August 7, 2026 \u2014 Zahedan, southeast Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n

PMOI\/MEK<\/a> Resistance Units<\/a> in Zahedan carried out their weekly activities, spreading messages of resistance, freedom, and rejection of both monarchical<\/a> and clerical dictatorship. Their slogans reaffirmed the determination of the Iranian people to continue the struggle for a democratic republic and to confront the regime\u2019s repression through organized resistance.<\/p>\n

Slogans Drawn from the Messages and Statements of Massoud Rajavi, Leader of the Iranian Resistance<\/h3>\n

\u201cPoor night owls, poor reactionaries! They do not know whom they are up against\u2014those who have rendered both the Shah and the Sheikh obsolete, those who have moved beyond the massacre of their political prisoners.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLearning from the bitter experiences of the pioneers of the Constitutional Revolution has now led to raising awareness and deepening the Resistance movement\u2019s red lines with the anti-human enemy and its allies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe red-hot and fiery dividing line between the people\u2019s front and the anti-people\u2019s front\u2014that is, between the people and those opposed to the people\u2014is the only real, necessary, and genuine dividing line in the political arena.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs in the past 60 years, our struggle against the theocracy and the monarchy for freedom and independence will continue until the victory of the democratic revolution and the establishment of a democratic republic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither Shah<\/a> nor mullahs\u2014the only democratic, national, patriotic, and revolutionary policy under the present historical circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranian people and freedom-seekers have consistently given the same answer: Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Supreme Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slogans Drawn from the Messages and Statements of Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the NCRI<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe theocratic dictatorship will not withstand the uprising and organized resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what schemes or crimes the mullahs and their affiliates resort to, they will not be able to undermine the steadfastness of the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a fundamental principle that the Iranian regime will never abandon arrests and executions, its systematic violation of human rights, nuclear bomb-making, war, and terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these executions, the regime only strengthens the resolve of rebellious youth to overthrow this blood-soaked regime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe religious dictatorship seeks to prevent the eruption of the people\u2019s anger through the repeated executions of young Mojahedin and brave Iranian rebels.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the regime\u2019s levers for confronting the uprising and Resistance is giving space to a fabricated alternative centered around the remnants of the Shah<\/a>\u2019s dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Third Option rejects both the path of religious despotism and the path of dependency, and opens the way toward genuine freedom and independence for Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a fundamental principle that the Iranian regime will never abandon arrests and executions, its systematic violation of human rights, nuclear bomb-making, war, and terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the regime\u2019s levers for confronting the uprising and Resistance is giving space to a fabricated alternative centered around the remnants of the Shah\u2019s dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom Zahedan to Tehran: Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah<\/a> or the Supreme Leader<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMay the people and history curse the blood-soaked mullah and Shah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMonarchy and theocratic rule: A hundred years of crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeath to the oppressor, be it the Shah<\/a> or the Supreme Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n
