They want freedom, a democratic republic, and the right to decide their own future.<br>\nThe regime that rules Iran does not represent the Iranian people. It is an enemy of the people and responsible for the killing of Iran\u2019s young generation.<br>\nIt is also a threat to peace and security in the region and the world. The people of Iran are determined to end this dictatorship. As long as this regime stays in power, repression, executions, terrorism, and warmongering will continue. The ruling clerics are trying to shift attention away from the crisis inside Iran by creating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and across the region.<br>\nBut the real battle is between the Iranian people and the organized Resistance, on one side, and the religious dictatorship on the other.<\/p>\n<h3>Regime Fears Iranian People\u2019s Uprising<\/h3>\n<p>In recent days, the regime\u2019s security forces have been placed on high alert.<br>\nThe Revolutionary Guards have held two large military exercises in the streets of Tehran and 15 other cities across Iran.<br>\nBasij forces have been stationed at gas stations. The ruling clerics are deeply afraid of another uprising.<br>\nRising prices have created serious social unrest across the country. Workers, nurses, the unemployed, and retirees have once again taken to the streets in daily protests.<br>\nAt the same time, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a> have carried out hundreds of anti-repression actions over the past two months.<br>\nPolitical prisoners have intensified their resistance. From behind prison walls, they are calling on the people to rise up and protest.<br>\nYes, the ruling regime has never been weaker than it is today. The death of Khamenei has created deep instability within the regime.<br>\nAn intense power struggle has gotten out of control among the ruling factions. Some members of the regime\u2019s so-called parliament are calling for the removal of Pezeshkian the regime\u2019s current president.<br>\nOthers are demanding the trial of former president Rouhani.<\/p>\n<h3>The Clerical Regime Needs a Strategy of War and Repression<\/h3>\n<p>The clerical regime relies on war and repression as a matter of survival.<br>\nThis strategy includes continuing conflict, increasing the activities of its proxy groups in the region, pursuing its nuclear weapons program, executing political prisoners, and raising prices.<br>\nBut this strategy has deadly consequences for its very survival. Several major events taken place in Iran over the past year have significant importance.<br>\nThey include two wars, a major uprising, a massacre, and the expansion of Resistance Units activities.<br>\nThese events have revealed important facts in three areas.<br>\n\u2013 First, as the Iranian Resistance has emphasized for many years, this regime will not give up the pillars of its survival.<br>\nIt will not stop repressing the Iranian people. It will not give up its nuclear program, its missile program, or its support for war and proxy groups in the region.<br>\n\u2013 Second, for many years it has been clear that appeasement of this regime does not work. It only encourages more human rights abuse and more warmongering.<br>\n\u2013 Third, over the past year, it has also become clear that war and foreign military intervention are not the solution to Iran\u2019s problem. Neither war nor appeasement is the answer.<br>\nThe solution is the overthrow of this regime by the people of Iran and their organized Resistance. This is a truth that we declared 22 years ago. Over the past year everyone has seen it for themselves.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Day 2 of Rally by freedom-loving Iranians outside the UN General Assembly, New York<\/p>\n<p>The regime that rules Iran does not represent the Iranian people.
