By Struan Stevenson Conflagration engulfs the Middle East, with the Israel-Hamas war having gone on for more than a year now, and many Israeli hostages are still being held in deplorable conditions by Hamas terrorists. In Northern Israel, constant missile and rocket attacks by Hezbollah led to the mass evacuation of more than 70,000 Israelis from their homes in 2024 and to the inevitable military retaliation by the Israel Defense Forces, as they crossed the border into Southern Lebanon. Israeli missiles are raining down on key Hezbollah targets in Beirut. The assassination of Hezbollah’s terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, a seismic event, shattered his close friend and ally Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader and Hezbollah’s main sponsor. Nasrallah’s successor, Hashem Saffieddine, was also killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut within hours of being nominated for the Hezbollah leadership role and before the funeral of his predecessor had even taken place.

Distinguished politicians and national security experts from both sides of the Atlantic are converging at a significant conference in Paris on June 30. The event centers around the pressing issue of the popular uprising in Iran and the need for an alternative and effective Western policy vis-à-vis the regime.
Set against a backdrop of nationwide uprisings that have disrupted the power dynamics between the Iranian people and the state, these demonstrations have provided valuable insights into the aspirations of the majority of Iranians. Consequently, the international community now has a better understanding of their desires. However, in response to this perceived threat to its survival, the clerical regime has embarked on a complex and multifaceted disinformation campaign. This campaign aims to create the illusion of successfully crushing dissent both domestically and abroad.
The conference consists of four distinct panels, each shedding light on different aspects of the truth surrounding the clerical regime, its alternative, and the necessary approach for the free world. The panel titled “Disinformation and Its Impact on Western Policy on Iran” features esteemed participants such as former FBI director Louie Freeh, former leader of the Canadian Conservative Party Candice Bergen, former US Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Amb. Lincoln Bloomfield Jr., British MP Steve McCabe, and former MEP Struan Stevenson.
In another panel, notable figures including US Senators Joseph Lieberman and Robert Torricelli, former Canadian Minister Tony Clement, former US Vice President’s Chief of Staff Marc Short, and former White House Director for Public Liaison Linda Chavez will discuss the topic of “The Alternative.” They will explore the necessary qualities and strategies for a viable option that can effectively address the situation in Iran.
Additionally, former US Attorney General Judge Michael Mukasey, former U.S. Policy Planning Director Amb. Mitchell Reiss, former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Amb. Robert Joseph, and former Deputy US European Command Gen. Chuck Wald will come together to discuss “The Right US Policy on Iran.”
The conference also dedicates a panel to examining European policy on the same topic. Renowned figures including former German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier, former Finnish Minister Kimmo Sasi, MP and former Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Audronius Ažubalis, British MP Bob Blackman, and former Vice President of the European Parliament Dr. Alejo Vidal Quadras will share their perspectives and insights.
This conference serves as a platform for in-depth discussions, allowing experts to analyze and address the multifaceted issues surrounding the Iranian regime and its alternative. By exploring various policy approaches and understanding the impact of disinformation, the conference aims to foster informed decision-making and effective strategies in dealing with Iran.
On the opening day of the Iranian Resistance’s 2023 gatherings, Former MEP Struan Stevenson discusses a Tehran’s demonization campaign against the NCRI, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, and the MEK.
Former MEP Struan Stevenson
I’ve written quite a few books and my most recent one was entitled “Dictatorship and Revolution; a contemporary history of Iran” and one of the chapters, I entitled “the demonization of the Opposition.” Having supported the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) for the past two decades, I’ve come across that on many occasions and many people in this room and many people in this panel have had similar experiences.
This kind of demonization has been going on for years. When we finally managed to rescue 3,000 refugees from Iraq where there were under constant attack and being regularly killed by missile attacks and bomb attacks and we got them over to Albania, the regime’s embassy in Tirana, which was a very small affair with an ambassador and a couple of diplomats suddenly found great new interests in Albania and suddenly there were 25 new diplomats, most of them agents from the ministry of intelligence.
We should be aware that this demonization campaign is based on [nonsense]. But because all of us have been affected by it, we should ignore it. This is not worth the paper it’s written on. It is typical of the propaganda that emanates from this regime.
But I can tell you, last week, we published the fact that 117 ex-world leaders have signed a statement backing the right of the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow their tyrannical regime and backing the NCRI, backing the MEK and Mrs. Mariam Rajavi, the charismatic leader [of the NCRI].
So, forget the demonization; ladies and gentlemen. We are going to win. We’re going to make Iran free again. And the MEK and Mrs. Rajavi and the NCRI are at the forefront of this campaign. Thank you.
Written by Mahmoud Hakamian Two-minute read On Sunday morning, April 14, the Iranian regime launched an unprecedented attack against Israel, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Despite military experts’ assessments that the attack failed, it underscores Iran’s role as a focal point of regional conflict. The October 7th attack sent shockwaves globally. Despite ample evidence implicating the Iranian regime, Western governments dismissed Tehran’s involvement, adhering to a flawed appeasement policy toward the primary state sponsor of terrorism. They disregarded explicit statements from Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) commanders boasting about their direct role in the attack. For decades, the Iranian Resistance has urged the international community to adopt a resolute stance against the Iranian regime’s aggression and terrorism. Despite persistent calls, the failed appeasement policy of the West allowed Tehran to escalate its belligerent activities, including ...
By DR. MAJID RAFIZADEH President Donald Trump will make a decision on whether the US will leave or stick with the Iran nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, by May 12. It has been almost three years since the nuclear accord was reached between the Islamic Republic and the UN Security Council’s five permanent members — Russia, the UK, China, France, and the US — plus Germany (the P5+1). Since the JCPOA’s implementation day on Jan. 16, 2016, the Iranian regime has been receiving various benefits that can be divided into four categories. Based on the terms of the JCPOA, four rounds of the United Nations Security Council’s economic sanctions against Tehran were lifted immediately. The regime also received unilateral sanctions relief from individual countries in exchange for halting its nuclear activities and dismantling some sections of its nuclear program. For instanc...

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 ...
