Her speech focused on the ongoing struggle for freedom and democracy in Iran, emphasizing that the primary objective of their movement is to restore power to the Iranian people rather than seize it for themselves.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gathering at the US Senate<br>Iranian Resistance\u2019s Roadmap to Establish a Free and Democratic Society<br>Recent developments and the overthrow of the Syrian dictatorship, have dealt a strategic blow to the clerical regime.

She noted that the fall of the Syrian dictatorship has weakened the Iranian clerical regime and its proxy forces, such as Hezbollah. \u201cThe world witnessed how Assad\u2019s heavily armed forces melted like snow under the summer sun,\u201d she stated, underscoring that similar outcomes await the oppressive forces in Iran facing public discontent and uprisings.<\/p>\n<p>In a pointed critique of Iranian Supreme Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2020\/10\/who-is-ali-khamenei-iranian-regime-supreme-leader\/19254\/\" rel=\"\">Ali Khamenei<\/a>, Rajavi labeled him a \u201cstrategic loser,\u201d arguing that his attempts to divert attention from domestic issues through military conflicts have ultimately backfired. She highlighted that these wars are often a last resort for dictatorships on the brink of collapse. Rajavi emphasized that a powerful protest movement is gaining traction within Iranian society, despite severe repression from the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Rajavi called for a shift in U.S. policy towards Iran, urging lawmakers to recognize the Iranian people\u2019s right to overthrow their oppressors. She articulated a vision for a democratic Iran, led by an organized resistance with substantial social support. The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" rel=\"\">NCRI<\/a>\u2018s roadmap includes establishing a provisional government to oversee free elections and drafting a new constitution that respects human rights and gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>She concluded her address by wishing U.S. lawmakers and the American people a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, reinforcing her commitment to supporting the Iranian people\u2019s fight for freedom. Rajavi\u2019s speech not only outlined the challenges faced by Iranians but also presented a clear alternative to the current regime, advocating for democracy, equality, and peace in the region.<\/p>\n<p>This gathering reflects a broader movement among Iranian expatriates and supporters who seek international recognition and support for their cause against what they describe as a repressive regime.<\/p>\n<div id=\"title\" class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\">\n<h3 class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\">Video\u2014Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Vision: A Free and Democratic Iran
