Ali Akbar Velayati, the mullahs' Foreign Minister, however, reaffirmed the regime's previous stances and impudently appealed for the imposition of restrictions on the activities of the Iranian Resistance in European countries.
Last week, in an international seminar, representatives from 20 countries, also issued a declaration, calling for the retraction of critical dialogue and the adoption of a decisive policy against the mullahs' anti-human regime.
Velayati's desperate remarks, a rehash of previous comments by him and other leaders of the regime, clearly reflect the clerics' ire at the Iranian Resistance's credibility and stature in the international community. This is all the more evident in view of the failure of the mullahs' efforts to prevent the unprecedented gathering of 25,000 Iranians in London's Earls Court last week in support of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance's President-elect.
The Iranian Resistance recalls Khomeini's heirs' deceptive ploys in dealing with their international interlocutors in previous years. In view of the mullahs' persistence in exporting terrorism and fundamentalism, meddling in the affairs of the neighboring countries and opposition to the Middle East peace process, there is no room for procrastination in retracting critical dialogue and adopting a decisive policy, including trade sanctions, against this medieval regime.
