What Is the Solution?

The question is: how did the situation reach this critical point? And what solution can bring this crisis to an end?

The regime ruling Iran, from the very beginning, knew that if it pursued a democratic path, it would swiftly lose its grip on power. It therefore adopted a sinister strategy built on the torture and execution of the Iranian people, the pursuit of nuclear weapons, and the export of war and terrorism across the region.

From the outset, our Resistance has stood firm against this regime. The price has been immense: the sacrifice of one hundred thousand of members of the Iranian Resistance.

At the same time, we have consistently warned of the dangers posed by this regime. For over four decades, we have repeatedly exposed its warmongering designs and terrorist activities. For three decades, we have brought its clandestine nuclear program to the world’s attention.

Yet instead of heeding these warnings, Western governments chose a policy of appeasement toward the ruling clerics. In doing so, they effectively contributed to the regime’s survival. At the core of this policy was the closing of pathways to change in Iran and, in practice, collaboration with the regime in suppressing the Resistance.

Over the past four decades, there have been critical junctures when the Resistance movement, relying on the support of the Iranian people, could have brought about profound change in Iran. Yet the policy of appeasement has been one of the principal factors in the regime’s survival.

Today, the solution remains the same.

As proven in 2025 and 2026, bombardment and foreign war are not the answer to the Iranian question. They do not bring stability or peace to the region, nor do they eliminate the threat this regime poses to global peace and security.

Every poison has its antidote; the antidote to the religious fascism ruling Iran is the overthrow of the regime by the people’s uprising and an organized resistance.

We have always declared—and we reiterate—that this Resistance seeks neither money nor weapons, nor does it require foreign boots on Iranian soil.
