A coalition of former heads of government, ministers, lawmakers, judges, diplomats, and prominent public figures has released a statement supporting the Iranian people’s pursuit of a democratic republic. The signatories also endorse the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s (NCRI) proposal for a provisional government based on Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan.

Titled “Iran at a Historic Crossroads,” the statement stresses that Iran’s political future must be determined solely by its people and their organized resistance. It firmly rejects both the continuation of the current clerical establishment and any restoration of monarchical rule.

The document describes the removal of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as a critical turning point but underscores that lasting change can only come through the Iranian people and their organized opposition. It welcomes the NCRI’s initiative to form a provisional government aimed at transferring power to the public and establishing a democratic republic. According to the statement, Rajavi’s plan includes key principles such as freedom of expression and assembly, separation of religion and state, gender equality, abolition of the death penalty, autonomy for ethnic groups within a unified Iran, and a commitment to a non-nuclear future.

The statement also notes that the plan has already gained the support of more than 4,000 lawmakers across Europe and North America.

Signatories emphasize that the NCRI does not seek foreign military intervention or financial aid and is committed to organizing free and fair elections within six months following the fall of the current system. They further call for the creation of a broad coalition of political forces united in their goal of ending the current regime and establishing a secular republic.

Backing the NCRI’s provisional government and Maryam Rajavi’s leadership, the statement concludes, is essential for achieving democracy, ensuring stability within Iran, and promoting peace across the region.

The list of signatories includes former presidents and prime ministers from countries such as Poland, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Estonia, Malta, Belgium, and Yemen, along with former ministers, parliamentarians, international officials, Nobel laureates, academics, legal experts, and civil society leaders from Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
