\"MEK<\/p>\n

Following the historic Free Iran 2026 summit in Paris, the true momentum of the Iranian opposition is being demonstrated not just on the international stage, but inside Iran\u2019s cities. On June 20, an esteemed gathering of international political figures and supporters convened in Paris. During the summit, Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), emphasized that change must be driven solely by the Iranian people and their organized resistance. Just days later, on June 29, the PMOI\/MEK Resistance Units launched a coordinated campaign across Iran to celebrate the summit and express their explicit support for Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan.<\/p>\n

Activists took to public spaces in major cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, and Tabas, to install posters, paint graffiti, and hold up placards with messages of resistance. These actions represent a deeply organized and unified front inside the country. Across multiple cities, Resistance Units utilized a shared rallying cry, installing posters and painting graffiti with the message: \u201cMaryam Rajavi\u2019s commitment is ours as well, victory is ours.\u201d In Tehran, members bravely held up posters bearing the image of Mrs. Rajavi alongside pledges stating, \u201cMy commitment is defending the freedom and honor and independence of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n
