AMID the ongoing outrage being perpetrated against the Palestinian people right before the very eyes of the world, which quite rightfully dominates headlines internationally, the theocratic dictatorship in Iran continues to lurch headlong from one major crisis into another.

Its governing doctrine of “political Islam” has utterly bankrupted and failed Iran and its people and continues to do so. The recent presidential “elections” charade underlines the reality that the current political and socioeconomic model is completely unreformable.

Over 40 years on from the Islamists’ hijacking and defeat of the Popular 1979 Revolution, which ousted the Shah’s monarchical dictatorship, the theocratic regime now presides over a situation of ruin for most ordinary Iranians.
