has infiltrated their decision-making, violated their sanctities, and brought destruction, ruin, and bloodshed, as seen in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Palestine, after exporting the misery experienced in Iran to these nations, displacing their peoples, or committing genocide against them.

The rate of poverty in Iran has alarmingly risen, which is inconceivable given the vast wealth found both within and outside the earth. Yet, we see the expansion of poverty alongside increasing misery, as the social balance has been disrupted, the middle class has been eliminated, leaving a small corrupt and plundering elite, coupled with two extreme classes: one in abject poverty and another aspiring to attain the conditions of the former. This is the reality faced by the majority of the oppressed Iranian people, who are filled with resentment and despair. This describes the so-called Islamic Republic under the rule of its clerical leaders, who champion hollow slogans and foolish, grandstanding speeches that no longer serve even the interests of their media narratives in light of their treachery toward their allies.

Our article highlights how the newly appointed president designated by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, labeled as a "reformist," has initiated his presidency by extending a hand in peace towards the Arabs, while simultaneously selling out his allies within the so-called "Resistance Axis" for a pittance. With his other hand, he has cast aside the pretense of human rights advocacy, recording the highest rate of executions in the history of the clerical regime during the first one hundred days of this “reformist's” governance. The justifications he offers are arguably worse than the crime itself; if Bezhgikian has executed 460 innocent citizens in these hundred days, what can we expect him to do with the remaining time in office? Is it reasonable to expect such repressive regimes to adhere to humanitarian, ethical, and internationally recognized standards?

It appears that the clerics of Iran believe they are beyond punishment, as they act with impunity amid the negligence and inertia of international community institutions regarding the actions committed by this regime. Undoubtedly, there is no alternative and no solution to escaping the hell of the clerical regime's pandemic except for its overthrow and the implementation of the Iranian Resistance's ten-point plan proposed and championed by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the Iranian Resistance. According to the logic of action and reaction, the tragic fate of the clerics is inevitable at the hands of the rebellious Iranian people and the units of resistance, which may come soon. It is neither shameful nor wrong for the free people of this world to stand in solidarity with the Iranian people and their resistance.
