Trigger Mechanism: An Urgent Necessity to Curb the Iranian Regime

Hosseini Abedini

Maryam Rajavi, the elected president of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, emphasized the urgent need to expedite the activation of the trigger mechanism against the nuclear program led by Khamenei in her speech on the occasion of the Iranian New Year on March 18, 2025. She warned that the international community should not delay further in confronting this threat, calling for the regime to be placed under Chapter Seven of the United Nations Charter. She pointed out that the ultimate solution to the regime's threats lies in its overthrow by the Iranian people through resistance and uprising, a stance that aligns with recent developments and international reports.

Warnings Realized

Ten years ago, coinciding with the signing of the nuclear agreement (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) in 2015, Rajavi warned of its dangers. She elucidated that circumventing six United Nations Security Council resolutions and concluding a non-binding agreement would not prevent the regime's deception and its pursuit of acquiring a nuclear bomb. She called for strict monitoring by the United Nations over the released funds to direct them towards the urgent needs of the Iranian people, such as wages for workers, teachers, and nurses, instead of funding terrorism and wars in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon. Today, after a decade, these warnings have proven correct point by point. The billions injected into the regime have been used for internal repression and igniting regional conflicts, emboldening it in its inhumane policies.

Khamenei in a Bind

Ali Khamenei, who has long relied on maneuvering in international loopholes to prolong the life of his regime, expressed his anger at recent European moves. In a meeting with regime leaders, he attacked European countries, saying, “Did you fulfill your commitments in the nuclear agreement? You have not been compliant since day one, and after America's exit, you promised compensation, then reneged. You repeated the promise and reneged again. Even impudence has its limits!” These words, uttered in an angry tone, do not reflect strength but his fear of the return of international sanctions through the trigger mechanism.

Emerging International Consensus

The G7 (United States, Britain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada) along with the EU representative issued a joint statement declaring that the Iranian regime is "the main source of instability in the region" and must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons. This was preceded by a closed-session meeting of the Security Council attended by all 15 members to discuss the Iranian nuclear situation, where the British representative confirmed that activating the trigger mechanism is under serious consideration. Additionally, a report by Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, noted that Iran is the only country producing highly enriched uranium without nuclear weapons or a convincing peaceful justification.

Why Delay is Unacceptable

Despite the delay in discussing the trigger mechanism at the Security Council and the G7 statement, the mere specter of the return of the six previous resolutions terrifies the regime. This fear highlights the importance of adopting a firm stance and expediting the activation of the mechanism. The regime, which tries to cover up its internal crises with its nuclear project and by igniting wars, has become more vulnerable to global pressures and the rise of popular resistance.

The Final Solution is in the Hands of the People

Rajavi asserted that the root solution to the regime's threats does not lie in endless negotiations but in its overthrow by the people and organized resistance. As the specter of international sanctions looms over the regime, the uprising of the Iranian people could put an end to it. Activating the trigger mechanism is an urgent step to curb the nuclear threat, but the true liberation of Iran depends on the will of its people and the struggle of its resistance.
