The workers at Haft-Tapeh, the steel workers, the farmers of Varzaneh, the youth in Kazerun, the truck drivers and owners all across the country, the Bazaaris, the youth in Lalehzar, Ferdowsi, Shoush, Mellat and Ekbatan in Tehran, exhibited enormous courage in confronting the ruthless security forces. This is the Iranian nation\u2019s fight. The regime\u2019s overthrow is inevitable. Victory is certain and Iran will be free. The prospects of an Iran devoid of the mullahs and the Shah are looming. The so-called solution within the religious fascism has become null and void. The rebellious population and youth have ended the era of posturing for both factions of the regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; leaf_row_scheme=&#8221;0&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1615841034285{background-image: url(https:\/\/oiac.org\/annual-free-iran-2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/flag.jpg?id=4385) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Solidarity Speeches &amp; Messages<\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Sen.
