There is no longer any doubt that the clerical regime in Iran, as a reactionary and backward force, is on the brink of collapse. Ending its warmongering and terrorism is now possible, with the solution being the overthrow of the regime by the Iranian people and their Resistance.
What will happen in Iran after the mullahs’ regime is overthrown, and how will the fate of the Iranian people unfold? These are issues that Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has been discussing and examining over the past 45 years.
On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, the Friends of a Free Iran committee of the European Parliament held a significant conference at the European Parliament to discuss the situation in Iran. The keynote speaker, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), presented the NCRI’s roadmap for dismantling Iran’s theocratic regime and enabling a peaceful transfer of power to a democratic government.
Her Ten-Point Plan, emphasizing democracy, human rights, and gender equality, has gained endorsements from over 125 former heads of state and 4,000 parliamentarians worldwide. The event was attended by dozens of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) across the political spectrum, many of whom called on the European Union to adopt policies aligned with the aspirations of the Iranian people and to recognize the organized resistance.
Key Points Raised by Mrs. Rajavi During the Conference: “Iran: Process of Regime Change and the Role of the Organized Resistance”
- The Army of Freedom and the Role of Resistance Units:
Mrs. Rajavi highlighted the vital role of a discontented population led by Resistance Units and brave women, forming the Army of Freedom. These forces are actively dismantling oppression and embody the fight for Iranian freedom. - PMOI/MEK’s Central Role:
The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), with a 60-year legacy of resistance against the Shah and the mullahs, is recognized by the regime as its principal adversary. This acknowledgment stems from MEK’s decisive role in every major challenge to the regime over the past 45 years. - The Democratic Alternative – NCRI:
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), founded 43 years ago, represents the longest-standing political coalition in Iran’s history.- Comprising 457 members from diverse political backgrounds, women hold over 50% of its membership.
- Its platform includes democracy, religious and gender equality, separation of religion and state, abolition of the death penalty, and a non-nuclear Iran.
- Unwavering Support Within and Outside Iran:
- The Resistance has organized massive gatherings abroad, supported by families of 100,000 martyrs for freedom, with details of 20,000 victims published.
- The Resistance was pivotal in exposing Iran’s secret nuclear activities and regional interference.
- It operates independently, funded solely by members and supporters inside and outside Iran, maintaining activities such as satellite broadcasts and publications.
- International Recognition:
- Support for the NCRI’s Ten-Point Plan includes endorsements from the majority of 34 legislative bodies in Europe and America, several Arab nations, 137 former world leaders, and 80 Nobel laureates.
- The June 2024 grand gathering in Berlin reaffirmed that neither religious dictatorship nor monarchy has a place in Iran’s future.
- The Path to Power Transition:
Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that the NCRI aims to transfer power to the Iranian people, with a detailed and structured approach:
a. Provisional Government: A six-month term tasked with organizing Constituent Assembly elections.
b. Constituent Assembly Formation: The provisional government will step down after its formation.
c. New Government Appointment: Representatives will establish a two-year interim government to draft, approve, and hold a referendum on a new constitution.- This roadmap ensures stability and avoids chaos.
- Call to the International Community:
Mrs. Rajavi stressed the need for global recognition of the Iranian people’s right to change and the decisive role of the organized resistance in achieving it.
