Iran Judiciary set to filter Instagram

An Iranian judicial official announced that Iran was ready to filter Instagram, Facebook’s photo and video-sharing social networking service.
The head of the Virtual Space Department of Iran’s Attorney General’s Office said that a court order had been issued to filter Instagram and that most members of the Supreme Council of Virtual Space, charged with overseeing Iran’s internet, agreed with the filter.

Javid Javidnia announced in an interview with the state-run Peivast monthly that the reason behind the court’s decision was that Iran’s traffic to Instagram had surpassed the limit set by the Supreme Council of Virtual Space.
 “According to Supreme Council of Virtual Space, the government had to issue a permit for this social media to be active in the country, and a permit has not been issued,” he said.
“Instagram was filtered once before and the last government said that they could control this space with smart filtering but unfortunately, high costs were incurred without any results. Now we have an order to filter this service with a majority of Virtual Space Supreme Council members in favor of the filter,” he added.  
On December 30, Tehran’s representative in Iran’s Parliament announced that the Cultural Commission had halted a plan to “manage messengers” in a meeting with Iran’s internet police and the Minister of Information and Communications Technology.
Fatemeh Zolghadr, who is also the Vice-President of the Cultural Commission, said that the plan was referred to a work group adding that the plan was in violation of the laws of the Islamic Republic and that it would create “a security atmosphere”.
The head of the Virtual Space Department of Iran’s Attorney General’s Office said that the Judiciary could move to filter Instagram in a unilateral measure anyway, but preferred for the time being to “wait for a consensus”.  
“We are currently waiting for a consensus in this regard but if waiting proves useless, the Attorney General will make the necessary decision,” Javidnia said.
The controversial plan to manage messenger included “the filtering of illegal messengers”, and giving the “armed forces” power over personal information. The plan also banned doing business via foreign messengers while also allowing prison sentences for those who made groups or channels without permits.
The plan was signed by a number of so-called moderate representatives in the parliament.

Expelling Iranian Diplomats, A Necessary Step For European Security

Expelling Iranian diplomats, a necessary step for European security

Expelling Iranian diplomats, a necessary step for European security
After December 2017, the Iranian regime was deeply concerned about the ongoing uprisings of the Iranian people. Along with the repression of people inside Iran, it made a series of measures to physically eliminate its opposition abroad. It focused on its arch-enemy, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\MEK).
To reach this goal it activated its intelligence agents as Iranian diplomats in its embassies. But one after the other, some of these diplomat terrorists were soon exposed and expelled from their respective countries. The most recent fact was the expulsion of mullahs’ regime’s ambassador and its first secretary from Albaniaby the Albanian government.

Who are the Iranian diplomat terrorists that Albania expelled?
The expulsion of two Iranian diplomats from Albania, following the arrest and expulsion of the Iranian regime’s terrorist diplomats from other European countries including France, Denmark, and the Netherlands, was vastly reflected in the news around the world.
Reuters’ report on December 19, titled: “Albania expels Iranian diplomats on national security grounds”. It added:
“Albania has expelled Iran’s ambassador and another diplomat for ‘damaging its national security’”…
 “Phone calls to the Iranian Embassy in Tirana went unanswered.”
Arab News also reported the expulsion of regime’s terrorist diplomats from Albania on December 22, titled: “Albania expels Iranian diplomats for ‘harming security’” and reminded, “in 2013, Albania agreed to take in some 3,000 members of the Iranian opposition group known as The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI).”
US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, welcomed the Albanian government’s move and tweeted:
Also, John Bolton, the US National Security Advisor, welcomed the Albanian government’s move and noted on Twitter:

Iran: Khamenei’s reps worried over 2019 overthrow plans

Supporters of the Iranian opposition PMOI/MEK holding sings that reads "I will overthrow"
Analysis by PMOI/MEK

Iran, Dec. 17, 2018 - A large portion of the remarks made by Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in his meeting with a slate of senior regime figures on December 12 focused on warnings about the possibility of their regime being overthrown in 2019 and the pillar role played by the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). He placed his regime and forces on full alert, calling on them to be aware of such a plot in 2019.
Khamenei is, in fact, looking to set his low morale regime on high alert, seeking to bring an end to all such rifts that are threatening the very pillars of his rule.
Following Khamenei’s remarks, Friday prayer imams in various cities across Iran – considered as his representatives – referred to his remarks and warned about the “enemy” and the overthrowing plots blueprinted for 2019.
“We must be very aware in 2019 because these threats in 2018 may be paving the paths for a much more powerful sedition next year… Experience shows that following the death of [regime founder Khomeini], the system has experienced a sedition once every ten years. Now we must be prepared for 2019,” said the Friday prayer imam of Asalem, northern Iran. After Khomeini’s death in 1988, Iran has witnessed the massive students uprising in 1999, the 2009 uprising and now the regime is gearing for 2019.
Mullah Ahmad Mir-Emadi, the Friday prayer of Khorramabad, western Iran, also expressed his concerns following Khamenei’s remarks.
“The Supreme Leader mentioned a very sensitive issue in this speech, referring to the blueprint sketched for 2019,” he said.
Mullah Ali Moalemi in Qaemshahr, northern Iran, unveiled his extreme concerns about the enemy.
“The enemy, with its cultural attacks on the internet, is attempting to spread corruption throughout our society and terrifying the nation about the enemy’s threats,” he said.
Mullah Gholam-Hossein Sedighi in Tehran expressed concern about an enemy that has “sought to overthrow the state from day one [of the mullahs’ rule].”
Khamenei’s representative in the city of Ilam, western Iran, expressed concern about an enemy “that has plans for December and January to disrupt the society’s security [read the mullahs’ security].”
The Friday prayer imam in Mashhad referred to Khamenei’s concerns about his regime being overthrown in 2019 by expressing his fear of an enemy that “might have intentions to deceive us and make a lot of noise about it in 2018, while, for example, have a plan for 2019.”
Khamenei’s representative in the city of Kermanshah said: “The leader insisted to be aware of 2019 and the years afterward. The enemies are hell-bent on carrying out conspiracies against the Islamic Republic in 2019. For years, operatives of the global arrogance have carried out plots against the Islamic Republic of Iran for years, seeking to bring an end to this Islamic state.”
It is crystal clear the depth of the crisis that has engulfed the Iranian regime in its entirety and the fear they have of an organized resistance movement spreading across the country and the resistance units associated to the PMOI/MEK.
This movement has become such a weight on the regime’s shoulders that Khamenei was forced to refer to it by using the term “enemy” over 20 times in his remarks.
More than all other officials, Khamenei is fully aware of this crisis that is spreading throughout Iran’s society. There are crises threatening his regime with all solutions leading to accelerating the regime’s overthrow.
On the other hand, the Iranian people are reaching their tolerance threshold regarding the regime’s cruelty. Making matters far worse for the regime is the presence of an organized resistance movement that is dedicated to overthrowing the mullahs’ apparatus in its entirety. The PMOI/MEK showed a portion of its power during the Dec/Jan and August uprisings.
This is exactly why Khamenei and his representatives across the country are increasingly concerned about overthrow plots in 2019 and are pathetically resorting to “warning therapy” to prolong the life of their regime for maybe just another day.

WATCH: Iran workers dress in burial clothes protest, chant against the regime

Ramadan al-Saadi, Al Arabiya EnglishMonday, 10 December 2018
Text size A A A
Workers at Iran’s Ahwaz steel factory took to the streets on Monday to protest while wearing Islamic burial clothes in a symbolic gesture of their worsening financial and psychological conditions. 

According to local sources, the protestors walked in Ahwaz streets chanting against the regime until they reached governmental institutions where they continued to protest.

Media reports said protestors also chanted against the deteriorating situation of the steel company and against not receiving their wages for several months.

The most prominent offices where the protestors gathered were that of the deputy supreme leader in Ahwaz and that of Mousavi Jazayeri, Imam al-Jomah of Ahwaz. They chanted: “The kaymakam and the governor are incompetent and negligent,” and “Neither the regime nor the government can confront the workers”.
The steel factory of Ahwaz and the Haft Tepe company have been through a long journey after transitioning from a public property to being privatized and eventually reached this deteriorating situation of corruption. For instance, the steel company of Ahwaz was put under the supervision of the judicial authority after Mahafarid Amir Khosravi, who had purchased assets in the company, was executed over corruption charges. Then the company was privatized and the workers have recently not received their salaries.

The Labor Ministry representative in the cases of the steel factory and the Haft Tepe company said on Sunday that employees have been paid two months of the delayed wages and accused Bank Melli of standing behind the company’s problems as he said that around three-quarters of the company's shares are owned by the bank which “does not care about implementing its promises,” adding that the bank has not provided the raw material and this is the main reason behind the workers’ problems.
As for not resorting to violence against the steel factory workers’ protests, some believe that the fundamentalist wing in control of security apertures want to topple Hassan Rouhani’s government by highlighting economic problems and workers’ protests.

Others however do not think this is the reason and believe that Iranian security forces fear resorting to violence since the entire world and human rights organizations are closely following up on the protests.

On Sunday, Iranian human rights organizations and social media pages said dozens from the steel company workers were arrested. According to some observers, the aim of such arrests is to prevent protests from spreading to other cities which, like Ahwaz, also suffer from inflation, high prices and economic corruption.
