The future of Iran with Maryam Rajavi

You have long talked about overthrowing the regie would take actual resistance on the ground. You’ve been very clear that needs to be people on the ground. What would that actually look like? How would that realistically unfold? And then what credible alternative exists if that effort for overthrow is successful? The clear alternative—and the proven solution to the Iran question—is change brought about by the Iranian people themselves, through organized resistance and resistance units. Our specific strategy for overthrowing this regime is centered on the fusion of two elements: one is popular uprising and organized resistance, including the resistance units. Both elements have been tested and can be observed. On the one hand, the social conditions are far more explosive than during the January uprising, and there is no doubt that larger uprisings are on the horizon. On the other hand, organized resistance is far more prepared than in the past. Resistance units—only during the January u...

You mentioned the executions that have gone there, and human rights groups are saying there have been a couple of dozen, and you mentioned 8 of those are MEK members. Why do you think the regime, the Iranian regime as it exists now, is carrying these out? But more importantly, what’s the message that that sends to the rest of the world?  The regime’s objective in carrying out these executions is to prevent an uprising and also to instill fear in the people who rose up in January for freedom and the overthrow of the regime. It knows that the war will eventually end, and that the already explosive conditions in society will become even more intense, with larger uprisings on the horizon. Therefore, on the one hand, it seeks—by its own calculation—to instill fear and terror among the public, especially the youth, to deter them from pursuing protest and rebellion. On the other hand, it aims to prevent young people from joining resistance units and to halt their expansion, because these ...

You know, analysts and experts look at the conflict between the United States and Iran and they look at the success the United States has had. Militarily, they’ve done an enormous amount of damage. You’ve seen relationships change in the Gulf, the United States relationships seem to be even stronger, and Iran seems to be on its own. The leadership has been cleaned out, not only the Supreme Leader, but many of the top leaders have been cleaned out there, and yet the regime is still there. Some pundits would tell you it’s even stronger, that their resilience is so strong they may be in a stronger position than they were before February 28th. Is that a correct assessment? In my view, this assessment is incorrect, because the regime is at its weakest point in the past 48 years. The super-crises that led to the January uprising have not only remained unresolved but have in fact intensified after the war. This assessment overlooks two key realities: First, the executions in recent weeks dem...

 General (Ret.) Wesley K. Clark, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, delivered an expert military and strategic assessment of the Iranian crisis, stating that the organized political resistance led by the MEK and NCRI is the only force capable of averting a global catastrophe. General Clark provided critical context regarding recent Western military engagements, explaining that while a bombing campaign was undertaken to degrade the regime’s nuclear and military equipment, this defensive action was directed solely at the hostage-taking theocracy, not the civilian population. He noted that historical data from the January 26 protests showed that peaceful protest alone will not bring change, as evidenced by the fact that thousands of citizens were gunned down in the streets by state authorities. Clark asserted that airplanes flying at 35,000 feet, aircraft carriers, and bunker-busting bombs are merely peripheral; the root cause of regional instability rests inside the regim...

Maryam Rajavi , president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran , discusses why she believes Iran’s clerical regime is facing unprecedented weakness, the role of organized resistance and women-led opposition inside Iran, and the NCRI’s roadmap for a democratic transition. In this exclusive interview with The Washington Times’ Tim Constantine, Ms. Rajavi outlines her 10-point plan for a democratic Iran and urges international support for the Iranian people’s push for regime change. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/20/maryam-rajavi-irans-regime-weakest-point-decades/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM3EeCayWBA&list=PL62xjCAU5CRkcQszFneKILQxk7YOakxme

 Former U.S. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy delivered an impassioned speech expressing profound gratitude for the masterful leadership of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi , who has successfully preserved the movement’s focus on democracy, tolerance, and human dignity despite profound personal and organizational suffering. Congressman Kennedy emphasized that a confident regime does not rush architectural and electrical engineers to the gallows, noting that the recent executions of MEK veterans like the 67-year-old Abolhassan Montazer reveal a deep-seated, paralyzing fear of another domestic uprising. He lauded the organized network of internal Resistance Units, detailing how they successfully executed a series of coordinated, province-wide operations across 15 Iranian cities just last week, successfully hitting IRGC and Basij operational bases. Turning his focus to history, Kennedy directly challenged Western policymakers who condemn the current theocracy but ignore the brutal legacy of the Shah’...

 In 2025, at least 2,707 people were executed globally and 2,159 of these cases were in Iran, Amnesty International said on Sunday. Iran put to death over 2,150 people last year, a "staggering" increase that pushed recorded worldwide executions to their highest level since 1981, Amnesty International said Monday, May 17. Amnesty said it had confirmed the executions of at least 2,707 people globally in 2025. Of these cases, 2,159 were in Iran, a figure more than double that of 2024, Amnesty added. But the UK-based rights group said that, as in previous years, its total "does not include the thousands of executions" that it believed were carried out in China, the world's most prolific user of the death penalty, due to "the state secrecy" over data. Amnesty said the figure of at least 2,707 people executed in 2025 – including in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Yemen, Singapore and the United States – represented an increase by more than two-thirds on t...

These slain MEK members and rebellious protesters are the vanguard of the path to victory. Their sacrifice breathes life into a nation. Their political vision, which unequivocally rejects both the Shah and the Mullahs, closes the door on any attempt to hijack the uprising and the revolution. Their militant actions, which target the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), illuminate the path for those who thirst for liberty. This is the singular path to freedom, as Massoud Rajavi proclaimed: “The Army of Liberation is the only way to freedom.” On the eve of their execution, the anthem of a six-member MEK unit resonated from the heart of their slaughterhouse in Ghezel Hesar prison, reaching the ears of the world. They sang: “I am the storm; tremble, you fragile willow! For your adversary is a seasoned warrior. I am faith, I am rebellion, imbued with conviction— I fight, I endure, and I emerge ever stronger.” This anthem is the resonant voice of the Iranian people, declaring that—despite the s...

Struan Stevenson  A tightening US naval cordon in the Strait of Hormuz has pushed the Islamic Republic into a defining moment. Economic siege, rising inflation, shrinking liquidity and mounting public anger combine into a volatile mix. A stark question hangs over Tehran - at what point does hardship turn into open revolt, and can the regime endure once its own enforcers share the same deprivation as the citizens they control? For decades, the clerical state has survived through a blend of repression, patronage and ideology. The twin pillars of enforcement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij militia, have formed the backbone of regime stability. Salaries, privileges and access to black-market networks have secured loyalty. Sanctions, war and blockade now squeeze state revenues at a scale unseen in recent years. Even with oil prices elevated, the ability to move, sell and monetize crude faces relentless disruption. History offers a clear lesson - revolutions i...

By L Todd Wood I'm doing this because it is the right thing to do. This article is simply to set the record straight, to tell the truth. Tucker says over and over he wants the truth; well, here it is. Ready? I have followed Tucker Carlson for years, and have generally agreed with much of his work. I especially applauded his work on the lies behind the Ukraine war, and I was flown to Maine by his team at Fox to appear on his show for an hour interview on Fox Nation several years ago. I also appeared on his show on Fox a handful of other times to discuss the Ukraine conflict; ending the Ukraine war is a passion of mine, so I was especially thankful to Tucker for having me on. Second, I have been against any war with Iran for some time, vocally so. However, now that we are in it, I want an outcome that is good for the United States and my children's future. I don't believe American ground forces in any size would be a benefit in Iran. There would be many casualties, and I'...

Baroness Redfern expressed her profound solidarity with the “very brave Iranian people” and political prisoners who risk their lives to resist repression and demand democracy. She emphasized that through the networks and Resistance Units of the NCRI and PMOI, these individuals are assured they are not alone, despite pervasive censorship and internet shutdowns. Baroness Redfern advocated for a decisive shift in UK policy, specifically urging the government to proscribe the IRGC, a move she described as a “long overdue” and significant strike against the regime’s machinery of repression. Central to her vision is the NCRI’s Ten-Point Plan , which offers a provisional framework for a democratic transition grounded in popular sovereignty and remains strictly “free from foreign intervention” . She argued that the January uprising clearly signaled the Iranian people’s rejection of both the current regime and any return to dictatorship. To achieve lasting stability, Redfern called for an imm...
