Iran has hanged up to 30 people in the past month amid a clampdown prompted by alleged U.S.-backed plots to topple the regime.

Iran Dupes Bush : The US invaded Iraq for WMDs, went after Saddam, found Saddam, handed him to Iran, watched as Iran dominated the so-called free court, watched as Saddam was prosecuted for charges stemming from the Iraq-Iran war, watched as Iran executed Saddam and then sat back as Iran proceeded to occupy 80% of Baghdad and 40% of Iraq.

Iranian media has also tried to buy Iraqi journalists by first interviewing them for some special program about Iraq, then soliciting them for work, and then bribing them with money.

Iran is following a very programmed, very schematic approach to annihilating Iraq. First go after the big fry: The Iraqi Army, the Baathists, the government hierarchy and infrastructure. Then murder its leaders, its scientists, its clergymen, destroy its institutions. Finally work your way down the ladder and go after senior, mid-level, and junior personalities who are a threat.

This is Iran's game. Make no mistake about it.

Iran To Hang Political Prisoner On July 4
Ghazal Omid - 7/3/2007
Khaled Hardani, a political prisoner since 2000, was last able to call from prison on June 12, 2007. His death sentence was reaffirmed May 31, 2007. He is to be hanged July 4, 2007, according to UN officer Mr. Gram. Khaled has been separated from the prison population since June 17; quarantined in an undisclosed location in Raji Shahr prison. According to UN officer Grams and other political prisoners this is usually an indication that a prisoner will be hanged and also is mandated as mental torture by the UN. He was last seen in medical clinic on June 20 when he told witnesses he was four days into a dry hunger; meaning he was not eating or drinking at all. Khaled refused medical attention until he was returned to his UN-disclosed location the same day. He is not allowed to communicate with anyone and the only news I have about him is through other political prisoners who see him getting progressively weaker when brought to the Raji Shahr Clinic daily.
