Fars News: "Senior MP: Iran Holds Documents Proving Baha’is Spying for Mossad, CIA"

More about the shadowy group behind the BBC:

The Baha'i minority has been running spying operations for Israel's notorious secret service Mossad and the US spy agency, CIA, and Iran has irrefutable evidence and documents to prove this claim, a senior lawmaker said.

Chairman of the parliament’s Cultural Commission Ahmad Salek made the remarks in an interview with Didehban Center in Tehran on Tuesday.

“I declare very explicitly that Baha’ism is an espionage organization which gathers intelligence for the CIA and Mossad and there are abundant documents to prove this,” he added.

Although members of the Baha’i sect have admitted to their crimes in various cases, the West, specially the United States, claims that Iran has violated their human rights due to its attempts to clamp down on the cult.

"We (as the state) offer a variety of services to the Baha’i sect in Iran and respect them as human beings, but not as insiders, spies, or a political grouplet supported by Britain and Israel to cause disturbance in Iran," Iran's former Prosecutor General Qorban-Ali Dorri-Najafabadi said in 2009.

According to Dorri-Najafabadi, there is irrefutable evidence that many adherents of the Baha’i sect are in close contact with the enemies of the Iranian nation and have strong links to the Zionist regime.

"We have always showed great kindness to the Baha’i citizens in Iran. We just oppose such relations," Dorri-Najafabadi explained.

SANA (Syria): "President al-Assad expresses Syria's support to President Maduro's approach in running Venezuela"

This means so much:

President Bashar al-Assad expressed Syria's support to the approach of the Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro in running Venezuela "that he draws from the world heritage principles and the historical legacy of Latin America's great leaders."

In a letter he sent to the Venezuelan President on Wednesday, President al-Assad expressed the Syrian people's solidarity with President Maduro and the Venezuelan people in the face of the "ferocious onslaught that is replayed today in several safe and stable countries, in an attempt to whip up chaos, spread foreign hegemony and seize the riches of these countries and their sensitive geopolitical positions."

President al-Assad voiced Syria's support to the "road of peace charted by President Maduro in Venezuela," wishing him success in shouldering the uphill tasks assigned to him at a critical stage the world is passing through."

President al-Assad emphasized, in his letter, confidence in the victory of people's will in determining the future of their own countries.

Victory is assured!

PressTV: Kevin Barrett on the "Israelification" of the US, the "Zionist coup d'état of September 11th, 2001," Philip Weiss, and lots more

It's long and crazy, but these three paragraphs will give you a taste:

[...] There was nothing random or unplanned about the Zionist coup d'état of September 11th, 2001 which imposed near-total Zionist control on America. According to Stanley Hilton and Francis Boyle – both of whom studied beside neoconservative guru Leo Strauss at the University of Chicago during the 1960s – Strauss and his disciples, including roommates and Strauss intimates Paul Wolfowitz and Abram Shulsky, were even then planning to impose a sort of Zio-Nazi fascism on America through a 9/11 style event.

One neoconservative Zio-Nazi, Edward Luttwak, actually wrote a doctoral dissertation outlining the Straussian plan to overthrow democracy through a 9/11-style stealth coup d'état. Luttwak's dissertation was published in 1968 as Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook. Italian journalist Mauricio Blondet, in his book September 11th: A Coup d'État (2002) explains that the neoconservatives used Luttwak's Coup d'État as their step-by-step guide to staging 9/11.

Israeli’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu celebrated 9/11 with the ecstatic outburst: “It's very good!” Then-Israeli-Prime-Minister Ariel Sharon crowed: “We Jews control America, and the Americans know it!” (Israeli spy agency) Mossad kingpin Mike Harari allegedly boasted of orchestrating 9/11 at the celebratory party he threw in Bangkok, Thailand, immediately after the attack on America, according to eyewitness Dmitri Khalezov.

PressTV: "70 MPs seek to question Zarif over Holocaust remarks"

This is reminiscent of L'affaire d'Masha'ei. Saying something sane about Israel and the Holocaust is a very bad career move in the Islamic Republic:

Seventy Iranian lawmakers have signed a letter to question Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif over his positions vis-a-vis the Holocaust and the Israeli regime.

“The signatures for this question have reached 70,” senior Iranian lawmaker Mohammad Javad Karimi Qoddousi, told Fars News Agency in a Saturday interview.

“The question has been sent to the Foreign Ministry and it will be reviewed in the first session of the National Security [and Foreign Policy] Committee of Majlis,” said Karimi who sits on the committee.

In the letter to the Foreign Ministry, Iranian legislators pointed to Zarif’s interview with a German TV channel in early February in which he slammed the Holocaust as a “a horrifying tragedy” that “should never occur again.”

The lawmakers also called Zarif’s remarks about Palestinians’ right to recognize Israel, as ‘passive’.

“What is the reason for the passivity in your views about the issue of the illegitimate Israeli regime and the Holocaust,” the letter asked.
