A Better World Without the Iranian Regime!
In one of the unprecedented circumstances the Iranian regime faces, where the suffocating international isolation is evident, it has become clear that it is encountering an extremely difficult phase unlike any it has faced before. However, in order to find an escape and relief from this, it resorts, as always, to mixing the cards to create problems and crises. This is exactly what is happening with the Iranian regime when it threatens to exacerbate situations and push them to a critical point in some countries of the region or suggests doing so. Yet, it knows very well that what it is doing this time or even what it may seek to do does not resemble previous instances at all, as the regional and international situations are significantly different from before. Furthermore, this time, there are no glimmers of hope for the regime's success in its endeavors; on the contrary, developments may occur that could be seen as unexpected surprises for the Iranian regime itself, and the likelihood of tensions exploding within Iran and reaching a point of no return is very high. Many circles now anticipate this at any moment, especially if it is accompanied by political unrest here and there.
The major problem facing the Iranian regime is represented by the National Council of Resistance of Iran and the leading role that its president, Maryam Rajavi, plays. The regime is greatly fearful that this council may ultimately take the initiative during the escalation of events.
In this context, a massive demonstration organized by supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran took place in Washington, D.C., on March 8, 2025. Thousands of Iranian-Americans marched from the Capitol building to the White House, demanding a firmer U.S. policy against the Iranian regime and recognition of the Iranian people's right to overthrow it. This demonstration coincided with International Women's Day, giving it a special character, as participants held up pictures of Maryam Rajavi, affirming their support for her ten-point plan for a democratic and non-nuclear Iran. This demonstration served as a powerful message to the Iranian regime that the Iranian opposition is stronger and more organized than ever, and that its international support is expanding, further isolating the regime at a time when it is suffering both internally and externally.
Notably, the council has achieved significant political gains during this critical phase, particularly with the U.S. Congress issuing Resolution 166, which explicitly condemns human rights violations in Iran, calls for the immediate release of political prisoners, and demands a halt to arbitrary execution campaigns. The resolution also reaffirms U.S. support for the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people and calls for strengthening international efforts to pressure the Iranian regime to respect the rights of its citizens.
Perhaps the most important aspect of this resolution is its clear support for Maryam Rajavi’s ten-point plan, which offers a comprehensive vision for Iran's future following the downfall of the regime, particularly regarding the separation of religion and state, gender equality, the abolition of the death penalty, and commitment to a democratic system and a non-nuclear state—principles that align with global human rights values. The issuance of this resolution during this challenging period for the regime not only negatively affects the regime but also inspires hope and optimism among the Iranian people, motivating them further to continue their resistance against it.
The Iranian regime has made extensive efforts to marginalize the role and activities of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in general. However, the recent events and developments have deprived the regime of the most important tools it used against the countries of the region and the world. Moreover, U.S. pressures appear to be reaching a peak, particularly since just hours after Ali Khamenei, the regime's Supreme Leader, rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s offer to negotiate over the Iranian nuclear program, the White House reiterated that Tehran has only two options: agreement or military confrontation.
Undoubtedly, the current U.S. administration is not at all like the previous administrations of Presidents Obama and Biden, with which the regime could maneuver and buy time. The spokesperson for the U.S. National Security Council, Brian Hughes, confirmed on the evening of Saturday, March 9, that the United States will not allow the Iranian regime to continue its destabilizing policies, indicating that time is running out for Tehran to make a final decision regarding the future of its nuclear program. Therefore, everything is moving towards cornering the regime into a very tight spot, and on the whole, this does not bode well for Tehran, especially since it has become clear that the world is better off without this regime.
