On May 23, more than 100 former heads of state like presidents, prime ministers as well as a former chancellor, joined forces to address their successors in the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada to call for action and support a movement that endeavors for regime change in Iran.<\/p>\n
The open letter that has now been signed by 115 former<\/a> leaders of the free world calls on their peers to recognize the four-decades-long struggle that has been going on against one of the most pressing challenges of global security: the terrorist regime in Iran.<\/p>\n Forming such an international consensus knows little precedent. In historical retrospect, such global accomplishments have merely addressed topics where political disagreement was the least, like peace between nations, climate change, or handling a pandemic.<\/p>\n However, in this letter, these leaders who have had the experience to lead their nations through challenging times are asking the most powerful men in the current world to adopt a firm policy vis-\u00e0-vis Tehran. With successful legacies of leading millions of people in their own countries, these leaders have recognized the 10-point-plan of Maryam<\/a> Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, as a reasonable answer to the potentially insecure post-revolutionary phase.<\/p>\n The bitter experience of two world wars has taught us that when the ambitious cruelty of a few tyrants is met with indifference by the civilized world when human lives cease to matter and moral becomes cheap, then insecurity will cross borders and eventually invades our naively taken-for-granted comfort zones.<\/p>\n Iran is a country with significant geopolitical magnitude. In recent history, it has triggered or spearheaded many groundbreaking changes on a global scale. The late Prime Minister Mossadegh’s nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company initially inspired Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt and other nations in the Middle East and beyond to combat Western colonialism and attain independence.<\/p>\n In the early 20th century, the country was viewed by world powers as a critical flashpoint between the West and the East (the USSR). When the popular uprising toppled Iran\u2019s Shah<\/a> in 1979, the new regime that claimed authority after that became the first substantial embodiment of an Islamic theocracy. Hence, all religious tendencies and extremist ideologies found inspiration and a material sponsor to lean on.<\/p>\n By: Alejo Vidal-Quadras — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) July 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
Last week, Iran\u2019s democratic Resistance movement won its latest victory in court against a media outlet that had chosen to repeat false allegations against Iran\u2019s main opposition organization, the MEK.https:\/\/t.co\/ysmAOtgJ6m<\/a><\/p>\n
