Iran\u2019s People Deserve International Support for Their Resistance and Right to Self-Determination<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the United Nations General Assembly convenes in New York this September, the world faces a critical test of principle and resolve. Masoud Pezeshkian, the newly installed president of the clerical regime in Iran, is expected to address the Assembly in an attempt to present a fa\u00e7ade of legitimacy for a regime that is fundamentally illegitimate, both at home and abroad. Yet beyond the walls of the UN, thousands of Iranians and supporters of the democratic opposition will gather in New York to send a different, more authentic message: the Iranian people reject the dictatorship ruling their country and demand international recognition of their right to resist tyranny.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s gathering follows the massive rally on September 6 in Brussels, where tens of thousands supported the Iranian Resistance. Their message will echo in New York: the international community must stop appeasing Tehran, trigger the snapback mechanism on UN sanctions, and acknowledge the Iranian people\u2019s right to self-determination and resistance, including the right of Resistance Units to defend themselves against the regime\u2019s brutal machine of repression.<\/p>\n

Iran Gas Exports to Iraq Slump<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Natural gas exports from Iran to neighboring Iraq declined by 40% between April and August this year, extending a downward trend from 2024, Zawya\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0today, citing information from the Trade Promotion Organisation of Iran.<\/p>\n

No reasons for the decline in exports were mentioned, but the value of the exports in the period stood at $950 million, which was much lower than the value of gas exports to Iraq in April-August 2024.\u00a0An earlier report<\/a>\u00a0by local media said all Iranian exports to Iraq had declined in the five-month period, by 18% on the year, to a total of $3.75 billion.<\/p>\n

Iran has been a major gas supplier to its neighbor despite often uneven relations between the two countries. Iraq has abundant natural gas supplies but is not developing them at any meaningful scale, paying for imports instead. The country lacks the gas processing plants necessary to process the associated gas extracted from its massive oilfields and continues to flare some of those gas volumes. Iraq was also importing electricity from Iran, with the annual bill for both natural gas and electricity at\u00a0some $7-$8 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Iranian Shipping Will Be Affected by UN Snap-Back Sanctions<\/h3>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

The UN Security Council voted on September 19 to reject an attempt to delay the re-imposition of the 2015 sanctions regime, under an automatic mechanism which can be triggered if Iran fails to observe previous agreements made to monitor activities associated with nuclear weapons development.<\/p>\n

The move follows the failure of an Iranian team negotiating with France, Germany and the United Kingdom, known as the E3, to make credible proposals. The Iranian negotiating team, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, requested a postponement of the snapback in exchange for a promise to re-open discussions with the United States, but without offering any substantive indications of what Iran might offer in such negotiations. Moreover, from furious debates both within the Iranian parliament and within the government-controlled media, it was unclear even if Foreign Minister Araghchi had the authority to promise the resumption of talks, let alone what such negotiations might concede.<\/p>\n

Isolated and Cornered: Regime Reaps What It Sowed with UN Sanctions Snapback<\/h3>\n

\"un<\/p>\n

On September 19, the United Nations Security Council voted against a\u00a0draft resolution<\/a>\u00a0that would give the Iranian regime an extended grace period to return to its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal, confirming the snapback of six punishing international sanctions resolutions. The resolution to permanently lift the sanctions failed decisively, with nine members voting against, four in favor, and two abstaining. This overwhelming rejection, which did not even require a veto from one of the permanent members of the UNSC, was the predictable conclusion of the regime\u2019s intransigence and continued violation of its nuclear commitments\u2014a dangerous path the Iranian Resistance has warned about for years.<\/p>\n

The outcome exposes a regime that is diplomatically bankrupt, strategically cornered, and increasingly paranoid about internal dissent. As Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI),\u00a0stated<\/a>, this step is \u201cbelated but extremely urgent and necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeath to the Tyrant\u201d: A Historical Manifesto of Iran\u2019s Struggle for Freedom<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the Constitutional Revolution to the 2022 uprising, Iranians have consistently rejected authoritarian rule\u2014whether under monarchy or theocracy\u2014through the radical and unifying slogan \u201cDeath to the tyrant, whether Shah or [supreme] leader.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The slogan\u00a0\u201cDeath to the tyrant, whether Shah or [supreme] leader\u201d<\/em>\u00a0represents one of the most radical and conscious collective expressions in modern Iranian history. During the 2022 nationwide uprising, it resonated in the streets of Iran\u2019s cities and in large demonstrations of Iranians abroad, becoming a global symbol of resistance to tyranny.<\/p>\n

What makes this slogan particularly significant is its rejection of all forms of authoritarianism. It dismantles both the legacy of monarchy and theocracy, declaring that dictatorship in any form\u2014whether under the crown of a king or the turban of a mullah\u2014is unacceptable.<\/p>\n
