The Iranian Regime Today is Weaker and More Fragile Than Yesterday!

Since the appointment of Masoud Bezhakian as the president of the Iranian regime, the regime, which is experiencing extremely dire and worsening conditions day by day, is attempting, through various means, particularly by issuing varied political statements—some of which aim to portray it as a moderate regime seeking dialogue and understanding, while others are provocative in nature—or even through what is reported in its media to distort and misinterpret the facts to demonstrate its cohesion and assert that it still holds the reins of power. Not only that, but through exceptional media camouflage and intelligence deception, it seeks to instill fear and terror in the hearts of regional nations and peoples, especially those in the West, by depicting itself as possessing numerous dangerous cards that, if played, would unleash chaos and instability in various parts of the world, not just in the Middle East. However, this contradiction in its statements, or rather the evident confusion within them, hides behind it feelings of anxiety and fear within the regime due to the significant defeat it has suffered in its regional project, with the decline of Hezbollah in Lebanon and the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Undoubtedly, after what has happened to the regime and the changes that have occurred across various levels, it seeks to improve its negotiating position in vain, as circumstances have shifted, and what was feasible in the past decade is no longer possible in this current decade.
The Iranian regime, which has consistently exploited the negotiation process with the international community as a cover to justify its legitimacy and sustain its tyranny, repression, and the confiscation of the Iranian people's freedoms and various rights, also aims through these negotiations to keep the international front against it in a state of disarray and fragmentation, allowing it to exploit gaps and differences to achieve its nefarious aims. This is clearly evident in its inclination to negotiate with the Europeans while rejecting negotiations with Washington, but it seems that the Iranian regime cannot play the game on the ropes it selects. Wherever it turns regarding negotiations related to its nuclear program, it will find itself faced with the primary and most crucial demand, which is to put an end to its clandestine endeavors and terminate its dubious role in the region and the world.
Khamenei's outright rejection of negotiations with Washington is not a sudden and recent stance; it is an attempt to apply pressure on the firm American position and to seek to soften it. It even reminds us of the 19 conditions he outlined in the final days of negotiations prior to the 2015 agreement, which was ultimately signed, and his conditions were clearly disregarded. This situation is no different now, especially since the regime today is weaker and more fragile than it was yesterday.
Regarding the Iranian regime's position on women's rights, it itself demonstrates increasing oppression against women within Iran, as Iranian women continue to struggle against the oppression and discrimination exerted by the regime. In this context, conferences supporting Iranian women's rights serve as an important platform to amplify the voices of Iranian women and support their struggle for freedom and equality. These conferences, like those supported by the Iranian resistance, emphasize the necessity for international support for Iranian women in the face of the oppressive regime. These events are not only about political action but also represent a vital opportunity to demand a unified international stance in support of Iranian women in their fight for freedom and dignity.
On the occasion of International Women's Day 2025, prominent international figures gathered at the "Women: A Force for Change" conference to discuss the role of women in resistance and the struggle for democracy, especially in Iran. Political leaders, human rights activists, and former officials participated in this event, expressing their solidarity with Iranian women who are fighting for freedom and equality.
The Iranian resistance, through Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the elected president of the resistance, has repeatedly called on the international community not to negotiate with this regime, which does not acknowledge human rights and does not respect basic freedoms. Ending negotiations with this regime today, before tomorrow, is in the best interest of the international community and is essential for ensuring international peace and security.
