In this congregation, which the media reported over 100,000 people participated, Iranian opposition President\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/about\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u00a0hailed the protesters inside Iran and expressed her gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first thing that must be said this year is that flames of the auspicious and liberating uprising are again rising in Tehran and across Iran,\u201d Mrs. Rajavi said in her speech\u2026<\/p>\n<p>One of the main signals of this regime being in its overthrowing period is the international situation besieging the mullahs. They have lost their most important international policy supporter, being the former U.S. administration\u2019s appeasement policy.<\/p>\n<p>The international shield protecting this regime has fallen and the nuclear agreement known as the JCPOA has come to an end, now becoming nothing but a lifeless body.<\/p>\n<p>An avalanche of sanctions is engulfing the entire mullahs\u2019 regime and as a result their warmongering and regional adventurism is dwelling. The Iranian Resistance has for more than three decades called for these sanctions against the mullahs\u2019 regime\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Another very important signal of this overthrow period \u2013 deliberately cloaked and not mentioned by the mullahs\u2019 regime \u2013 can be seen in a link establishing between Iran\u2019s protesters inside the country and the organized opposition (stationed abroad). All the regime\u2019s officials have time and again acknowledged this reality.<\/p>\n<p>Khamenei himself has in his speeches mentioned this issue and claimed he is citing credible intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe [<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>] have plotted and worked on their plan regarding domestic protests and taking advantage of protesting people\u2019s demands,\u201d Khamenei said in a speech.<\/p>\n<p>Finalizing her remarks, Mrs. Rajavi said this regime\u2019s overthrow is near. To those suddenly mushrooming and claiming to be this regime\u2019s opposition, she said if anyone believes this regime can be overthrown without an organization and without a pioneering organization, and without passing numerous tests through the years and without paying the price, without sacrifice, we say: Please go ahead. Don\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n<p>However, the harsh reality is that overthrowing this regime needs an organization and a strong political alternative. We are not anyone\u2019s rival to obtain power, Rajavi added.<\/p>\n<p>Based on a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/viewpoints\/tomorrow-s-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan<\/a>\u00a0adopted by the Iranian opposition coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (<a href=\"http:\/\/ncr-iran.org\/en\/about\/our-resistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI<\/a>), a transitional government will be established for a period of six months following this regime\u2019s overthrow. This transitional government will be tasked to launch the parliament through free and fair elections.<\/p>\n<p>This parliament must comprise the new constitution within two years and place it before the people\u2019s vote. Furthermore, this body must establish the new republic\u2019s fundamental entities based on the people\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian Resistance has said time and again that overthrowing this regime and democratic regime change in Iran, and launching a free Iran, are the responsibility of none other than this Resistance and the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p>Truly the sunlight of change is shining in Iran and regime change is at hand more than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>(Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/congress-acknowledges-iran-mullahs-opposition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>On Saturday, June 30, the Iranian Resistance held its massive gathering in Villpeinte, just outside of Paris.
