Steve McCabe, Member of the UK House of Commons, addressed the first day of the Free Iran World Summit on July 1, 2023.

Steve McCabe: Under your NCRI, we can look forward to a freedom-loving democratic Iran

The full-text speech of British MP Steve McCabe follows:

Madam Rajavi we all know you can’t do a deal with a scorpion. And we all know that the only thing the Mullahs’ regime understands is strength and resolve. They want the free world to believe that they are entrenched and powerful. The truth is they’re hated and weak, and there is an alternative ready and waiting in the wings. The end is nigh.
Under your NCRI, we can look forward to a freedom-loving democratic Iran.

This isn’t the time to go soft on the Mullahs. This is the time to ratchet up the pressure. I’ve written to the British Foreign Secretary asking that we make absolutely sure that sanctions do not lapse in October. This is the time to ratchet up sanctions, and this is the time to increase our demands to ban the hated IRGC.

Madam Rajavi, on behalf of all your supporters in the United Kingdom and the British delegation, can I say I also look forward to meeting with you and the Iranian people in Tehran.
I look forward to celebrating a free and democratic Iran under your leadership. Let that day be soon. Thank you.
