Messages from Mrs. Maryam Rajavi Commemorating the 2022 Uprising and Highlighting the Role of Women and Resistance Units

• “It will not be long before the rule of thieves and criminals is dismantled forever and replaced by democracy and the sovereignty of the people.”
• “Neither plundering the people’s tables nor this brutal repression can prevent the regime’s bankruptcy or stop the uprising.”

Exposing the Policies of the Mullahs’ Regime

• “As long as this regime remains in power, it will not abandon its efforts to obtain an atomic bomb, its warmongering and export of terrorism, or its repression, torture, and executions.”

Peace and Freedom Against Dictatorship

• “The remnants of the Shah and the mullahs want war and dictatorship, but the people of Iran want peace and freedom.”

Messages from Mr. Massoud Rajavi: The People’s War and Organized Resistance for Freedom

• “The policy of ‘No to Shah, No to Mullahs’ is the only democratic, national, patriotic, and revolutionary policy under the present historical circumstances.”
• “This is not a newly emerged or nouveau riche resistance; rather, it is the standard-bearer of the people’s front against the anti-people forces, the Shah, and the mullahs.”
