Maryam Rajavi on Empowering the Iranian People: Key Highlights from Resolution 1148- 23 July 2024
Message to the conference announcing house majority support for the Iranian resistance I appreciate the bipartisan initiative of the House of Representatives in presenting Resolution 1148. This is a valuable model for an effective policy against the mullahs’ regime that has become the biggest cause of war and crisis in the region and the world. A religious dictatorship that is known for its massacre by executing 30,000 political prisoners in 1988. In such circumstances, three fundamental steps are essential for a correct policy to confront the Iranian regime. They include: • Recognizing the struggle of the Iranian people to overthrow the regime and the right of Iranian youth to defend themselves against the Revolutionary Guards. • Activating the snapback mechanism under Security Council Resolution 2231. • Placing the regime under Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter as a serious threat to global peace and security. The NCRI wants to establish a democratic, free, non-nuclear republic based on the separation of religion and the state that is essential for peace and security in the region and tranquility throughout the world. I am confident that with the determination of the Iranian people, we can and we must and we will free Iran.
