Maryam Rajavi lauds protestors in Iran, adding the regime’s days are numbered

NCRI – Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, congratulated the Iranian people for the triumph of their spirited resolve over the clerical regime’s suppressive preparations and on the occasion of today’s uprising, adding: This glorious resolve for victory will lead to the realization of freedom and democracy in Iran.

She lauded the courageous Iranian women, men and youths who have taken to the streets and rattled the foundations of the clerical regime with their chants of “Down with dictator” and “down with Khamenei.” She said: Today, you managed to liberate the occasion of the anniversary of the anti-monarchical revolution from the clutches of the clerical regime, and you will undoubtedly liberate Iran from their occupation as well. The uprising has rang the death knell for the religious fascism ruling Iran and shows that the days of the regime are numbered.

Mrs. Rajavi added that the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people sends a clear and blatant message to the international community, and especially the European Union and the United States, that the regime is condemned to fall and any economic or political investments on it would be doomed to fail. Economic and diplomatic ties with the clerical regime, which up until now have only served the preservation of the regime and acted against the Iranian people, must end.
