Maryam Rajavi: People’s uprising shall not end, internal crisis and schism has deepened making regime's downfall inevitable
NCRI – Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, described today's remarks by the regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, before a group of the senior officials, as a sign of deepening schism and crisis within the regime. Khamenei's remarks demonstrate that the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people has shaken the clerical regime to its foundations, Mrs. Rajavi said.
Speaking on the occasion when Muhammad became Prophet of Islam, Khamenei warned of the regime’s downfall. Poignantly addressing [former President Akbar] Hashemi Rafsanjani, he said, “In the view of Iranian people, anyone in any position attempting to push the country toward insecurity, would be hated.” He added, “There are certain things that should have been said. If we did not say them, then we have acted irresponsibly. There are certain things that should not be said and if we uttered them, it would have been irresponsible as well. The elite are now taking a test. This is a major test. Failing in this test does not push us back only a year. It amounts to total collapse…”
Mrs. Rajavi emphasized that Khamenei was trying in vain to save the despicable clerical regime from its inevitable downfall. There is no cure for the factional feuding within the religious dictatorship, nor is there any end to the people’s rage and hatred toward the criminal regime and nor is the uprising going to stop.
