The 2015 Iran <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/iran-nuclear-program-rafael-grossi-20210608\" rel=\"noopener\">nuclear deal,<\/a> or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is a prime example of that failed strategy, in that it gave away large-scale relief from economic sanctions in exchange for only limited restrictions on the regime\u2019s nuclear program, with additional limitations on international enforcement mechanisms.<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Iranian regime never abided by its commitments under the terms of the JCPOA. In addition, the regime began a nuclear extortion plan by explicitly violating the deal, when in 2018\u00a0the US\u00a0declared Iran to be out of compliance and halted American participation in it.\u00a0<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since April, negotiations have been ongoing in Vienna with the aim of restoring the JCPOA and bringing the US back into the fold under its new administration.

Many of the relevant speeches also highlighted changing circumstances inside\u00a0Iran\u00a0which could have a substantial impact on Western foreign policy decisions.\u00a0<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mrs. Rajavi specifically recommended on Sunday that the lawmakers involved in those decisions should approach any new negotiations framework with the understanding that \u201cthe mullahs only understand the language of firmness and strength.\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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the interest of conveying that language, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Mrs. Rajavi<\/a> further\u00a0underlined\u00a0those Western powers\u00a0aspire to \u201ccompletely close down the regime\u2019s bomb-making, enrichment and nuclear facilities,\u201d \u201coblige the clerical regime to withdraw the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Lebanon,\u201d and \u201coblige the mullahs to stop torturing and executing Iranians.\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 style=\"text-align: center\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-219239\" 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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The unique importance of this latter call was made clear by Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s comments on Saturday, as well as by a variety of other speeches on both days. Many of those emphasized the geopolitical context of Iran\u2019s June 18 presidential sham \u201celection\u201d which established Ebrahim Raisi as the regime\u2019s new second-highest official following a campaign that was effectively uncontested. The process roughly masked Raisi\u2019s direct promotion from the position of judiciary chief by the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. During his more than two years in the prior position, Raisi oversaw one of the regime\u2019s worst crackdowns on dissent, thereby consolidating the legacy of his participation in a historic massacre of political prisoners.<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jan\u0161a said in a speech at the Free Iran Summit on Saturday, \u201cFor almost 33 years, the world has forgotten 30,000 political prisoners the victims of the 1988 massacre.

But Mrs. Rajavi\u00a0in particular emphasized\u00a0that the regime\u2019s effort to consolidate power among human rights abusers also represents a state of desperation and vulnerability which\u00a0the international community should understand.<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Meanwhile, the Iranian Resistance strength increases daily in Iran. <\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mrs. Rajavi declared in her speech on Saturday that \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units\u201d<\/a> associated with the People\u2019s Mojahedin\u00a0Organization of Iran <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener\">(PMOI\/MEK)\u00a0\u201c<\/a>doubled\u201d their activity in 2020. Such escalation reflects the sociopolitical momentum created by two nationwide uprisings and countless other anti-regime\u00a0protests. In January 2018, Iranians chanted\u00a0slogans like \u201cdeath to the dictator\u201d in more than 100 cities simultaneously, and in November 2019 a spontaneous uprising brought the same slogans into the streets across nearly 200 localities all at once.<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The latter uprising met with extraordinary repression at the hands of Raisi\u2019s judiciary and other\u00a0regime\u00a0institutions like the Revolutionary Guards.\u00a0Over\u00a01,500 people were killed in a matter of only days, and thousands were subsequently tortured over a period of months. Nonetheless, renewed unrest spread across more than a dozen provinces once again in January 2020, signaling remarkable defiance of the regime\u2019s repressive strategies. Insofar as Raisi\u2019s appointment as president represents expanded commitment to those strategies, it also highlights the possibility of further clashes between the regime and its people.<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Accordingly, Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s remarks to the summit predicted that \u201chostility and enmity\u201d between these two sides \u201cwill intensify more than ever before\u201d in the weeks and months to come.\u00a0\u00a0The international community should side by the Iranian people and do not recognize a mass murderer like Raisi.\u00a0<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe urge the UN Security Council to arrange for the international prosecution of Raisi and to hold him accountable for crimes against humanity,\u201d Mrs. Rajavi said on Saturday, adding: \u201cThe mullahs\u2019 regime will never abandon acquiring nuclear weapons, export of terrorism, and warmongering in the region.
