Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the NCRI, sent a message on the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people, and said: “The Iran uprising began on Sep. 16 and quickly spread to 282 cities. The demands and direction of Iran protests are completely political. It is a massive defeat for the religious tyranny that the slogan “down with Khamenei” and the calls for the regime’s overthrow have become popular.”
