Future Iran

Iran’s Past Century & the Plan for its Future

Iran’s Constitutional Revolution:1906-1911 Iran of today is what remains of an ancient civilization dating back  3000-5000 years.  Endowed with such rich history and a tolerant/diverse population, the country has navigated through numerous conflicts and international influences.  All the while, Iranian people have consistently sought out secularism over extremism and democracy over tyranny. Over the past century, Iranian people orchestrated 3 major uprisings: The 1906 Constitutional Movement in which women played a critical role The 1953 uprisings which netted the democratically elected government of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh The 1979 revolution. Execution of Kurdish activists by Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) – August 27, 1979

In the latter two instances at least – for multitude of reasons – the paucity of organized, mature, capable, and mobilized opposition armed with a well articulated platform allowed for manifestation of & usurping of power by despotic governments.  Given Iran’s history and its educated citizenry, demise of the current theocratic regime is only a matter of time.  It is in this context that Organization of Iranian American Communities proudly endorses the platform for Iran of tomorrow offered by madam Maryam Rajavi.  We invite you to join us in promulgating her 10 point plan:

Madam Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for The Future of Iran

  1. In our view, the ballot box is the only criterion for legitimacy. Accordingly, we seek a republic based on universal suffrage.
  2. We want a pluralist system, freedom of parties and assembly. We respect all individual freedoms. We underscore complete freedom of expression and of the media and unconditional access by all to the internet.
  3. We support and are committed to the abolition of death penalty.
  4. We are committed to the separation of Church and State. Any form of discrimination against the followers of any religion and denomination will be prohibited.
  5. We believe in complete gender equality in political, social and economic arenas. We are also committed to equal participation of women in political leadership. Any form of discrimination against women will be abolished. They will enjoy the right to freely choose their clothing. They are free in marriage, divorce, education and employment.
  6. We believe in the rule of law and justice. We want to set up a modern judicial system based on the principles of presumption of innocence, the right to defense, effective judicial protection and the right to be tried in a public court. We also seek the total independence of judges. The mullahs’ Sharia law will be abolished.
  7. We are committed to the Universal Declaration of Humans Rights, and international covenants and conventions, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against Torture, and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women.
  8. We recognize private property, private investment and the market economy. All Iranian people must enjoy equal opportunity in employment and in business ventures. We will protect and revitalize the environment.
  9. Our foreign policy will be based on peaceful coexistence, international and regional peace and cooperation, as well as respect for the United Nations Charter.
  10. We want a non-nuclear Iran, free of weapons of mass destruction.

Iran-US Relations

The relationship between Iran and the US continues to be a difficult one. Currently, there are no formal, diplomatic relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States. The hope that U.S. Iran relations would improve as a result of the 2015 signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) designed to peacefully end Iran’s nuclear program has completely crumbled. Since signing the nuclear agreement, Iran increased its support for dangerous militias and terror groups, sending its missiles and other weapons to war zones across the Middle East, and engaged in other provocative behaviors. As a result, the U.S. has withdrawn from the agreement and has reinstated against Iran. Iranian American relations at the current time are strained and tense.

However, the relationship between Iran and the U.S has not always been tenuous and the OIAC hopes that through peaceful, democratic change in Iran, the two countries can once again enjoy fruitful diplomatic relations in the future. We long for a free Iran with universal suffrage, freedom of the media, and a separation of church and state. We advocate for a future Iran that recognizes personal property rights, private investment, and one that upholds the universal declaration of human rights and eliminates all forms of discrimination. The OIAC believes that when the people of Iran insist upon a return to democracy, Iran and United States relations will improve and a true and lasting peace can be established in the region.

Iranian Americans and the OIAC fight daily for democracy and regime change in Iran with a goal of providing a better tomorrow for our families and loved ones in Iran. The OIAC does not support foreign war, nor does our organization support U.S. appeasement of Iran. Instead, our goal is to seek a third way for dealing with Iran—one that supports the struggle of individual Iranians hoping to effect democratic change in Persia. The citizens of Iran must act themselves to completely replace the current regime, which in no way represents the Iranian people’s desire for democracy and peace.

Our mission is to mobilize our network of Iranian-American communities in 40 states in the U.S. to engage in the civic process, and to educate local and national policy makers and the media about the important and complex issues facing the Iranian people. Better American-Iranian relations can help bring more peace to the region.

We are filled with optimism as we advocate for human rights and democracy for the citizens of Iran. Our foreign policy platform seeks a peaceful co-existence between Iran and the U.S. and promotes international and regional peace and cooperation. We want the relationship between Iran and the U.S. to provide more opportunity for individuals in both countries and to foster a better state of affairs for the region and the world.
