NCRI President-elect Mayram Rajavi addresses the EU Parliament on December 10, 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On December 10, 2025, in Brussels, at a major conference in the European Parliament marking Human Rights Day, lawmakers from across Europe joined former prime ministers, senior parliamentary leaders, and human rights advocates to declare that the time has come for the European Union to adopt a serious, principled policy toward Iran\u2014one that recognizes the Iranian people\u2019s right to resist and to overthrow religious dictatorship. The keynote address by NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi<\/a> warned that Iran has reached an \u201cexceptional moment,\u201d with the clerical regime facing an irreversible crisis marked by collapsing legitimacy, accelerating repression, economic free-fall, regional isolation, and a rapidly expanding Resistance movement inside the country. She urged Europe to end its silence, designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization, and refer the regime\u2019s human rights violations to the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n

Throughout the conference, speakers condemned soaring executions, the targeting of women and youth, and the regime\u2019s attacks on political prisoners, including 18 Resistance supporters currently on death row. Many underscored the collapse of appeasement, the role of the PMOI Resistance Units<\/a>, and the global implications of Iran\u2019s struggle, situating it within a broader contest between democracy and autocracy. Repeated calls were made for\u00a0 Europe to recognize the NCRI and Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan<\/a> as a democratic alternative.<\/p>\n

MEP Milan Zver<\/strong> stated that Iran represents one of the world\u2019s most severe human rights and security crises, stressing that Tehran\u2019s repression and regional militancy demand a serious European response. He underscored that despite being blacklisted by the regime, many MEPs continue to support the Iranian democratic opposition, adding that the conference must \u201cshape a more serious and principled European policy\u201d toward Iran.<\/p>\n

During her speech,<\/a> NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi<\/strong> urged Europe to \u201crecognize the Iranian people\u2019s right to struggle for the overthrow of religious tyranny,\u201d arguing that Iran has entered a decisive phase in which the clerical regime faces an existential crisis. She said the collapse of the regime\u2019s regional \u201cAxis of Resistance,\u201d combined with economic breakdown and nationwide protests, has left the rulers \u201cdevoid of any capacity for political or economic reform.\u201d The most serious threat to the regime, she stressed, is \u201cthe advance of the Iranian people and Resistance toward an organized uprising,\u201d supported by a rapidly expanding network of Resistance Units<\/a> across Iran.<\/p>\n
