We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
We continue the program with reporting on the UN-backed tribunal into the huge bombing that killed the Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri in 2005 and the part that the Syrian regime and the Hezbollah played in his assassination.
Later we will look at the on-going money laundering operations by the Islamic republic regime and how certain peopleabuse the bank loans in Iran to sustain their illicit businesses and what is the role of Iran’s Bank Saderat in Dubai in this matter.
In one instance of this illicit business the people involved invite those merchants who import tyres to Iran from Dubai to a friendly dinner meeting and offer them hundreds of millions of tomans of loan on the condition to give them a ten percent share of the profits.
Once the poor merchant agrees to the deal he is given a cheque to cash but when calling at the bank he is arrested on fraud charges and his assets confiscated!
Inside Iran itself the spokesperson for the judiciary, the cleric Mohseni Ejeie is the most corrupt individual involved in these scams. And it comes as no surprise that this most corrupt man is also the deputy of Amoli Larijani, the chief judge, who is himself, another corrupt mullah within the Islamic republic regime leadership.
Ejeie has bribed the disgraced and corruptIranian billionaire businessman Babak Zanjani for millions of dollars to commute his death penalty. He had already bribed Shahram Jazayeri for millions of dollars but carried his death sentence because Jazayeri had built tens of small factories but would not have paid any ransom to the mafia gang that operates in Iran’s judiciary.
We will follow the program with a television report of the aftermath of the regime’s bombing of the offices of the Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in which 14 people were killed on Saturday.
Looking back at the year of the Islamic revolution, it seems as though everyone in Iran was suffering from some kind of hallucination then. The late Shah had said at the time that he intends to step aside when his heir becomes an adult but will continue to advise him to lead Iran into further progress.
It is a pity that the Shah did not involvepeople like the former Prime Minister Ali Amini or the late Bakhtiar in hisplan and we ended up with people like Hassan Rouhani as the “president of Iran” who was then a simple mullah whose preoccupation was to attend prayers in alocal mosque.
