The Central Council of the Green Party of Iran
conference
The Central
Council of The Green Party of Iran conference was held on Saturday,
15 December 2007. During this meeting, the topics discussed by the party’s
Central Council addressed and reviewed the most urgent political, social
and environmental issues in Iran, the behaviour and the prospects of
the Islamic Republic Regime, various manifestations of the appeasement
policy and the dynamics of the appeasement apparatus, the recent report
by the US intelligence organisations otherwise known as “National Intelligence
Estimate” (NIE) and the massive €22b contract between Austria and the
Islamic Republic. The policies and the programme of action adopted by
the Green Party of Iran under the present circumstances were finalised.
The most important
issues and analysis which were unanimously agreed upon by the members
of the Council are as follows:
1- The Islamic Republic is a Clero-Fascist regime and the Fascist essence
of the regime must constitute the basis of any political stance taken
in relation with any topic connected with the regime. Based upon this
principle, unfolding the Clero-Fascist essence of the ruling regime
of Iran in simple
terms and spreading the concept amongst the Iranian organisations, individuals
and parties as well as their International counterparts was set forth.
2-The means of confronting such endemic, regional and global threat of
Clero-Fascism is the formation of a Front which constitutes the
most number of Iranian and International forces and individuals.
The monster of Fascism at present time which challenges the world
peace by means of leaning on religion and Islam, can only be brought
to its knees by the unequivocal co-operation and unity of the
Iranian and international forces. Along the formation of this
anti Clero-Fascist Front, one must welcome the opportunity of
presence of any organisation, force and state who endeavours to
stand against the will of rulers of Tehran. There are no obstacles against the presence
of any individual, organisation or force, whether Iranian or international,
which strives to overthrow the Clero-Fascist regime alongside
the people of Iran.
3-At present time however, the main impediment in the way of an effective
encounter with the ruling regime in Iran
is the policy of appeasement and the vast dynamics of the appeasement
apparatus. The appeasement policy is adopted not only by the foreign
countries, but is also in operation by many Iranian individuals
and organisations within and in the periphery of the rulers of
Tehran.
The formation of the anti Clero-Fascism Front is achieved through
the decisive, vigorous and well organised struggle with the aid
of the progressive global forces at international level. The
measure of progressive allegiance at this point in time is directly
proportional to the degree of practical and conceptual confrontation
with Clero-Fascism and the appeasement apparatus which acts as
the main benefactor of fascism.
The protest action against the Austrian
and the European Union’s €22b worth contract which was actively
responded by the Green Party of Iran is one such purposeful projects
which not only targets the appeasement apparatus between the European
Union and the Islamic Republic, but also serves as one of the
basis of formation of the anti Clero-Fascist Front alongside the
European progressive forces. Taking part in Anti-Fascist conferences such
as the symposium held at Vienna University and other similar meetings
by the members of our party are considered as parts of our efforts
in paving the way toward the formation of the anti Clero-Fascist
Front.
The Green Party of Iran believes
that organising social, academic and cultural protest actions
against Clero-Fascism in different countries alongside their progressive
forces in these countries would guarantee the effectiveness of
international sanctions and resolutions against the Islamic Republic.
Such grassroots international coalitions and movements at all
levels such as progressive international associations, Universities
and circles would act as elements of pressure over those states
whom due to enormous economic gains refuse to stand against the
Islamic Republic of Iran. Moreover, these collective actions would
guarantee the consistency of policies adopted by those states
that are in favour of exerting pressure on the Islamic Republic
under the current circumstances. The people of Iran
require the cooperation of the international community in order
to defeat Clero-Fascism.
The
perception which believes that other countries must abstain in their
policies with regards to the Islamic Republic regime is derogatory.
The international forces, parties and states can either assist the Iranian
people in their quest to overthrow the regime, or stand against it.
Remaining neutral during an era when fascism poses an international
threat is meaningless and impractical.
4-The Green Party of Iran once again reiterates the proper political stance
of defending the Jews and the people of Israel
against the fascist threats of the Islamic Republic and calls
upon all the opposition forces to defend all those threatened
by the ruling regime, such as the people and country of Israel.
The Anti-Semitism and anti Israeli policies of the Islamic Republic
have been and remain one of the ideological pillars of the ruling
regime in Iran since its
establishment. Overlooking this ideological perception of the
regime has been one of the missing links amongst the opposition
forces struggles against the regime within the past two decades.
This missing link has been the cause of deviation of the Iranian
opposition forces in their international relations for the benefit
of the Iranian people’s movement.
5-The recent report of USA’s 16 intelligence organisations (NIE) about
Islamic Republic’s nuclear arms project has caused profound impedance
on pressures over the ruling regime in Iran. This report has also issued
a new lease of life to the appeasement apparatus in order to justify
their appeasement policies.
The
Green Party of Iran regards this report, which since its publication
has received many different interpretations, worthless from an intelligence
point of view. This report can only be evaluated as the by-product of
the political differences prevailing within the US
administration, or USA’s
State Department’s evasion to confront Clero-Fascism, or can be seen
as the political skirmishes between the two rival political parties
preparing for the US elections in
November 2008. Therefore, any comment or analysis over the credibility
of the intelligence sections of this report which claims to have been
acquired by listening devices from the military officers of the Islamic
Regime or any other source remains questionable. All the political conclusions
drawn from this report point to the undeniable facts that the motives
behind it were other than mere intelligence update.
As stated by John Bolton, “…many involved in drafting and approving the NIE were not intelligence
professionals but refugees from the State Department, brought
into the new central bureaucracy of the director of national intelligence.
These officials had relatively benign views of Iran's nuclear intentions five and
six years ago; now they are writing those views as if they were
received wisdom from on high. In fact, these are precisely the
policy biases they had before, recycled as "intelligence
judgments.” (Washington Post, 6 December 2007).
John Bolton’s comments are evaluated
from the point of view of the fact that he served as the US Ambassador to the United Nations, and also has
held other posts within the US
administration and has a wealth of information about many other
opinions and appeasement policy advocates within the US State
Department. Dismissing his comments merely on the basis that he
belongs to the school of “Neo-Cons” by those in favour of the
appeasement and engagement policy with the rulers of Iran
has no logical basis.
Henry Kissinger, as an advocate of
negotiations and opposed to the “Neo-Cons” school of thought,
also published an article in Washington Post, 13 December 2007,
under the heading “Why Spying and Policymaking Don't Mix”,
evaluated this report as one with political connotation and its
intelligence value as questionable.
In any case and for whatever reason, this report
has granted the Islamic Republic yet another opportunity to prove
its allegations on peaceful means of its nuclear projects.
This is subject to regime’s absolute openness
and transparency in its nuclear activities in the eyes of the
IAEA.
The Green Party of Iran proclaims that the Islamic
Republic has not abandoned its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons
even for one day. If they have closed down one site, they have
immediately resumed their activities on another. As stated by
Mohsen Rezaie, the former chief of “Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps”,
the decree to attain nuclear weapons was issued by Khomeini as
the supreme leader and the founder of the Islamic Republic and
this is irreversible. Based on the existing documents and evidences
(Many exposed by the Iranian opposition and some by the IAEA),
the Islamic Republic is seamlessly on its way to test its first
Atomic Bomb according to three evident facts; enrichment of Uranium,
Hard Water processing plant and Laser technology projects. Therefore,
despite the aims of the report of 16 US intelligence agencies
which serve as temporarily granting a breathing space to the Islamic
Republic, the situation has become even more complex. The Islamic
Regime has gained yet another short term opportunity. The option
of retreating form acquiring nuclear weapons would ultimately
mean suspending the enrichment activities and fascism disintegrates
in the state of retreat and this is the best outcome for the people
of Iran.
However, unfortunately, the Tehran regime has demonstrated
its ever increasing impudence and progress over the years which
would lead to the probable option of the Revolutionary Guards
Corps continuing with the project which would ultimately lead
to disastrous outcome as the regime would make use of the attained
opportunity in order to achieve its nuclear ambitions.
Angelika Beer, defence
spokeswoman of the parliamentary fraction of the Green party of
Germany ahead of a group of European missionaries visiting Iran
and her ludicrous and entirely contradictory report of her meetings
with regime’s individuals and authorities along with China’s U-turn
on approving the 3rd UN sanctions on the Islamic Republic
exactly one day prior to the publication of this report, are all
examples of impedance caused by the publication of this report
on lifting the pressure from the rulers of Iran.
6-The Green Party of
Iran supports the struggles of the freedom loving students throughout
Iran and will make use of all its
resources at international level to campaign for the freedom of
all detained students by the suppressive Islamic regime.
The party believes that
the students’ movement along with the women’s and the workers
movements ought to play a decisive role in the formation of the
anti Clero-Fascist Front. The outlook of the anti Clero-Fascist
front paints a victorious picture of social movements such as
the students’ movement.
