According to Telegraph, Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has called for the removal of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, blaming him for the country’s ongoing crises and the recent devastation caused by conflict. In a statement released on June 22, 2025, Rajavi condemned Khamenei’s leadership as “unpatriotic,” accusing him of causing countless deaths and costing the Iranian people at least two trillion dollars—losses she says have now “gone up in smoke.” Rajavi emphasized a “Third Option” for Iran’s future: rejecting both appeasement and war in favor of regime change led by the Iranian people and their organized resistance. Founded in 1981, the NCRI is a coalition of Iranian groups seeking to establish a democratic republic based on separation of religion and state, gender equality, and non-nuclear policies. Speaking from Strasbourg just days earlier at the European Parliament, Rajavi highlighted the deepening crisis engulfing the clerical regime and warned that the ongoing conflict in the region was a direct consequence of decades of failed appeasement policies. She stressed that Khamenei’s regime remains committed to pursuing nuclear weapons and exporting terrorism, policies she described as pillars of its survival. Rajavi’s call for regime change reflects a growing sentiment among Iranian opposition groups and segments of the population frustrated by economic hardship, repression, and war. She urged the international community to support the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom and democracy, arguing that lasting peace in Iran and the region can only be achieved through the overthrow of the current theocratic dictatorship. The NCRI’s message underscores the intensifying internal and external pressures facing Iran’s leadership amid escalating military confrontations and widespread domestic discontent. From Opera News |

Last last, the true Iranians have spoken. Everybody seems to be against the terrorist government that have been troubling the entire world. Lesson, don't allow anyone deceive you into unnecessary battles. You may end up disgracing yourself. Also, always analyze your actions and ascertain the end results and whether beneficial or not. |

muyico:Execution by who? Ayatollah hiding in a matchbox or his Generals killed like nothing. After the initial bombings have eased, there will be mass protests in Iran. Then, let us see the leadership that will suppress protests. |

Democracy may never work in Iran it can instead lead to more crisis and issues. Israel and US don't need Democracy in Iran they just need a government that will drop the nuclear ambition. |

Return to which democracy, was Iran not monarchy before? BTW democracy is bad news for any developing nation, it has to many loop hole for criminals and the west and other local and foreign entities to manipulate, control and destabilize the nation. This is obviously the handy work of Isreal and USA Every nation have it culture and history, stick to it. UAE, Saudi, China etc are successful with their own brand of leadership that is ensh4ined in their culture. At some point someone either individually of as a group will need to stand up to USA and Israel and there botnet nations and give them a bloody nose. Otherwise they will never stop. They feel like they destroy any one, any country they don't like. See how easily they talk about assassination, and worse, assassination of another country's leaders without fear, with impunity. They have normalized impunity and lawlessness |

agulion:Iran was actually under democracy. They elected their president and because he didn't play ball with the West,he nationalized their oil and natural resources (just like your favorite guy in Niger is currently doing). America didn't like that so much and used CIA to topple his administration and installed their own puppet. His endemic corruption led to the revolution that gave rise to this Ayotallah guy. Ayotallah is actually imposed on Iranians by France (West). If you know your history well, you shouldn't be echoing some sentiment like you do |

muyico:It's fake news. The Iranians are solidly behind their leader because they have learn lessons from Libya, Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan. |

agulion:Is the double standard democracy propagated by the west? Shey you are blind to what was done to libya, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan? Its like while others were being breast fed with milk from their mother's breast, you were been fed with Western propagandas. ![]() |
