There is no doubt that the Iranian regime supports terrorist groups in the region, but when it comes to addressing the destructive role of the Iranian regime, all parties hesitate and express doubt. The reason for this hesitation is not the lack of awareness of the Iranian regime\u2019s detrimental activities in the region, but rather the prevailing policy of indecisiveness and appeasement towards it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no doubt the Iranian regime actively fans the fires of war in the region, including the most recent episode that we\u2019re seeing today. Khamenei and his Revolutionary Guards take advantage of the devastating war in the Middle East to escape the regime\u2019s overdue overthrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/intelligence-reports\/exclusive-reports\/50150-regime-change-in-iran-a-prerequisite-for-peace-and-stability-in-the-middle-east\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Copenhagen, Denmark &#8211; October 27, 2023: MEK supporters rally in solidarity with the Iran Revolution<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Copenhagen, Denmark - October 27, 2023: MEK supporters rally in solidarity with the Iran Revolution\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_WabkHLKIx0Y\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FWabkHLKIx0Y%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WabkHLKIx0Y\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M11S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-10-27T17:44:00Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_WabkHLKIx0Y\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FWabkHLKIx0Y%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Copenhagen, Denmark - October 27, 2023: MEK supporters rally in solidarity with the Iran Revolution<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WabkHLKIx0Y\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FWabkHLKIx0Y%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Copenhagen, Denmark - October 27, 2023: MEK supporters rally in solidarity with the Iran Revolution\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"#Copenhagen, #Denmark - October 27, 2023: Freedom-loving Iranians and #MEK supporters held a rally in solidarity with the #IranRevolution, demanding #BlacklistIRGC and #IranRegimeChange.
