Each year, I feel that we come closer to our goal of a free Iran. And<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">this year is certainly no exception. The end of the religious dictatorship is in sight. And the mullahs know it. They know their days are numbered. You can see it and you can feel it in their acts of desperation and their inability to reform. The mullahs know the economy is in shambles, driven to bankruptcy by systemic corruption, by incompetence, and by <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">international<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">sanctions<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> imposed on the regime for its sponsorship of terrorism, its pursuit of nuclear <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">weapons<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and i<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">t<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">s foreign adventurisms that have robbed the Iranian people of their prosperity and their very livelihood. The regime has nowhere to turn to reverse this economic freefall. And selling out the country&#8217;s economic future to China is just the next desperate move that will only further ensure the regime&#8217;s demise.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The mullahs know that they have lost all legitimacy. The Iranian people have now become the principal threat to the regime. The mass killings in the streets across Iran are acts of desperation by a dying regime. Again, there is nowhere to turn. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is nowhere to hide for those on the wrong side of history. The mullahs know that the people will never forgive them for their role in the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">human<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> tragedy<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> t<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">hat is caused tens of thousands of deaths from the coronavirus pandemic, a pandemic that continues to ravage the country. While the mullahs may try to hide the truth, the people know. And the mullahs know that the people know. As Senator Torricelli stated, the game is up, the game is up.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While we prepare for the end of the regime, the mullahs&#8217; only response is more corruption and more repression of the people. So, what must be done? We must keep the pressure on the regime from the outside. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It&#8217;s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> working and it must not be relieved by a return to policies of appeasement. We<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">must not throw the regime a lifeline by pursuing new fatally flawed agreements in exchange for <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">more old<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> false and broken promises. We must work to cut off access to arms by extending the arms embargo. As Mrs. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rajavi<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> has said, not a single bullet<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, not a single bullet. We must deny the regime any legitimacy by telling the truth, by keeping the focus on its reign of terror over the past 40 years. The recent House of Representatives resolution with wide bipartisan support is an important step, as are the growing calls to hold those members of the regime responsible for crimes against humanity. Here I can only second the recommendations just made by Director Freeh. We owe it to the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">martyrs,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and we owe it to the future.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most important, we must support the democratic opposition, the NCRI, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">MEK<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and most important the brave resistance units inside Iran. W<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">e<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> must also continue to fight against the false narrative <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">surrounding<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> the MEK that had become deeply ingrained given the regime&#8217;s massive and sustained disinformation campaign, served by an echo chamber of regime apologists who often masquerade as journalists and thinktank experts. We know that regime change must come from within. We know regime change will come from within. Mrs. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rajavi<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and the 10-point plan provide the vision for effective action and the means to ensure a peaceful <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">transition<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to a secular, non-<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">nuclear<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">democratic<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and free Iran.
