"The beast can be brought down. Yes, we can and we must!" - Maryam Rajavi - Iran

Maryam Rajavi to #FreeIran gathering in Paris: ‘A year after nuclear deal, both factions fail at rescue, Iranian regime on verge of being overthrown’ 

Addressing a large gathering of Iranian exiles in Paris on 9 July, Free Iran , Iranian Resistance President-elect Maryam Rajavi presented an assessment of the clerical regime’s situation one year after signing the nuclear agreement and said: “The regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei realized that the survival of his regime was threatened. In order to rescue the regime, he ultimately decided to retreat with an at least temporary abandonment of the regime’s nuclear weapons programme. Yet the crisis engulfing the regime could not be contained. On the contrary, it was exacerbated, throwing the regime even deeper into the quagmire of the Syrian war

“Owing to explosive public discontent and the existence of a capable and vigilant alternative force, the regime finds itself exposed to the danger of being overthrown. It is not without reason that only five days before your major gathering in Paris, the regime ordered the missile attack against Camp Liberty. This was a reaction to Iranians’ reception for this gathering, and a further indication of the regime’s fear of being overthrown.”“There were many who assumed that the nuclear deal would bring tranquility to the region. But instead it brought barrel bombs and unleashed 70,000 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members on the people of Syria. It resulted in ethnic cleansing of Sunnis by the terrorist Quds Force in Iraq. And it led to the spread of extremism under the banner of Islam in the whole region.“US policy on Iran, and consequently on the Middle East, has leaped from one mistake to another: From the notion of empowering bogus moderates within the regime to blacklisting the People’sMojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), to remaining silent vis-à-vis the 2009 uprising in Iran. This policy has enabled the religious dictatorship, has brought calamity to our nations and other crises to the U.S.
