Desperate Iranian Regime in Nuclear High-Gear as Iranians Rally in Paris; Trump meets with Netanyahu
Events are unfolding very quickly relative to Iran. The desperate regime is operating at a high speed level to develop nuclear weapons capabilities. Iranians all over the world are speaking out with ever more forceful intensity, demanding the overthrow of the oppressive regime in Iran, which has tortured and murdered many of its own citizens.
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to meet with President Donald Trump, the topic of a nuclear Iran is likely at the top of the list of agenda items. Tehran has been significantly weakened over the last year. While some may see that as welcome news, it also has made Iran more desperate to achieve some level of nuclear war capabilities.
As this meeting will be taking place, Iranian people will be descending on Paris for the Free Iran Rally, which is expected to see massive attendance. Some of these Iranian people have loved ones on death row in Iran for being nothing other than political opponents to an oppressive regime. The protestors in France will consist of former political prisoners, many of whom grew up as orphans because their parents were killed.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) is making urgent calls for global leaders and media to expose the Iranian regime’s renewed push toward nuclear weapons and its escalating oppression of its own people. With the U.S. intelligence community now confirming that Iran is fast-tracking a crude nuclear weapon, and thousands of Iranian dissidents set to rally in Paris on February 8, the time for decisive action is now. The NCRI is available for interviews to provide firsthand analysis on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, its human rights abuses, and the global security threats posed by the regime.
IRAN’S SECRET FAST-TRACK TO A NUCLEAR WEAPON
A recent intelligence assessment has confirmed what the NCRI has long warned: Iran is working to accelerate the development of a nuclear weapon through a crude but effective method. The newly uncovered approach would allow the regime to deploy a functional warhead much faster than previously believed. This revelation comes at a time when Iran’s hardline Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are facing increasing pressure from international sanctions and mounting opposition within Iran itself.
For years, Iran has skirted international regulations while enriching uranium beyond civilian energy requirements. Now, rather than pursuing a sophisticated warhead that could be launched via ballistic missile, Tehran is reportedly opting for a simpler nuclear device that could be quickly assembled and detonated, bringing the regime dangerously close to acquiring nuclear status.
This development raises pressing questions: Will the Biden administration and world leaders finally confront the regime’s nuclear ambitions with meaningful action? Will the international community allow Tehran to blackmail its way to nuclear legitimacy? The NCRI is prepared to provide exclusive insights into the regime’s true intentions and the dire consequences if the world fails to act.
FREE IRAN RALLY: THOUSANDS TO DEMAND CHANGE IN PARIS
The threat of a nuclear-armed Iran is not just a concern for global leaders—it is a nightmare for the millions of Iranians living under the brutal rule of the mullahs. That is why thousands of Iranians, democracy advocates, and political leaders from across the globe will gather in Paris on February 8 for the Free Iran Rally.
Organized by Iranian opposition groups, including the NCRI, the event will shine a global spotlight on Iran’s egregious human rights violations, its oppression of women and minorities, and its relentless execution of political dissidents. The rally will also issue a clarion call for regime change and an end to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
For decades, the NCRI has been at the forefront of exposing Iran’s secret nuclear activities, including its covert warhead development program and hidden missile sites. In October 2024, the NCRI’s intelligence network revealed that Iran was constructing North Korean-designed nuclear-capable missiles, further confirming the regime’s determination to arm itself with weapons of mass destruction.
This rally is more than just a protest—it is a global wake-up call. The Iranian people are rejecting the dictatorship of the mullahs, and they are demanding a free, democratic Iran. The world must not turn a blind eye to their struggle.
WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
With Israel and the U.S. weighing potential military responses to Iran’s nuclear escalation, the world stands at a critical crossroads. The NCRI has long argued that the only sustainable solution to Iran’s nuclear threat is to dismantle the regime itself. History has shown that Tehran cannot be trusted to uphold international agreements, and diplomacy alone will not deter its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
The NCRI believes that:
- The Iranian people, not the mullahs, should determine their nation’s future.
- A free, democratic Iran is the only way to permanently neutralize the regime’s nuclear and terrorist threats.
- The international community must take concrete action to support Iran’s democratic opposition and prevent the regime from reaching nuclear capability.
CALL TO ACTION
The NCRI is available for interviews with media outlets to discuss the latest intelligence on Iran’s nuclear program, the upcoming Paris rally, and what global leaders must do to support the Iranian people’s fight for freedom.
NCR urges journalists, political analysts, and policymakers to cover the February 8 rally and give voice to those who have suffered under Iran’s tyranny.

The time to act is now. The world cannot afford to wait until Tehran brandishes a nuclear weapon. The Iranian people are ready for change—will the international community stand with them?
