The cabinet introduced by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to the regime’s parliament on Tuesday is a slate of Revolutionary Guards members, hostage takers, executioners and torturers who have played the most active role in wars, crackdown, massacring, exporting terrorism and fundamentalism, and killing the region’s nations.
A look at the report card of a number of new ministers proves what the Iranian Resistance said in its May 20th statement following the sham presidential election. “In Rouhani’s second term massive economic and social destructions along with political suppression would continue. Rouhani neither wants, nor is able to seriously alter the foundations, structure or behavior of this historically backward regime… And indeed it should never be expected from him, who for the past 38 years has held the highest positions in the regime’s security and military apparatus in domestic suppression and war mongering. And as his rivals have noted, he was the one who called for public hanging of conspirators during Friday prayers right from the beginning.”
Mohmmad Javad Azari Jahromi, the Minister of Communications and Technology, is one of the new members of Rouhani’s cabinet. He has been a Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) agent since the age of 21, known for his interrogations, torturing and censorship. During the 2009 uprising he was appointed to Technical Department and Director of Surveillance to control and cut off communications by the protesters. He expanded the surveillance branch, and played a special role in arresting demonstrators and quelling the uprising.
