The following is the text of her remarks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Secretary,<br>Welcome to\u00a0Ashraf-3, home to the Iranian people\u2019s Resistance.<br>Those here today continue the Iranian people\u2019s 120-year-long struggle for freedom. They include 1,000 tortured political prisoners during the Shah\u2019s dictatorship and those imprisoned under the mullahs\u2019 tyranny.<br>In visiting the\u00a0Resistance\u2019s Museum, you saw a glimpse of the Iranian people\u2019s enormous pain and suffering, on the one hand and their struggle for freedom, on the other.<br>The Iranian people and the mullahs\u2019 regime have faced off ferociously in the past 43 years. And this fight will continue until a free democratic republic is established in Iran.<br>For a while, the mullahs tried to portray Iraq as the enemy. Then, they tried to portray the United States as the enemy. But the people of Iran and the MEK say that our enemy is in\u00a0Iran.<br>The mullahs said the MEK were terrorists, a cult, and the enemies of God. They claimed the\u00a0MEK\u00a0did not have any base of support in Iran. There are many similar and baseless allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two significant factors to the conflict in today\u2019s Iran:<br>On the one hand, we see the regime at its weakest point. On the other, we see the people\u2019s maximum anger and discontent. The outcome of these factors has been the progress and expansion of the organized Resistance.<br>The West ignored the Iranian people and their organized resistance as the decisive factor in the developments pertaining to Iran for four decades. It thus enabled the mullahs such that they are on the verge of having a nuclear bomb.<br>As you said last September, you are \u201con the right side of this fight.\u201d You said, and I quote, \u201cIran will never return to rule by a dictatorial Shah or theocratic regime. The central fight is the one in the streets, and in the mosques, and in the minds of the\u00a0Iranian people\u00a0\u2013 it is the divide between the people and the organized opposition seeking freedom and democracy on one side and the entirety of the regime on the other. I have been in this fight on the right side for over a decade now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/mike-pompeo-pmoi-people-iran-confrontation-clerical-regime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>more<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Maryam Rajavi\u2019s speech to the Ashraf-3 gathering hosting Secretary Mike Pompeo\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dUP-M-otVpI?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>After that, Mr. Pompeo addressed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK <\/a>members and stated: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d also like to recognize President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>. Under her leadership, the National Council of Resistance of Iran is laying the groundwork for a free, sovereign, and democratic republic in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Pompeo added: \u201cA serious missing factor in U.S. policy towards Iran has been the lack of political support for the organized opposition. \u201cThe regime in Tehran went to the extreme to massacre 30,000 political prisoners, whose main targets and a majority of victims were the MEK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The threat of attack extends far beyond Iran\u2019s borders, with the regime having waged terror plots in Europe and the U.S. against the leaders of this movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to correct the Iran policy, no matter who is in the White House, it is a necessity for the U.S. administration to reach out to the Iranian Resistance and take advantage of its tremendous capabilities. Ashraf 3 is one such place to focus on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read <a
