🟧رای قاطع پارلمان اروپا با ۵۱۶ رأی مثبت به قطعنامه محکومیت سرکوب و اعدام در ایران
مشروح👈news.mojahedin.org/id/8fcaa5…
🔴فضاحت دوباره بچه شاه:
در جریان بحثهای مربوط به این قطعنامه در پارلمان اروپا که از هفته گذشته شروع شده بود، برخی افراد وابسته به بقایای شاه و گروههای شناخته شده فشار، به سود سلطنت مدفون، تلاش کردند به هر ترتیب، قطعنامه را با وارد کردن برخی عبارات یا حتی یک تبصره به نفع بچه شاه تحت تأثیر قرار دهند. این آلودگی، قطعنامه را به سود رژیم حاکم بر ایران مخدوش و بیارزش و نامعتبر میکرد.
اما این تلاش که سناریوی آن با به خدمت گرفتن یکی دو نماینده از گروه فشار مربوطه تنظیم شده بود، از سوی همه گروههای پارلمانی دیگر قویاً مورد اعتراض قرار گرفت و رد شد. بسیاری از افراد گروه پارلمانی مزبور نیز با آوردن چنین جملهای در قطعنامه مخالفت کرده و تأکید کردند حمایت از بقایای دیکتاتوری شاه تنها به رژیم ایران سود میرساند و علیه مبارزه مردم ایران برای آزادی و دموکراسی است.
به این ترتیب بچه شاه بعد از فضاحتی که در سوئد و ایتالیا و آلمان به بار آورد، با یک فضاحت خفتبار دیگر در پارلمان اروپا مواجه شد.

Their love 4 life and not being able to turn a blind eye to the suffering of their ppl lead them to choose this path. They gave it all, and after giving their lives, they still breath life, struggle & humanity into our hearts and spirits.

On @NewsMax, I underscored that the Iranian regime is weak, vulnerable, and fearful of its own people & organized opposition. That’s why it has escalated executions of MEK members and other political prisoners to deter revolt. Now is the time for accountability—not concessions.

"The six men, all executed for their alleged actions against the regime, were seen standing in a courtyard at the notorious Ghezel Hesar prison as they made their final stand with a song of resistance...All six men were accused of being members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the country’s main opposition movement."

Iran turmoil erupts: Ultra-hardliner who mocked Trump poised to take over nuclear talks.
"Far from signaling transformation, this development reflects accelerating erosion, mounting pressure & deepening fractures, leaving the regime ever weaker & more vulnerable," I told @FoxNewsDigital.

⭕️در حالیکه رضا پهلوی را به پارلمان اروپا راه ندادند خانم مریم رجوی را پذیرا شدند.
👑خوشامدگویی به خانم مریم رجوی در پارلمان اروپا به زبان فارسی
🔹پانوشت؛ خانم مریم رجوی را دعوت میکنند به دلایل گوناگون از جمله ساختار منسجم سازمان مجاهدین خلق، کهنسال بودن این سازمان و فعال بودن اعضای آن در شبکه های لابیگری مرتبط به اتحادیه اروپا.
رضا پهلوی نه شبکه لابی و روابط سیاسی گسترده با اتحادیه اروپا دارد و نه نماد مقاومت است و نه دارای یک ساختار سازمانی منسجم است ، او به عنوان یک چهره مستقل یا نمادین مطرح است که مخالفین بسیار دارد لذا دعوت از او نیاز به اجماع یا حمایت مشخص یک گروه سیاسی اروپایی دارد. هیچ گروه سیاسی اروپایی تاکنون ایشان را گردن نگرفته 🥴🥴

Nima Shahi, 38 year old and Hamed Validi 45 year old engineer are in imminent danger! They are death row political prisoners in Iran. They are proud members of the MEK who would like to overthrow the evil regime. Sunday afternoon, April 19, 2026 they were removed out of Karaj prison to an unknown location. Six other MEK members and seven other political prisoners were executed over the past three weeks all charged with armed rebellion to overthrow the regime. @newsmax #IranRevolution2026

Iranians yearn for a secular democratic republic, don't legitimize a dictatorship by hosting the son of the deposed Shah of Iran.
The people of Iran revolted in 1979 to put an end to hereditary rule
The crimes of the Shah and SAVAK have not been forgotten
In 1946, Italians voted to abolish the monarchy because hereditary power had no place in a modern democracy
Stand by the people of Iran as they try to put all forms of dictatorship and totalitarian rule behind them

The People of Iran are NOT the Iranian regime. The Iranian Resistance is a group OPPOSING the Iranian regime. The Iranian Resistance is pro-democracy, pro-freedom, pro-equality, pro-rule of law.
Mullahs' Regime ≠ Iranian People
Ruling dictatorship does NOT represent #Iranian Ppl It is their main enemy
Regime fears #Iranian Ppl's uprising & their organized resistance (PMOI/MEK) NOT bombs
Solution: Recognize #NCRI Provisional Gov for regime change for a free, democratic republic in #Iran

The six MEK members executed this week for seeking freedom are seen days earlier, at Ghezel Hessar Prison, singing "Now rise up like the thunder, let your arms be shown...I am the storm, the storm! O trembling willow, fear my name...I am the storm, I am revolt, the surge, the cry, the flame, I am a hail of fire for you--O executioner."
The six fallen for freedom are:
· Vahid Bani-Amerian
· Abolhassan Montazer
· Mohammad Taghavi
· Akbar Daneshvargar
· Babak Alipour
· Pouya Ghobadi

Thank you, @RepMcClintock and you are absolutely correct.
The 10-point plan and provisional government presented by @Maryam_Rajavi and the National Council of Resistance of Iran is the roadmap to real prosperity inside Iran.

1-The headline of this discussion is fundamentally misleading. Using the term “Iranians” to describe support for this position is inaccurate. In reality, only a small group of pro-monarchy supporters backs such intervention, not the Iranian people as a whole. You can clearly see this in Homeira Hesami's talks.
@HomeiraHesami
2- There is a clear contradiction in the narrative of his supporters. They openly refer to him as “King Reza Pahlavi,” while simultaneously claiming that he is meant to lead a democratic transition. If the goal is democracy and the will of the people, then why call him “King”?
Is this contradiction not understood—or is it a deliberate attempt to divert the Iranian people’s demands?
Because the people of Iran have already made their position clear in their slogans: “Down with the oppressor—whether Shah or Supreme Leader.”

The Iranian people have already rejected dictatorship—once in 1979, and they will not accept it again in any form. Neither monarchy nor the rule of the mullahs has a place in Iran’s future.
Reza Pahlavi, as the son of a deposed dictator, represents a past the people have firmly moved beyond.
Iran’s future belongs to its people—and to a democratic alternative. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (#NCRI) has stepped forward with a clear vision, including the formation of a provisional government.
With leadership from Maryam Rajavi, the NCRI stands as a viable democratic path forward.
