by: Struan Stevenson There is something faintly absurd about three countries forming a military alliance to defend themselves against aggression, then rushing to the capital of the country they suspect of encouraging that aggression, pleading for peace. Yet this was the spectacle in Tehran on 26 October, when senior representatives of Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Pakistan arrived for talks with the Iranian regime. Tehran hailed the meeting as a success. Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, spoke enthusiastically about a positive new atmosphere. The four countries agreed to continue talking. That was about it. No binding agreement to halt Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. No enforceable guarantees. No evidence of any miraculous conversion to peaceful coexistence. The mullahs must have been delighted. During my 15 years in the European Parliament, including five years as president of its Delegation for Relations with Iraq, I became thoroughly familiar with Tehran’s methods of extending...

Maryam Rajavi met with a high-ranking delegation from the European Parliament in Tirana. They talked about the situation of members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Albania as well as the latest developments in Iran.
The EP delegation included Messrs. Tunne Kelam, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and Vice Chairman of the Friends of a Free Iran inter-parliamentary group in the European Parliament, Jaromir Stetina, Vice Chairman of the EP Subcommittee on Security and Defense and member of the Foreign Affairs Committee; and Struan Stevenson, Coordinator of the Campaign for Iran Change, former member of the European Parliament, and former President of the European Parliament's Delegation for Relations with Iraq (2009-2014).
Noting the joint statement of 150 members of the European Parliament which condemns violations of human rights in Iran and its terrorist plots in Europe, the EP delegation declared their support for the People’s Mojahedin Organization.
The signatories of the statement belong to six main political groups of the European Parliament that represent 27 member states of the European Union. They include four former Vice-Presidents of the European Parliament and 14 Chairs of European committees and delegations. The signatories of the statement have expressed their concern over deterioration of the human rights situation in Iran and repression of women. The MEPs pointed out that Iran “has maintained the highest number of executions in the world per capita during the presidency of the so-called ‘moderate’ Hassan Rouhani.”
Maryam Rajavi expressed her appreciation for the MEPs’ decisive positions on the Iranian regime and their support for the Iranian Resistance. Maryam Rajavi reiterated the need to impose comprehensive sanctions against the Iranian regime’s banking system and shipment of oil, and expel the Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxy militias from Syria, Iraq and other countries in the region. She also urged the adoption of immediate measures to hold the regime accountable for its widespread political executions in Iran, particularly the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988. Maryam Rajavi further called for an investigative committee launched to examine this great crime against humanity and bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice. https://www.maryam-rajavi.com/en/item/european-parliament-delegation-meets-pmoi-leader-in-tirana
Written by Shamsi Saadati Paris, France – On Saturday, May 17, 2025, an influential international conference convened in Paris, uniting parliamentarians and prominent political figures from a wide array of countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Malta, Switzerland, Romania, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The central theme of the gathering was the urgent need for a new, decisive international policy towards Iran, with a strong emphasis on supporting democratic change and recognizing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a viable alternative to the current regime. The event served as a significant platform for global lawmakers to voice their concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, the regime’s escalating domestic repression, its destabilizing regional activities, and its persistent pursuit of a nuclear program. A recurring call throughout the conference was for Western governments to adopt a firmer stance, including the ...
By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself. War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...
Author:Zolal Habibi March 7, 2021— A global online conference held on Monday, March 8, marking International Women’s Day co-hosted by the Women’s Committee of the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), The International Committee for a Democratic Iran, and the British Committee for Iran Freedom discussed the plight of Iranian women in their struggle for freedom and equal rights. The event featured speeches by politicians, women’s rights activists, and members of the Iranian opposition. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the NCRI and the keynote speaker of the event. “The outcome of the significant gender gap in Iran is the imposition of extreme poverty on women and the denial of many of their most basic rights,” Madam Rajavi said. “The misogynous regime wants to preserve its rule through repression. However, Iranian women play critical roles in challenging the regime and pushing the situation towards overthrowing the mullahs.” Madam ...
