Resistance Units in Zahedan: Designating the IRGC Is a Practical Necessity for Global Peace
Among the messages displayed by the Resistance Units were:
“Maryam Rajavi: Designating the IRGC is essential for peace, stability, and security in the region and the world.”
“One of the practical necessities in confronting the IRGC is its designation as a terrorist organization.”
“The time has come to deal with the IRGC and the mullahs’ regime in practice, without any political or economic considerations.”
“Maryam Rajavi: The regime’s sinister strategy consists of suppressing the Iranian people, pursuing a nuclear weapons program, and exporting war and terrorism.”
Massoud Rajavi’s Messages Echo Across Baluchestan
The Resistance Units also displayed messages from Massoud Rajavi, leader of the Iranian Resistance, including:
“Massoud Rajavi: Arm yourselves as much as you can and confront the enemy of God and the people through armed resistance.”
“Massoud Rajavi: The dictatorship of the Velayat-e Faqih is a military-police dictatorship, and the IRGC is the instrument for preserving this regime and the rule of the Supreme Leader.”
“Massoud Rajavi: This regime has no future and no chance without a confrontation.”
“Down with the principle of Velayat-e Faqih (absolute religious dictatorship); curse upon Khomeini; death to the tyrant Khamenei; hail to Rajavi.”

A Clear Line Against Both Shah and Mullahs: Rejecting a Century of Dictatorship and Political Extortion
Freedom-seeking Baluch activists, through their slogans, rejected any false alternative and any return to past forms of dictatorship.

“Monarchy, Velayat (mullahs’ regime) — one hundred years of crimes.”
“A dictatorship is a dictatorship; whether with a turban or a crown.”
“Down with the oppressor, whether the Shah or the Supreme Leader.”
“Massoud Rajavi: The Shah’s son and the mullahs are both seeking only to gain and preserve power at any cost; monarchy, Velayat, and nothing else.”
Promoting Maryam Rajavi’s 10-Point Plan for the Future of Iran
The Resistance Units in Zahedan also highlighted international support for Maryam Rajavi’s 10-Point Plan through statements by international figures, including former Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi and Italian parliamentarian Naike Gruppioni.

“Maryam Rajavi: A society that has awakened, and whose young people have shed their blood at the hands of criminal Revolutionary Guards, will not retreat.”
