\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Rouhani striving in vain to overcome the crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n

The presence of Hassan Rouhani at the annual meeting of the UN General Assembly has turned into a dilemma within the Iranian regime<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This debate began<\/strong> arose<\/strong> when the United States as the head of the UN Security Council announced that a meeting of this council addressing Iran will be held as a side event of the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly UNGA, and will be headed chaired by Trump<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evidence suggests that in the current situation, the mullahs are stuck between bad and worse. while during the previous years, they have tried to pursue their goals by attending the UNGA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As it was announce<\/strong>d<\/strong> that the UNSC\u2019s meeting on Sep. 26 was going to be chaired by president Trump, the debates within different factions of the clerical regime fomented over Rouhani\u2019s attending UNGA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some figures such as Shariatmadari, the chief editor of state-run Keyhan daily affiliated with Khameni\u2019s faction advised Rouhani on Tuesday, Sep.11 not to attend the assembly to \u2018humiliate\u2019 the US.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>But it seems that at the end of the day they came into the conclusion that not going to New York will deepen their isolation, and takes the opportunity to haggle from them<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>To tackle their political isolation,<\/strong> the regime needs to<\/strong> attend the annual UN summit to pretend that nothing has changed in Iran after<\/strong> the re-enforcement of the sanctions<\/strong> and anti-government protests;<\/strong> and to show that the Iranian regime is still a powerful regime, hoping this could return<\/strong> the foreign companies back to the Iran\u2019s market<\/strong> or attract political support of some countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mullahs are plunged into deepest problems, but these will not be solved at UNGA, but in the streets of Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warmongering and evil policies of the regime in the Middle East has plundered and wasted the wealth and assets of the people of Iran;<\/strong> w<\/strong>hile they live in poverty, mullahs provide Bashar al-Assad with $5 to $15 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Reuter\u2019s report on Nov. 11, 2013<\/a> reveals that Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the regime, oversees an organization called the \u2018Executive Headquarters of Imam\u2019s (Khomieni) Order\u2019 having $95 billion in possession. In a tight spot where <\/strong>%<\/strong> 80<\/strong>of the people live under poverty line in Iran <\/strong>(<\/strong>and the rial vs dollar exchange rate is shocking, this money is spent for terrorism and providing paramilitary groups, proxies of Khamenei.<\/strong><\/p>\n
