Iran Bullies Biden Negotiating Team — Iran Resistance NCRI: ‘Walk Away’
OAN, August 17, 2022

Twenty years ago this week, from the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., the National Council for Resistance for Iran (NCRI-US) made public a groundbreaking discovery; Iran was developing a secret nuclear program.
Dubbed the “Natanz Revelation,” NCRI had warned the world of Iran’s nuclear aspirations since 1991 based on their ground intelligence gathering operations.
It wasn’t until 2002 the group was able to produce hard evidence of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. NCRI’s discovery led the world’s nuclear regulation agency, the IAEA, to demand access and initiate an investigation.
Twenty years later, NCRI hosted a panel discussion from the Willard Hotel Wednesday at a time when the Biden Administration has lost its negotiation edge completely in the Iran nuclear talks from Vienna.

Salman Rushdie Stabbing Suspect ‘Had Contact With Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’
Intel officials told VICE World News Hadi Matar had been in contact with members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. There’s no evidence Iran was involved in organising the attack.
Vice, August 14, 2022

The 24-year-old man accused of stabbing author Salman Rushdie had been in direct contact with members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on social media, European and Middle Eastern intelligence officials told VICE World News.
Hadi Matar has been charged with attempted murder after Rushdie, 75, was repeatedly stabbed on stage ahead of a speaking event in Chautauqua, New York, on Friday. On Sunday, Rushdie’s son Zafar Rushdie said his father was in a critical condition and had sustained “life-changing” injuries but had been taken off a ventilator and had been able to speak.

Mad At Mullahs: Attacks On Iranian Clerics Highlight Rising Public Anger
RadioFarda, August 16, 2022

A woman assaulted a cleric in the holy Shi’ite city of Qom, home to seminaries and senior ayatollahs, knocking off his turban and stepping on it after he apparently warned her about her hijab.

The video of the incident went viral last year, with many praising the woman, while there was almost no sympathy for the cleric, who some said deserved the treatment.
The incident — which resulted in the arrest of the woman — highlighted public resentment for the clerics, who came to power following the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
In a sign of the rising anger, physical attacks against clerics appear to be increasing in Iran, where some of the religious officials have said they don’t wear their robes or turbans in public to avoid being targeted, while others have warned about the public wrath against them and the decline in their stature and influence.

No Visa for Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi
He heads a state that routinely endangers U.S. citizens, including former national security adviser John Bolton.
The Wall Street Journal, August 10, 2022 by Joe Lieberman and Mark Wallace

The Iranian government confirmed last week that President Ebrahim Raisi will seek an entry visa to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September. The Biden administration should reject his request given Mr. Raisi’s bloodstained record and Iran’s continuing threats against U.S. citizens. On Wednesday the Justice Department unsealed an indictment against a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization, for plotting a murder-for-hire scheme against John R. Bolton, who formerly served as U.N. ambassador and White House national security adviser. Read More
