The Mahdi For Victory
Iran’s newly elected president, Hassan Rohani, attributed his
victory in the June 15 voting to the 12th
Imam, Mahdi, a statement with ominous overtones in the Islamic regime’s
quest for nuclear weapons.
The Shiites believe that at the end of
times, the 12th Imam, a 9th-century prophet, will reappear with Jesus Christ at
his side, kill all the infidels and raise the flag of Islam in all four corners
of the world. Many analysts believe Iran is seeking nuclear capability to bring
on that Armageddon.
“This political [election] was due to the kindness of the last
Islamic messiah [Mahdi],” Rohani said Friday.
Kayhan newspaper, the main media outlet of the regime and the mouthpiece of the
supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ran a centerpiece headline Saturday
reporting Rohani’s statement:
“This victory and the epic saga is
without a doubt due to the special kindness of the Imam Zaman (Mahdi) and the
measures taken by the supreme leader, especially his guidance and words. …
Without his management then it was not clear if the people of Iran would
witness such a day filled with joy,” Rohani said.
“I am so happy that there is a feeling of joy in our society and that the
election took place in the month of Shaban [the 8th Islamic month,
representative of courage and blessings], which is the month of victory,” he
said.

Much of the Western media in reporting on the election results proclaimed that
Rohani is a “moderate and reformist”
cleric.
An op-ed in the Los Angeles Times by David Horsey, for example, called Rohani’s
election good for America and bad for the “neocons.” A piece in the Huffington
Post by Flynt and Hillary Leverett, long-time supporters of dialogue with the
Islamic regime, urged President Obama to approach Rohani as this represents a
new opportunity, but the U.S. must accept the legitimacy of the Islamic
Republic.
A third op-ed, in the Christian Science Monitor by Scott Peterson, called
Rohani a “diplomat sheikh” and
claimed that he has shown flexibility and a willingness to compromise when he
served as the regime’s nuclear negotiator.
An exclusive WND report on June 16, however, showed that Rohani
has been a major player in the regime’s deceitful policies. He was put in
charge of Iran’s nuclear team in 2003 by Khamenei and the so-called moderate president
at that time, Mohammad Khatami. He succeeded in preventing further U.N.
resolutions by agreeing to suspend parts of Iran’s nuclear activity, but, as
the International Atomic Energy Agency indicated, Iran’s nuclear program never
truly stopped.
In 2008, Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, the former parliamentary speaker and secretary
of the Iranian government during Khatami’s term, revealed that while Khatami
was president and through Rohani’s efforts, “We had an agreement
for the suspension of enrichment, but we were importing all the necessary parts
for our nuclear activity. We were conducting our policies on two fronts: one to
continue negotiations openly and keep the Americans away from such
negotiations, and the other to continue our nuclear activities in secret.”
Previous statements by the president-elect clearly show his radical views.
Rohani had called the 2009 Iranian protesters of corrupt elections “thugs” and
said that, “If the regime had not acted, the revolutionary forces (plainclothes
police) would have put the protesters in their place.”
In 2009, millions of Iranians protested against the election fraud that gave
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a second term. Thousands were arrested and many tortured,
raped and executed.
Rohani made a similar statement about the 1999 student uprising: “These
students are so despised and inferior that they could not be labeled as a
movement to change the regime. If the officials had not prohibited (the
students from rioting), our people would have cut them in pieces.”
A Revolutionary Guard intelligence analyst who has defected to a Scandinavian
country predicted the selection of Rohani as the next president one week before
the election and said the regime constantly creates an image of division within
its political system between so-called conservatives and moderates.
The aim of tapping the perceived
moderate Rohani as the winner was to deceive the West yet again by creating new
hope that there could be meaningful negotiations over Iran’s illicit nuclear
program, he said, while buying even more time to develop nuclear weapons and
thereby becoming untouchable by the West.
The fact that Rohani served as the representative of the supreme leader to the
Supreme National Security Council since
1989, the defector said, shows that the supreme leader regards him as one
of the regime’s most trusted figures. But more importantly, since all of the
regime’s actions, from its nuclear activity to arming terrorists and its
terrorist activities, are decided by that council, there is no doubt that
Rohani participated in all of its terrorist decision-making.
Some of those decisions include the 1994 Jewish Community Center
bombing in Buenos Aires, the 1996 Khobar Tower bombings in Saudi Arabia and the
2012 Burgas, Bulgaria, bus bombing.
Ayatollah Movahedi
Kermani, in his Friday prayer speech last week congratulating Rohani for his
election, stated that, “Before the reappearance of Imam Zaman
[Mahdi], the struggle will reach its peak … in that fight there won’t even be
mercy on the womb in the mother’s belly.”
