What Is Freedom?

iran news: Freedom is the most precious jewel in the world—the rarest and most priceless crimson diamond in the treasure chest of human existence and the history of nations. It is the essence of progress and the defining feature of human identity. For the story of humankind is, at its heart, the conscious and often tumultuous journey from the realm of compulsion and necessity to the realm of choice and liberty. But this crimson diamond of freedom is not handed out freely . It must be earned—through struggle and sacrifice, through pain and perseverance, through love, truth, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

Our resistance movement—the proud legacy and lifeblood of our nation's dignity—has proven, more powerfully and brilliantly than ever, our people's worthiness of freedom.

The power and sovereignty belongs to the Iranian people’s republic

  Mike Pompeo: Iran's democratic opposition is ready to step up and lead. Former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich: The National Council of Resistance of Iran , an anti-Iranian regime group, announced on Saturday a "provisional government to transfer sovereignty" to the Iranian people and establish a Democratic Republic after the United States and Israel launched strikes against the regime. Rudy Giuliani: What Reza Pahlavi is attempting to do—by declaring himself Iran's "transitional leader"—is dangerous and will only destabilize the situation further. Pahlavi has next to no support inside the country, as he is literally the son of the man who was overthrown by the Iranian people after years of brutality, theft and oppressive rule. The Iranian people will not resort back to a tyrannical monarchy after freeing themselves of a tyrannical Islamic regime. This would be a formula for disaster.
