Later in 1982, it became the cornerstone of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a revolutionary front with the establishment of which a democratic alternative was raised against the mullahs\u2019 regime.<\/p>\n<p>Now after 37 years since being founded by Mr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/massoud-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Massoud Rajavi<\/a>, the council, as the oldest political coalition in Iran\u2019s history, has turned into the most distinguished and, as some say, the only serious opposition group that seeks overthrowing the mullahs\u2019 regime, as over the past four decades the group has uninterruptedly and steadfastly stuck to its political line and strategy, while never walking away from its demand for overthrowing of the mullah\u2019s regime.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Iranian people\u2019s nationwide uprising has changed the situation &#8211;causing the international community to side with people and Resistance of Iran and recognize for the first time their demand for overthrowing the mullahs\u2019 regime&#8211; it\u2019s quite natural for agents of both Shah and mullahs\u2019 dictatorships to hysterically react against this democratic alternative, since the remnants of Shah\u2019s dictatorship know quite well that they\u2019re nothing more than a burn card, while the affiliates of the mullahs\u2019 regime clearly see that their collapse at the hands of people and Resistance of Iran is imminent.<\/p>\n<p>But there are still some whose interests are best secured by keeping the current dictatorship, yet they dare not acknowledging it, so they\u2019ve either remained silent or even joined the first two groups.<\/p>\n<p>The fact, however, is that the rightfulness of NCRI\u2019s four decades of relentless battle has left no room for reactionary and colonial plots to form fake alternatives to succeed, because a real alternative is based on solid foundations and requirements that could undoubtedly be seen in the NCRI alone.<\/p>\n<p>Such prerequisites include: having a devoted force that has a proven record and is ready to fight, being raised by people and belonging to people, relying on no one, financially in particular, but its own people, being organized while having a democratic structure, having a coherent leadership and being distinguished both domestically and on an international level, having an introduced administrative system to be in place at the first stage after overthrowing the mullahs\u2019 regime, and finally having an announced platform containing democratic and advanced solutions for society\u2019s all major problems in tomorrow\u2019s free Iran.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the council and its members have stood strong in the midst of all types of developments affecting Iran, as the price they\u2019ve already paid for their people\u2019s freedom and victory doesn\u2019t allow them to be ignored by others, or the hostile plots against people and Resistance of Iran to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Such an opposition is going to hold its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/24749-on-june-30-the-world-will-see-an-alternative-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">annual grand gathering on June 30 in Paris<\/a>, to show the world who a democratic alternative really is.
