Nine Phantom and Tiger fighter-bombers of the Khomeini regime's Air Force raided yesterday two basecamps of the Iranian National Liberation Army in Iraq.
The Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi sent separate letters to the U.N. Secretary General, members of the Security Council and leaders of Islamic and Arab nations, and urged their condemnation of the clerical regime's terrorist act of aggression.
The resolution to the worldwide demonstrations of Iranians read in part: "The policy of appeasement and continuation of diplomatic and trade ties with this regime, under whatever pretext, embolden the regime in the suppression of the people of Iran, export of fundamentalism and terrorism, and violations of human rights, and run counter to the highest interests of the people of Iran....
"We urge all governments, particularly the member states of the European Union and permanent members of the UN Security Council, to condemn yesterday's air strikes on the NLA basecamps and adopt binding measures, including an arms and oil embargo, to punish the Iranian regime...
"The Khomeini regime and all of its internal factions are the sworn enemies of the people of Iran who demand the overthrow of this regime in its entirety, " the resolution read.
