After Decades in Power, Tyrannical Ayatollah and Mullahs Running out of Gas and Time
The world is watching a regime unravel. What began with targeted strikes and foreign pressure has now exploded into open internal crisis in Tehran. But as Maryam Rajavi—the NCRI’s presidential candidate—made clear in her latest address: the solution does not lie with Western boots on the ground, nor in endless negotiations. It lies with the Iranian people and the organized resistance that has never stopped fighting for their freedom.
NCRI Deputy Director Alireza Jafarzadeh, NCRI member Shahin Gobadi, Ambassador Robert Torricelli, and Dr. Ivan “Sascha” Sheehan are available now to explain what’s really happening in Iran and why this moment must not be hijacked by foreign powers, manipulated by global appeasers, or wasted by indecision. These voices represent decades of insider understanding, firsthand intelligence, and political credibility across party lines.
The clerical regime is visibly collapsing under the weight of 44 years of terror, repression, and corruption. Rajavi made it clear: this war began long before the first missile launches on June 13—it began in the streets, in the prisons, in the hearts of a people who never surrendered.
Now the world must decide: will it repeat the mistakes of appeasement, or support a legitimate third option—regime change by the Iranian people and the NCRI?
The spokesmen can break down why:
- The NCRI is the only organized, secular, democratic alternative capable of leading Iran post-mullahs
- U.S. military intervention is not necessary—strategic pressure and recognition of the Resistance is
- The real war isn’t just regional—it’s between freedom and religious fascism, and the battlefield is Tehran
- The NCRI exposed Iran’s nuclear weapons program before anyone else—now they are positioned to help dismantle it from within
- The resistance doesn’t want money or arms—it wants recognition and the right to finish what it started
- If the West truly wants peace in the region, it must let Iranians take back Iran. The NCRI is ready. The time is now.
Book them. This is the turning point.
