In a desperate attempt yesterday, the regime's official news agency made a preposterous claim that in Khuzistan, the Mojahedin had "infiltrated" their own country "under the supervision of an Iraqi Intelligence officer." On Saturday, Jan. 4 (15 Day), IRNA reported on "a clash in western Iran and the deaths of two members of the Mojahedin." The day before, it said the Mojahedin had attacked Qasr-e Shirin.
Apparently, the regime's news agency has not yet received any reports from the Intelligence Ministry and the Security Forces' Command on the clashes in Kermanshah, Islamabad, Gilan-e Gharb, Salehabad, Mehran, Dehloran, Andimeshk, Dezful, Ahwaz, Khorramsha hr and Abadan. Also, it remains absolutely silent about the activities of the Resistance forces in Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Saravan, Bandar Abbas, Meshkinshahr, Ardebil, Mashhad, Birjand, Sanandaj, Zahedan, Zabol and dozens of other cities. The Resistance forces' activities have further escalated in the new phase of the resistance.
It seems that in addition to preparing the grounds for terrorist attacks and military operations against National Liberation Army bases, the daily dissemination of reports on the arrest and deaths of Mojahedin members and sympathizers in Iran and their at tribution to Iraq by the regime's news agency, are aimed at putting up a hollow show of force to boost the morale of the regime's demoralized forces.
In mid-December (first week of Persian month Day), following the popular uprisings in various cities of Kermanshah province and on the eve of Rafsanjani's visit to the cities of Ilam, Mehran, Dehloran, Mousian, Abdanan and Ivan-e Gharb, the social climate has been very tense in the western parts of Iran and the forces of popular resistance had to rise to their duties. In the course of these clashes, a number of Mojahedin and forces of popular resistance were slain and the wave of extensive arrests in west ern Iran continues.
It was not without reason, that on Jan. 2 (13 Day), Tehran radio reported that Rafsanjani "met with the forces of Bassij before he left Ilam province on Thursday evening." The radio also reported that earlier in the presence of Rafsanjani, "the garrison a nd headquarters of Ilam's Security Zone began operating and at the same time, the district and regional headquarters of Ilam and the border stations of Gomrok, Halali Shomali, Shoor Shirin, Nahr-e Anbar, Bayat-e Dow, Mehran, Dehloran and the Security Stat ion in Qu'ar were inaugurated."
It should be noted that contrary to the claims of the mullahs' SAVAK and the bogus news disseminated by the regime's press and news agency, no Mojahedin members were arrested or slain last week in western Iran.
