In a message to a U.S. House briefing, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), urged the U.S. Congress to hold the Iranian regime under Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei accountable for its 40 years of warmongering and aggression in the region.

Mrs. Rajavi commended the bipartisan efforts of U.S. representatives in introducing a new resolution that offers a “correct solution to the Iranian problem” and supports the members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) at Ashraf 3.

She highlighted that the recent escalation of the regime’s warmongering is a “turning point” that proves three key facts:

“First, the head of the snake of warmongering is in Tehran.

Second, it showed that this regime is the principal party to the war.

Third, as the Iranian Resistance has emphasized repeatedly, the overthrow of this regime by the people of Iran and the Iranian Resistance is essential for peace in the region.”

Maryam Rajavi accused Khamenei of attempting to “divert attention from the terrible situation of the regime within Iran” through his warmongering, but stated that the regime has “received blows one after another” and failed to cover up the “growing social discontent” through the recent sham elections.

She further condemned Khamenei’s open threats against the governments in the region and his declaration of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) proxy forces as “one of the most vital issues” that should be “made stronger more and more day by day.”

Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that to avoid being overthrown, the regime executed at least 864 people in 2023, and called on the U.S. Congress to support the “correct solution” proposed in the new resolution, which is the overthrow of the Iranian regime by the Iranian people and the Iranian Resistance.
