Thousands Of Opponents to Iran’s Authorities Rallied In Paris<\/h3>\n

PARIS, Feb 8 (Reuters) – Thousands of opponents to Iran’s authorities rallied in Paris on Saturday, joined by Ukrainians to call for the fall of the government in Tehran, hopeful that U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘maximum pressure’ campaign could lead to change in the country.<\/p>\n

The protest, organised by the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which is banned in Iran, comes as two of the group’s members face imminent execution with a further six sentenced to death in November.<\/p>\n

“We say your demise has arrived. With or without negotiations, with or without nuclear weapons, uprising and overthrow await you,” NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi said in a speech. People from across Europe often bussed in for the event, waved Iranian flags and chanted anti-government slogans amid images deriding Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

The Grand Rally of Iranians on The 46th Anniversary of The Anti-Monarchic Revolution in Paris<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi\u2019s speech: \u201cThe generation of the 1979 Revolution was massacred time and again, shackled in chains, and bombarded with lies and demonization. Yet, it endured and multiplied in the rebellious and uprising generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey sought to extinguish and bury Iran\u2019s revolution. But under\u00a0Massoud Rajavi<\/a>\u2019s leadership, the flames rose from the ashes, burning brighter than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the remnants of the Shah\u2019s regime, the February Revolution is a curse. But for the galaxy of martyrs and those who rise in rebellion, it remains a celebration of victory over monarchy. Though the mullahs hijacked that revolution, their time has run out\u2014a new revolution is in the making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iranian Resistance Leader Calls for ‘Another Revolution’ to ‘Topple’ The Corrupt ‘Dictatorship’<\/h3>\n

\"just-the-news-logo\"<\/p>\n

Maryam Rajavi, leader of the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) and president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, told demonstrators on Saturday that the time has come for a “another revolution” to topple the Iranian regime of “executions and massacre.”<\/p>\n

Rajavi organized a “grand rally” of Iranians for the 46th anniversary of the anti-monarchic revolution in Paris.<\/p>\n

“Today, Iran\u2019s cities are overflowing with protests and strikes from workers, nurses, teachers, the plundered, and retirees. Tens of millions are deprived of basic necessities such as electricity, water, housing, and even basic food and healthcare,” she said at\u00a0the rally<\/a>\u00a0which was attended by thousands of demonstrators.<\/p>\n

Thousands Rally in Paris Against Iran’s Leaders<\/h3>\n

Paris (AFP) \u2013\u00a0<\/em>Several thousand Iranians came from across Europe to rally in Paris on Saturday, calling on world leaders to put greater pressure on the Islamic republic’s ruling clerics.<\/p>\n

“Instead of appeasing the mullahs, (the international community) should stand side by side with the Iranian people,” Maryam Rajavi, president of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told the rally.<\/p>\n

Iran’s opposition abroad has been emboldened by the fall in late 2024 of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a longtime ally of Tehran.<\/p>\n

“As Syria did with Bashar al-Assad, the Iranian people will free themselves of the mullahs, and it will be in 2025,” said Belgium’s former prime minister Guy Verhofstadt.<\/p>\n

PMOI Resistance Units in Zahedan Reject All Forms of Dictatorship in A New Wave of Anti-Regime Activities<\/h3>\n

\"\"As the anniversary of the 1979 revolution approaches, the Resistance Units of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) in Zahedan have launched a widespread campaign of spreading messages against the mullahs\u2019 regime. Despite the suffocating atmosphere of repression and intense security surveillance, the Resistance Units managed to convey their messages calling for freedom and justice, at a time when the regime continues its brutal crackdown on dissent.<\/p>\n

Amidst the severe security restrictions, the Resistance Units displayed slogans rejecting both the former monarchy and the current theocracy. One of the key messages that appeared on banners and leaflets read:\u00a0\u201cOn the anniversary of the 1979 revolution, down with the oppressor, be it the shah or the mullahs.\u201d\u00a0This slogan reflects the firm stance of the Iranian resistance that the people reject all forms of tyranny, past or present, and strive to establish a free and democratic system.<\/p>\n

Khamenei Rejects U.S. Talks as Iran\u2019s Regime Faces Mounting Unrest<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Friday, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei categorically dismissed any prospects of negotiations with the U.S., making his stance clear to those advocating for talks as a means of addressing Iran\u2019s crises. He sought to underscore his message to those seeking dialogue to resolve the nation\u2019s \u201cproblems\u201d and the ruling system\u2019s ongoing turmoil, stating: \u201cNegotiating with the United States has no effect on solving the country\u2019s problems. We must understand this correctly. Do not make it seem like if we sit at the negotiation table with that government, one problem or another will be solved. No, absolutely not; negotiations with the U.S. do not solve any problems\u2026 Negotiating with such a government is neither rational, nor wise, nor honorable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khamenei then shifted the responsibility for resolving the country\u2019s \u201ceconomic hardships\u201d onto regime president Masoud Pezeshkian, who has been advocating negotiations, and the current administration, stating: \u201cOf course, we do have domestic problems; no one denies the existence of these difficulties. There are many hardships in people\u2019s livelihoods. Almost all segments of society are struggling with various issues, but the key factor in solving these problems is internal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Parvin Advaei, a resident of Marivan, who was detained by security forces in January 2025, has been transferred to Sanandaj Correctional and Rehabilitation Center, the women\u2019s ward of Sanandaj Prison.\u00a0The civil rights activist\u00a0was arrested<\/a>\u00a0on January 20, 2025, in\u00a0Marivan<\/a>\u00a0and is currently allowed to contact her family once every two days. However, no official information has been released regarding the charges against her or the reasons for her detention.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Parvin Advaei has faced arrest. On July 27, 2019, she was detained by Marivan\u2019s Intelligence Department forces. Following three months of imprisonment, she was released on a hefty bail of 5 billion rials. The Revolutionary Court in Marivan later sentenced her to five years in prison for alleged membership in the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK). The sentence was subsequently reduced to two years by the Provincial Appeals Court.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The state-run ILNA news agency reported on the economic crisis facing workers, stating that the situation is even more severe for female workers, particularly mothers who are the sole providers for their households.

Negative Record in Iran\u2019s Oil Exports; Consequences of Sanctions<\/h3>\n

\"Irans<\/p>\n

On February 5, Mohsen Paknejad, the Iranian regime\u2019s oil minister, claimed that the regime had recorded its highest oil exports in over a decade in January. This claim contradicts data from tanker tracking companies and international organizations.\u00a0These remarks by Paknejad came one day after former U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order to \u201crevive the maximum pressure policy\u201d against the Iranian regime. On Wednesday, Paknejad claimed, \u201cIn January, we broke the record for oil exports in over a decade; we are announcing this news to make our people happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

On February 4, the tanker tracking company TankerTrackers announced that Iran\u2019s daily oil exports in January stood at 1.567 million barrels. This figure is roughly in line with the country\u2019s average oil exports in 2024.<\/p>\n

Educational Poverty in Iran Exacerbated by Structural Problems<\/h3>\n

\"Iran-poverty\"<\/p>\n

Rezvan Hakimzadeh, Deputy for Elementary Education at the Iranian regime\u2019s Ministry of Education, has stated that students suffering from \u201clearning poverty\u201d mostly come from low-income families and that their learning deficiencies need to be addressed.\u00a0The current situation in the education sector is a result of Iran\u2019s educational policies, which, according to experts, have contributed to class divisions in education. In this context, Ali Jafari-Azar, a representative of Tabriz in the Iranian regime\u2019s Majlis (parliament), has reported on the existence of \u201c23 types of public schools.\u201d He stated that the existence of these 23 types of schools has not benefited society and has instead created multiple negative effects, making the situation indefensible.<\/p>\n
