The regime attempts to justify its \u201cunited opposition\u201d stance, suggesting unity and sympathy for the opposition, but it actually sows seeds of division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/John-Bercow-second-from-right-speaking-at-the-Italian-parliament-in-defense-of-the-Iranian-peoples-struggle-for-freedom.jpg\" alt=\"John Bercow (second from right) speaking at the Italian parliament in defense of the Iranian people's struggle for freedom\" class=\"wp-image-48134\" 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\/2023\/07\/John-Bercow-second-from-right-speaking-at-the-Italian-parliament-in-defense-of-the-Iranian-peoples-struggle-for-freedom.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/John-Bercow-second-from-right-speaking-at-the-Italian-parliament-in-defense-of-the-Iranian-peoples-struggle-for-freedom-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/John-Bercow-second-from-right-speaking-at-the-Italian-parliament-in-defense-of-the-Iranian-peoples-struggle-for-freedom-768x447.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>John Bercow (second from right) speaking at the Italian parliament in defense of the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for freedom<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that true unity and cohesion among freedom-loving forces are built through a common struggle to overthrow the regime, not through mere claims. The struggle requires sacrifices and unwavering resistance against any form of tyranny, be it religious fascism or dictatorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent events have shown that attempts to assemble opposition movements under the banner of unity without addressing fundamental questions of freedom and sovereignty are bound to fail. Those with selfish motives will be eliminated from the struggle, while those genuinely committed to their people\u2019s cause will find common ground to overcome tyranny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, the focus should be on denouncing the demagogic claims of unity that only serve to divide the freedom-fighting forces. Emphasizing \u201cneither Shah nor the mullahs\u201d becomes imperative in the present struggle against the religious tyranny, not just for the future democratic structure of Iran, but foremost, for the overthrow of the current oppressive regime.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a recent joint meeting of Italian parliamentarians, John Bercow, the former speaker of the UK Parliament, made a significant statement regarding the deceptive tactics employed by the Iranian regime.
