29 U.S. Figures Back NCRI Provisional Government and Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for Iran

In a notable political development reflecting a broader shift among American elites on Iran, 29 U.S. political figures have declared support for the Provisional Government announced by the National Council of Resistance of Iran and for Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan, describing it as a realistic foundation for democratic transition after decades of religious dictatorship. Their position fits into a wider argument now gaining visibility: that Iran’s future should be decided by Iranians themselves and their organized resistance, while rejecting both the current clerical system and any return to monarchical rule.

According to the statement, Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan—presented over the past two decades and backed by a growing range of international supporters—could serve as the basis for drafting a new constitution capable of addressing Iran’s future challenges. The signatories argue that the West should support Iran’s democratic movement and the Iranian people in their struggle to reclaim their country, rather than continue policies of hesitation or accommodation toward a regime they view as fundamentally deceptive and unreformable.

The statement places the Iranian question within a distinctly American historical frame by invoking Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms”: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. In the view of the signatories, the Iranian people have been denied these freedoms for more than seven decades—first under the Shah’s authoritarian system, and then under the clerical establishment that seized the democratic aspirations of 1979 and turned them into another form of repression.

That historical reading leads directly to the statement’s central political conclusion: the time has come not merely to condemn the regime in Tehran, but to back a credible alternative. In this context, the NCRI’s announcement on February 28, 2026 of a Provisional Government is presented as a key step toward transferring sovereignty to the Iranian people and preparing the ground for free elections during a limited transitional period. The NCRI has publicly described that government’s purpose as transferring power to the people rather than retaining it.

The Ten-Point Plan is presented in the statement not simply as an opposition platform, but as a constitutional vision for a future Iran: ending clerical rule, guaranteeing the freedoms recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, separating religion from the state, ensuring equality of rights and opportunity, balancing institutional powers, abolishing repressive religious laws, and establishing a non-nuclear Iran committed to international norms and good relations with its neighbors.

This development also matters because it intersects with House Resolution 166, introduced by Congressman Tom McClintock on February 26, 2025 and referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The resolution’s text supports the Iranian people’s desire for a democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic while condemning the Iranian regime’s terrorism, proxy warfare, and internal repression. According to the statement, the resolution has attracted growing support in the House.

More broadly, the statement suggests that the NCRI and Rajavi’s plan are being viewed by an expanding circle of American political figures not as symbolic opposition, but as an organized transitional framework for post-theocratic Iran. Recent pro-NCRI messaging has repeatedly stressed that the country’s future must be shaped by Iranians and their organized resistance—not by foreign engineering and not by the recycling of dictatorship in any form.

The core message of this new American statement is therefore political as much as moral: after decades of repression, regional destabilization, and failed bets on reform, the issue is no longer whether the regime has changed, but whether the outside world is prepared to recognize and support a structured democratic alternative. In that sense, backing the Provisional Government and Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan is framed not as rhetoric, but as a practical path toward transferring sovereignty to the Iranian people and opening the way for a democratic republic.
