The gathering shows that Iranian people\u2019s protests are strongly backed both domestically and by the international community.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian regime officials and media meanwhile are expressing their fear of the gathering in their remarks, while still weeks away from the event.<\/p>\n<p>In a press conference held on Sunday June 11, 2018, regime\u2019s Foreign Ministry Spokesman claimed that \u201cRouhani\u2019s government has had talks with French officials for cancelling the gathering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bahram Ghasemi then reminded France that \u201cthe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MEK<\/a> (The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran which is the main force inside NCRI) holds gatherings in France every once in a while. This is not acceptable for Iran (the regime), as we\u2019ve said that no double standard approach should be adopted, thereby dividing the terrorism into a good one and a bad one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghasemi then began threatening France, saying \u201cthose who give permit for such gatherings are wrong, as they themselves will be affected by the consequences as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, parliament\u2019s National Security Commission Spokesman \u2018Naghavi Hosseini\u2019 has also attacked France for hosting MEK\u2019s Grand Gathering in Paris that, as he puts it, is centered on confrontation with the regime. \u201cMEK activities in Europe and their gatherings in European countries is contrary to such countries\u2019 claimed policy of fighting against terrorism\u201d, says Hosseini in his interview with state-run media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe MEK is going to harm Iran-Europe relationships\u201d, Says Hosseini, adding \u201cthe group is trying to destroy all peaceful interactions between Iran and Europe, and their upcoming gathering is aimed at affecting Europeans\u2019 approach, particularly at a time when JCPOA-related talks are under way between Europe and Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hosseini then warns regime\u2019s Foreign Ministry over the consequences of NCRI\u2019s Grand Gathering in Paris, saying \u201cunder such circumstances, Iran\u2019s diplomacy has to start talks with European counterparts, as the Islamic Republic will have to adopt a new and different policy should the Europeans decide to continue their partnership and interaction with the MEK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also in this regard, chairman of regime\u2019s Parliamentary Research Center \u2018Kazem Jalali\u2019 as well as head of Iran-Europe Parliamentary Relationships Group have written two different letters to their counterparts in European and French parliaments as well as the French Senate, warning over \u201cNCRI\u2019s hostile moves in France\u201d while expressing \u201cregime\u2019s disapproval of European countries\u2019 policy that allows such terrorist group\u2019s gatherings be held in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his letter to European Parliament\u2019s delegation for relations with Iran, chairman of regime\u2019s parliamentary research center has underlined that after the MEK was unexpectedly and politically taken off the European Union\u2019s terror list in 2009, a number of European officials as well as European Parliament members have participated in their meetings and gatherings.<\/p>\n<p>Jalali then warns Europeans over increased terrorist and extremist activities across Europe if they allow NCRI\u2019s gathering to be held.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo prevent expansion of terrorist and extremist activities to Europe, we need to have bilateral co-operation and fair interaction, and avoid double approaches\u201d, writes Jalali.<\/p>\n<p>Jalali links NCRI\u2019s Grand Gathering in Paris to the nuclear deal crisis, writing \u201cit shouldn\u2019t be forgotten that the NCRI\/MEK has not spared any direct or indirect effort to create a rift between the two sides (the Iranian regime and Europe), particularly following the US president\u2019s unilateral and unlawful withdrawal from the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a state TV Program discussing the NCRI\u2019s upcoming gathering in Paris, regime judiciary\u2019s International Deputy \u2018Mohammadjavad Larijani\u2019 responded to the moderator\u2019s question about the future of the regime following the NCRI\u2019s gathering, saying \u201cMEK\/NCRI is going to hold a gathering next week. A number of European and American officials, including Rudy Giuliani and John Bolton who\u2019s now the White House National Security Advisor, delivered speeches in MEK\u2019s gathering over the past several years, for which we have discussed our disapproval with the Europeans. Considering MEK\u2019s increased activities these days, the question is what role the Americans are going to play in this anti-Iranian scenario?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the effects of MEK\u2019s campaign on the protests inside Iran, regime judiciary\u2019s International Deputy responded \u201cwestern countries took the MEK off their terror list and now the group is once again active in Iran. The West believes that the MEK is the only group that could both be active in Iran and perform as an active political organization abroad as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As regime\u2019s all three branches \u2013the government, parliament and judiciary&#8211; have come on the scene to campaign or act against NCRI\u2019s Grand Gathering while still weeks away from the event, it could be clearly seen how the regime fears the gathering\u2019s domestic and international consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The gathering will inspire the protesters in rising cities across Iran while showing them that their protests are strongly backed, both domestically and by the international community.<br \/>The gathering is going to show the world in the most splendid way the Iranian people\u2019s solidarity on overthrowing the regime. That\u2019s when the regional and international consensus on regime change in Iran and recognizing the NCRI as a democratic alternative will be boosted.<\/p>\n<p>In a word, the NCRI\u2019s Grand Gathering is a strong domestic and international call for overthrowing the Iranian regime. That\u2019s exactly the message that has frightened the mullahs\u2019 regime, to the extent that they\u2019ve been forced to have early reactions against the gathering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mahmoud Hakamian Iran&rsquo;s economic and social crises are pushing the Iranian society deeper into an eruptive state, with the signs being clearly seen in significant increase in recent ongoing [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":51529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-24902","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-resistance","8":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
