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.
The 20 June rally presents a rare opportunity to deliver a unified transatlantic message, one that places the West firmly on the right side of history.
Continuing their daily and incessant crimes, the executioners of the clerical regime executed three brave rebellious youths from the children of the people of Mashhad
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: Through these executions, the regime seeks to prevent an uprising. But the day of the people's uprising and holding the perpetrators of these crimes accountable is near.
On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Dr. Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, met and held talks with Maryam Rajavi.
This is the central point of appeasement policy. Everyone knows that the most important red line the Iranian regime has sought to impose on European governments is any engagement with the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

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 […]
