Protests are erupting with increasing intensity across the country. On the other hand, the regime has no answer except to step up repression, executions, or torture in its prisons. The people of Iran have the right to resist, much like the war of independence in America. The mullahs have occupied our country. People now chant, \u201cOur enemy is right here; they lie when they say it\u2019s America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cThe Iranian Resistance set a historical example: the resistance of a nation can change the course of history towards freedom. External conditions are effective only when a fighting force on the ground is prepared to pay the price. In the past year, the MEK Resistance Units in Iran carried out more than 2,350 campaigns against the repression that paved the way for uprisings across our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cBy promoting the separation of religion and state, this alternative is a solution to establish democracy in Iran and an obstacle to Islamic fundamentalism in the entire region. The mullahs\u2019 regime has made every effort to cover up this truth. Demonizing the Iranian Resistance, censoring its news, and denying its popular support are all intended to cover up the truth. Now that all illusions about any reform within the regime in Iran have disappeared, the mullahs are investing in a non-existent Shah to divert the uprisings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cTehran rulers are at their weakest point. They face the Iranian people\u2019s uprisings for change. We can and must rid Iran, the Middle East, and the world of the evil of nuclear mullahs. The November 2019 uprising, with its rebellious cities and the Army of freedom, showed the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cToday, the world clearly sees that the policy of appeasement of the mullahs has failed. This is a regime that gives a bomb to its diplomat to blow up the gathering of the Iranian Resistance where hundreds of distinguished international personalities were present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>\u201c<\/strong>The Iranian regime\u2019s dossier on human rights violations and terrorism, particularly the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, and the crackdown on protesters in November 2019 must be referred to the UN Security Council, and the regime\u2019s leaders must be prosecuted for committing genocide and crimes against humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cIf the regime did not intend to provoke wars, its conventional army would have sufficed. Therefore, the Revolutionary Guard Corps (the IRGC) must be dismantled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Like Ukraine, the Iranian people and their Resistance deserve international recognition and support. The war of Iran\u2019s rebellious youths against the terrorist IRGC to overthrow the regime must be recognized,\u201d NCRI President-elect concluded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
