Some of these have been hopeful, as in the outbreak of two nationwide uprisings against aimed at securing freedom and democracy for the Iranian people. More have been tragic, as in the outbreak of coronavirus, which remains entirely uncontrolled roughly six months after the first Iranian cases were recognized. But virtually all of the latest developments point to the potential for dramatic change in the near future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Iranian society awaits a trigger to explode. This risen people of Iran, and their Resistance movement should be supported by <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">international community. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/our-resistance\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NCRI\u2019s<\/a> annual gatherings represent opportunities to inspire action in support of the democratic Resistance movement. But even though numerous individual politicians and experts on Middle Eastern affairs have made their endorsements known, the governments they represent have consistently remained reluctant about the prospect of alienating Tehran\u2019s current government.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For a long time, this reluctance has been influenced by false assumptions<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, narrated by the regime regime\u2019s apologists<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> regarding the prospect for an alternative. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This bogus narrative<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> suggest<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> that the organized opposition is either non-existent or lacking in meaningful popular support. The <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">regime\u2019s apologists portrayed the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">mullahs\u2019 grip on power as firm, legitimate, and practically unshakeable. Yet both of these premises have been seriously called into question over the years. Now they appear to be hanging on by a thread, and there is little reason why they should survive the policy discussions that will grow out of the Free Iran Global Summit.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is because representatives of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/our-resistance\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NCRI<\/a> can be expected to highlight for an international audience the recent successes of the Iranian Resistance.

He went on to note that the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">MEK\u2019s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> effort to overturn that system is likely to become a guiding principle of forthcoming student protests unless the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Basij<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and other hardline authorities effectively suppress it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is the conclusion that anyone would be forced to draw after observing the previous two uprisings and seeing how they shattered the regime\u2019s <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ridiculous <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">portrayal of the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">MEK<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> as a cult or a \u201cgrouplet\u201d that posed little to no threat to the mullahs\u2019 hold on power. The organization\u2019s popularity and strength were demonstrated not only by Khamenei\u2019s acknowledgment that it had \u201cplanned for months\u201d to facilitate the demonstrations, but also by the scale and diversity of the nation\u2019s embrace of <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">MEK<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> platforms and slogans.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Across the entire country, participants in both the 2018 and the 2019 uprisings were heard to chant \u201cdeath to the dictator\u201d and \u201cdeath to Rouhani\u201d <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">in reference to<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> the supreme leader and the regime\u2019s president. The public demonstrations also explicitly repudiated <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">both of <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the regime\u2019s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> factions, making it clear that the public\u2019s preference was for an alternative outside the mainstream of th<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is medieval regime<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> It is a sentiment much like that which has been expressed by the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Iranian Resistance<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in calls for the boycott of national elections, whereby the organization\u2019s leadership urged Iranians to \u201cvote for regime change.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nearly entire of<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Iran\u2019s population took part in such a boycott last February, despite Tehran covering up the start of the coronavirus outbreak and urgently commanding voters to go to the polls. The parliamentary election was marked by the lowest rate of voter participation<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, even based on the regime\u2019s engineered statistics,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> in the 41-year history of the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">regime<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, making it perhaps the latest of many indicators that the country is primed for a change of government.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All of those signs will be recalled for the international community at the global summit. By all rights, this should prompt leading policymakers to finally let go of their false assumption that <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">regime <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">change in Iran is unlikely. With each electoral boycott and anti-government uprising, it appears increasingly clear that such change is not only attainable but may be inevitable.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This still leaves the question of what that change can be expected to entail. But this too will be outlined in detail by speakers at the Free Iran event.
