The future of Iran with Maryam Rajavi

Throughout our interview, Rajavi emphasized that Iranian insurgents must “go it alone.” “From our perspective, the fundamental and immutable principle is that the overthrow of the regime must be carried out by the Iranian people themselves and their organized resistance,” she said. “This is the only path to toppling this regime. Without a combat-capable, organized resistance, this brutal and medieval system will not fall.” She added that this has been the basis of what she called “our relentless struggle” for nearly five decades. Regarding the West, Rajavi pointed out that “the expectation of the Iranian people is that democratic countries, including the United States, do not side with the Iranian regime in this unjust war, that they recognize the legitimacy of the struggle against this religious fascism and its Iran [Islamic] Revolutionary Guard Corps [IRGC], who are the [Nazi German] SS of our time, and that they hold the leaders of this regime and the architects and perpetrators of ...

iran news Isn’t it time, according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , to recognize the struggle, resistance, and uprising of the Iranian people to change this regime? The religious dictatorship in Iran has already been condemned 71 times by the UN General Assembly and other United Nations bodies for executions, torture, and horrific human rights violations. Here’s our message: The seat of the Iranian people at the United Nations must not be given to a regime of executions and massacres. Refer the case of genocide and crimes against humanity in Iran to the UN Security Council! Khamenei and those responsible for these crimes must be prosecuted in an international court. Do not remain silent in the face of the brutal killing of Iranian youth who take to the streets in protest! If there had not been a decade of appeasement and if the resolutions had not been suspended, there would have been no need for war. Our message for Iran’s future is simple: the sovereignty of the people...

John Bercow, former Speaker of the UK House of Commons, addressed the gathering of tens of thousands of Iranians in Brussels on September 6, 2025 .  He lauded the resistance movement’s “ six-decade record of service, of sacrifice, and of selfless struggle for the triumph of liberty, freedom, democracy, and the rule of law against all who despise it, whether they be monarchs or religious zealots and bigots .” John Bercow delivered the most forceful repudiation of a return to monarchy. “We should not be under any illusions about what that freedom-loving, democracy-championing, rule of law-supporting alternative is,” he said. “We don’t mean some baby Shah. We don’t mean some clown prince. We don’t mean someone who’s lived off the fat of the land for decades, a kind of playboy prince over the water… Not needed, not wanted, not of any use whatsoever.” He contrasted this with the selfless dedication of Mrs. Rajavi and the NCRI . https://www.maryam-rajavi.com/en/60th-founding-anniversary...

When authoritarian regimes start to wobble, outside observers often reach instinctively for the single, familiar idea of ‘the alternative’. It is a human reflex, but a dangerous one. In Iran, as the clerical theocracy shows signs of fracture and the country’s crisis deepens, some Western voices have begun to flirt with a thought that feels neat and historically legible: the return of the Shah’s son. That would be a profound mistake. Iran’s tragedy since 1979 has been that an autocracy was replaced by another autocracy. The lesson should be plain: changing the personality at the top is not enough. What matters is the nature of the state and the source of its legitimacy. Iran does not need a restoration. It needs a foundation for a democratic future. It has been argued that Reza Pahlavi could play a unifying role, perhaps as a symbolic constitutional monarch. But this misunderstands both Iran’s recent history and the political psychology of revolutions. The last Shah was not a constituti...

iran news: Former European Parliament Vice President Alejo Vidal-Quadras addressed the tens of thousands gathered in Brussels, on September 6, 2025, calling them “ the living embodiment of the Iranian people’s will for change .”  Following are excerpts of his speech: You are not a fringe, you are not a faction, you are not a grouplet. You are the voice of millions of Iranians. You are the heartbeat of a nation.” “Dear Maryam Rajavi, the NCRI and PMOI are not alone. Iran is suffocated by tyranny, and your presence here is a living referendum — a thunderous voice for your democratic vision expressed in your Ten-Point Plan ,” he said. Condemning any return to monarchy, he declared, “The vast majority of Iranians reject replacing a criminal, corrupt, and terrorist regime with a crown dictatorship driven by selfish ambition.” Highlighting the Resistance Units, he said, “ I have seen them inside Iran — fearless, challenging , marking the PMOI’s 60th anniversary with fire, determination,...

Alors que la République islamique réprime violemment les manifestations de sa population, le Comité parlementaire pour un Iran démocratique « appelle une réaction responsable des institutions parlementaires et internationales ». Le dimanche 28 décembre 2025, une nouvelle vague de protestations populaires, centrée sur des grèves et des soulèvements des commerçants du Grand Bazar de Téhéran, a rapidement gagné de nombreuses villes, parmi lesquelles Machhad, Kermanshah, Hamadan, Kerman, Karaj, Malard, Zanjan, Ahvaz et Derghan sur l’île de Qeshm. Ces manifestations, qui ont débuté par des revendications professionnelles et économiques, se sont très vite transformées en rassemblements et en manifestations de rue à caractère ouvertement politique. Selon des rapports, de vastes secteurs du centre de Téhéran ont été le théâtre d’une présence massive de manifestants et de confrontations avec les forces de l’ordre et les unités anti-émeutes. L’usage massif de gaz lacrymogènes, de matraques et de...
