The Defeat of a Policy
Written by Alejo VidalQuadras on 25 October 2019.
A new balance between the Iranian regime and the international community, particularly Europe, formed following the trip to New York by the regime's President Hassan Rouhani. The three EU powers held the Iranian regime responsible for the attack against the Saudi Aramco oil installations and emphasized: “It is clear to us that Iran bears responsibility for this attack.
There is no other plausible explanation.” Yet m...

Journalism at the Service of Democracy or a Weapon Against Democracy
Norwegian DN correspondent and the Iranian Mojahedin
There is a common understanding in Europe that
freedom of speech and the free press are the indispensable pillars for, and the
greatest guarantee of, democracy. Dictatorships also use the press to
consolidate their rule. But when Western media serves dictatorships, it poses
the greatest threat to democracy. This is a phenomenon that we have experienced
multiple times since the Second World War. One of the bitter experiences in
this regard ...

Meet the “Moderates” the EU Is Trying to Empower in Iran By Alejo Vidal-Quadras
The appointment of Ebrahim Raisi as head of Iran’s judiciary is the latest proof that the country’s moderates and hardliners are united in the main goal of the regime: its survival through repression at home and export of terrorism abroad.
Recently, two events that have taken place at the highest level of the Islamic Republic of Iran have once again demonstrated the failed strategy and the massive misreading of Tehran by the European Union. Earlier this month, we witnessed the farce enacted ...

New Propaganda Reflects Iran’s Old Obsession with Democratic Opposition – OpEd by Alejo Vidal-Quadras
Recently, the German magazine Der Spiegel published an article on the leading Iranian opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The article repeated a laundry list of lies and baseless accusations against the group’s “war footing” and its treatment of the more than 2,000 members now living in Albania. These accusations have followed the PMOI members from their previous residence of Camp Ashraf, from which they were forced to flee under pressure from Iraqi militan...

ISJ Press Release – Is Spiegelgate the Western press’ worst scandal?
Press release- 7 January 2019
Is Spiegelgate the Western press’ worst scandal?
What about Iran’s misinformation campaign?
Revelations of the deceit of journalist Claas Relotius, an editor of Germany’s prestigious Der Spiegel magazine, shocked advocates of the free press. It has now become apparent that most of the Relotius’s 60 reports for which he had won several journalism awards were based on lies. The German Journalists’ Union DJU called the case “the biggest fraud scandal in journ...

“If you know the truth and call it a lie, you are a criminal” – Alejo Vidal-Quadras reply to The Guardian
By Alejo Vidal Quadras
The Guardian’s November 9th piece, “Terrorists, cultists – or champions of Iranian democracy? The wild wild story of the MEK,” is a disgraceful example of western media serving the interests of the religious, terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran.
Devoting three pages of a paper once admired as the voice of dissidents and freedom fighters to a barrage of stale and absolutely false allegations is a stain on Europe’s free press. Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebb...
