Hello, it is my pleasure to send my warm regards to advocates and friends to a free Iran. This year, the world has watched men and women bravely stand up for their rights in peaceful protests across the country. Their courage and determination inspires all to recommit to our shared mission, to build a democratic, free and non-nuclear Iran. America stands in solidarity with every Iranian man and woman and child as they fight for the right to speak freely without fear of persecution.

We stand with solidarity with the brave Iranians fighting for this new chapter. Your fight is our fight I want to commend Madam Rajavi for continuing her advocacy for democracy, women’s rights and minority rights in Iran.

I am heartened by the ongoing protest in Iran calling for a free, secular, nuclear-free Iranian democracy and an end to the dictatorship of the current regime.

Together we send this message to the people of Iran. As you take to the streets to protest the brutality and corruption of the mullah dictatorship, we are on your side. Freedom will prevail in Iran. The people struggling there have the support of people throughout the world… You are also making sure that institutions and plans are made and available so that when the mullah regime collapses, there will be an Alternative, where people with democratic ideals and a concept of freedom will be able to put these things in place to replace the mullah dictatorship.

I am coming to you today to talk to you about supporting a free Iran, one with a democratic-elected government process, one that respects men and women, one that will not seek to proliferate in the nuclear race, one that will, indeed, give Iran back the individual responsibilities and liberties it used to have before, one that was so prosperous What NCRI is doing I support, and that will help turn the tide and bring about a form of government that is fair to the people and one that is tailored to fit what the people of Iran need.
