Message to the Iranians\u2019 Rally in New York Featuring Political Dignitaries<\/h3>\n

\"NCRI<\/p>\n

Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s message: “Today, your message to them is clear: The time has come to listen to the voice of the Iranian people. The people of Iran want neither war nor dictatorship. They want freedom, a democratic republic, and the right to decide their own future. The regime that rules Iran does not represent the Iranian people. It is an enemy of the people and responsible for the killing of Iran\u2019s young generation. It is also a threat to peace and security in the region and the world. The people of Iran are determined to end this dictatorship. As long as this regime stays in power, repression, executions, terrorism, and warmongering will continue. The ruling clerics are trying to shift attention away from the crisis inside Iran by creating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong><\/a> and across the region. But the real battle is between the Iranian people and the organized Resistance, on one side, and the religious dictatorship on the other.<\/p>\n

“In recent days, the regime\u2019s security forces have been placed on high alert.
\nThe Revolutionary Guards have held two large military exercises in the streets of Tehran and 15 other cities across Iran.
\nBasij forces have been stationed at gas stations. The ruling clerics are deeply afraid of another uprising.”<\/p>\n
