In the regional and international scene, pressures mount on the regime increasing day-by-day, which in turn intensifies the inner-regime crisis.<\/p>\n

The holding of the Free Iran Grand Gathering<\/a> in these circumstances, of course, has its own special influence on the situation. \u00a0That is because this massive gathering, that gathers about 100,000 in Paris each year, is not an ordinary political rally.<\/p>\n

The Grand Gathering will be a turning point in the political struggle against the mullahs\u2019 regime in the international scene.<\/p>\n

Each year that the Iranian Resistance gathers in Paris, it brings a new message with it making significant destabilizing effects on the regime.\u00a0 That is the reason the Mullahs regime utilizes all its political and propaganda apparatus, besides threats, from months ago, to thwart the event.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, all regime malign activities to prevent the even have been futile for the past 15 years that the event has convened annually, gathering thousands from five continents to call for a regime change in Iran.<\/p>\n

The Free Iran Grand Gathering last year illustrated a view of the Iran situation on the brink of an uprising. At that time, the regime had gone through a sham presidential election while the resistance, via its network inside the country, called to boycott the election. The campaign called on all to vote for \u201cneither the executioner, nor the impostor\u201d and rejected both factions of the clerical regime.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when a significant uprising has taken place inside the country, it is expected that all developments and activities, including this year\u2019s Iranian gatherings, to be affected by the aftermath of the uprising.<\/p>\n

Therefore, this year, Free Iran Grand Gathering is holding on a completely different domestic and international political situation. The event will be branded with the Iranian uprising.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the rally this year is named after the uprising to be \u201cThe Iranian Uprising Grand Gathering.\u201d<\/p>\n
