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 ...

For more information on the floods in Iran and its implications, I suggest you a glimpse into a good article from Shahriar Kia.
By Shahriar Kia
Reports from inside Iran indicate that flooding has occurred in almost all areas of Iran. So far, it seems that only one of Iran’s 31 provinces has been spared the effects of major flooding.
The number of casualties is high, with more than 120 dead in the city of Shiraz alone. Reports show that the conditions are horrific, with countless people suffering from a lack of clean water, no electricity and completely uninhabitable residential units.
In the southwestern part of the country, water levels are rising at an alarming speed. In the northwestern parts of the country there have been severe flash floods.
In Tehran, the country’s capital city, the water levels are rising and the weather organisation has warned that it will most likely be hit by flooding. Already it seems that the water levels are rising and the situation is getting worse by the hour.
Roadways across the whole of the country are being cut off by floodwater and villages are being further isolated. People are losing their homes, while others are losing their livelihoods. Some are losing both.
The most concerning part about this story is that the people are being left to their own devices and are not being supported by the authorities. The situation is at crisis level, yet there is no help to be found. People in the town of Khorramshahr in the southwestern part of the country have been seen trying to prevent floodwaters from invading their homes – but they are using the most basic of tools.
The people of Iran have been holding mass protests and anti-government demonstrations since the end of 2017. It is for reasons like the current flooding disaster that the people have been continually protesting. The regime’s widespread corruption and neglect of environmental issues has provoked problems like this flooding.
At the minute, while they are struggling to survive, the people have made their anger known. They are devastated and extremely angry because their government has let the country’s infrastructure fall into collapse. They are enraged that instead of trying to help the people, the notorious Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in the streets with other suppressive forces trying to prevent further unrest.
An IRGC General has claimed that security is of upmost importance at this time and has tried to justify the establishment of checkpoints. The authorities are also trying to downplay the seriousness of the situation and are underestimating, or hiding the reality, about the number of people that have died as a result of the flooding.
Authorities have claimed that 19 people have died but the real figure is much larger and is continually rising.
It is time, once and for all, for this despicable regime to collapse. The people of Iran are more disadvantaged than most countries in the world in situations like this because the regime cannot manage to prevent or control such incidents. The people should be given the resources that are needed but once again they are neglected and supressed.

At the first step, you should be the center of this cruelty and the godfather of crime and murder, terrorism and fundamentalism that nobody is part of Iran's terrorist government. The fact is that the killing and execution of political and conscientious prisoners in public or in prisons is secretly in its astronomical dimensions on the coin of killing innocent people abroad by this regime. The issuance of terrorism and the support of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in this regime is institutionalized and is part of the constitution. The crimes committed by perpetrators and groups affiliated with this corrupt and expansionist state in Syria and Lebanon and Iraq ...
The Strategic Defeat in Syria and Lebanon Is a Clear Reflection of the Clerical Regime’s Weakness and Instability The Next Dictatorship to Be Overthrown is the Mullahs’ Regime We are happy that PMOI members at Ashraf 3 are joining us today in this conference. We welcome them. Mr. Secretary, Welcome to the Home of the Iranian Resistance. We are delighted to host you in the early days of the New Year. I hope this year will be a successful year for the people of the United States and a year of freedom, peace and prosperity for our people and the entire Middle East. The Regime’s Setbacks in 2024 2024 was a year full of serious defeats for the regime. We saw widespread boycotts of two sham elections, increased resistance in prisons, more young people joining Resistance Units, and the expansion of their activities. The regime also confronted a broken economy, 40% inflation, widespread poverty and massive financial corruption, especially among officials and IRGC commanders and growing d...
By Mostafa Aslani On July 24, 2024, German authorities executed a series of coordinated raids targeting the Islamic Centre Hamburg (IZH) and its affiliated organizations, exposing the Iranian regime’s extensive influence and efforts to propagate its fundamentalist ideology in Europe. The operation, which spanned eight federal states and involved the search of 53 properties, marked a significant crackdown on institutions linked to Iran’s government and Hezbollah. The Raids and Immediate Actions At dawn, heavily armed police units stormed the Imam Ali Mosque, also known as the Blue Mosque, in Hamburg. This mosque, operated by the IZH, has long been under surveillance for its extremist activities and connections to Iran. Simultaneously, raids were conducted in Berlin’s Tempelhof district and other locations across Bavaria, Bremen, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, and North Rhine-Westphalia. In Hamburg alone, 30 properties were searched. The police used...
