A Machiavellian and decayed regime in Iran is barely a paper tiger; the West has turned it into a hero and a figurehead... This is the West and its policies in the Middle East, which have led to destruction in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon, damaging the Palestinian cause altogether, destroying Gaza, displacing and killing its people. Now, it has reached the brink of annihilation. Yes, these are Western policies and its global system—policies that have never brought wisdom, whether during the Shah’s dictatorship or the era of the mullahs’ dictatorship, along with their fugitive partner, Assad, who rules a country he does not belong to. That’s why he fled when faced with insignificant confrontations, leaving behind a depleted country that no longer cares, having exhausted its resources. Now, he is benefiting from them in exile… These are the deeds of the West, which will continue as long as its political instruments remain active in the region.

It has become entirely clear that the regime of the mullahs in Iran is not the target of these reckless confrontations. Instead, the goal is to overthrow states and terrorize their peoples to domesticate and humiliate them afterward. Their natural approach in this context is to place destructive regimes like these at the helm of power in Iran, Iraq, and Syria—and to exhaust and oppress the populations to the point where compliance with external dictates becomes easy.

The West is run by major capitalist corporations. The Middle East is driven by the ambitions of these corporations, and maintaining the Supreme Leader’s rule in Iran serves their interests. However, unexpected developments occurred when the revolutionaries overthrew the Assad regime and fled—those surprises are exactly what resistance units affiliated with the Iranian People's Mujahedin Organization may bring about. As revolutionary momentum among the peoples intensifies, all plans, regardless of their scope or cost, can be shattered by their advances. The free world must understand this.

We are not among those easily deceived by slogans or empty rhetoric; we are aware and aware of what is happening behind the scenes. The West may create and prepare conditions for the mullahs’ regime to become an regional hero in the eyes of the deceived, but to us and the knowledgeable, it remains a paper tiger. Everyone should know that the victims of the oppressive mullahs’ system—caused by government crackdown campaigns, enforced disappearances, and regional expansion—far outweigh the human losses from these absurd wars, which have transformed the dark mullahs in Iran from paper tigers into revolutionaries who declare rebellion against everything, and impose the Iranian nuclear bomb as an established fact. All of this is the result of Western policies of appeasement and indulgence—if not a premeditated plan. Meanwhile, genuine support for the Iranian people's struggle and progressive resistance could have been effective instead of imposing restrictions and siege.

How many of us wished that the West would abandon policies of appeasement and stop encouraging the fascist regime of the mullahs in Iran to pursue war, sedition, hostage-taking, and blackmail. But we fully know—certainly—that Iran’s nuclear weapon is only a means to subjugate the region and will harm the West not at all; the walls of Dimona reactor haven’t been hit even once, despite the fact that they burned the port of Haifa at the outset of the 12-day war, and they killed their top commanders in a staged scene never to be repeated, directed by the usual script.

While the Western line and policies persist along this destructive path, and the mullah regime's self-destructive course continues, the democratic alternative led by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi does not merely oppose a ceasefire in this absurd war—it calls for ending it altogether. The only way to do so is to overthrow the ruling regime in Iran. According to her vision, ending the war is a step forward toward the third solution: under the slogan “No to war and no to compromise,” she urges the Iranian people to decide their destiny themselves, overthrow Khamenei and the dictatorship of the Islamic Wilayat al-Faqih in their decisive struggle. The Iranian people have repeatedly rejected both the Shah’s dictatorship and Wilayat al-Faqih through continuous struggle, uprisings, and paying hefty prices and shedding blood. They reject both regimes equally. We desire a democratic, non-nuclear republic that separates religion from the state, ensures full gender equality, and grants self-governance to Iran’s nationalities. This is the only way to achieve peace, democracy, human rights, stability, development, friendship, cooperation, and progress for the region and the entire world.

The stark difference between the vision and approach of those seeking a realistic and feasible solution on the ground and those maneuvering to keep crises and their repercussions alive is clear. Those who cannot interpret historical events or what is happening on the ground will simply surrender.
 

The clearest difference in vision and approach lies between those who desire and strive to find a realistic and feasible solution on the ground, and those who maneuver to maintain crises and their consequences. Anyone who cannot read or understand the historical events and what is happening on the ground will inevitably surrender their mind and will entirely to the regime of the mullahs and the deceivers working to burn the Middle East and its people. The only hope for the salvation of the Iranian people and tranquility in the region is the establishment of a unified, democratic, non-nuclear Iran that fully respects the rights of all its citizens.
