ROME<\/strong> \u2013 In a conference at the Italian Parliament on April 16, 2025, prominent lawmakers and dignitaries joined Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), to call for a fundamental shift in European policy toward Iran. The event, titled \u201cThe Third Solution to the Iran Issue,\u201d emphasized that appeasement has failed, and only democratic change led by the Iranian people and their organized Resistance can end the threat posed by the theocratic regime.<\/p>\n

In her keynote address<\/a>, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/strong> warned that \u201cthe only way to stop the mullahs\u2019 nuclear program is to end their rule.\u201d She outlined how the regime, cornered at home and weakened abroad, has intensified executions and repression to preserve its power. She reported that 1,150 people were executed between March 2024 and March 2025, and five political prisoners were hanged on a single day, April 8. \u201cThis regime will never abandon repression, terrorism, or its nuclear ambitions,\u201d she declared, reiterating the need for regime change as the only viable solution.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi urged European governments, particularly Italy, to lead a new EU stance: recognize the Iranian people’s right to overthrow the regime; refer human rights violations to the UN Security Council; trigger the snapback mechanism under Resolution 2231; and support the rights of PMOI members at Ashraf 3. She stressed that a real economic partnership with Iran is impossible under the current dictatorship. \u201cIran\u2019s economy can only thrive with the end of the religious tyranny and the establishment of democracy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Every attempt to change the behavior of the clerical regime, or even to persuade it to scale back its aggressiveness, merely grants the regime new opportunities\u2014opportunities that bring greater insecurity to the world.
The confusion in the West stems from having long ignored the\u2026<\/p>\n
