Why is important to draw a clear boundary rejecting both the Shah and the mullahs?

In every serious project, the first thing you need to do is to define your goal and set your red lines. If you do not do that, you will not be able to move your work forward and reach your goal.
Why is it essential to draw a clear boundary rejecting both the Shah and the mullahs? Because this is a fight against all forms of dictatorship.
The people of Iran bought down the Shah during the 1979 Revolution and called for a republic, but the mullahs hijacked the revolution and set up a religious dictatorship. We cannot go back! That would be a pointless loop. We must face forward, namely a democratic republic.
In the 2022 uprising, one rallying cry united the people’s front: “Death to the oppressor, whether Shah or (the mullahs’) Leader,” which was heard in the streets of Iran. If we fail to establish these red lines, we will not reach our goal of freedom and popular sovereignty.
As Massoud Rajavi as repeatedly warned, the fundamental principle, “neither Shah nor the mullahs,” means rejecting every form of dictatorship and dependency.
