The Mullahs' Regime Is in Its Final Historical Deadlock; No Return to the Pre-Uprising Era and No Horizon for Survival

Mousa Afshar, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), stated that the mullahs' regime is navigating its most perilous existential phase. He noted that the regime's crises have evolved from mere political and economic complications into a comprehensive historical deadlock. Afshar emphasized that the regime is now incapable of restoring the balance it lost following the major popular uprisings, while simultaneously lacking any strategy to ensure its continued survival in this new reality.

Afshar said: "The essence of the current equation lies in the reality declared by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: the mullahs' regime has fallen into a strategic trap. It is neither able to return to the status quo before the January uprising and its subsequent massacres, nor does it have a path forward—especially following the death of Ali Khamenei and the disintegration of his pillars of power under the weight of the ongoing external war, which has decimated the regime's military machine."

He added: "The ruling authority's resort to escalating political executions is a clear indicator of the mullahs' terror regarding a society simmering beneath the surface of repression. To stifle the imminent explosion of public rage, the regime recently sent eight members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) to the gallows, including Vahid Bani Amerian and Abolhassan Montazer. This 'strategy of the nose' is a futile attempt to intimidate a population that no longer fears the crumbling state."

Afshar further explained: "While the regime is preoccupied with trying to install Mojtaba Khamenei as the new Supreme Leader in a system that has essentially devolved into a clerical monarchy, the 'Resistance Units' continue their strategic and organized role. They are focused on intelligence gathering and executing precision operations aimed at paralyzing the apparatus of repression, preparing for the inevitable moment of the regime’s collapse accelerated by the consequences of the external war and the total erosion of domestic legitimacy."

The Foreign Affairs Committee member clarified: "The struggle of Iranians today transcends a mere fight for power; it is about the very nature of the future state. This is where the strength of the democratic alternative proposed by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi—the 10-Point Plan—comes from. It establishes a democratic republic based on the separation of religion and state and social justice, and it has already paved the way for the formation of the Provisional Government to transition sovereignty to the people."

Afshar emphasized: "The Iranian Resistance remains firm in its strategic principle of 'No to the Shah, no to the Mullah.' The Iranian people reject a return to any form of inherited or religious tyranny. Our slogans in the field have been clear: the future will belong neither to the mantle of the Velayat-e Faqih nor to the symbols of the defunct Shah’s dictatorship."

Afshar concluded his statement by saying: "Our message to the international community is the necessity of recognizing the right of the Iranian people and their 'Resistance Units' to overthrow this regime, which has reached its historical end. Real change in Iran will be achieved through organized uprising and continuous resistance to build a state committed to the ballot box, political pluralism, and peaceful coexistence with its neighbors and the world."
