NCRI President-elect Mrs. Maryam Rajavi addresses US House Briefing on December 16, 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 In a Dec. 16, 2025, briefing and reception in the U.S. House\u2019s Cannon Caucus Room, Iranian American organizers and a bipartisan group of lawmakers promoted House Resolution 166<\/a> and amplified a shared message: Iran\u2019s political future should be decided by Iranians, through a democratic, secular, non-nuclear republic. Speakers endorsed Mrs. Maryam Rajavi\u2019s transition framework and Ten-Point Plan<\/a> as a viable alternative, condemned Tehran\u2019s repression and corruption, and\u2014echoing warnings about \u201cfake solutions\u201d\u2014argued against both clerical rule and a return to monarchy.<\/p>\n

Moderating the event, Dr. Azadeh Sami, DO<\/strong>, a pediatrics specialist speaking for the Organization of Iranian American Communities, opened by thanking members of Congress, staff, advocates, and community leaders for gathering during \u201ca time traditionally marked by reflection, hope, and a renewed commitment to peace.\u201d Dr. Sami said the event and its accompanying resolution reflected \u201cgrowing international recognition\u201d of the Iranian people\u2019s demands, honoring citizens who have \u201crepeatedly made their voices heard\u201d despite intimidation. Dr. Sami urged solidarity with those who \u201ccannot speak safely for themselves,\u201d particularly women, and framed the briefing as a values-driven appeal for \u201cfreedom, dignity, and democratic change.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her remarks,<\/a> Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/strong>, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, thanked lawmakers for sustained attention and highlighted H.Res. 166 as a political marker of support for \u201ca democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran.\u201d Mrs. Maryam Rajavi described the ruling clerical establishment as \u201ca threat\u2026 to global peace and security,\u201d citing executions and warning that repression at home and militarism abroad remain central to regime survival.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis regime must be overthrown,\u201d Mrs. Maryam Rajavi said, while underscoring a strict boundary: \u201cRegime change is only the duty of the Iranian people and no one else.\u201d She added, \u201cWe have never asked any country to intervene\u2026 We have never asked for money or weapons, and we will never do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NCRI President-elect laid out a transition blueprint: after the dictatorship falls, a six-month timeline leading to a nationwide election for a Constituent Assembly to draft a democratic constitution and appoint a transitional government. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi cast the organized resistance as capable and enduring\u2014pointing to the NCRI\u2019s coalition structure and the PMOI\u2019s cadres<\/a>, including the Ashraf-3 community in Albania\u2014and argued that recent developments have \u201cswept away fake \u2018solutions\u2019 and false alternatives\u201d in favor of a democratic republic.<\/p>\n
