Defining the Notion of Rogue State:
A rogue state has an ambitious leader who envisions a new world order by developing and implementing domestic and foreign policies to move toward unknown territories. The other entities, whether they are domestic actors or foreign actors who must submit the new rules or face clashes with the ambitious leader to the point of a Pyrrhic Victory.
The rogue state leader does not rely on the voice of reason to resolve issues with domestic and foreign actors. The rogue state leader is seeking submissions from domestic and foreign actors. The rogue state leader will respond to the contrary views with an Iron Fist at home and outside the house. As a result, the rogue state leader lacks the legitimacy to act in its citizens' best interest. The rogue state leader forms a totalitarian and authoritarian political apparatus.
The rogue state leader is not thinking about the welfare and well-being of its citizens. The rogue state leader is not allocating funds toward social programs. It is interested in developing a robust police system to suppress its citizens and strong-armed forces to confront other nations to submit to the rogue state leader's will. The rogue state leader develops a labyrinth espionage system to gather intelligence against those who do not share the rogue state leader's sentiment. The rogue state leader develops a Weapon of Mass Destruction as a countermeasure to deter other nations from questions its foreign policies.
A rogue state's final goal is to eradicate anyone who appears to be standing against the system's objectives. The system always executes Machiavellian doctrines of fear, fraud and force to prolong its longevity. It is the most dangerous system to be alive and active and poses a threat to other nations' human rights and sovereignty. A rogue must be brought down a rogue state to have human rights and global peace.
Transforming Iran into a Rogue State
Iran was not a rogue state at the time of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. It was a peacemaker country. For example, when the Dhofar Rebellion broke-out in Oman from 1963 to 1976, the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces provided a peacemaker mission in Oman. His Imperial Majesty, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, deemed Iran's Armed Forces as Gendarmer of the Persian Gulf. Otherwise, the outlaws would cause havoc in the transportation of fossil fuel supplies to the rest of the world.
Terrorist Actors:
First Actor, Mostafa Chamran
In 1932, Mostafa Chamran Save'ei was born in Tehran-Iran. He graduated from the University of Tehran with a Bachelor of Science in the field of electromechanics.
In the 1950s, he moved to the United States to further his studies and accomplished a Master's degree from Texas A&M University. He stayed in the US and pursued his Ph.D. in electrical engineering and plasma physics in 1963 from the University of California, Berkeley.
He published a memoir, "Self-construction and development," in the 1960s, Bell Laboratories and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory hired him as a research staff scientist.
Chamran was one of the senior members of the Freedom Movement led by Mehdi Bazargan in the 1960s. He was part of the radical external wing together with Ebrahim Yazdi and Sadegh Ghotbzadeh.
Following graduation, Chamran went to Cuba to receive military training. In December 1963, he and Ghotbzadeh and Yazdi left the US for Egypt, where he trained in guerilla warfare. They met the Egyptian authorities to establish an anti-Shah organization in the country, which was later called SAMA, a particular organization for unity and action. Chamran was chosen as its military head. Upon returning to the US in 1965, he founded a group, Red Shiism, to train militants in San Jose. His brother, Mehdi, was also part of the group. In 1968, he founded another group, the Muslim Students' Association of America (MSA), and Ebrahim Yazdi led it. The group managed to establish branches in the United Kingdom and France.
In 1971, Chamran left the US for Lebanon and joined the Palestine Liberation Organization and Amal movement camps. He became a leading and founding member of the Islamic revolutionary movement in the Middle East, organizing and training guerrillas and revolutionary forces in Algeria, Egypt, Syria. During the civil war in Lebanon, he actively cooperated with Musa Al Sadr, founder of the Amal movement. Chamran also became an Amal member and right-hand man of Sadr.
Chamran and Sadegh Ghotbzadeh was part of the faction, called the Syrian mafia, in Khomeini's court. There was a feud between his group and the Libya-friendly group, led by Mohammad Montazeri.
With the Islamic Revolution taking place in Iran, Chamran returned to Iran. In 1979, he served as deputy prime minister in the cabinet of Mehdi Bazargan. He led the military operations in Kurdistan, where Kurds rebelled against the Interim Government of Iran. He served as minister of defence from September 1979 to 1980, being the first civil defence minister of the Islamic Republic.
In March 1980, he was elected to the parliament as a representative of Tehran. In May 1980, he was named the Ayatollah's representative to the Supreme Council of National Defense.
Chamran led an infantry unit during the Iran–Iraq War and received two wounds in his left leg by shrapnel from a mortar shell. However, he refused to leave his team. He was killed in Dehlavieh on June 21st, 1981, as the war was raging on. His death is regarded as suspicious, and the related details have remained unclear. Chamran was buried in the Behesht-e Zahra cemetery in Tehran.
Second Actor, Sadeq Qotbzadeh
In 1936, Ghotbzadeh was born in Isfahan-Iran. He was active in the National Front student branch following the toppling of Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953. He left Iran in 1959 after being detained twice due to his opposition activities to the King's regime; he lived in Europe, the US and Canada. Ghotbzadeh was a supporter of the National Front of Iran. He was also one of the Freedom Movement of Iran's senior members led by Mehdi Bazargan in the 1960s.
He attended Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service from 1959 to 1963. He contributed to the movement from the US. He was part of the more radical wing of the Movement with Ebrahim Yazdi and Mostafa Chamran. However, he was expelled from the school before graduating due to his skipping studies and exams to attend and organize protests against Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's government. Including storming a posh party hosted by the Iranian ambassador to the United States, the son-in-law of the Shah, Ardeshir Zahedi.
Ghotbzadeh left the US when his passport was revoked and moved to Algeria, Egypt, Syria and finally to Iraq, where he met Ayatollah Khomenei in 1963. In December of the same year, Ghotbzadeh and Chamran and Yazdi met the Egyptian authorities to establish an anti-Shah organization in the country, which was later called SAMA, a unique organization for unity and action. Chamran was chosen as its military head. Ghotbzadeh also developed a close relation with Musa Al Sadr, an Iranian-Lebanese Shia cleric. During his stay in the Middle East, Ghotbzadeh was trained in Lebanon with Iranian revolutionary militants and Palestinians.
In the late 1960s, Ghotbzadeh went to Canada to pursue higher education and graduated from now-defunct Notre Dame University College in Nelson, BC, in 1969. Next, he settled in Paris and used his Syrian passport, which he obtained his passport through Musa Al Sadr. There he worked as a correspondent for the Syrian government daily, Al Thawra. The job was fake and covered his opposition activity in the city.
Ghotbzadeh was first arrested on November 07th, 1980, to kill Khomeini and criticize the Islamic Republic Party and put him in the Evin prison. He was released on November 10th, when Khomeini intervened.
On April 08th, 1982, he was arrested with a group of army officers and clerics, including a son-in-law of the religious leader Ayatollah Kazem Shariatmadari, all accused of plotting the assassination of Khomeini and the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
In April 1982 press conference, cleric Mohammad Reyshahri, the chief judge of the newly created Military Revolutionary Tribunal, explained the plot with an elaborate chart full of boxes and arrows linking Ghotbzadeh and the royalist officers, on one side, to the feudalists, the leftist mini-groups, and the phony clerics and on the other side, to the `National Front, Israel, the Pahlavis and the Socialist International. The last four linked to the CIA.
Rumours included the story that Khomeini initially did not want to execute Ghotbzadeh; but, the other clerics persuaded him to do so after hearing a tape of Ghotbzadeh in prison to pay money to provide the contact information of his allies in France in exchange for his freedom. Ghotbzadeh supposedly told this to a fellow prisoner specifically hired to entrap him. The veracity of these rumours is unknown.
The trial of Ghotbzadeh began in August 1982. In the court, he denied the accusations but confirmed the plot's existence to topple the Islamic government and form a "real republic." His forced confessions are said to have come only after severe torture. On late September 15th, 1982, in Tehran's Evin prison, Ghotbzadeh was shot by a firing squad following a 26-day trial. After the Military Revolutionary Tribunal found him guilty and sentenced him to death, he was 46.
Third Actor, Ebrahim Yazdi
On September 26th, 1931, Yazdi was born in Qazvin-Iran. He studied pharmacy at the University of Tehran. Then he accomplished a Master's degree in philosophy from the University of Tehran.
After the military coup of 1953, which deposed Mohammad Mossadegh's government, Yazdi joined the underground National Resistance Movement of Iran and was active in this organization from 1953 to 1960. National Resistance Movement opposed Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi as the head of state of Iran. Yazdi travelled to the United States in 1961 to continue his education. In the US, he continued his involvement in political activities against the Shah.
He was a co-founder of Iran's Freedom Movement with Mostafa Chamran and Sadegh Qotbzadeh in 1961. They were all part of the radical external wing of the group. In 1963, Yazdi, Chamran and Ghotbzadeh went to Egypt and met the authorities to establish an anti-Shah organization in the country, which was later called SAMA, a special organization for unity and action. Chamran was chosen as its military head before returning to the US. In 1966, Yazdi moved the headquarters of SAMA to Beirut. In 1967, he enrolled at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston (which before 1969 was part of the Baylor University system) and received a Ph.D. in biochemistry.
In 1975, Yazdi was tried in absentia in an Iranian military court and condemned to ten years imprisonment, with orders issued for his arrest upon return to Iran. Because of his activities, he could not return to Iran and remained in the United States until July 1977. He became a naturalized US citizen in Houston in 1971. When Ayatollah Khomenei moved to Neauphle-le-Château, a Parisian suburb, from Iraq in 1978, Yazdi also went to Neauphle-le-Château and began to serve as an advisor to the Ayatollah. He was also his spokesperson in Paris.
In December 1997, Yazdi was arrested for "desecrating religious sanctities" and released on December 26th on bail. On June 17th, 2009, during the 2009 Iranian election protests, the media reported that Yazdi arrested while undergoing tests at the Tehran hospital, according to the Freedom Movement of Iran website. On June 22nd, he was released back to the hospital for a medical procedure. On December 28th, 2009, Yazdi was arrested again in the wake of renewed protests, according to the Jaras reformist website.
On October 01st, 2010, Yazdi was arrested with several other individuals in Isfahan for participating in an "illegal Friday prayer." Ebrahim Yazdi remained in Evin prison and remained under halfway house controlled by Iran's security forces until March 2011. In April 2011, the judicial system did not lay a criminal charge against him and allowed him to leave the halfway house.
On August 27th, 2017, Yazdi died of pancreatic cancer at 85 in Izmir, Turkey, while seeking treatment for his illness. His body was transferred to Iran and buried in Behesht-e Zahra.
Conclusion:
The actors who established the Islamic Republic of Iran rejected the Pahlavi dynasty. They went to the US to acquire more academic knowledge with Iranian taxpayer's funds. The CIA recruited them and trained them in guerrilla warfare in countries like Cuba, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.
When the actors returned to Iran, they were terrorists; they formed the Islamic Republic of Iran within totalitarianism and authoritarian systems. The rival clerics pushed them outside of the political arena, and the clerics became the key player of politics in Iran and developed their version of the new world order.
The Rogue State of Islamic Republic of Iran:
When the clerics were planning to form a totalitarian and authoritarian regime, the clerics deemed the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces a threat to its security. The clerics began to form Revolutionary Tribunals, brought the officers before their kangaroo courts, and passed the death sentences in the absence of due process. Iran's secret service SAVAK SAVAK Sāzemān-e Ettelā'āt va Amniyat-e Keshvar, literally "National Organization for Security and Intelligence," was the secret police, domestic security and intelligence service in Iran during the reign of the Pahlavi dynasty. The SAVAK agents faced torture and death. The western powers installed Iran's regime; the western powers refused to stand-up for the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces and SAVAK agents' human rights.
The clerics began to confiscate the property of anyone who fled the country due to fear of revolutionary people's wrath. Plus, for those who did not flee Iran, the clerics opened the Koran and took a verse from Koran and said it was Allah's will and command to confiscate their properties. The Bahai faith group were the victim of the clerics to lose their possessions. As time passed, the clerics began to rape, murder and provoked the Iraqi people to rebel against Saddam Hussein. The clerics caused Iran and Iraq War and did not sign any peace treaty because the clerics wanted to liberate Palestinians. The path to liberation of Palestine was through the emancipation of Iraq.
The clerics in Iran lost the war to Saddam Hussein with massive human causality and infrastructure destruction. The clerics learned from Iran and Iraq War that they needed a bigger gun to subdue other nations against their wills. Quickly, the clerics in Iran began to invest in Iran's nuclear program, which was left behind by the Pahlavi regime. The clerics became bolder and began to shout death to Israel and the US. The clerics assumed that their nuclear capability would wipe Israel from the map. However, as time passed, the clerics realized that wipe Israel from the map would have severe security consequences.
The clerics in Iran brought economic sanctions in Iran. The regime in Iran cannot have smooth cash-flow from oil revenue. It relies on a complex and black market to sell Iran's oil to generate revenue. The economic hardship has caused the middle class to evaporate. It created two classes, as Karl Marx discussed. A petite bourgeois class and proletarian class who worked around the clock to provide necessities of life. Even Iranians were not able to have the basic need of life. The Iran regime funnels the oil funds toward its foreign terrorist adventures as cleric Hasan Nasrollah and Mahmoud Al-Zahra, Hamas leader. In 2006, he said they were in Iran, and Qasem Soleimani gave them $22 million to fund their programs as the regime provides financial aid toward global terrorism. Iranians lacked financial resources to have economic prosperity. Iranian parents could not buy clothes for their children. Children committed suicide or parents could not buy school materials like Mohammad Mousavi Zadeh, who was eleven years old, ended his life. The list of suicide in Iran is on the rise because there is no hope for a bright future for Iranians.
The clerics in Iran are unable to have funds for their terrorist machines around the world. The clerics are taking hostages who are highly educated and are coming to Iran to visit or contribute to Iran's advancement of knowledge, like Xiyue Wang born December 31st, 1980) is a Chinese American who was imprisoned in Iran from 2016 to 2019 after being accused of espionage. The Iran regime released Wang in a prisoner swap between the two countries, with the US freeing Iranian scientist Massoud Soleimani. The list of hostage-taking goes on. The hostage-taking is not an isolated incident. The regime in Iran is constantly attacking anyone it can.
Therefore, the regime in Iran is not a normal state. It is not a state which is misunderstood due to a barrier. It has the vision to dominate the world. Mr. Hasan Abbasi is an Iranian political strategist and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officer and head of its think-tank "Center for Borderless Security Doctrinal Analysis," he bluntly on hostage-taking to fund terrorist programs. Plus, he said clearly in his speeches that Islam must prevail in four corners of the world. This is the question for readers to think for themselves. How dangerous is the Islamic Republic for the existence of the human race?
