“We Cannot Wait”: Marc Ginsberg Calls for Action in New York

 “We gather with a solemn mission, a vital mission that cannot wait for another war, another crisis, or another president. We cannot wait,” Ambassador Ginsberg told the demonstration.

Beyond Condemnation: A Call for Action

Ambassador Ginsberg referenced harrowing accounts of imprisoned and tortured Iranians, as well as families whose loved ones were killed during nationwide protests. He argued that these profound sacrifices demand a robust response that goes far beyond standard public condemnation, emphasizing that Americans do not need to support an indefinite foreign war to actively assist Iranians seeking democratic change.


Strongly rejecting both hereditary rule and the clerical regime, Ginsberg asserted that Iran’s future must be determined solely by its people, rather than by a monarch, a supreme leader, or any foreign government. He highlighted the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s (NCRI) transition proposal and Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan as effective frameworks for organizing free elections, transferring sovereignty to an elected constituent assembly, and establishing a new constitutional order.


Shifting US Policy to Support the Opposition

Ginsberg called on Congress and the administration to consider greater backing for democratic transition efforts, including direct assistance to the NCRI and its proposed provisional government. He stressed that Washington must draw a clear line between choosing Iran’s political leadership—which belongs entirely to Iranians—and helping citizens exercise that fundamental right.


“Americans cannot and should not choose the leaders. Only the Iranian opposition and the Iranian people together can accomplish that,” he stated.


In concluding his remarks, Ambassador Ginsberg urged the international community to pay closer attention to the courage of the Resistance Units inside the country and called upon US lawmakers to intensify their engagement with the administration to shape a decisive, supportive Iran policy.

The Shah can't save Iran

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/
