Fox News | Emma Bussey | 3/ 25/2026 A bipartisan group of former senior U.S. officials — including former military leaders, diplomats, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — has issued a letter backing regime change in Iran and endorsing an opposition roadmap for the country’s future. The letter, signed by about 30 key individuals calls on Western governments to support Iran’s democratic opposition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). “With the Tehran regime discredited and weakened, not since 1979 have the Iranian people been in such a position of strength to take it back,” the letter states. “Democracy should…
Real Clear Defense | By Charles Wald | March 23, 2026 Just a few months after leaving office, President Theodore Roosevelt, in his famous speech in Paris on April 23, 1910, titled Citizenship in a Republic, famously said that “the man in the arena” is the one who counts. This ageless quote can serve as a good guide for the United States in deciding who to count on when figuring out the future of Iran. Operation Epic Fury was the right call. The Supreme Leader is dead. His defense minister, IRGC commander, and senior intelligence chiefs are confirmed killed. For forty-seven…
Written by Shamsi Saadati 20th March 2026 A group of former heads of government, ministers, lawmakers, judges, diplomats and public figures has issued a statement backing the Iranian people’s push for a democratic republic and endorsing the National Council of Resistance of Iran’s proposed provisional government under Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan. The statement, titled Iran Stands at a Historic Crossroads, argues that Iran’s political future should be decided only by Iranians and their organized resistance, and rejects both the current clerical system and any return to monarchical rule. The text describes the removal of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as a major…
The young Iranians do not believe in a reform of the existing system. In a guest article, Maryam Rajavi, one of the leading politicians of the Iranian opposition, describes how a transition to democracy could succeed. What is currently unfolding in Iran is neither a repetition of previous uprisings nor an emotional reaction to a temporary crisis. This movement marks an advanced and mature phase in the people’s struggle against the regime – a process that began years ago and has now reached a point of no return. Until recently, the key assumptions of the global powers were that the…
NCRI | by Shahriar Kia | 29th January 2026 On 29 January 2026, the European Union officially designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, following a unanimous decision by all 27 EU member states at the Foreign Affairs Council. The designation places the IRGC on the EU’s terrorist list alongside entities such as ISIL/Da’esh and Al-Qaida—an unmistakable signal that Europe is treating the Guard not as a conventional state institution, but as a transnational engine of repression and terror. This designation carries practical consequences. It triggers asset freezes, travel restrictions on IRGC members, and a ban…
Nationwide strikes shut down major commercial hubs, including Grand Bazaar as unrest spreads to Mashhad Fox News | By Greg Wehner | December 29, 2025 Protests escalated across Iran on Monday as demonstrators confronted security forces in Tehran and Mashhad, with authorities deploying tear gas amid strikes and street clashes, according to reports. An Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, reported that a large crowd of demonstrators marched along Jomhouri (Republic) Street before moving into nearby areas, including Naser Khosrow Street and Istanbul Square in Tehran. Central parts of Tehran turned into flashpoints as protesters and regime…
29 September 2025 GENEVA – Over 1000 people have been killed in less than nine months of 2025, UN experts said today, warning that the figures represented a dramatic escalation that violates international human rights law. “The sheer scale of executions in Iran is staggering and represents a grave violation of the right to life,” the experts said. “With an average of more than nine hangings per day in recent weeks, Iran appears to be conducting executions at an industrial scale that defies all accepted standards of human rights protection.” At least 1,000 executions have been documented since 1 January 2025…
Miami Independent | Dr. Majid Rafizadeh | Aug. 20, 2022 On August 1, 2025, Reza Pahlavi unveiled what he describes as a roadmap for Iran’s future — a document allegedly crafted by experts under his supervision and disseminated through NUFDI, his promotional apparatus. Marketed as a post-regime transition plan, it reads less like a democratic blueprint and more like a manual for consolidating unchecked power in the hands of a single unelected figure. At the heart of the proposal lies an 18-to-36-month “Transitional Period,” which can be extended indefinitely. During this time, all branches of state authority would report to…
Free Iran Scholar Network | Shirin Nariman | Aug. 22, 2025 Shirin Nariman is a former political prisoner in Iran during the 1980s. As a former political prisoner in Iran, I witnessed horrors that remain etched into my memory, nightly executions, the shouts of tortured inmates, and the constant fear that any moment could be your last. I survived the blood-soaked decade of the 1980s, only to later learn that during the summer of 1988, thousands of my fellow political prisoners including members of my own family and closest friends were systematically murdered in one of the darkest crimes of…
Dr. Ramesh Sepehrrad | Defense Opinion | July 8, 2025 With a fragile ceasefire now holding between Iran and Israel following the June 2025 escalation, headlines have temporarily shifted away from the regional tension. Yet the most consequential struggle involving the Islamic Republic is not in the skies over the Middle East but in the streets of Iran itself and the Iranian people’s fight for liberty. Since August 2024, Iran’s regime has executed more than 1,350 people-many of them women, youths, and ethnic minorities, according to Amnesty International. Repression is not a glitch in the system; it is the system. The regime has arrested more than 700…
