This shows the position of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-call-on-international-community-to-prosecute-ebrahim-raisi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> in Khamenei\u2019s survival strategy. For two years, Khamenei kept repeating at every meeting that the government\u2019s way out of the impasse would be to establish a young Hezbollah state!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, after a year, all Khamenei\u2019s hopes were dashed. Raisi, instead of being the solution, has now become a problem.<\/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=\"Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s failure to fix Iran\u2019s economy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tiarugci3vc?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>Raisi, who took office with the deceptive slogan of \u201cjustice\u201d to dupe at least a small part of society to support him, has quickly become the most hated face of the mullahs\u2019 regime. In so far that, the slogan of \u201cdeath to Raisi\u201d has become a common slogan in protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of his role in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>, Ebrahim Raisi, known as the mass murderer of 1988, quickly faced the expansion of the justice seeking movement for the victims of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iran1988.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1988 massacre<\/a>.

By appointing Raisi as president, Khamenei has brought his regime to a stage where even acquiring an atomic bomb cannot save him from being overthrown. <\/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=\"Fitting a Square Peg into a Round Hole with Iran Negotiations - April 2021\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mzxOyfArflw?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>Because by bringing Raisi, Khamenei clearly displays that the primary conflict is neither with America or Europe nor its nuclear crisis, but with the people of Iran, who do not want this regime of religious tyranny. In other words, the explosive power of the people is much stronger than the atomic bomb that Khamenei pursues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Khamenei cannot pull himself out of the vicious circle of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/component\/tags\/tag\/iran-nuclear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JCPOA<\/a>. The Nuclear talks are in a complete deadlock; whichever way it goes, his regime is the first loser.

A slight expansion of anti- suffocation operations along with several large-scale attacks on government systems and sites have produced a stunning show of strength of the Resistance Units. They have quickly turned into a beacon of hope for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the attack on several IRGC bases in Tehran and other cities sets an example for the young people convinced of the necessity of Resistance to overthrow the regime that the current situation and atmosphere of intimidation can be overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global recognition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a> is due to their outstanding performance in the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in prison, and being exposed to severe torture, the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/?s=Resistance+Units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a> members have now turned prisons into centers of Resistance.<\/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=\"MEK Resistance Units send 5000 messages to Free Iran 2022 campaign\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XO0yuCkQsUQ?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>The major achievements of the Iranian Resistance during the last year in prestigious international courts and the conviction of criminals such as Hamid Noury and Assadollah Assadi, once again proved the power of logic and authenticity of the Iranian Resistance and the campaign they have embarked on recently in the Belgian court is a part of this continuous battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit of US officials such as Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo to Ashraf 3, the headquarters of the Iranian Resistance in Albania, and the annual gathering in Ashraf 3 with the participation of hundreds of international personalities show the position of this Resistance and its elevation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there another front?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the Resistance Front and the People\u2019s Front are in fact a unified front, and we have made this distinction only for a more detailed analysis. Now the question is, are there other actors in the scene?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact is that there are many actors in the virtual world theoretically. The remnants of the monarchy in different and colorful spectrums, elements of the fallout from the regime, again in different colors and backgrounds, ranging from students to mullahs and those disappointed in the camp of fake reformers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, if we are to verify the claims of these actors with actions indicating their intention to overthrow the regime, we will see that all of them are in the mullahs\u2019 front, and they are rejected groups who have never taken a step to overthrow this regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can the regime of religious tyranny be overthrown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We examined the current balance between the People\u2019s Front, Iran\u2019s organized Resistance, and Khamenei\u2019s demonic front. Our conclusion is that everything is improving and progressing in the people\u2019s front and the Resistance. But on Khamenei\u2019s front, everything is going down, and the strategic reserves are being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this day on, as we have seen in the experience of the Ukrainian people fight, when the element of Resistance is willing to pay the price, the path for fighting and Resistance will be paved, and the world will be forced to respect its cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millions of the oppressed people of Iran are ready to pursue and claim their rights from the 43-year oppression that has been inflicted on them. This movement will win against the Velayat al-Faqih regime (absolute religious dictatorship) and its corrupt and disorganized IRGC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the flag of Resistance and uprising should be raised over rooftops of every neighborhood and every street of all Iran\u2019s cities.
