For more than four decades, an extremely illegitimate regime in Iran has managed to deceive the world and sell the misleading assumption that the only available substitute to its own destructive reign would be chaos and the source of more instability in the Middle East. Responding to an increasingly discontent society and worldwide isolation, the regime tried to fool the world with the so-called \u201cmoderates\u201d and \u201creformists.\u201d<\/p>\n
Never falling for the regime\u2019s treachery, the Iranian Resistance exposed these tactics, and time proved those efforts futile when in 2017, protesters<\/a> across Iran chanted, \u201cReformists, principalists, the game is over!\u201d<\/p>\n Though, the power-thirsty regime in Tehran played a new game by initiating the \u201cfake alternative\u201d industry. Every now and then, some mid-level Iranian celebrity or dubious group was promoted to stardom, introducing itself as an alternative to the regime. Some even built coalitions that proved to be very short-living grouplets, and Tehran\u2019s message to the world and the Iranian people was eventually the same: there is no alternative to the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n Unimpeded by the regime\u2019s duplicity, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization expanded its network all across Iran and the Resistance Units<\/a> continued to challenge the regime\u2019s vast security apparatus and spread hope throughout society.<\/p>\n The Supreme Leader Khamenei felt increasingly threatened and launched a new initiative. Either through speeches at Friday prayer sermons<\/a> or using questionable elements in the Persian language media outlets abroad, the clerical tyranny started to promote a false narrative about the regime\u2019s options of replacement.<\/p>\n Certain that the former monarchy would never pose a threat to their rule, the mullahs and dubious media influencers\u2014 almost entirely with a background in the regime\u2019s propaganda machine\u2014 intensified their demonization campaign against the Iranian Resistance while promoting the former dictatorship of the monarchy.<\/p>\n Yet again, despite all the hoax and slander campaigns, the MEK<\/a> and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) remain the most active forces in challenging Tehran both domestically<\/a> and internationally<\/a>.<\/p>\n And the regime that openly and willingly boasts of terrorism and ridicules international scrutiny made sure to note that supporting the Iranian Resistance is a line that no one should cross<\/a>.<\/p>\n Though defamation, designation<\/a>, and terror threats have not deterred dozens of honorable leaders and legislators worldwide from backing down from a just cause. Their messages and speeches to the Iranian people and their freedom fighters will continue to defy the regime in Tehran and inspire hope for a restive nation.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Former US National Security Advisor General James Jones<\/strong>: \u201cIndeed, Iran has been the scene of ongoing protests over the past few years. People from all walks of life, all streets of the society, have defied beatings, arrests, and even death to come out to the street and call for the overthrow of the ruling theocracy. They chant, the enemy is right here. They lie when they say it’s America. The people of Iran reject tyranny and dictatorship, be it in the Shahs or the mullahs. They are looking to the future, to a democratically elected republic that believes in universal suffrage, gender, religious and ethnic equality, and an Iran nuclear-free that is at peace with its neighbors. These are, in fact, the highlights of Mrs. Rajavi’s ten-point plan for the future of Iran, which I have often described as a Jeffersonian document.\u201d<\/p>\n RT @iran_policy<\/a>: 4. Gen. James Jones, former National Security Advisor of the US: The people of Iran reject tyranny and dictatorships, be it Shah\u2019s or the Mullahs, and they are looking for a future for a democratically elected republic.#Westand4FreeIran<\/a>\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/usxXlNu9KK<\/a><\/p>\n — ADFS_BEL (@ADFS_BEL) August 15, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
