Why a bipartisan majority supports Iranian opposition to regime
MSN, May 18, 2025 by Saeid Sajadi
A bipartisan majority in the U.S. House of Representatives recently supported the 10-point plan of Maryam Rajavi for a free Iran with HR 166, led by Reps. McClintock, R-California, and Brad Sherman, D-California.
The resolution acknowledges the legitimacy of the rebellious youths — led by MEK, i.e., the main democratic opposition — confronting the repressive forces of IRGC inside Iran. The support for the resolution transcends party lines and ideological leanings.From Kansas, conservative Republican Rep. Derek Schmidt and Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids are among the co-sponsors.
It is evident that the legislators have closely monitored Iran’s scene and they respond with laser precision to the dynamics of the forces on the ground in Iran — the goal being a free Iran. A viable change, however, has to come from the Iranian society. The wave of major uprisings since 2017 — the last being in September of 2022 — indicates that the Iranian people won’t settle for anything but a regime change by the people. They are ready to pay the price it takes to free Iran.
Toppling the most active regime sponsor of terrorism is not a cakewalk. It requires a vast network of resistance units to pave the way for the uprisings and to defend the people against the repressive forces. The strategy needs to be rooted in reality and confront the repressive apparatus of the regime so that the people can take the ownership of streets. However, the change would be possible if led by a battle-tested political alternative, competent leadership and thousands of devoted 24×7 members inside and outside Iran.
The above alternative is in existence and led by Maryam Rajavi. Her political platform stands for complete gender equality, freedom of expression and assembly, separation of religion and state, secular democracy, and a non-nuclear Iran.
