Decisive Role of Women

An uprising that ignited with the spark of Jina Amini’s precious blood and was then set ablaze across all of Iran, from Tehran to Zahedan and Kurdistan, by the tragic martyrdom of a generation of courageous youth and teenagers like Hadis Najafi, Sarina Esmailzadeh, Mehrshad Shahidi, Khodanur Lojei, and Dr. Ebrahim Rigi. Their memories will never be forgotten.

We remember Zahedan’s Bloody Friday; the thousands of students suspended or expelled from their studies; the brave youth who built street barricades in Mahabad, Javanrud, Sanandaj, and Kamyaran; and the fighting spirit of the PMOI Resistance Units—of whom Qalibaf, the speaker of the regime’s parliament, later admitted months down the line: “They played the greatest role in executing and organizing these events.”

The 2022 uprising spread the unifying cry, “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the (mullahs’) Leader!” and unveiled the decisive role of women—a path paved by decades of sacrifice and courage from steadfast PMOI and other women fighters.

Salute to the vanguard women, especially the female students who boldly chanted, “With or without the hijab, forward toward revolution!”—thwarting every effort to derail the movement, just as the fundamental slogan of “Neither Shah nor the Mullahs” gained greater force and validity than ever before.

The Shah can't save Iran

Image
When authoritarian regimes start to wobble, outside observers often reach instinctively for the single, familiar idea of ‘the alternative’. It is a human reflex, but a dangerous one. In Iran, as the clerical theocracy shows signs of fracture and the country’s crisis deepens, some Western voices have begun to flirt with a thought that feels neat and historically legible: the return of the Shah’s son. That would be a profound mistake. Iran’s tragedy since 1979 has been that an autocracy was replaced by another autocracy. The lesson should be plain: changing the personality at the top is not enough. What matters is the nature of the state and the source of its legitimacy. Iran does not need a restoration. It needs a foundation for a democratic future. It has been argued that Reza Pahlavi could play a unifying role, perhaps as a symbolic constitutional monarch. But this misunderstands both Iran’s recent history and the political psychology of revolutions. The last Shah was not a constituti...

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.

The Only Path Ahead

Image
The situation in Iran has reached an exceptional moment. The clerical regime no longer faces multiple options or divergent paths. It confronts only one trajectory: either downfall through international belligerence and domestic repression, or downfall through retreat. Conversely, the Iranian people also face no range of choices. There is only one path—and one path alone: an organized uprising leading to the overthrow of religious tyranny in Iran . Yes, only one destination lies before us: victory . Only one path stretches ahead: a democratic revolution, the transfer of power to the Iranian people through democratic means, and, ultimately, the establishment of a democratic republic in Iran. https://www.maryam-rajavi.com/en/conference-at-the-european-parliament-europe-cannot-remain-silent-or-passive/
