Paris, June 29, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 Addressing the Free Iran 2024 World Summit<\/a> in Paris,\u00a0former US Attorney General Michael Mukasey addressed the audience, extending greetings to Maryam Rajavi and supporters in Berlin, Ashraf 3, and Iran. Judge Mukasey emphasized the significance of the historically low voter turnout in the recent Iranian elections, viewing it as part of a broader trend of diminishing regime support, economic distress, and internal friction.<\/p>\n Judge Mukasey outlined the history of uprisings against the regime, starting from the 1979 revolution to the recent protests following the murder of Mahsa Amini. He underscored that these trends cannot continue indefinitely, implying the inevitable collapse of the regime. Judge Mukasey highlighted the responsibility of the NCRI to prepare for this eventuality, emphasizing the importance of Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/a> as a framework for Iran’s future.<\/p>\n The former US Attorney General concluded by expressing confidence in the NCRI’s ability to lead Iran into a new era, assuring them of the support of the United States government and the American people. He praised the NCRI for their dedication and expressed his praise for their responsibility and privilege in bringing about a new day for Iran and the world.<\/p>\n The full text of former US Attorney General Michael Mukasey\u2019s speech follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n I want to echo Judge Freeh’s warm greeting to Mrs. Rajavi, to those of you gathered here, but in particular, to those of you listening in Berlin, in Ashraf 3, and in Iran.<\/p>\n And to start out these very brief remarks, and they will be very brief, with reference to a recent event that was mentioned by Mrs. Rajavi and has been mentioned by others, and that is the historically low turnout in the election that was held, in quotes, the election, on Friday.<\/p>\n That event doesn’t stand alone. It’s part of a trend. It’s part of a trend that started shortly after the revolution in 1979, continued through the 1980s, with a massacre of thousands of people, after uprisings, continued into the 90s, and culminated, of course, in 2022, with a horrible murder, and that’s what it was, of Mahsa Amini, and the uprising that followed that, including by women, who are seizing the initiative.<\/p>\n That trend of uprisings is itself not alone, because along with it is a trend of diminishing support for the regime, and a trend of increasing economic distress, and a trend of friction even within the regime, as they struggle over the succession after the death of the unlamented Raisi.<\/p>\n There is a strong, bipartisan delegation of U.S. officials led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh and U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey attending the 2024 Free Iran World Summit. I am proud to support the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people. \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 pic.twitter.com\/c0aNVutNgm<\/a><\/p>\n — Ivan Sascha Sheehan, Ph.D. (@ProfSheehan) June 29, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
