He criticized Europe\u2019s historical reliance on appeasement and urged a shift toward a firmer stance, including sanctions, blacklisting the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization, and expelling Tehran\u2019s operatives in Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The former Prime Minister also lauded the efforts of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and endorsed its leader, Maryam Rajavi, for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/plan-for-future-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her Ten-Point Plan<\/a> advocating democracy and human rights in Iran. Concluding, Jan\u0161a stressed that regime change in Iran is inevitable, calling it the only path to regional peace and stability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The full text of Janez Jan\u0161a\u2019s speech follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mrs. President, Maryam Rajavi, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished, participants, esteemed leaders, dear friends, dear friends in Albania, and Ashraf III, thank you for this honor to be able to address you at this important conference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have said this many times and, we are going to repeat this message as long as needed. The people of Iran deserve democracy, freedom, and the protection of human rights. It was said many times, but as I said, we will repeat it as long as it is needed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u26a0\ufe0f\u203c\ufe0fNew Policy on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>: <\/p>\n<p>Privileged to speak at International Conference- Paris-<br \/>11 January 2025 with:<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Maryam_Rajavi<\/a>, Lt.

Today, we confront a profound crisis that challenges both regional and international peace and security driven by the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This regime not only perpetuates severe international repression but has also broadened its destructive influence across borders, not only in its neighborhood but also in its open military support for Russia and against Ukraine as it was described by Prime Minister Tymoshenko, recently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For over 45 years, Europe&#8217;s policy towards Iran has primarily focused on attempting to change the regime&#8217;s behavior through a strategy of carrots and sticks. Regrettably, far too often offering carrots as was very accurately described before by Prime Minister Truss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, I will not repeat it because I agree completely with what you have said. As I said, this policy has failed mostly because it has overlooked the most critical elements in Iran. The people themselves, and the organized resistance movement that is active nationwide under the leadership of President Maryam Rajavi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The past year marked a dramatic escalation in the regime&#8217;s brutal tactics with some 1,000 executions recorded. I repeat, recorded. I believe that there are many others that are not recorded, and we have to be aware of that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/countries\/iran\/20240717-SR-Iran-Findings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a July 2024 report<\/a>, the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran found Iranian officials responsible for ongoing crimes against humanity and genocide. Even the United Nations, an organization that has not been very accurate in describing the situation in totalitarian regimes, noticed this. So, it has to be it has to be tragic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Internally, Iran faces an economic meltdown in a citizenry that exists despite severe crackdowns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regionally, the shocking fall of Assad, a lynchpin of the Iranian regime&#8217;s Middle East strategy, has significantly unhinged the regime, exposing its vulnerabilities and diminishing its strategic foothold in the region.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Former \ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddee PM <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JJansaSDS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JJansaSDS<\/a> urges EU foreign policy chief <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kajakallas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@kajakallas<\/a> to adopt a new Iran strategy:<br \/>1\u20e3 Enforce existing sanctions<br \/>2\u20e3 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BlacklistIRGC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BlacklistIRGC<\/a><br \/>3\u20e3 End Iran&#39;s oil exports<br \/>4\u20e3 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ShutDownIranTerrorEmbassies?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ShutDownIranTerrorEmbassies<\/a><br \/>5\u20e3 Support <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NCRIAlternative?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NCRIAlternative<\/a><br \/>6\u20e3 Recognise Resistance Units&#39; right to fight IRGC <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qh6YpBlH83\">pic.twitter.com\/qh6YpBlH83<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; M.

There will be significant changes in the United States in the policy toward the Middle East as it was described before by esteemed speakers from the United States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is why I think that also the partially new EU leadership, especially, the part of it under the foreign policy, stewardship chief of the High Representative Madam Kaja Kallas\u200b\u200b presents an opportune moment to recalibrate to recalibrate EU approach towards Iran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We must transition from engagement to a poster of firmness reflecting the gravity of the Iranian regime sections and the resilience of its people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Part of that recalibration must be to stand with the organized structured resistance movement in Iran. This is very important. The European Union&#8217;s revised strategy should emphasize, first, rigorous enforcement of existing sanctions, then blacklisting the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is not very difficult to do. Only political decision is needed. But it will it will have significant repercussions. Then, the introduction of targeted new measures to cut off the regime&#8217;s financial lifelines. Partly, as it was also described before, through the oil exports.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"sl\" dir=\"ltr\">Iskanje re\u0161itev za krizna \u017eari\u0161\u010da, za konec trpljenja milijonov ljudi ter ve\u010djo varnost Evrope in sose\u0161\u010dine: <br \/>general Keith Kellogg <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/generalkellogg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@generalkellogg<\/a>, nekdanji svetovalec za nacionalno varnost ameri\u0161kega predsednika in podpredsednika, aktualni posebni odposlanec za Ukrajino in\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/89KXUgn07P\">pic.twitter.com\/89KXUgn07P<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Janez Jan\u0161a (@JJansaSDS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JJansaSDS\/status\/1878898380698783909?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then the closure of at least some regime&#8217;s diplomatic outposts in Europe, which could be misused as hubs for orchestrating terrorism, and also the expulsion of Tehran&#8217;s operatives who continue their malignant activities on European soil. Everything was proven, so there is no secret in this. It just has to be done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then, of course, strong support for the National Council of Resistance of Iran and its democratic vision.

Change in Iran is inevitable. Regime change and peaceful transition of power back to the Iranian people is crucial. Also, this is the only viable solution to stop exporting terrorism, bringing peace and stability to the Middle East and wider region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And finally, my sincere advice regarding the peaceful transition of power after the collapse of the war regime. A peaceful transition is a very noble goal. The victor has to be generous not to retaliate against ordinary members or followers of the regime. But for the leadership of the regime, for those who committed terrible crimes against your compatriots, who murdered your brothers and sisters, taking them as political prisoners, for the prosecutors of the regime, there has to be justice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There has to be justice also because of the historical lesson. History teaches us that unpunished evil always returns. Unpunished evil always comes back. There was no justice after the collapse of the evil empire of the Soviet Union. And this is the main reason this is the main reason we are facing Russian aggression against Ukraine. Don&#8217;t repeat this mistake. But first, the change has to happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To make this change a reality as soon as possible, it is crucial to recognize that Iran has a democratic alternative in the form of the National Council of the Resistance of Iran, which has presented a clear plan for the transition, and it deserves international support and unwavering international support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new or partially new leadership has to extend gratitude to all of you for your dedication and unwavering commitment to the cause of a free run, which brings peace and stability to the region as well. Your fight for freedom is our common fight for this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 11, addressing an international conference in Paris, Janez Jan&scaron;a, former Prime Minister of Slovenia and leader of the Democratic Party, delivered a stirring call for global solidarity with [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":309505,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[222],"class_list":{"0":"post-327757","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-resistance","8":"tag-iranian-resistance"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
