The Iranian Resistance, which for nearly five decades has sought freedom and peace, welcomes any understanding to end the war and the suffering of the Iranian people. In Iran, no one except the remnants of the mullahs and the Shah has wanted or wants war. The effort to produce nuclear weapons, warmongering, and meddling in the countries of the region are part of the survival strategy of the religious fascism ruling Iran, and it will not abandon them as long as it can. War is this regime’s shield against popular uprisings, while peace and a ceasefire are, as Khomeini put it, like “poison” for it. The overthrow of the regime is the responsibility of the Iranian people and their organized Resistance. Mrs. Rajavi added: I reiterate once again that any international agreement to end the war must include an end to the execution of political prisoners and the killing of protesters.

Tonight, the absolute clerical rule (Velayat-e Faqih) has effectively turned itself into a hereditary monarchy by placing Mojtaba Khamenei on the throne. But it cannot save the shipwrecked vessel of religious fascism. Once again, this regime, just like the monarchical dictatorship in 1979, lacks credibility and legitimacy in the eyes of the Iranian people. This is yet another theft and usurpation of the sovereignty of the Iranian people’s republic, proving once again that a viper does not give birth to a dove. For more than three decades, Mojtaba Khamenei, alongside his father, has been among the principal architects of repression, the export of fundamentalism and terrorism, and the plundering of the Iranian people’s wealth. In practice, he has long functioned as his father’s de facto successor. He bears responsibility for the massacres and suppression of popular uprisings, for controlling the country’s resources and economy, and for the systematic looting of national wealth—imposing the harshest oppression and exploitation on the majority of Iranians, especially women and the working and underprivileged classes, including nurses, teachers, workers, farmers, and retirees. Yet the outraged Iranian people, who have risen up in successive uprisings to overthrow this regime, will not retreat in the face of the clerical mafia ruling Iran. The destiny of Iran will be written by its people. The resistance, the organized uprising, and the Liberation Army will have the decisive role. The Iranian people have rejected every form of dictatorship and demand a democratic republic based on free and universal elections. The six-month provisional government is not intended to seize power, but to transfer sovereignty to the people of Iran in pursuit of this very objective.

Based on the NCRI program, after the fall of the regime, the provisional government is obliged to hold free and fair elections within six months for the formation of a Constituent Assembly and a national legislative body. Subsequently, power will be handed over to the newly elected representatives of the people, who will assume responsibility for governing the country and drafting the new constitution.

The women-led resistance the Iranian regime fears most. Women in the political arena can be a very potent transformative force. I know this firsthand from almost 50 years in the challenging field of politics. washingtonexaminer.com/opini…
