Washington, DC (Jan. 24, 2006) - Today, the Foundation for Democracy in Iran is launching the FDI Appeal to identify and freeze Iranian government assets around the world. Learn what you can do to help this effort below.
FDI believes that the ONLY way to seriously prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from pursuing clandestine nuclear research is by hitting the regime and top regime leaders in the pocket book. By denying the regime access to international financial markets, the world community can cripple the regime’s ability to sell oil, buy weapons, and finance its terrorist networks around the world.
This is the single most effective sanction that could be imposed on the Islamic Republic.
FDI believes that tough measures designed the isolate the Tehran regime will encourage the Iranian people in their quest for freedom against the tyranny of a clerical elite and their Revolutionary Guards enforcers, as personified by the current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Kurdish Rebels Strike Iran

Ken Timmerman interviews a female PJAK guerilla in the Qandil Mountains. (Photos Copyright 2007t© Kenneth R.
Timmerman)By: Kenneth R. TimmermanNewsmax.comQandil mountains, Iraq - Kurdish rebels based in the rugged mountains along Iraq’s northeastern border with Iran told Newsmax in exclusive interviews at secret guerilla bases that they have killed 200 Iranian Revolutionary Guards troops during clashes over the past two months.Guerilla leaders of the Party of the Free Life of Kurdistan, PJAK, said they have clashed with Iranian forces 21 times during this time.Iran has not admitted to the losses.The intense fighting began on Aug. 16, when Iran and Turkey began jointly shelling villages inside Iraq where rebels from those countries have their bases.Both Iran and Turkey are currently massing troops on their sides of the border with Iraq, in preparation for a ground and airborne assault on the rebel bases inside Iraq, according to published reports and information from local sources.It took 30 minutes of difficult driving in an off-road vehicle for Newsmax and a Kurdish guide to reach the site of the first rebel camp, which is hidden on a hillside near the village of Marado in the flank of 10,000-foot mountains.The area has been hit repeatedly during the recent Iranian shelling, and showed signs of freshly-burned fields and orchards.During the most intense shelling, in August, many villagers abandoned their one-story mud and stone huts and camped in a hard-scrabble river valley 10 miles away.The PJAK fighters appeared for the initial interview after walking two hours down steep, rocky paths from a mountain outpost overlooking Iran. Biryar Gabar, 33, hails from Sardasht, Iran, and gave up a career as a chemical engineer in order to join the guerilla fighters. He rose through the ranks to become a member of the organization’s political bureau, its central decision-making body
