I think it was 500 when the book was presented the other week, now over <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/supports\/2025\/05\/uk-lawmakers-support-iranian-resistance-as-560-members-of-the-uk-parliament-back-democratic-change\/73836\/\" rel=\"\">600, British Parliamentarians<\/a> and rising and rising.<\/p>\n<p>Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has now promised a new legal framework, which will give British ministers the powers to proscribe the IRGC, something we have called for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>This follows moves to place the IRGC and Iran\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence on the foreign influence registration scheme, resulting in anyone acting for or on behalf of the Iranian regime, the IRGC or MOIS being forced to register or face up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>These are welcome and long overdue measures. The IRGC is a terrorist organization and should be banned across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>As the British as the British government now acts against the regime, I urge it to take the next step, support the Iranian people\u2019s fight for a democratic future.

It also means opening dialogue and cooperation with the NCRI to hold the Mullahs\u2019 regime to account. If there\u2019s any doubt, just look at the film we\u2019ve just seen.<\/p>\n<p>Just look at how the regime fears the NCRI, its growing Resistance Units, and the support it enjoys amongst young people. And of course, as we\u2019ve heard about the truck strike, look at the way they have responded to the strikers.<\/p>\n<p>Intimidation, brutality, threats to take away their trucks and their fuel permits. This is how that regime behaves. We did hear earlier about a Tuesday statement.<\/p>\n<p>I won\u2019t read it, but we did have another statement earlier this morning from your friends in the British Trade Union movement and Friends of Iran, Lord Clark of Hampstead and Roger Lyons, who\u2019ve been with us for very many years.<\/p>\n<p>Britain needs to open discussions with the NCRI soon. Only the Iranian people can determine and shape Iran\u2019s future. And no one is better prepared, more committed, more organized, and capable of representing and delivering on the people\u2019s democratic aspirations than the NCRI and Madame Rajavi.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to back this democratic force for change could be a huge strategic mistake.\u00a0A free and democratic Iran is what the Iranian people want, and it\u2019s what the Middle East, Europe, and the world need. It will happen. Iran will be free.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-74644\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Lord-Steve-McCabe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"556\" 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\/2025\/06\/Lord-Steve-McCabe.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Lord-Steve-McCabe-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Lord-Steve-McCabe-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a major international gathering near Paris on May 31, 2025, Lord Steve McCabe endorsed the NCRI as the legitimate democratic alternative to Iran\u2019s regime, urging UK support for Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Ten-Point Plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":74642,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3037,18,1,32],"tags":[673,3396],"class_list":["post-74638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-free-iran-2025","category-supports","category-news","category-videos","tag-steve-mccabe","tag-the-second-free-iran-2025-conference"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
