She also said the slogan \u201cNeither Shah nor the Mullahs\u201d had gained greater force and validity.<\/p>\n<h2>Regime Measures Described as a Failure<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Mrs. Rajavi said that, eight months after the uprising of January, every measure and tactic undertaken by the regime to prevent its eventual overthrow had failed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">She described Iran\u2019s cities as facing continuing unrest and said that protests by a suppressed, plundered, and disenfranchised population were continuing to grow. Her message attributed the expansion of discontent to rising prices, impoverishment, and attempts to shift the burden of the regime\u2019s failures and bankruptcy onto the population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The message said the regime had become increasingly fearful and had resorted to gradual increases in gasoline prices, while arguing that such measures would ultimately fail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Mrs. Rajavi also said that attacks on people\u2019s livelihoods would not resolve what she described as the regime\u2019s bankruptcy and that repression would not prevent another uprising. She referred to defiance in long queues, anger arising from deprivation and hunger, and the self-immolation of workers as signs that, in her words, there was \u201cno way out for Khamenei\u2019s son.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Executions and Pressure on Political Prisoners<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">According to Mrs. Rajavi\u2019s message, the Iranian regime had responded to the situation by resorting to executions, including the execution of dozens of political prisoners in recent months, among them <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI<\/a> members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">She also referred to death sentences imposed on political prisoners and rebellious protesters, as well as what she described as inhumane pressure on prisoners of the uprising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Mrs. Rajavi characterized these measures as a \u201cdesperate struggle for survival\u201d and said they were ultimately doomed to fail before what she described as the will of the freedom-loving Iranian people.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Message to the freedom-loving Iranians commemorating the 2022 uprising<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 uprising in Iran, followed by the January 2026 uprising, exposed the destructive role played by the remnants of the Shah's dictatorship.

The message identified \u201cPeace and Freedom\u201d as the rallying cry of the National Council of Resistance of Iran and concluded with the assertion that peace and freedom would ultimately
