All these young men and women that we see fighting in the streets every day are making the tyranny crumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they have been told from a very young age that the world is their enemy, that they must fight because Iranians have only enemies worldwide. But with this display of technology that we owe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI<\/a>, we see the whole world united for you. United to support your struggle and to tell you that you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The voice and heart that is uniting us is <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>. She was talking about Mosaddegh in 1952 and the struggle to bring democracy to Iran. The reason why we are united around Maryam despite being from various ideological backgrounds, cultures, and religions, is because we believe that she\u2019s the only one that can guarantee to the Iranian people that they will not be betrayed again.<\/p><cite>\u00cdngrid Betancourt<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Tyranny is crumbling. We are experiencing the first indications of the fall of this regime. But it would be a disaster if there was no one to guide the Iranian people\u2019s energy for freedom, peace, and justice, and if there was no leader with the principles and values of Maryam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two days ago, on July 15<sup>th<\/sup>, the trial of <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/terrorism\/7264-who-is-assadollah-assadi-the-iranian-diplomat-on-trial-for-terrorism-charges.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assadollah Assadi<\/a> began. The terrorist-diplomat who plotted to kill us all in <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/category\/activities-outside-iran\/annual-gathering\/grand-gathering-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the rally<\/a> we had in Paris on June 30th, 2018. It is not only that we are united in abstract because we want to fight for the freedom of Iranians. No. It is because we are all interrelated in the same fight. We in this rally are also the potential victims of a mad tyranny that is capable of thinking of blowing us all up in order to cling to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assadi was the main planner of the plot. And it was not only the plot against Villepinte. For decades, he was plotting the regime\u2019s assassinations and killings abroad. He is a terrorist who was hiding as a third consul of the Iranian embassy in Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the governments of Europe already knew that he was a terrorist and were following him. He drove to Luxemburg and personally delivered a high-powered bomb to two people, Amir Saadouni and Nasimeh Naami, both Belgian citizens, on June 28th, 2018, but both were paid to plant the bomb that would have killed us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was there on that day. This very sophisticated terrorist plot was neutralized in its last stage because Saadouni and Naami were arrested in Belgium while transporting the bomb to Villepinte. And Mehrdad Arefani was arrested while he was already in Villepinte and was sitting beside us. He was arrested in Villepinte. <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/assadollah-assadi-terrori-plot-mek-free-iran-rally-20200703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assadollah Assadi<\/a>, the diplomat, was captured in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are on webinar today with Maryam.

The French government in October 2018, publicly accused Iran of having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-44696311\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sponsored<\/a> the project. And then Iranian assets were frozen and an Iranian spy acting under diplomatic cover in Paris was expelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past two years, the mullahs\u2019 regime has spared no effort to prevent Assadi\u2019s trial and to have him released. They have engaged in diplomatic pressure and economic promises. But worst of all, they have taken hostages, Europeans including French and British nationals, to bargain. This has resulted in incredible pain for the families of our fellow citizens. So that is why the struggle of Iranians has become our own struggle. We are potential victims like you in Iran of the madness of these mullahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/%C3%8Dngrid-Betancourt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16986\" 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';\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I speak as a potential victim, and I am grateful for the independent and courageous investigation done by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iranian-diplomat-and-three-accomplices-on-trial-for-planned-bombing-of-a-massive-rally-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Belgian courts<\/a> and for the trial that has started.
