Frontpage magazine conducted a very interesting and detailed interview with Roozbeh Farahanipour, head of Marze Por Gohar Party.

I recommend everyone read it as it contains information that’s rarely, if ever, disclosed about the regime’s [s]elections.

One specific piece I liked, since the American government is turning a blind eye to illegal activities the Islamic Republic is conducting within the United States:

The regime tries to have it both ways: they try to discredit Iranians living outside of Iran who support boycotting by claiming they [boycott supporters] are detached and out of touch, while at the same time they provide logistical support to pro-regime entities living outside Iran to help promote the elections.  The latter is in fact illegal: it is illegal for the Islamic Republic to place ballot boxes in foreign states with which it has no official relations.  Meaning, it is illegal for the Islamic Republic to place ballot boxes in the Unites States and count the votes cast here in the states for the elections in Iran.

But hey, Obama wants to engage the Islamic Republic, so it’s okay if the Islamic Republic breaks American laws within America.
