Paris, October 7, 2023: Mr. Mike Pompeo, who served as the 70th Secretary of State of the United States, held a meeting with Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
After their meeting, Mr. Pompeo delivered an impactful speech to a conference Entitle, “Iran: Uprising and Resistance Against the Regime of Execution” with NCRI members and their supporters.

In the beginning of the conference, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the NCRI, addressed the participants.

Maryam Rajavi: The regime fears a nationwide movement that is ready for a fundamental change in Iran

Mrs. Rajavi said: The regime fears a nationwide movement that is ready for a fundamental change in Iran.
First, let me salute my fellow Baluch compatriots. On the anniversary of the Zahedan uprising, where 120 people were killed by the regime last year.

I also salute the brave young people who undertook many acts of protest on the anniversary of the 2022 uprising. Now, on the last year’s uprising, there are several significant and practical conclusions that I would like to mention.

First: the social readiness to continue the protests has increased, despite massive repression.

Second: Western governments have largely helped the regime.
However, Khamenei and his criminal president, Ebrahim Raisi, have failed to break the regime’s deadlock. Economic and social crises have intensified, and social discontent has increased.

And the third conclusion is that the social impact of the MEK and the NCRI has significantly improved inside the country over the past year.
