It has only been a few months since Der Spiegel magazine officially apologized to its readers for a number of baseless stories by its reporter Claas Relotius whom it subsequently fired. However, a new set of allegations in another article goes to prove that Relotius was just one of Der Spiegel daydreamers. Der Spiegel systematically and deplorably violates the principles of professional media, including freedom of speech and impartiality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fact number 1: The suspicious timing of Der Spiegel\u2019s fake\nallegations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Indisputably, the regime ruling Iran is at its worst socio, economic and political state since its inception 40 years ago. The uprisings, protests and demonstrations that began in December 2017 continue unabated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By the incentivizing activities of \u201cresistance units<\/a>\u201d (supporters of People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran<\/a>) composed of young men and women, hope is taking the place of rampant fear and terror amongst Iranian people. Regime\u2019s leaders have repeatedly stated that MEK\/PMOI<\/a> is their most prominent existential threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Concurrently, bankrolling regime\u2019s proxies in the region\nfrom the pocket of Iranian people has created abhorrence within the Iranian\nsociety.

In the face of regime\u2019s terrorism abroad and warmongering, the west progressively moves toward abandoning its failed policy of appeasement. The conference on the Middle East in Warsaw held on February 13-14 and the consensus reached by over 60 countries testifies to this fact. Decades long call by the Iranian Resistance, including demonstration and acts by the resistance during this conference, once again called on the international community to adopt a firm policy toward the main state sponsor of terrorism in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the president-elect<\/a> of NCRI, emphasized in her broadcast message to the Warsaw Iranian rally on February 13:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
