Remember a few years back when I asked if anyone had heard of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, they hadn't. Where have you been? This is a long forerunner of Versailles. Here it is about to be visited by the Iranian
Speaker:
Ghalibaf went on to say that "From here I am going to Geneva to participate in the meeting of the Presidents of the Assembly of States (Inter-Parliamentary Union-IPU). I will definitely convey the message of the oppressed people of Lebanon and Palestine to all the speakers of the parliaments of the countries."
"In the meeting with Mr. Mikati, I declared that the nation and the government of Iran are ready to transfer facilities through an air corridor as soon as possible to help the injured, displaced and war-hit people of Lebanon under the supervision of the government of their country," the speaker added.
It's not the United Nations. It means he will be directly dealing with the parliaments of 179 other countries. There are no intermediates, cabinets, committees, councils, just a getting-together of the actual national legislators. Now, of course, it may sound a little edgy from its own site:
IPU 1889
or:
Quote:
The organisation's initial objective was the arbitration of conflicts. The IPU played an important part in setting up the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. Over time, its mission has evolved towards the promotion of democracy and inter-parliamentary dialogue. The IPU has worked for establishment of institutions at the inter-governmental level, including the United Nations, an organization with which it cooperates and with which it has permanent observer status.
The organization was established in 1889 as the Inter-Parliamentary Conference. Its founders were statesmen Frédéric Passy of France and William Randal Cremer of the United Kingdom, who sought to create the first permanent forum for political multilateral negotiations.
You'll quickly find a greenish attitude towards carbon, which can simply be brought in by the Europeans I suppose, but here you simply track your elected representative and hold them accountable. Reciprocally, it may mean someone will take Iranian ideas to their home countries. Of course, the ideas of rescues will probably be received a lot better than anything about force. Tribunals and prosecutions of Zionists? I'm not sure. Again as far as I know this Union merely has the ability to facilitate communication, without any kind of enforcement other than the influence of the members.
So far we are probably watching the discovery of

To shed light on Israeli regime's delay in response to Iran's retaliatory missile attack dubbed True Promise II, a political commentator has told local Iranian media that the Tel Aviv regime is afraid of Iran's missile capabilities, and is only waging a psychological warfare against Tehran.
In an interview with local Iranian news website Entekhab, Seyyed Hadi Borhani, a professor of Israeli Studies, said, "The most important feature and characteristic of the current circumstances is Israel's psychological warfare against Iran. It is quite clear that a centralized psychological warfare room in Israel is running this warfare. This room produces news and disinformation on a daily basis. The purpose of all this disinformation and news is to maintain or increase the pressure on Iran. This way, Israel wants to increase the cost of Iran's missile attack on it. It wants to use psychological warfare to turn the threat of Israel's response and attack into an important and influential factor in Iran's situation."
"Israeli regime wants to create an atmosphere where everyone is worried about the imminent and horrific Israeli attack," Borhani said, adding that the main purpose of these threats is to tell Iranians that their country does not have a normal situation both inside and outside.
The Israelis seek to tell Iran that because it is in abnormal situation it has to pay a price under pressure, he said.
Israeli regime also has plans to carry out military operations, but I think the main part of Israel's operation against Iran is psychological, and maybe a small part of it is militarily and operationally. The possibility of an effective military operation is not too high.
"First of all, the fact that Israel has not attacked back yet shows that it faces limits and difficulty in carrying out such an attack," added Borhani.
"Secondly, in my opinion, Iran's recent missile attack were effective and interrupted Israel's calculations. Iran's capability to hit a highly protected military site with about 34 missiles very terrifying and horrific to Israel. This means that Iran can target each site in Israel from the Mossad building to the nuclear and economic centers to the political centers in Israel," the commentator said.
"If Israel realizes that Iran has such a capability and its is durable, it will think twice before taking any action against Iran," Borhani said.
"Therefore, until Israel can not solve this fundamental problem (Iran's pinpointing missile)... it will not carry out a serious and effective attack against Iran," he added.
