Expensive friends, Ms. Tymoshenko, Mr. Kiska, Mr. Quiroga, Mr. Verhofstadt, Mr. Renzi, Mr. Bartumeu,
Mr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras and Mr. Stevenson,
I’m delighted to welcome you to the workplace of the Nationwide Council of Resistance of Iran, the Resistance’s Parliament in exile.
Your initiative in calling upon world leaders to take decisive actions in opposition to the spiritual fascism ruling Iran and standing by the Iranian folks marks a turning level in the worldwide method in direction of the problem of Iran.
Two days in the past was the anniversary of the brutal suppression of a peaceable demonstration by half-a-million PMOI sympathizers in Tehran on June 20, 1981. Khomeini’s IRGC forces turned the demonstration right into a massacre and began the wave of executions on that night time.
The clerical regime in Iran has additionally engaged in exporting terrorism, warmongering, and spiritual fundamentalism past Iran’s borders. It’s no coincidence that such a big quantity of world dignitaries have joined your initiative in opposition to the regime.
Right now, the clerical regime finds itself in its last part. The rebellion that started in September 2022 confirmed that the Iranian folks need to overthrow the ruling regime and are ready to make sacrifices to attain this aim.
Girls have a number one position in the uprisings, following 40 years of battle by freedom-loving PMOI ladies and different combatant ladies in opposition to this brutal regime.
The latest rebellion additionally revealed that regardless of the Iranian folks’s horrible circumstances and rising discontent, spiritual tyranny has no answer. The regime’s solely approach out is to escalate repression, export of terrorism, and warmongering.
On the similar time, it has elevated its efforts to discredit the democratic opposition by means of a disinformation marketing campaign each inside Iran and overseas.
The clerical regime, which is beset by common uprisings and social discontent, has began a brand new part of harmful and aggressive actions, starting from shifting nearer to buying nuclear weapons to involvement in the bloodbath and destruction of Ukraine; they know no limits.
Just lately, following the rise in these assaults, the Ukrainian authorities introduced a invoice to the parliament for imposing a 50-year sanction on the spiritual fascism ruling in Iran.
The regime’s habits is the product of the West’s coverage of appeasement over the previous 40 years. Now’s the time for a elementary change in that coverage.
The coverage of appeasement has had disastrous outcomes lately: The violent assault by 1200 police forces on PMOI refugees in Albania, which led to the demise of one and harm of greater than 100, and the banning of the July 1 rally by Iranians in Paris.
Each incidents, which came about on the behest of the Iranian regime, violated some of the basic rules of Europe, like the liberty of speech and meeting, and the precise to asylum.
Additionally they violated worldwide conventions such because the Conference on the Rights of Refugees, the Common Declaration of Human Rights, and the European Conference on Human Rights.
The continuation of the appeasement coverage has emboldened the regime in pursuing its harmful insurance policies.
Expensive mates,
Throughout the rebellion, the position of the organized resistance community, and its Resistance Models, in varied cities has grow to be extra evident than ever earlier than. They play a key position in advancing the rebellion and driving it towards the regime’s overthrow.
These networks proceed to hold on the widespread resistance of the Iranian folks in opposition to spiritual dictatorship over the previous 4 many years.
The Resistance’s adherence to its rules of battle together with independence, liberty, common sovereignty, and the rejection of the Shah and the mullahs’ dictatorships have turned the Iranian Resistance into the focus of the Iranian folks’s belief.
The Nationwide Council of Resistance is a coalition made of varied political tendencies and beliefs, established years in the past. The NCRI has offered the nationwide capability to battle and to mobilize all freedom-loving forces looking for the regime’s overthrow.
In keeping with the NCRI plan, a provisional authorities takes management following the regime’s overthrow, to carry elections inside six months for the Constitutional Meeting.
The meeting will then elect a brand new provisional authorities and oversee its actions. As well as, it’s liable for drafting the structure of the brand new republic.
We by no means compromise our values to achieve or protect energy. An important factor for us is creating circumstances the place the folks of Iran can freely decide their very own future. Greater than 100,000 of the Resistance’s members and supporters have been executed for this trigger.
Two years in the past, in the course of the annual gathering of the Iranian Resistance, Prime Minister Verhofstadt mentioned, “We must not ever shut our eyes to the terrorist makes an attempt of the Iranian regime, even on European soil, and the human rights violations that happen in Iran each single day.”
Throughout the identical gathering, Prime Minister Renzi summarized the true answer by saying, “We’ve got to return again to open the doorways of Iran to the worldwide group and the worldwide group to Iran. However the one approach is thru regime change.”
Sure, it’s the proper of the folks of Iran to overthrow a regime that introduced them nothing however oppression and plunder. America Declaration of Independence and the Common Declaration of Human Rights, amongst others, have acknowledged this proper.
Your ground-breaking initiative, emphasizing the need of recognizing the Iranian folks’s demand for freedom, is a strategic response to the basic mistake in the coverage in direction of Iran. It is going to open a brand new chapter that focuses on respecting the Iranian folks’s want to overthrow this regime.
I do know that short-term financial pursuits and political issues put obstacles in adopting a agency coverage however a agency coverage vis-à-vis the regime in Iran just isn’t solely the Iranian folks’s demand but in addition the necessity for peace and safety in in the present day’s world.
To this finish, the Iranian Resistance proposes the next actions:
1- Designating the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group, and confronting the IRGC presence past Iranian borders, together with in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen.
2- Recognizing the precise of the Iranian folks to defend themselves in opposition to the IRGC and to overthrow the regime and set up a democratic republic primarily based on the separation of faith and state.
3- Activating the snapback mechanism in keeping with the United Nations Safety Council Decision 2231, implementing the six UN Safety Council Resolutions, shutting down all nuclear and missile packages in breach of UN resolutions, and conducting unconditional inspections of the regime’s nuclear and missile services.
4- Referring to the file of the brutal and systematic violations of human rights in Iran to the UN Safety Council and bringing to justice the regime’s leaders for 40 years of genocide and crimes in opposition to humanity.
5- Chopping off common financial offers and imposing complete sanctions, notably oil and banking sanctions, to chop the regime’s lifelines that solely finance the oppression of the Iranian folks, growth of nuclear weapons, terrorism and regional interventions.
6- Figuring out the regime as a risk to international peace and safety, topic to Chapter VII of the United Nations Constitution.
Absolutely, we can have many allies amongst distinguished political leaders like yourselves and among the many folks of democratic international locations in attaining these aims.
Thanks all in your assist.

Final week, President Macron spent an hour and a half on the phone with Raisi, the Butcher of Tehran. How on earth can somebody spend an hour and a half talking with the Butcher of Tehran? We perceive the stress on Anthony Blinken, the US Secretary of State. We see that he has been negotiating with the Iranian regime to resurrect the zombie JCPOA deal.
The Biden administration is appeasing the mullahs’ regime, and I imagine he has put stress on the Albanian authorities, and they attacked Ashraf 3. Many of the Ashraf 3 residents had been hospitalized.
This was a raid organized by SPAC, the company from Tirana, which is run by a puppet of the Individuals. I’m afraid that Individuals have their fingerprints throughout this horrible raid, and you may hint all of it the best way again to Tehran.
We’ve got the bulk in the US Congress, in Italy and the Netherlands and Iceland and Norway, and many extra international locations, and 117 former world leaders signed the letter that I referred to at the start of this session.
And that included 52 former presidents, 54 former prime ministers, one former chancellor, two former presidents of the European Fee, and three Nobel Laureates.
And even Mike Pence added his signature in direction of the tip of final week. So, the assist has been magnificent, and we thank all of you, notably these of you who’ve come right here in the present day.
The significance of that letter is extremely vital as a result of you have got managed to interrupt the wall of silence that engulfed Iran for a few years.
So, it’s going to be my nice privilege to reasonable this assembly. And might I begin by inviting the one who is probably the most charismatic chief that I do know, combating for many years for the resurrection of democracy and justice, and peace in her nation. It’s a fantastic privilege to be right here and to welcome Mrs. Mariam Rajavi.
Man Verhofstadt Prime Minister of Belgium (1999-2008)
First of all, I need to thank particularly Mrs. Rajavi for the invitation. I feel it’s an excellent second to arrange this convention at this second when we’ve printed an open letter on the twenty third of Could, signed by a minimum of 109 former prime ministers, heads of state, and political leaders.
The primary conclusion of in the present day is the very first time, as Mr. Stevenson mentioned, so many politicians are united in calling for a brand new method, a radically new method in direction of Iran. And with this letter that we despatched to the world leaders of in the present day, we ask them, in truth, to alter technique and to take decisive steps in opposition to the present regime in Tehran.
The letter is, first and foremost, I feel, a standard dedication or dedication. Or promise that we are going to not be silent till the regime of the mullahs is gone in this world. And till there are free and democratic elections organized in Iran. As a result of, let’s be sincere, that requests a change in technique.
Till now, actually, in the West, we’ve all the time thought that it was necessary that the one approach ahead was to not slam the doorways, to be prepared for diplomacy, and to maintain speaking to Iran.
We thought It will deliver salvation and that the regime was made out of dangerous guys to much less dangerous guys, and that we might get outcomes by persevering with to speak to those so-called moderates of the regime.
We’ve got to say in the present day that this technique, this method was incorrect. The truth is, there aren’t any moderates in the regime of Iran. There isn’t a one.
