  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.

We are now witnessing such circumstances and it seems the dollar has no intention of stopping its fast sprint, especially considering the fact that the most ruthless sanctions against the Iranian regime will begin taking effect on August 6th.
Where, or even if, this trend will stop is anyone’s guess. Certain is the reality that the mullahs’ economy is crumbling and this phenomenon has the potential of paving the path for huge protests and uprisings across the country.
