Nowadays news about international development on Iran is viewed on the whole by political observers as, against the mullahs regime and in favor of the people of Iran and the Iranian opposition (NCRI)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Hassan Rouhani<\/a>, the mullahs regime\u2019s president has admitted this change of regime\u2019s status quo has been launched since Iran\u2019s nationwide uprising in more than 142 cities<\/a> that started at the end of Dec. 2017 and continued throughout the winter of 2018, followed by everyday protests up until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The uprising which was first ignited by economic demands swiftly changed phase to the demand of regime change in its entirety and its replacement with a secular and democratic government. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this rightful demand will not be achieved only by overthrowing the regime in Iran. To fulfill such demand Iranian people are in need of a force that would truly represent them and has the power to bring such a demand into reality. This potential is embedded in the Iranian opposition (NCRI), which guarantees a democratic future in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian opposition (NCRI): a political movement or a democratic alternative?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many years, mullahs sought to convince the Iranian people that so-called \u201creformists\u201d are the regime\u2019s opposition as if \u201chawks pick out hawks\u2019 eyes!\u201d The Iranian opposition (NCRI) has been warning for years that \u201cthe game of hardliners versus reformists\u201d is just at the service of the regime\u2019s survival. And it was on January 2, 2018, that Tehran University students put an end to this game in practice chanting: \u201creformists, hardliners, the game is over<\/a>!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian people deny this regime in its entirety, thus its alternative should not be sought from within. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should this alternative\u2019s attributes be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This alternative not only must have a specific program for Iran\u2019s future but it should also have the power to overthrow this regime. This is exactly the distinction between Iran\u2019s opposition, led by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a> and the other forces that identify themselves as the opposition to this regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryam Rajavi; The symbol of Iranian opposition (NCRI):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, was unanimously elected in 1993 as the president-elect of the Iranian Resistance by the members of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. She is considered the symbol of free Iran of tomorrow. her leadership is unmatched. Her leadership is not only admired by the members and supporters of this movement but it is also praised and acclaimed by the most prominent political and human rights figures in five continents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Ted Poe<\/a> said about Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: \u201cFor many years, MEK <\/a>has been in the forefront of calling out this despicable regime. Madam Rajavi, you are a hero to many, including my daughters and my granddaughters, and I have always been proud to stand with you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Bill Richardson Former Governor of New Mexico<\/a> said: \u201cI want to tell you a lot of people ask, \u201cIs there an alternative to the mullahs, to the dictatorship?\u201d And the answer is, \u201cYes, it\u2019s the resistance. It\u2019s the MEK<\/a>. It\u2019s Mrs. Rajavi<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her name frightens the mullahs regime. Her messages and images are posted on the walls of the cities and distributed everywhere by \u00a0the resistance units<\/a> (MEK network inside the country).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
