They were met by bullets from the Revolutionary Guard, on Khomeini\u2019s direct orders.<\/p>\n<p>That day, the resistance decided it would no longer retreat. And since then, it has never been silenced: 43 years of struggle, sacrifice, and perseverance. In that time, over 100,000 opponents of the regime have been executed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75496\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" 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\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 1988 alone, more than 30,000 political prisoners\u2014most of them members or supporters of the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-of-iran-pmoi-mek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">People\u2019s Mojahedin<\/a>\u2014were massacred over a few short months, following a fatwa issued by Khomeini.<\/p>\n<p>These crimes are now recognized as crimes against humanity. Some experts even speak of genocide. Under the mullahs, Iran still holds the grim distinction of having the world\u2019s highest per-capita execution rate. Since August 2024, at least 1,350 executions have been recorded.<\/p>\n<p>And yet\u2014today, hope is in the air. You feel it more than anyone else. The road is still long, but victory has never been closer than it is now.<\/p>\n<p>Let me be clear: I am not speaking of Israeli bombings of Iran. That is neither your strategy nor your hope.<\/p>\n<p>Those are the illusions of people like the Shah\u2019s son, who believe history can repeat itself\u2014just as his father returned to power in 1953 through a CIA-orchestrated coup, and his grandfather was placed on the throne by the will of the British Empire.<\/p>\n<p>This prince knows only the paths from above. But your strength\u2014your legitimacy\u2014comes from walking alongside the people. And today, more than ever, your view of things is being confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Just two days ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a> said at the European Parliament\u2014I quote: \u201cTwenty-one years ago, I declared in this very plenary chamber: the solution is neither appeasement nor war, but a third path\u2014democratic change through the Iranian people and their organized resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But for years, appeasement reigned. In 2002, the National Council of Resistance of Iran exposed a secret military nuclear program of the regime\u2014an exposure the world knew nothing about until then. And how did Western democracies respond?<\/p>\n<p>They began negotiating with the perpetrators\u2014not with those who had revealed the truth. Worse still, they fulfilled the regime\u2019s demand by placing the resistance itself on the terrorist list.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 30 years ago, Maryam Rajavi warned\u2014and I quote again: \u201cThe policy of compromise and appeasement encourages the regime to continue its repression and inevitably leads to war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But appeasement was chosen out of fear of war. As Churchill once said: \u201cYou were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor\u2014and you will have war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75497\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" 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\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Former-French-MP-Jean-Pierre-Brard-3-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yet your resistance has not weakened\u2014on the contrary. Today, it is rooted in a clear program: the Ten-Point Plan, represented by Maryam Rajavi and the NCRI. It is based on universal values for which many peoples have given their lives: liberty, equality, fraternity.<\/p>\n<p>This plan calls for:<\/p>\n<p>Freedom of speech<\/p>\n<p>Freedom of assembly<\/p>\n<p>Freedom of the press and freedom of political parties<\/p>\n<p>Separation of religion and state<\/p>\n<p>Freedom of belief for all<\/p>\n<p>Full gender equality<\/p>\n<p>Autonomy for ethnic minorities and an end to their dual oppression<\/p>\n<p>Environmental protection<\/p>\n<p>A nuclear-free Iran, without weapons of mass destruction<\/p>\n<p>Today, this struggle inside Iran is carried forward by thousands of active Resistance Units. In just one year, they have carried out over 3,000 actions against the machinery of repression.<\/p>\n<p>It is this internal resistance\u2014this deeply rooted network within Iranian society\u2014that will ultimately deliver the decisive blow.<\/p>\n<p>As a famous revolutionary once said: \u201cTrue revolutionaries are those who see the beacon of freedom in the darkness, long before others can recognize it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So\u2014you will win.
