By Chuck Wald We have passed the six-month mark of the war between the United States and the Iranian regime. Whatever Tehran’s rhetoric may suggest, its theocratic dictatorship is weaker today than at any point since its establishment in the aftermath of the 1979 Revolution. As this situation continues to unfold, it is increasingly important for Western governments and the broader international community to consider the policies needed to help bring about change driven not by foreign intervention, but by the Iranian people and their organized resistance. The country’s economy, already suffering from years of decline before the war, is now exhibiting some of its worst indicators in decades, including inflation exceeding 100 percent on key consumer goods. Predictably, these pressures have intensified factional infighting within the regime. The turmoil has been compounded by the loss of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the first day of the war, February 28. Khamenei has be...

The regime is now facing Iran’s restive society, which is committed to overthrowing the dictatorship by any means, after the Iranian regime’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, chose Ebrahim Raisi as the president-elect.
In previous events, the Iranian people have shown their desire for a regime change. Khamenei ordered the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) to slaughter protestors during the most recent rebellion in November 2019. the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), announced in mid-December that the IRGC killed approximately 1,500 protestors.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): the MEK released the names of 28 more martyrs of the uprising, bringing to 504 the number of those killed in 56 cities.
This means that the authorities have killed at least 60 times as many people as the uprising of December 2017-January 2018. Knives, axes, and pellet guns, among other weapons, were used to injure many more people.”
Ebrahim Raisi was one of the major perpetrators of the slaughter of 30,000 political prisoners, largely members, and supporters of the (PMOI / MEK Iran), in the summer of 1988.
“Raisi’s appointment …. is an open and more forceful declaration of war against the people of Iran by the great thief of their sovereignty,” Maryam Rajavi said this in a speech commemorating the 40th anniversary of Iranian regime resistance on June 20.
After the mullahs assumed power in Iran in 1979, Ebrahim Raisi rose through the ranks of the government. He became a judge when he was 19 and played a crucial role in the assassination and oppression of the (PMOI / MEK Iran) and other resistance organizations.
Ms. Agnes Callamard, the Secretary-General of Amnesty International, said that instead of becoming president, Ebrahim Raisi ought to be investigated for crimes against humanity including murder, enforced disappearance, and torture.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): It has taken since 1988 for an organization like Amnesty International to even consider the ‘’ongoing crimes against humanity.’’ This only happened because of the brave activism of MEK members and especially Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
“Iran’s election is a sham. The winner is a puppet of the ayatollahs — and a killer and oppressor,” Nikki Haley, the former US Ambassador to the United Nations, took to Twitter to express her displeasure.
The election of Ebrahim Raisi will deepen domestic tensions and terrorism. Ebrahim Raisi was the head of Astan-e Quds Razavi, an Iranian regime economic powerhouse with billions of dollars in assets used to fund terrorism. Ebrahim Raisi was funding terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hashed al-Shaabi in Iraq.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): Khamenei’s Economic Empire Designated by the U.S. Treasury – Astan Quds Razavi.
In 2019, Raisi expressed his support for terrorism by visiting the family of terrorist Imad Mughniyeh. In the same year, he paid a visit to Iraq’s Hezbollah leader, reiterating his commitment to continue funding the terrorist organization.
Astan Quds Razavi also funds the Ofogh No or “New Horizon” Organization. Monica Witt, a former the United States Air Force intelligence expert, was recruited for espionage by this group.
Raisi, as the head of Astan Quds Razavi, bestowed the Astan Quds’ highest emblem on the regime’s deposed terrorist mastermind Qassem Soleimani.
In an essence, Ebrahim Raisi’s election as the regime’s president will intensify regional terrorism and will result in more tyranny and breaches of human rights in Iran.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Iranian society is in a powder keg state thanks to the regime’s destructive and malign policies.
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...
By Reza Hoseani Is Washington’s economic fury more effective than military warfare? An examination of the United States’ new sanctions targeting the IRGC’s financial lifelines and their impact on Iran’s explosive social environment. Amid the regime’s paralyzing deadlock between war and restraint, Washington has made its choice unmistakably clear: an all-out economic war instead of a large-scale military war. This choice is not the product of moderation. Rather, it reflects an understanding that economic pressure may be more lethal to the regime, less costly for the West, and more socially acceptable to the Iranian people than military intervention. 1. From “Maximum Pressure” to “Economic Fury”: The IRGC’s Lifelines in the Crosshairs In recent months, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has escalated economic pressure through two new initiatives. First came what has been described as Operation Economic Fury, announced by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He stated explicitly ...
