But Mrs. Rajavi has also made it absolutely clear that foreign governments have a responsibility to recognize the Iranian people\u2019s desire for regime change, and their right to resistance against the clerical regime.<\/p>\n<p>The potential for further uprisings hasn\u2019t been seriously disputed by anyone with knowledge of Iranian affairs, not even by the Iranian regime itself. In fact, for nearly three years, the regime\u2019s officials have been warning one another about the growing social influence and organizational strength of the Iranian Resistance, particularly the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The MEK played a leading role not just during the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 2019 uprising<\/a> but also its prequel, another nationwide movement that emerged in the final days of 2017 then lasted through much of January 2018.

The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) published an additional list of the heroic victims of the Iranian people\u2019s uprising. The number of those killed in the protests that swept across 200 cities has risen to 1,500 According to reports received by the Iranian Resistance from inside the country, the Iranian regime\u2019s State Security Force alone has recorded 1,029 deaths related to the protests.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Khamenei\u2019s acknowledgment of the MEK\u2019s role was especially remarkable in light of the fact that it undermined literally decades of regime propaganda, through which Khamenei and his supporters had desperately sought to marginalize and delegitimize the MEK in the eyes of ordinary Iranians and especially international policymakers.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic seemingly stopped another uprising from happening. But there is no sense in which the legacy of the January 2018 or November 2019 uprisings has faded away over the past year. Reports continue to emerge of scattered political demonstrations and labor strikes. Meanwhile, the regime\u2019s officials remain every nervous about the prospect of a new uprising as they were in the immediate wake of those that have already occurred.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the current Iranian calendar year in March, Khamenei urged his thugs to keep close watch over student protests, for fear that they would inevitably take on the MEK\u2019s message of regime change and further expose the regime\u2019s unpopularity and vulnerability to a global audience. The speech was no doubt partly inspired by the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-protests\/27206-anti-regime-protests-by-university-students-in-tehran-over-the-downing-of-ukrainian-plane\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protests<\/a> that erupted across multiple provinces and especially on university campuses in January, after Tehran attempted to cover-up a missile strike by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/irgc-s-38-year-record-war-crackdown-exporting-terrorism-fundamentalist-and-advancing-the-nuclear-weapons-drive\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IRGC<\/a>) which <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/new-information-shed-more-lights-on-the-role-of-irans-senior-officials-irgc-in-downing-ukrainian-airliner\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">downed<\/a> a commercial airliner, killing 176 people.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those protests very nearly grew to constitute another nationwide uprising. This would have been remarkable in its own right, but because the campus protests took place less than two months after the November uprising, they made it especially apparent that the power dynamics are shifting between the Iranian regime and people. This is especially true in light of the fact that many protesters squarely focused their outrage on the Revolutionary Guards, even burning public images of the eliminated commander of the terrorist <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/the-iranian-regimes-irgc-quds-force-1980s-present\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quds<\/a> Force, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-fundamentalism\/27175-who-was-the-vicious-criminal-qassem-soleimani\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Qassem Soleimani<\/a>, who had been killed in a US drone strike just weeks earlier.<\/p>\n<p>As well as being Iran\u2019s main force for exporting terrorism, the IRGC is very often at the forefront of crackdowns on domestic dissent. This was certainly the case in November 2019 when Revolutionary Guards were the primary gunmen who opened fire on crowds of protesters in various Iranian cities, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/27081-over-1-500-killed-in-the-iranian-people-s-nationwide-uprising-names-of-504-martyrs-released\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">killing above 1,500<\/a> in a matter of only days, according to the MEK.<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing activities by defiant youth across Iran show that people have not been cowed by the repression. In fact, one might even argue that while repression has oppressed past uprisings and the regime\u2019s mismanagement of the coronavirus has slowed its re-emergence, these factors only deepen the people\u2019s resentment and help to make further uprisings inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian Resistance has urged European governments and the international community as a whole to stand ready to support the Iranian people and hold the regime accountable for the new human rights abuses it will surely use as part of its effort to regain social control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe change in Iran is the sovereign right of the Iranians.
