Maryam Rajavi is the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (Coalition of democratic Iranian opposition) for the transitional period during which sovereignty will be transferred to the people of Iran. Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for the future of Iran calls for a republic based on the separation of religion and state, gender equality, abolition of the death penalty and a non-nuclear Iran.
Tonight, the absolute clerical rule (Velayat-e Faqih) has effectively turned itself into a hereditary monarchy by placing Mojtaba Khamenei on the throne.
The lives and health of prisoners, especially political prisoners, across the country are severely threatened. They face the dangers of continuous bombardments.
For more than three decades, Mojtaba Khamenei, alongside his father, has been among the principal architects of repression, the export of fundamentalism and terrorism.
Iran’s history is at a critical moment, shaped by long-term developments over the past five decades. Ali Khamenei died. Now it is time for the entire regime of religious dictatorship to be overthrown by the Iranian people, the Liberation Army and their organized uprising.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, I must stress that the only viable force to replace the collapsing dictatorship in Iran is a movement in which women play a decisive role.
This year, International Women’s Day belongs to the courageous women and young people of Iran.
In the month of January, they rose in a major nationwide uprising. Thousands lost their lives and they paid a heavy price for freedom.
Now, with the death of Khamenei, one of this…— Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) March 8, 2026

Maryam Rajavi was born into a middle-class family in Tehran. One of her brothers, Mahmoud, is a veteran member of the PMOI/MEK and was a political prisoner during the Shah’s regime.
Her older sister, Narges, was killed by the Shah’s secret police, SAVAK, in 1975.
Her other sister, Massoumeh, an industrial engineering student, was arrested by the clerical regime in 1982. Pregnant at the time, she was ultimately hanged after undergoing brutal torture. Massoumeh’s husband, Massoud Izadkhah, was also executed.
Maryam Rajavi graduated with honors from the prestigious Sharif University of Technology in metallurgical engineering.
She joined the PMOI/MEK to participate in the popular resistance against the two corrupt dictatorships of the Shah and the mullahs. In the 1970s, during her college years, she organized anti-Shah student protests.
In 1980, she ran for a seat in Parliament from Tehran. But, due to widespread voter fraud by the new fundamentalist regime, none of the opposition candidates made it into Parliament. Despite the scam, Maryam Rajavi received over 250,000 votes.

The Third Option Twenty-one years ago, I stood in this very parliament and declared that the solution for Iran lies neither in appeasement nor in war, but in a third option: regime change by the people of Iran and the organized resistance. I warned, “The policy of appeasement encourages the clerical regime to persist in […]
