API Statements are due to profound political Naivety (Saadeh-Low-hi)


To blame Israel as scapegoat for Geopolitical Illiteracy and Ignorance with backward third-world-mentality. (Andisheh-haa-yeh Aghab-maan-deh, va Ja-haan-eh Seh-vo-mi).

Just as medieval (Ayatol-la-haa-yeh bisavaad vatan-foroo-sh, gho-roo-neh-vos-taa-ie, va dal-gha-keh ajnabi) foreign puppet Traitor Ayatollahs' Illegitimate Regime Occupying Iran today with the help of Neocolonial Powers.

That have IRI as Their PROTECTORATE Regime (Regime Jumhuri Eslami yek Mos-Ta- mar-reh Navin, va Tah-tol-Hemaa-Yeh Ajnabi-e Es-te'- maar-gar-raan Engeliss, Europe va Russia.

(Sha-bi-he-eh Sheihkh Neshin haa- Akhound Ali Khamenei vatan-foroosh khaaen nowkar Engeliss, mesleh Sultaan-eh Oman) va Sher-kat-haa-yeh Nafti, since 1979 plot, maintained by their BBC Persian, Radio Farda, Iran Int. TV, va Manoto,... Propaganda Machines in Favor of their Puppet Ayatollahs' Regime.

Their puppet mercenaries,the Pasdaran (IRGC Terrorist Militia) and ignorant illiterate Bassiji savages, with less than 2% supporters inside Iran, of this illegitimate regime, they blame everything on Israel.

Typical scapegoat for their own Geopolitical Naivety, and Political Illiteracy (as Kurosh Erfaani) with Third-World backward and brainwashed mentality.

“Iranian TVs Fake News: Creation, Process and Distribution!”


Ahreeman, super analysis.

Whatever these wanna be TVs are doing is damaging to Jamshid Sharmahd’s legacy and history of battle with IRI regime. Some of them flat ignore the event. Some twist the event. Some bring idiots as political experts to comment on the events but these experts have bird brains and clueless about the events. Some of them invite professional commentator journalists but these journalists are legends in their own minds with agenda of bashing Jamshid Sharmahd.

Whatever he was and is, we must respect his fights with IRI. We must not spew rubbish and we must not lie to save him from prison because Mullahs are much smarter than these cheeseballs in Los Angeles give them credit for. This is beside the fact that many of these cheeseballs in Tehrangeles are also on the IRI payroll and we know it and they know that we know it!

I like the way you compared the American mainstream media garbage with the Iranian mainstream media garbage, same thing but in two languages! Politically correct fake news all the way.

I wish your analysis does not hit deaf ears and walnut brains incapable of process!
A day you haven't learned a new, is a day lost!

Victory is to Believers

Bismi Allah al Rahman al Rahim
(In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful)

Bismi Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei

In the name of Hazrati Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei
Moula Ali, Seyed Ali, Rahbar Ali
Our Leader, Representative of Allah on Earth and Leader of Shi’a Ummah
I begin

Qur’an Karim teaches us:

“Qol Ya Ayoha Al Kafirun” (Say O, Disbelievers)
(Qur’an: 109 Al Kafirun: 1)

“Qad Aflaha Al Mu’minun” (Succesful are the Believers)
(Qur’an: 23 Al Mu’minun: 1)

Qol Ya Ayoha Al Kafirun

O, Infidels,

Have you seen the glory of Allah? Allah provides us with great victory over disbelievers. A great Kafir has been arrested but in the glory of Imam and in the court of Allah, he is nothing, only a lowly dog.

I am speaking to all of you Al Mufsidun, Al Murtadin, Al Mushrakin, Al Kafirun, Al Malounin, Al Khavarij, Al Ajanib, Al Munafiqun, Al Barzakhiyoun, Al Muharibun,

That lowly dog, “Al Mufsid fil al Ard” va “Al Martaudu mae Allah”, that Kafir, that maloun was arrested and brought to seek his destiny in the court of Allah. Judgement is here and upon him, that lowly dog kafir named Jamshid Sharmahd the fire worshiper will now answer for his crimes.

That Kafir to Muqadasat va Islam will now answer to the highest power.

Once he was roaming free in America and around the world, now he is confined to a cell in dark corner, begging for forgiveness. All Great Satan and Evil Empires abandoned him like a piece of trash. The only resource left is beg for forgiveness for crimes and terrorism.

That is the end to fire worshipers and sun worshipers.

Praise be upon Allah, the gracious and merciful

Have you seen the glory of Allah?
Have you learned from this story?
Return to Allah, return to Imam, come back to believers, come back to Iran, return to Islam, Allah is forgiving, Imam is forgiving, Hazrati Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei will forgive you if you Towbah and be regretful for your crimes. Ultimate forgiveness comes from Allah and you must face Allah afterlife but for now Imam can be forgiving if you return to Islam.

They say Jamshid Sharmahd was a journalist, but he was a terrorist!
They say Ahreeman is a journalist, but he is a criminal agitator and collaborator!
Who is a true journalist?
I am a true journalist. I serve the Umma’ al Muslemin in IRIB, I report the truth, I roam the globe, I gather the news, I serve the people, I speak the truth. I am a journalist. You are not journalists.

O, listen to the voice of truth,

Once again, you are given a chance to change your ways, seek the light of Allah and witness the glory of our Moula Ali, Rahbar Ali, Seyed Ali Khamenei, grab this chance and return to Islam.

Vallahi, I will help you and protect you and save you and put the good words for you, take you in person to face your destiny in Iran. I recommend you for forgiveness at the service of Imam. But your heart must be pure and clean. Beg for forgiveness. Come back to Iran, come back to home. Come back to service of Imam, Iran and Islam. Come and kiss his hand and beg for forgiveness.

Vallahi, if you disobey and continue your evil ways, you will be dealt with. Vallah Vallah, I swear to Allah, his wrath will be epic.

My word is with you Mufsid, Murtad, Mushrik, Kafir, Maloun, Mokharib, Motikabir, Eltiqati, Safsatigar, Muharib, Evil Ahreeman,

Face the truth, there is no future but return to home, love home, love of Iran.

I am more Iranian than you. I maybe Syrian but my home is Syria yet my heart is in Iran where my Rahbar Seyed Ali Khamenei resides. You have put the leash of Great Satan on your neck and served Kafirun. I offer you salvation of Allah. Return, make a great return, come home from exile on your own before you will be brought back by good deeders of Allah.

You are lost in hell, return to Allah and Iran.

The goal is spread of Islam and the destiny is Islam. It is all about Islam and truth. I roam around the world as the soldier of Islam. For upcoming months, I will be busy at home Syria, I will be there and then on to Iraq. But if you change your ways and seek my assistance. I will in person come to the land of Great Satan, accept your forgiveness, in person, take you back home to the foot of Imam where you can beg for forgiveness. I put the good word of Allah and make sure you will be forgiven. I help you see the light of Allah and Imam. I help you as fellow Muslim. Ask for help and I will be there for you. Change and see the salvation.

In a few months I will return to Iran, I expect you to think and return with me. I am here for you and I will help you to be forgiven. Come on your own. Change ways. You will be forgiven.

Stop spreading lies
Start spreading good words of Allah

“Qad Aflaha Al Mu’minun” (Succesful are the Believers)

In the name of Moula Ali, Seyed Ali Khamenei, our Grand Spiritual Leader and our Spirit of Allah on Earth, I will end this letter

Just as medieval (Ayatol-la-haa-yeh bisavaad vatan-foroo-sh, gho-roo-neh-vos-taa-ie>


A Jew is a Jew, doesn’t matter from what country, doesn’t matter from Iran and it doesn’t matter from what ideology. A Jew will forget his ideology, nationality, home, faith and everything else. At last, the only thing the Jew care about is Israel because he is a Jew. You can never change the Jew. The Jew care about 2 things: 1 is money and 2 is Israel.

Haji Joohoodeh was a mote’aseb saltanat talab, heavy duty monarchist, pro API and Zede Akhoond, Anti Mullah, right?

API insults Israel and connect them to IRI, what does Haj Joohoodeh say? Haji Joohoodeh goes against API and monarchy! Haji Joohoodeh forgets about Iran. Haji Joohoodeh connects API to Mullahs and illiterate Middle Easterners! Haji Joohoodeh defends Israel. He says API is the same as mullahs illiterate.

Money and Israel are holy for the Jews. The Jew has no faith in anything, any nationality, any ideology and even any religion but only faith to money and Israel. Jew is a Jew and always been a Jew. Haji Joohoodeh proved it right here in IPC.

Remember the Rabi in san diego country forgot Judaism, religion and congregation for money. They caught him making deals for friends and congregation on tax cheats and illegal trades? He made millions of dollars off the deals. Jew only knows money.

Haji Joohoodeh I love you man.

Haji joohoodeh, have you considered my offer to take you to mental ward asylum on me? All expenses paid by yours truly. I chaperon you with plane to best mental hospital in Israel. You are getting worst every day. Now you talk mozakhraf and maghlateh bar mizani. You lost your chain of thought, you write nonsense and your theories are becoming more crazy. Kheyli mozakhraf migi Haji Joohoodeh!

Dad ham mizani, chera dad mizani? Why you shout loud (cap letters), we can hear you. No need to shout, people still ignore your mozakhraf posts!

Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha

I’m at your service free of charge. I fly you to best mental hospital in Tel Aviv.

Or is it the Reunion of the Franco and Ciccio?
Maybe the 2 Teflan-e Moslem, Yadollah and Abdollah Comedy Relief?

How come everyone wants to save Ahreeman’s soul and physical body but not me?
Maybe I want to be saved too! I want to see the light of Allah, become a good obedient chadori or Lachaqi housewife siqeh and go to Iran for pilgrimage to Imam Khomeini’s Shrine! Why no one wants to save my soul?

Can Laurel or Hardy drop the Ab-e Towbeh on my head, Islamic Baptize me, take me to ziyarat-e Hazrat-e Abdol Azim, and make a good Muslim woman out of me? I want to be bare feet and pregnant wrapped in hejab in the kitchen cooking for some fat belly haji Bazaari! Can you help me?

Qodsi Khanum

You may think of yourself as a journalist or soldier but you didn’t post a journalistic piece. You posted a sermon which you usually do. I think you may want to have a change of career to a Talabeh because you do great Mull-Shiite so you have a bright future prospect as a Mullah. Please consider my advice! Don’t waste your talent, be all that you can be, so become a Mullah!

Say Qodsi, were you always psychotic in Syria or have you become psychotic when you moved to Iran? Was it natural or was it Mullahs’ effect on your soul?

Iran’s Execution of Iranian-German Dissident Jamshid Sharmahd is State-Sanctioned Murder

CHRI
https://iranhumanrights.org/

Executed Dual National Was Abducted, Tortured, and Convicted without Due Process

Countries Must Join Together to Stop Iran’s Hostage Taking

October 28, 2024 – The Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) strongly condemns the execution of Jamshid Sharmahd, an Iranian-German dual national and U.S. resident, by the Islamic Republic of Iran on Monday, October 28. This state-sanctioned killing targeted a dissident who was unjustly detained, tortured, and deprived of his due process and fair trial rights.

“By executing Jamshid Sharmahd, the Islamic Republic has once again shown its contempt for human rights and due process and its willingness to carry out state-sanctioned murder to silence dissent. This brutal killing is intended to send a message of terror to Iranians abroad and to the international community,” said Hadi Ghaemi, the executive director of CHRI.

The Iranian government continues to abduct foreign and dual nationals and tries to use them as bargaining chips in order to obtain concessions from other countries, including France, the U.S., Germany, Sweden, and Canada.

“Without effective multilateral action, the Islamic Republic will continue to take dual and foreign nationals hostage, and then cut side deals with individual countries for their release,” said Ghaemi.

CHRI urges all governments to join in coordinated, multilateral responses to this outrageously unlawful behavior, and defend justice, the rights of dissidents, and the safety of dual nationals worldwide. Specifically, governments should join the dozens of countries who have endorsed the Declaration Against Arbitrary Detention in State-to-State Relations, initiated by Canada in February 2021, to respond to the Islamic Republic’s continued use of hostage-taking.

Sharmahd, 69, was kidnapped by agents of the Islamic Republic in 2020 in the UAE and forcibly taken to Iran. He was subjected to enforced disappearance, torture, and ill-treatment, including prolonged solitary confinement, forced confessions, limited phone contact with family, and denial of critical medical care despite suffering from Parkinson’s disease and other serious health conditions.

Sharmahd was denied access to an independent lawyer of his choosing and the right to a full defense during his trial. He was sentenced to death on the charge of “corruption on earth,” a vague political charge used by the Islamic Republic to prosecute dissidents and critics of the state, and accused of “planning and directing terrorist acts” following a trial that relied on confessions obtained under torture.

Both Sharmahd and his family consistently denied the allegations. He had previously been targeted in an Iranian assassination plot on U.S. soil in 2009.

Sharmahd is one of several Iranian dissidents abducted by Iranian agents and brought back to Iran in recent years. His case closely echoes that of the France-based dissident Ruhollah Zam, who was abducted by Iranian agents in Iraq in 2019 and executed in December 2020 after a sham trial.

Iran Using Regional Tensions to Lash Out at Critics

The Iranian government had previously accused Sharmahd of being “supported by the intelligence services of the USA and Israel.” CHRI is deeply concerned that the Islamic Republic is exploiting regional tensions to target its critics.

“The international community and governments worldwide should not be distracted from the human rights crisis in Iran and must stand firmly against the Islamic Republic’s escalating executions and abductions of foreign and dual nationals,” said Ghaemi.

Iran reportedly executes California man amid ongoing execution spree: 'Murdered by the regime'

FOX News
https://www.foxnews.com/

Jamshid Sharmahd lived in the US for 20 years and was kidnapped by regime agents on a business trip to Dubai

The Islamic Republic of Iran on Monday reportedly executed the journalist Jamshid Sharmahd, who was a resident of California and a sharp critic of the regime in Tehran, according to The Associated Press.

The Iranian regime’s judiciary Mizan website announced that the 69-year-old Sharmahd was killed on Monday morning.

Sharmahd’s daughter, Gazelle, who lives in California, previously told Fox News Digital the Iranian regime is "scapegoating an innocent man" over bombing allegations, and spoke of his affinity for the United States.

She told Fox News Digital in August, 2023, "My dad chose the United States as his home, worked hard, followed all the rules, belongs to a family of four generations around him of U.S. citizenship, lived here for 20 years as a tax-paying, law-abiding resident and would already have his citizenship if it wasn’t for the terrorists and qualifies as a U.S. national under the Levinson law."

The Levinson Act defines a "United States national" as a "lawful permanent resident with significant ties to the United States." According to the State Department, the definition applies to non-U.S. citizens.

The act was named after Robert Levinson, a retired FBI agent and private investigator who disappeared from an Iranian island in 2007. Levinson was held hostage and was declared dead in 2020 when he was said to have died in Iranian custody. His family blamed the Iranian regime for his capture and imprisonment.

Fox News Digital reported that the Biden administration faced intense criticism for reportedly abandoning Sharmahd and punting his case over to Germany. Sharmahd is a German citizen. According to critics of Germany's Iran policy, the German Green party foreign minister Annalena Baerbock failed to use her country’s economic and political leverage to secure Sharmahd’s release.

Sharmahd survived an assassination attempt in California in which an Iranian agent was convicted of the planned murder. He was then kidnapped by the Iranian regime in Dubai in 2020 as part of a business trip.

The Iranian regime-controlled website Mizan claimed, without evidence, that Sharmahd committed "multiple terrorist acts at the direction of his masters in the intelligence services of U.S. and Israel."

A U.S. State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that it had seen the German government's statement on his death, noting "We express our sincere condolences to his loved ones. This is the latest abhorrent act in the regime’s long history of transnational repression and accelerating rate of executions."

The spokesperson added "We’ve been in touch with the German government and European Union and are doing everything we can to support. We will continue to work with the international community to hold the regime accountable for its abuses."

Lawdan Bazargan, an Iranian-American human rights activist and expert on the clerical regime, told Fox News Digital, "In 1988, after the Islamic Republic of Iran was forced to accept a cease-fire with Iraq, it exacted brutal revenge by executing over 5,000 political prisoners, including my brother, Bijan, who had already served years behind bars. The world stood by in silence, failing to hold the regime accountable. Jamshid Sharmahd’s execution is now another diversion, covering the regime’s failures against Israel and the losses suffered by Hezbollah and Hamas."

She added, "If the world remains silent again, more innocent Iranian prisoners will be killed. The global community must unite against this terrorist regime – Germany and other European nations should expel Iranian diplomats, close the Islamic Republic of Iran's embassies that act as terror safe houses, and declare the IRGC a terrorist organization. The U.S. must also use every tool at its disposal to pressure Iran into halting these executions."

Amnesty International noted that Sharmahd "was convicted of the charge of ‘corruption on earth’ which is not clearly defined in law, and as such contravenes the principle of legality" and termed his trial "grossly unfair."

The British human rights group added, "Since July 2020, the Iranian authorities have been subjecting him to enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment, including through prolonged solitary confinement and denial of adequate health care."

Tehran’s opaque justice system claims Sharmahd played a role in a 2008 terrorist attack at a mosque in Shiraz, Iran, that left 14 dead and more than 200 injured.

However, the regime-controlled media outlet Fars News quoted the Iranian National Security Council in 2008 as saying, "The explosion of a bomb or any explosion carried out by opposition elements, be they internal or foreign, is ruled out. The blast was caused by some munitions used in an exhibition for the [Iran-Iraq War] martyrs in the mosque."

Iran abducted Sharmahd, a leader of a California-based Iranian exile group, while he was in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and apparently smuggled him into Oman before bringing him to the Islamic Republic, his family told The Associated Press on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2020. Iran has only said they detained Sharmahd in what it describes as a "complex operation." (Sharmahd family via AP)

Jason Poblete, the attorney for Jamshid Sharmahd, wrote on X, "We are receiving reports that the Islamic Republic of Iran has carried out the death sentence against U.S. Legal Permanent Resident and Californian Jamshid Sharmahd." He added that the family requests privacy until the facts are confirmed.

Iranian journalist and human rights activist Vahid Beheshti blasted the Iranian regime on X, stating in part that Jamshid Sharmahd "was murdered today by the regime of the Islamic Republic."

A spokesperson for the German foreign minister sent Fox News Digital a statement from the country's chief diplomat, stating "I condemn the murder of Jamshid Sharmahd by the Iranian regime in the strongest possible terms. Jamshid Sharmahd was abducted to Iran from Dubai, held for years without a fair trial and has now been killed. The very worst has come to pass for his family today. I would like to offer my most profound sympathy to his family, with whom we were and continue to be in the very closest contact, for this terrible loss."

She added "We made it crystal clear to Tehran time and again that the execution of a German national would have severe consequences. Jamshid Sharmahd’s execution shows once again what an inhumane regime is in power in Tehran – a regime that punishes its young people, its own population and foreign nationals with death. This underlines that evidently no one is safe in Iran, also under the new government."

When asked if Germany plans to sanction Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, expel Iran’s ambassador to Germany, and recall Berlin’s ambassador from Tehran, the spokesperson for Baerbock refused to comment. The U.S. and Canada have both classified the IRGC as a terrorist entity.
