ROME, Italy \u2014 July 17, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Mrs. Maryam Rajavi,<\/a> President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>), addressed the conference<\/a> \u201cIran Beyond War, the Power of the People as the Solution\u201d<\/strong> in Rome, presenting her assessment of Iran\u2019s current crisis and outlining what she described as the path toward a democratic republic founded on popular sovereignty.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Rajavi <\/a>said that developments in Iran since the 1979 revolution have had profound regional and international consequences, citing the hostage-taking at the U.S. Embassy, the Iran-Iraq war, the rise of the nationwide resistance against clerical rule, the massacre and execution of political prisoners, the regime\u2019s pursuit of nuclear weapons, its interventions across the Middle East, and acts of transnational terrorism, including the assassination of Mohammad Hossein Naqdi, the NCRI<\/a>\u2019s representative, in Rome.<\/p>\n
Addressing the question of resolving Iran\u2019s crisis, Mrs. Rajavi said the solution lies neither in preserving the current system nor in restoring the former monarchy, but in establishing a democratic republic. She stated that both the current and former dictatorships had reached historical and political dead ends, making their continuation impossible.<\/p>\n
