He pointed to five national uprisings in seven years as undeniable evidence of deep, systemic rejection from all sectors of Iranian society. Pozzolo warned against falling for the regime\u2019s illusion of \u201cmoderation,\u201d calling it a propaganda tactic used whenever the regime is in crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1472\">He also cautioned against false alternatives tolerated or even encouraged by Tehran, naming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-state-run-newspaper-says-reza-pahlavi-and-monarchists-have-served-clerical-regime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reza Pahlavi<\/a> directly as one such figure. The only legitimate and organized alternative, Pozzolo said, is the NCRI, and the proof lies in the regime\u2019s persistent efforts to defame, threaten, and attack its members and supporters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1628\">He concluded by honoring those who risk their lives inside Iran and declared that the Resistance will not be silenced \u2014 not by propaganda, not by bullets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1686\"><strong data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1686\">The following is a translated version of the speech.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"it\" dir=\"ltr\">L\u2019unica alternativa al regime terrorista e fondamentalista degli ayatollah ha un nome e un cognome: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Maryam_Rajavi<\/a>!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FreeIran2025?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreeIran2025<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NCRIalternative?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NCRIalternative<\/a> \ud83c\udf40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SXA0yVVPAU\">pic.twitter.com\/SXA0yVVPAU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Emanuele Pozzolo (@EmanuelePozzolo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EmanuelePozzolo\/status\/1930530773662155039?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 5, 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;\" data-start=\"1732\" data-end=\"1757\">Dearest Madam, thank you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1759\" data-end=\"2011\">It\u2019s always wonderful to be here with you, with our Iranian friends, to stand together with so many colleagues from across the world who continue to support you \u2014 with all the affection we can give and with all the courage you inspire in us. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2357\">A year ago, right here in Paris, thanks to you and with you, I tried to define \u2014 in very simple terms \u2014 the regime that is harming Iran. It\u2019s an intuitive definition, one anyone can understand: it is a regime of bullies. And I said then that this regime of bullies was beginning to crack. Bullies seem to win, but they never win in the end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2359\" data-end=\"2671\">And what is happening now confirms exactly that. Iran \u2014 and the world \u2014 are at a pivotal moment. In recent months, Iran has experienced an unimaginable level of destabilization. The death of Raisi has made clear to the world the fragility of a system that pretends to be strong but is, in truth, profoundly weak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2673\" data-end=\"2927\">Five nationwide uprisings in seven years \u2014 that\u2019s not a coincidence. That is the voice of a society that no longer accepts this regime. From the youth to the elderly, from women to workers, from the marginalized to the elite \u2014 they are all resisting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2929\" data-end=\"3093\">We, in the free world \u2014 West or non-West \u2014 must recognize that Iran is at the center of global geopolitics. We cannot afford timidity or feed ourselves false hopes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3095\" data-end=\"3316\">Because when the regime is at its weakest, it always plays the same card: \u201cmoderation.\u201d They invent a new figure and label him a moderate. We\u2019ve seen this before \u2014 with Khatami, with Rouhani \u2014 and we see it again now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3318\" data-end=\"3334\">It is a lie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3336\" data-end=\"3513\">There is no moderation in this tyrannical regime. There is only a chameleon-like ability to disguise its true nature: a fundamentalist, terrorist regime. It is unreformable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3515\" data-end=\"3694\">If we want to speak honestly, we must say clearly: this regime cannot be reformed. Hoping for dialogue, for promises, for reassurances \u2014 that is not just na\u00efve, it is foolish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3696\" data-end=\"3714\">What should we do?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3716\" data-end=\"3998\">We must recognize another tactic the regime uses \u2014 and has used for years \u2014 especially in the West: the promotion of false alternatives. Tehran is full of clever strategists \u2014 criminals, yes, but intelligent \u2014 and they try to convince the world that multiple alternatives exist.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EmanuelePozzolo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@EmanuelePozzolo<\/a>: The only alternative the regime fears\u2014and persecutes\u2014is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Maryam_Rajavi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Maryam_Rajavi<\/a> and the NCRI. Their lies and propaganda target all supporters. When ignored, this paves the way for terror, like the attack on my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VidalQuadras?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VidalQuadras<\/a>.<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3FRAg5Npgq\">https:\/\/t.co\/3FRAg5Npgq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1928830430435758472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 31, 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;\" data-start=\"4000\" data-end=\"4209\">One of these is Reza Pahlavi. He travels Europe and the United States, claiming to offer an alternative. But Iranians have already lived through the Pahlavi era \u2014 and it was just as oppressive and violent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4211\" data-end=\"4312\">We must have the courage to name the truth: there is only one true alternative. And I have proof. The only real alternative has a name: Maryam Rajavi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4372\" data-end=\"4669\">But like all great freedom movements, no single person can carry it alone \u2014 no matter how enlightened. That\u2019s why you are here. That\u2019s why we have the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). That\u2019s why we see men, women, and youth dedicating their lives \u2014 and in Iran, risking them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4671\" data-end=\"4709\">This is the only true alternative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4711\" data-end=\"4997\">And here is the proof: it\u2019s the only alternative the regime truly persecutes. The propaganda, the fake news, the threats \u2014 they target Mrs. Rajavi, the MEK, the NCRI, and even us \u2014 their supporters. Those of us who travel here, who sign statements, who give our voice to this cause.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"4999\" data-end=\"5150\">That fake news \u2014 those lies \u2014 orchestrated from Tehran and tolerated by too many powers, are not harmless. They are often the prelude to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5152\" data-end=\"5287\">Let me mention one name: Alejo Vidal-Quadras \u2014 our dear friend. A friend of Iran\u2019s freedom. They tried to silence him. Permanently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5289\" data-end=\"5318\">And so, I conclude with this:\u00a0If Tehran tries to silence us with bullets, we respond with courage \u2014 and with a smile.\u00a0We will not stop speaking \u2014 in the name of justice and freedom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"5482\" data-end=\"5580\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Long live Iran.
