Amb. Bloomfield addressed the recent cancellation of the summit&#8217;s public rally due to a bomb threat, noting the irony that the regime routinely plots mass-casualty terror attacks in Europe\u2014such as the 2018 Villepinte plot\u2014regardless of ongoing nuclear agreements. He sharply criticized major Western media outlets and governments for historically parroting false narratives concocted by Tehran to demonize the People&#8217;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) and the NCRI just to keep diplomatic channels open.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Amb. Bloomfield argued that the 47-year clerical dictatorship is nearing its end, leaving behind a &#8220;circle of veteran terrorists&#8221; who should face prosecution for global terror campaigns and domestic massacres, including the 1988 execution of <a href=\"https:\/\/iran1988.org\/1988-massacre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">30,000 political prisoners<\/a>. He challenged Washington, London, Paris, and Berlin to stop fearing the unelected junta and instead focus policy efforts on supporting Iran&#8217;s 92 million citizens. Specifically, he urged Western nations to provide critical communication links to help locals bypass regime-imposed internet blackouts. Amb. Bloomfield concluded by urging international leaders to officially open a dialogue with Maryam Rajavi, noting that her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/plan-for-future-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ten-Point Plan<\/a> for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear Iran already enjoys majority parliamentary support across 34 countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"3\"><strong>The full script of Amb.

He emphasized that NCRI and PMOI members are not a cult, but a targeted resistance movement forced to live in safe locations because Tehran\u2019s agents have pursued and assassinated their supporters for 47 years. Bloomfield recalled the 2018 Villepinte bomb plot by Iran\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence and Security and noted that, according to the French court, the recent police report linked the latest bomb threat to remnants of SAVAK, the security apparatus of the deposed Pahlavi monarchy. He urged French authorities to investigate and hold accountable everyone behind this threat. Bloomfield also criticized decades of Western appeasement, arguing that governments and major media outlets repeated Tehran\u2019s false narratives against the MEK and NCRI in exchange for hostage negotiations and nuclear diplomacy. He called on Washington, London, Berlin, and Paris to end their fear of offending Tehran, close the door on the regime, and open direct dialogue with Mrs. Rajavi and the NCRI, whose 10-point plan enjoys majority parliamentary support in dozens of countries. He concluded that the Iranian people need communication links, the truth about the regime\u2019s crimes, and international support for their struggle, declaring: no fear, no appeasement, yes to the 10-point plan, yes to dialogue with the NCRI, and yes to a free Iran.
