Today, the religious dictatorship stands at its weakest point since 1979. The reasons are clear: uncontrollable economic collapse, the regime\u2019s failure to provide essential services such as electricity, gas, and water, rampant corruption, and relentless repression \u2014 the very factors that fueled the 2022 uprising.\u201d<br>\nRajavi added that the fall of Hezbollah in Lebanon and overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria \u201chave left [Ayatollah] <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2020\/10\/who-is-ali-khamenei-iranian-regime-supreme-leader\/19254\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Khamenei<\/a>\u2019s so-called \u2018external shield\u2019 in ruins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The loss of any dependable allies, she told us, \u201cis why [Khamenei\u2019s]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/regime-program-nuclear-free-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<strong>nuclear weapons project<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has become all the more important for him \u2014 and ironically, it has now become a new source of crisis for the regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rajavi addressed the frequent criticisms of exiles trying to overthrow dictatorships in their home countries \u2014 that they have no presence within the country and little connection with the people actually living in those repressive states.<\/p>\n<p>In her words, \u201c<strong>The National Council of Resistance of Iran <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/interim-session-of-the-national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>(NCRI)<\/strong><\/a>, and particularly its principal component, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK), have built extensive networks across Iran. The MEK\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/resistanceunits.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a> \u2014 comprised of courageous women and men from all walks of life \u2014 are the beating heart of this movement within the country. They drive the organization of protests, the distribution of anti-regime materials, and above all, the breaking of the walls of censorship and fear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond these units, there is a wide social network of MEK supporters, including the families of executed prisoners, former political prisoners, and exiles, who play an active role in social protests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rajavi strongly emphasized that \u201cresistance units are becoming more active and widespread by the day. Their focus is on organizing, raising awareness, inspiring others, and targeting the Revolutionary Guards and other repressive agencies. The fall of this regime is not a question of \u2018if\u2019\u2014but \u2018when.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As evidence of her claim, she cited \u201cthe regime\u2019s highest officials \u2014 including its Supreme Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/who-is-ali-khamenei-the-supreme-leader-of-irans-regime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ali Khamenei<\/a> himself and the Speaker of the Parliament \u2014 who have repeatedly acknowledged the pivotal role of the MEK in igniting the uprisings of 2018, 2019, and 2022, and in organizing the broader resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The undercover operation within Iran, said Rajavi, \u201cmanaged to obtain and deliver some of the regime\u2019s most sensitive and confidential information to the MEK. The exposure of the regime\u2019s nuclear projects over the past 34 years \u2014 as well as its terrorist plots and hidden crimes \u2014 has only been possible thanks to the MEK\u2019s organized networks and broad social base inside Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Relying on this network, she told us, \u201cthe MEK has made more than 130 revelations about Tehran\u2019s nuclear weapons program.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Why Are Iranians Fed Up Now?<\/h3>\n<p>Newsmax recalled how many Americans felt what was blatant election fraud to deny Hossein Mousavi the presidency of Iran in 2009 and the brutal killing of 22-year-old\u00a0Kurdish-Iranian <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/human-rights\/2022\/09\/the-brutal-murder-of-mahsa-amini-by-khameneis-criminal-agents-has-created-a-wave-of-anger-and-hatred-throughout-iran\/37206\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mahsa Amini<\/a>\u00a0for not wearing the hijab (headgear) along government-ordered standards as events that did not bring down the regime. What is different about the situation today, we asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation today is fundamentally different \u2014 and far more dangerous and precarious for the regime,\u201d Rajavi replied, \u201cFirst, the regime is far weaker than it was 16 years ago and even three years ago. Public anger and hatred toward the regime have multiplied many times over. Its social base has shrunk dramatically, the economic situation is disastrous, and the country teeters on the brink of bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond, the leadership of the 2009 uprising came from within the regime itself. So, when the uprising escalated and people began demanding regime change, these leaders turned their backs on the people and the movement, choosing to preserve the system over democracy and popular sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>Third, the organized resistance inside the country is vastly stronger than it was 16 years ago. Today, the MEK\u2019s Resistance Units have the structure, discipline, and nationwide presence needed to channel public outrage into a focused, sustained uprising.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Speech at the European Parliament- Strasbourg<br>Today, from the home of the peoples of Europe, a unified voice was heard in support of the people of Iran, the Iranian Resistance, and the network of Resistance Units in Iran.

He suffered defeats in two elections in 2024, both of which were widely boycotted by the people, and the Revolutionary Guards \u2014 the backbone of the regime \u2014 have endured major setbacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, international support for the NCRI \u2014 the democratic alternative \u2014 and its Ten-Point Plan, which is endorsed by a majority of the U.S. House of Representatives and thousands of lawmakers worldwide, has created a favorable global climate for change in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Any interview with an Iranian opposition leader inevitably gets around to the best-known \u2014 and since the bombing, most publicized \u2014 figure of an opponent to the regime: Reza Pahlavi, son of the Shah of Iran who was overthrown in the 1979 revolution that brought the theocracy to power. Rajavi and her allies are sure he will have no role in regime change, so, we asked, why has he received so much press attention?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the remnants of the Shah\u2019s regime seek is nothing but the revival of a brutal, single-party dictatorship,\u201d Rajavi remonstrated, \u201cThey lack both a real organization for change and any genuine social base inside Iran, and they claim to be in regular contact with Iran Revolutionary Guard commanders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are numerous credible reports that the regime, which feels no threat from monarchist remnants, actually promotes them to create the impression that the only alternative to the current regime is a return to the past \u2014 discouraging the people from demanding real change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Iranian people, having suffered under both the crown and the turban, want neither the past nor the present; they seek a future free of all forms of despotism \u2014 a democratic republic.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Will Military, Police Defect From Regime?<\/h3>\n<p>Regarding possible defections from the police or military to join the resistance, Rajavi was not so enthusiastic.<br>\n\u201cAs far as the top brass of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2023\/04\/irans-regime-irgc-a-state-sponsored-terrorist-organization\/44858\/\" rel=\"\">Revolutionary Guards<\/a> and other repressive forces are concerned,\u201d she said, \u201cKhamenei appoints only the most loyal individuals \u2014 those who see their own survival as inseparable from that of the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, at every level, they are kept under daily scrutiny by a legion of clerics serving as \u2018representatives of the Supreme Leader.\u2019 Of course, there will always be some who break away, but at the top, this is the exception rather than the norm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, she quickly added, \u201cthere are increasingly clear signs of dissatisfaction and attrition within the rank-and-file of the regime\u2019s military and security forces \u2014 stemming from economic pressures, moral exhaustion, and the erosion of legitimacy. The regime\u2019s repressive apparatus still stands, but it grows more brittle by the day, and the cracks within it are
