During a press conference on February 22, the Representative Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in Washington, D.C.,<\/a> brought attention to significant findings about Iran’s electoral process. Alireza Jafarzadeh, the Deputy Director, led the conference and discussed internal documents revealing that many Iranians are inclined to boycott the regime\u2019s elections. Additionally, the absence of various regime factions during the electoral proceedings was highlighted.<\/p>\n

Jafarzadeh, accompanied by international media representatives, dissected the regime’s electoral strategy led by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This strategy involved excluding rival factions and removing key regime figures. Jafarzadeh pointed out that this extensive purge reflects the regime’s fear of internal unrest and its efforts to strengthen warmongering and terrorism activities, which it deems vital for its survival.<\/p>\n

During the conference, Alireza Jafarzadeh delved into the role of the regime\u2019s parliament, highlighting that the Majlis functions primarily as a political and legal facade for the regime’s machinery of repression and terrorism. He stressed that the parliament’s actions typically result in passing laws and regulations that further escalate the suppression and executions of the Iranian people, offering no substantive solutions beyond these measures.<\/p>\n

Jafarzadeh emphasized the sweeping purge initiated by Khamenei during the electoral process, which led to the expulsion of rival factions and numerous individuals who had previously been loyal to him. He underscored that this purge is likely to erode the regime’s social support base, destabilize the entire system, and exacerbate power struggles and internal tensions within the regime. Additionally, he noted that historical precedent suggests that such purges are incapable of quelling uprisings and the activities of the People\u2019s Mojahedin of Iran-affiliated Resistance Units.<\/p>\n
