In his remarks, Sen. Torricelli asserted his support of the Iranian people\u2019s desire for freedom, justice, equality, and the rule of law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On July 17, the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held its annual gathering. However, regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic, freedom-loving Iranians managed to hold the gathering virtually within joint and tireless efforts. In this respect, the NCRI connected 30,000 locations to <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/tag\/ashraf-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ashraf-3<\/a>, home to members of the People\u2019s <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mojahedin<\/a> Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Remarks by Robert Toricelli, to the Free Iran Global Summit \u2013 July 17, 2020\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vSc4JPvpycA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the speech of Sen.

Reformers, hardliners, the game is up. It is over. Or simply, give us our country back. The Shah, the mullahs, dictators all, give us our country back. The people are speaking to us.

Are we closer this year than last year? How is this year different than times before? The evidence is overwhelming and sometimes captured in single events. For many people in Iran the inability of the mullahs to speak the truth even about the destruction of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/component\/tags\/tag\/ukrainian-airliner-crash\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ukrainian airline<\/a>, getting caught lying to desperate families, the people of Iran, the people of the world, other governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t tell the truth to a mother and father about the loss of their children in shooting down an airliner, can you be telling the truth about government resources?

But even in the face of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/component\/tags\/tag\/iran-coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> pandemic<\/a>, maintaining terrorist attacks? These are your priorities? This is how what was clear to many of us years ago has become clear now to people across Iran. The game is up.

This is not an American problem. The Iranian government has reached out to the Europeans and they have said no. They have reached out to regimes across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today for the first time in human history, repressive regimes denying all freedom, all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/component\/tags\/tag\/iran-economy\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">economic<\/a> opportunity, all prosperity, is limited to but a handful of nations: North Korea, Cuba, and the largest among them, Iran. These few regimes are all that stand between general recognition of economic opportunity and some modicum of freedom at least, and global opportunity. The world stands united as never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But yet, as my country was reminded in a time of peril of our own, to some generations much is given, of this generation much is expected. I know it is not fair for young Iranians. Other generations of Iranians in a long and proud history have lived free and in prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"861\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Robert-Torricelli-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16782\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Robert-Torricelli-1.jpg 861w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Robert-Torricelli-1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Robert-Torricelli-1-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Robert-Torricelli-1-750x468.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 861px) 100vw, 861px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, Iranian civilization and the Persian kingdoms were the centers of world progress. I know it is not fair. But it is a reality.

The people around the world can give their dollars and their euros and their yen.

Everyone can do something. Decide upon your role, how you will stand with Maryam Rajavi. If you\u2019re an oil worker, do you really want the product that you are pulling out of the earth to go to fueling the corruption of the mullahs who are sending billions of dollars to Swiss bank accounts? Or fueling terrorist attacks across the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this what you want of your labor? You can do something to slow down production. If you are a student, even among your studies, you have a moment you can take to the streets. If you are a shopkeeper, can you not withhold some taxation that is going to fund the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-source-reports\/as-irans-regime-faces-economic-bankruptcy-the-irgc-mafia-is-ready-to-devour-the-automotive-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revolutionary Guards<\/a>?
