London, 30 Jun - The Former European Parliament Vice-President Alejo Vidal-Quadras has warned that the West needs to be more vigilant against Iranian propaganda, which depicts the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism as an ally in the War on Terror.

Vidal-Quadras, president of the Brussels-based International Committee in Search of Justice (ISJ), wrote that the Iranian Regime often tries to paint its actions, like launching missiles towards the Deir-es-Zour region of eastern Syria, as justified in the war on terror, but they aren’t.

American sources said the missiles fired at the US Navy destroyer USS Mason by Houthis rebels in the Gulf of Aden, were probably provided by Iran.

This failed missile attack occurred at the same time that Iranian news reports revealed that Iranian-made ballistic missile, Zalzal 3, were launched by the rebels in Yemen in order to hit Saudi targets.

London, 29 Jun - In Iran’s recent sham elections, the Iranian Regime declared Hassan Rouhani as the victor and many Western media outlets fell over themselves to declare a victory for moderates over extremism.

But Rouhani is no moderate. He used violent, extremist speech in his campaign. He executed nearly 4,000 people in his first term, including juveniles and political prisoners. He supported a crackdown on the rights of the Iranian people. He was a senior security officer during the 1988 massacre which killed 30,000 political prisoners, many of whom were supporters of the main political opposition the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK).
