The NCRI’s rally on February 9, 2025, commemorated the 46th anniversary of the Anti-Monarchic Revolution, highlighting calls for a new revolution to overthrow the current Iranian regime. Thousands participated, urging global solidarity with the Iranian people against oppression, while facing reports of ongoing economic struggles and educational challenges.
On February 9, 2025, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) announced significant events commemorating the 46th Anniversary of the Anti-Monarchic Revolution. The rally in Paris featured Maryam Rajavi, leader of the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), who emphasized the persistent spirit of the 1979 revolution despite attempts to extinguish its legacy. She called for a new revolution to overthrow the current oppressive regime, rallying thousands to demand support from the international community for the Iranian people.
During the rally, Rajavi highlighted the rampant unrest and protests across Iran, fueled by dire living conditions affecting millions who lack fundamental necessities. She urged the world to refrain from appeasing the Iranian regime, calling attention to the need for solidarity with those fighting for their rights. Notably, remarks from former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt underscored the hope for change, comparing the Iranian situation to the recent fall of the Assad regime in Syria.
In Zahedan, the PMOI Resistance Units demonstrated against all forms of dictatorship, expressing unity in rejecting both past and present tyrannies. The slogans they displayed resonated with the ideals of liberation and democracy, affirming their resolve to dismantle oppressive structures in Iran. Concurrently, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed the prospects of U.S. negotiations, attributing the nation’s crises solely to internal factors and rallying his administration to address them independently.
Parvin Advaei, a civil rights activist, was recently transferred to a correctional facility following her detainment since January. Reports indicate a lack of clarity regarding her charges, highlighting continuing repression against dissenters. In another alarming trend, women in Iran face escalating economic hardship, particularly among female breadwinners struggling against inadequate wages and poor working conditions.
The Iranian regime’s claims of increasing oil exports clash with independent reports suggesting otherwise, prompting skepticism regarding the government’s transparency. Furthermore, education experts are raising concerns about systemic issues in Iran’s educational policies, which contribute to disparities in access to quality education. Recent statements from educational authorities reflect the urgent need for comprehensive reforms to address the growing educational poverty in the country.
The geopolitical and domestic challenges facing Iran have led to significant social unrest and calls for regime change. Key events, such as the 46th anniversary of the 1979 revolution, provide a platform for opposition leaders to mobilize and rally support against the current government’s policies. The Iranian resistance calls into question the legitimacy of the regime, urging international support for their cause, while advocating for basic human rights and democratic principles.
The events of February 9, 2025, underscored the continuing struggle for freedom and democracy in Iran, with significant public support for a regime change. Leaders like Maryam Rajavi are harnessing the momentum from past revolutions to unite diverse opposition voices against the current regime’s injustices. As protests intensify, the international community faces both a moral obligation and opportunity to support the Iranian people’s quest for change.
