Every Nov. 4, the Iranian regime buses tens of thousands of schoolchildren from around the country to Tehran to commemorate the assault on the U.S. Embassy in 1979, when 52 U.S. diplomats were taken hostage.
The embassy attack and the subsequent 444-day hostage crisis were called “a second revolution” by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, because they led to the collapse of the moderate post-revolutionary government that was seeking to repair ties with the United States and the West.
MPG sources inside Iran and abroad successfully identified a member of the IRGC Mafia. He played a key role in smuggling petroleum in and out of Iraq when it was under sanctions during Saddam Hussein’s reign. Also, he was a key player in IRGC's illegal procurements through front businesses. He has compiled vast wealth as a result.
The following is a small sample of corruption in the Islamic Republic regime, and the pillage and plunder of the country’s resources by government agents.
Show trials continued in Tehran today of hundreds of pro-democracy supporters arrested during the
demonstrations of the past month, as Ahmadinejad took the oath of office for the second time. Choosing Aug.5 for his swearing in date showed particular hubris, since it is the anniversary of the 1906 constitutional revolution, whose freedoms have been abolished by Ahmadinejad and his IRGC regime.

In an apparent bow to the Obama administration’s policy of engaging the Iran regardless of its brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy movement, the Voice of America refused to air an interview with an opposition leader who returned to Iran in early July to take part in anti-regime demonstrations.
The leader risked his life to add his voice to the resistance in Iran, only to be shunned by the VOA, who stated that they were worried about legal issues, because the dissident had crossed Iran’s borders illegally.
Protests on Thursday commemorating the 10th anniversary of the student uprising at Tehran University in 1999 drew multitudes of demonstrators in at least nine cities across Iran, in open defiance of regime security forces.
The regime put on a tough front on the eve of the protests, declaring it would quash with violence any efforts to hold unauthorized demonstrations, even if they were nonviolent.
