Canadian Parliament conference \u201cIran at Crossroads\u201d highlights support for NCRI\u2019s democratic alternative and rejection of clerical rule and monarchy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A parliamentary conference<\/a> titled \u201cIran at Crossroads\u201d was held on Parliament Hill on May 27, 2026, bringing together Canadian and American officials, policy experts, and human rights advocates to examine Iran\u2019s escalating crisis. Co-chaired by the Hon. Judy Sgro<\/strong> and Member of Parliament Michael Cooper<\/strong>, the conference focused on the failure of Western appeasement policies, the regime\u2019s intensifying political executions, and the growing role of domestic Resistance Units. Speakers emphasized the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>) and its Ten-Point Plan<\/a> as a practical roadmap for establishing a free, secular, and democratic republic in Iran.<\/p>\n

In a video message<\/a>, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, President-elect of the NCRI<\/a>, stated that \u201cthe freedom of the Iranian people is deeply connected to global peace,\u201d describing the ruling religious dictatorship as a central source of regional conflict and international terrorism. She argued that the regime is incapable of reform and said nationwide uprisings have pushed the clerical establishment into an irreversible deadlock.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi<\/a> strongly criticized the longstanding policy of appeasement, saying it had \u201cdeprived the world of the main force for change in Iran.\u201d She stressed that the real solution lies in supporting the organized resistance and Resistance Units<\/a> confronting the Revolutionary Guards inside Iran.<\/p>\n

She also rejected any return to monarchy<\/a>, warning that supporters of the former Shah seek to revive the SAVAK secret police in order to weaken today\u2019s anti-dictatorial movement. Mrs. Rajavi called on Canada to expel agents of the Iranian regime and recognize the Iranian people\u2019s struggle for a democratic republic based on the NCRI\u2019s Ten-Point Plan.<\/p>\n
