 In a message to the Berlin rally, Iranian opposition President @Maryam_Rajavi calls on the international community, especially Europe, to put aside its appeasement policy vis-à-vis #Iran’s regime.
3)
 As long as Europe continues to appease #Iran’s regime, Tehran will escalate its malign measures in the Green Continent.
4)
 The Iranian people call on the international community, especially Europe, for a firm stance.

This will significantly weaken the mullahs, making regime change by the Iranian people all the more possible.

THREAD

1)
 Let’s talk about @CNN’s latest attempt to portray a dove image of #Iran’s mullahs & the terrorist-designated IRGC by giving a platform to known Tehran apologist/lobbyist @nargesbajoghli.

To be fair, here's the entire interview:
2)
 A few talking points used by Bajoghli:
-Most Iranians today do not remember the 1979 revolution & the Iran-Iraq War (meaning we should forgo all of the mullahs/IRGC crimes during that horrific period).
-The regime/IRGC are rebranding to nationalist viewpoints.
3)
 Bajoghli claims the IRGC “is moving away from some of the founding stories of the Islamic Republic…”

Reminder - Iran armed forces chief of staff:
UK's seizure of Iran's oil tanker "will not go unanswered. If necessary, it will be responded in an appropriate time & place."

SHORT THREAD

1)
 20 years ago today, on July 9th, 1999, tens of thousands of students rallied across Iran, rocking the very pillars of the mullahs’ regime.
#IranRegimeChange
2)
 Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, then Secretary of the High National Security Council, directed & supported the severe crackdown.
(Farsi video)

He literally says authorities were prepared to "butcher" the protesters.

Some in the West still describe Rouhani as a “moderate.”
3)
 The “moderate” Rouhani had described the protesting students as “enemies of the state.”

(Note: I don’t agree with all issues raised in this piece.)

Conference at Ashraf3: “Mullahs’ regime, source of war and instability in the region, #Iran ian Resistance messenger of peace and freedom”

maryam-rajavi.com/en/item/maryam…
The presence of dear friends and supporters at the home of the Iranian Resistance, more than anything else, sends a message of solidarity to the people of Iran who are fed up with the ruling theocracy, and are poised to topple it.
#Iran
#FreeIran
The mullahs’ intransigent posture in international relations is just a hollow show of force. It would be an absolute mistake to think that the regime is engaging in such antics from a position of strength, as its lobbyists claim.

NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi on the Roadmap to Freedom, 2018 Iran Uprising Summit, September 22:
1- “I want to stress the path we have chosen and the horizon ahead of us as we strive to reach the Iranian people's grand destination.”

2- “We seek popular sovereignty. We are fighting for the establishment of a republic based on the vote of the people. We consider the people's free vote to be the sole criterion of legitimacy for national officials.”

3-“We stress human rights in accordance w/ the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, & in accordance w/ conventions adopted by the United Nations. The mullahs' sharia edicts, which make up the legal precedent of the regime's punitive laws, will have no place in tomorrow's Iran.”
