US lawmakers demand an end to appeasement, urge support for Iran\u2019s democratic resistance<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On April 16, 2026, a bipartisan coalition of US Senators and former high-ranking diplomats convened in Washington, D.C., for a critical briefing titled \u201cIran: Towards Peace and Freedom.\u201d Against a poignant backdrop of portraits depicting recently executed members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) and other defiant protesters, the speakers reached a resounding consensus: neither foreign wars nor decades of appeasement can resolve the Iranian crisis. Instead, lawmakers and diplomats urged the international community to recognize the Iranian people\u2019s right to overthrow the ruling theocracy. They firmly established the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as the sole viable, democratic alternative to both the current clerical regime and the former monarchial dictatorship.<\/p>\n

Reza Pahlavi Calls It Heritage \u2013 History Calls It Dictatorship<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reza Pahlavi\u2019s defense of his family\u2019s rule exposes a stark contradiction between democratic rhetoric and an unrepentant embrace of authoritarian legacy. On April 13, 2026, in Stockholm, Reza Pahlavi sat before a microphones, the self-appointed face of a democratic alternative to the current Iranian theocracy. When a journalist asked a straightforward question about whether he took issue with any of the actions of his father, the late Mohammad Reza Shah, the room grew quiet. Pahlavi did not offer a nuanced reflection on the complexities of power or an acknowledgment of past abuses. Instead, he bristled, dismissing the inquiry as a fixation on the past before declaring his \u201cimmense pride\u201d in a heritage defined by absolute rule.<\/p>\n
