Messages by Resistance Leader Mr. Massoud Rajavi Displayed in Zahedan
Among the messages by Resistance Leader Mr. Massoud Rajavi displayed on banners and placards by the Resistance Units in Zahedan were:
“The agreement in its entirety is a cup of poison for the velayat-e faqih (Absolute religious dictatorship), one that will drown and overthrow the entirety of this regime in the storm of uprisings by various sectors and the masses of the Iranian people.”
“The great lesson of two wars and the 2025–2026 uprising is that a return to puppet monarchical fascism is nothing more than a mirage.”
“The overthrow of the regime is inevitable and destined to happen, whether through retreat and drinking the poison, or through war.”
“Throughout Iran’s history, all dynasties came to power by the force of their swords. Only the Pahlavi family was imposed and was the product of a foreign coup.”
“We have repeatedly said that Khamenei’s son, like the Shah’s son, wants the continuation of the war. They know well that without war they have no future and no chance.”
“The displays and cards that the Shah’s son has played one after another over the years have effectively fallen into the regime’s hands and have contributed to division among the regime’s opponents.”
“The Shah’s son, in addition to his tainted connections with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has gradually, over the past quarter-century, become deeply immersed in a circle of intelligence-linked associates.”
“Iran’s democratic revolution and a democratic republic will triumph through the strength of the Iranian people and the Liberation Army.”

“As far as the people and the people’s front are concerned, the only way is a revolution to overthrow the mullahs’ regime. Yes, the answer lies in the revolutionary solution.”
