The liberal media in the West has been trying to pass off new Iranian President Hassan Rohani as a '
moderate.' But the more we look into Rohani's record, the more we see that he's just another Islamist Iranian cleric - and a pretty nasty one at that. Washington Free Beacon's Alana Goodman reports on Rohani's involvement in the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires that
murdered 85 people.
Former Iranian intelligence official Abolghasem Mesbahi, who defected
from Iran in the late 1990s, testified that the decision to launch the
attack was made within a special operations committee connected to the
powerful Supreme National Security Council in August 1993.
According to the 2006 indictment, Mesbahi testified that Rowhani, who
was then serving as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council,
was also a member of the special committee when it approved the AMIA
bombing.
“With regard to the committee’s role in the decision to carry out the
AMIA attack, Moghadam stated that this decision was made under the
direction of Ali Khamenei, and that the other members of the committee
were [then-Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi] Rafsanjani, Mir Hejazi,
Rowhani, Velayati and Fallahijan,” the indictment says.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei led the special committee, according to
the indictment, and Khamenei and Rafsanjani made the ultimate decision
to go ahead with the attack.
And while the Western media is falling all over itself to declare Rohani a 'moderate,' his own son certainly didn't feel that way. Tom Gross blogs a report from the London pan-Arabic daily
al-Sharq al-Awsat that
Rohani's son committed suicide due to Rohani's extremism.
The leading London-based pan-Arab newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat reports
today that Iranian President-Elect Hassan Rouhani’s eldest son took his
own life in 1992, in protest at his father’s involvement with Iran’s
murderous Islamic regime and his father’s close ties to Iran’s Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“I hate your government, your lies, your corruption, your religion,
your double acts and your hypocrisy,” wrote the future president’s son
in his suicide note, according to the Saudi-owned paper. “I am ashamed
to live in such an environment where I’m forced to lie to my friends
each day, telling them that my father isn’t part of all of this. Telling
them my father loves this nation, whereas I believe this to be not
true. It makes me sick seeing you, my father, kiss the hand of
Khamenei.”
The official Iranian press, which is controlled by Khamenei, has
admitted that Rouhani’s eldest son committed suicide in 1992 but the
regime’s media denied it was a political act.
Some moderate.
