The Uprising of the People of Iran Cannot Be Hijacked
The January uprising, overall, had three sides: On one side stood the rebels, those who held the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for freedom. On the opposing side stood the ruling clerics, spilling blood without restraint.
And on the third side stood the remnants of the Shah and his son, who sought to hijack the fruits of this sacrifice, with the ultra-reactionary slogan “Long Live the Shah,” which only gave the clerical regime freer hand to massacre the protesters. A slogan that became a symbol of division, serving Khamenei, empowering the suppressive forces, and obstructing the path of uprising.
However, we are now in the third decade of the 21st century. And, in the words of Massoud (Rajavi): “Anyone who imagines they can hijack Iran’s new democratic revolution, just as the Constitutional and the anti-monarchical revolutions were usurped and drowned in blood, they are gravely mistaken.”
We are speaking about a resistance that has fought unceasingly for 60 years against two dictatorships, the Shah and the mullahs, with more than a hundred thousand blood stained stars, radiant and night piercing, guiding the way.
Now everyone can clearly see the momentum and breakthroughs of the Resistance Units and their spread among the youth of the nation—and the enemy acknowledges it in a hundred different ways. In the January uprising, all witnessed how the culture of struggle and revolution advanced through Iran’s alleys, streets, and cities, forging the force of overthrow.
Salutations to the architect of this path and tradition!
Salutations to Massoud Rajavi, who, standing face-to-face with the inhuman clerical regime, founded the National Liberation Army, formed a democratic alternative, and opened the path of Iran’s democratic revolution toward freedom and victory.
