Alireza Jafarzadeh: The Velayat-e Faqih Regime is at its Weakest Historical Stage; the Organized Resistance and the Iranian People Will Deliver the Final Blow

Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the Washington Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), stated that the Velayat-e Faqih regime is currently experiencing its weakest historical stage ever. He emphasized that the final and knockout blow to this dictatorial regime will not come from abroad but will spring from the will of the Iranian people and the organized resistance that is preparing to topple the Mullahs' rule.

Jafarzadeh said: "The Iranian regime’s presence at the negotiation table today stems from a position of humiliation and total military collapse. The regime has lost all its strategic cards following the destruction of its naval and air forces, and the severe reduction of its missile arsenal and drone factories. Furthermore, the loss of its regional influence with the fall of its greatest ally, Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and the destruction of its proxy militias, has made this regime significantly weaker than at any time in the past."

He added: "Despite the regime's desperate attempts to project an illusion of victory through media smoke screens, the reality on the ground confirms the shattering of its war machine. The greatest obsession haunting the regime is not external strikes, but the existential terror of a major popular uprising. The regime's resort to a frantic campaign of executions against political prisoners, including the execution of six members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) on charges of arming the youth, is nothing but evidence of its panic over the role of the Resistance Units in leading democratic change."

Jafarzadeh continued, explaining the strength of the organized resistance: "The internal equation has fundamentally changed. Just days before the outbreak of the current external war, PMOI fighters carried out a major qualitative operation targeting the main headquarters of the executioner Khamenei. This operation, involving 250 fighters, inflicted heavy losses on the regime’s guards. This heroic operation not only exposed the fragility of the authorities but proved that the resistance is capable of striking the head of the regime in its own stronghold, which paved the way for the current reality where the era of the tyrant Khamenei has ended."

He explained: "The thousands of protesters who gathered in Paris on April 11, whose voices were echoed by the newspaper 'Le Figaro,' sent a decisive message to the international community regarding the necessity of holding the Mullahs' regime accountable for its crimes against humanity and conditioning any international dealings on the cessation of executions. The world today clearly sees that the democratic alternative represented by the NCRI, led by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, is the only force capable of leading the transitional phase through the Provisional Government and transferring sovereignty to the Iranian people."

Jafarzadeh emphasized: "The slogans of the January protests that spanned all 31 provinces of Iran, such as 'Death to the dictator' and 'Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the Mullah,' prove that the Iranian people have finalized their choice to reject all forms of dictatorship. This regime's problem has never been with the outside world, but with a people who today possess the full will and organizational capacity through the Resistance Units to bring about radical change."

Jafarzadeh concluded his statement by saying: "The Velayat-e Faqih regime has reached its inevitable end. The executioner Khamenei is gone, leaving behind a militarily and politically collapsed regime. We are now in the stage of preparing for the final collapse, and the Iranian Resistance is fully prepared, based on the 10-point plan, to establish a democratic and pluralistic republic that guarantees freedom and justice for all members of the Iranian people."
