Free Iran Rally in Solidarity With Iranian Resistance & People's Uprising
The Iranian opposition is organizing a series of demonstrations in Europe and the United States and actively promoting the upcoming “Free Iran Rally”.
The rally takes place every summer. It sees more than 100,000 Iranian opposition supporters and members of the NCRI gather to protest the barbaric dictatorship in Iran.
NCRI President-elect Maryam Rajavi’s “Ten Point Plan” defines the opposition’s political platform for a future democratic Iran.
The rally is sponsored by dozens of associations and rights groups who support the NCRI’s calls for a free, democratic, non-nuclear Iran, where there will be no capital punishment, and essential freedoms and gender equality are guaranteed.
The Iranian diaspora has announced mass demonstrations against the Iranian regime in: Brussels on June 15, Washington D.C. on June 21, Berlin, on July 6, and London, on July 27.

Over 100 Dead or Injured Due to Floods and Storms in Iran
In the past 23 days in Iran, 31 people have been killed and 71 others have been injured due to floods, thunderstorms, and lightning.
Iranian opposition President-elect Maryam Rajavi called on the public to form popular councils and give independent assistance to the flood victims. She said that the mullahs’ regime has left Iran defenseless against natural disasters by large scale theft, environmental massacre and wasting the country’s assets in the export of terrorism and warmongering.

Iran's Regime Sentences Journalist to Two Years in Jail
The Iranian regime's judiciary on Sunday sentenced a journalist to two years in jail for "spreading misinformation" and "insulting" the regime's supreme leader and authorities.
Masoud Kazemi was also banned from "media activities" for two years, his lawyer Ali Mojtahedzadeh was quoted as saying by the official news agency IRNA.

IRGC Claims Iran's Presence in Syria Is an 'Act of Divine Duty'
A top Revolutionary Guards commander has vowed to continue the Iranian regime’s warmongering in Syria.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution is not limited to a geographic area, said Admiral Ali Fadavi, vice commander of the IRGC.
“One of the beautiful effects of adhering to the Islamic Revolution is the presence of our youth thousands of kilometres away from the borders of our country, and how beautifully they have achieved the victory that was promised to us by God,” he added.
He said that the Iranian regime’s presence in Syria is “an act of divine duty.”
A few days ago, Fadavi had also openly spoken about Tehran’s support for the Houthis in Yemen in an interview with Iran’s Channel 3.
The U.S. State Department earlier this year listed the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization.

A Viable Democratic Alternative to the Iranian Regime

Maryam Rajavi  By  Ken Blackwell   One could easily argue that Iran’s ruling theocracy is facing the greatest internal threat to its rule since the 1980s. In the beginning of this year, the country was rocked by a mass uprising. The chain of protests was a major step forward for the domestic Resistance movement in the sense that it extracted political activism from farmers and the rural poor, despite the fact that these groups had long been thought to tolerate or even support the clerical regime. The December-to-January uprising was comprised of protests in upwards of 140 cities and towns spanning the entire country. And this diversity has remained on display in the ensuing months, as activist networks and entire populations continue to organize more localized demonstrations, in keeping with the call-to-action issued in March by   Maryam Rajavi , the president of the NationalCouncil of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) , a coalition headed by the principle Ira...
