My Commitment

If you ask what guarantee there is that such a republic will remain faithful to these lofty ideals, seek the answer in the generations who, throughout a sixty-one-year struggle against both the Shah and the Mullahs, have entered the battlefield inspired by the ideals of freedom.

Time and again, the steadfast PMOI prisoners wrote to me from their prison cells:

“We shall stand firm until the very end.”

Now, in answer to these steadfast martyrs, to the martyrs of the 1988 massacre, to every steadfast political prisoner, to the generation that has entered this struggle prepared to sacrifice everything to defeat this regime, and above all before the people of Iran, let me declare:

Every drop of blood they spilled from your bodies throughout these forty-eight dark years;

Every lash that fell upon your backs;

Every minute of your lives spent captive in dungeons and torture chambers;

And everything in your lives that was destroyed by poverty, the pandemic, and the regime’s warmongering—

All of it only deepens my responsibility and that of the entire Resistance movement.

My commitment is an unbreakable covenant to secure freedom for all the people of Iran—regardless of their ethnicity, political conviction, beliefs, religion, or creed.

My commitment is to defend Iran’s freedom, honor, and independence against every form of dictatorship and every form of subjugation, however arduous and winding the road may be, through its seven trials of hardship and suffering.

But what of that?

We remain steadfast in this covenant.

This is my pledge, and it is our pledge.

Our covenant with the martyrs who fell for freedom.

Our covenant with the people of Iran.

Our covenant with Massoud Rajavi—

Until our last breath,

Until our last drop of blood.
