The Velayat-e Faqih government does not represent the Iranian people!

إيران (أرشيف)

One characteristic of any decaying system is that its cases are never closed; rather, they accumulate on top of one another. In Iran, none of this regime's files have been closed, and they will never be closed. For this reason, the only possible solution is to change the regime, or more precisely, to overthrow this regime and bring about another system. From here, the importance of discussing the "alternative" to this regime arises as one of the most critical issues concerning Iran.

### Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist):

What the experience in Iran has proven under this religious regime is that changing the "so-called president!" does not bring any change to the political landscape in Iran, and it will never happen. This position in Iran is one devoid of power, and its most salient feature is this person's (!) belief in the principle of Velayat-e Faqih and the implementation of its policies and programs!

### Bezhaskian, Servant of Velayat-e Faqih:

Based on this introduction, it is understood that Masoud Bezhaskian is an integral part of Velayat-e Faqih! On the anniversary of the Iran-Iraq war (which this regime calls the holy war), he said, “Today, we can confidently declare to the world that we are capable of defending our country, and with unity and harmony with Islamic countries, by shaking hands with our loved ones and accompanying them, we will maintain peace and security in our region.” He addressed the regime's military forces, saying, “I am proud of you, dear ones. We take pride in this dear leader and will work to maintain the strength and dignity of the Islamic regime through your support and empowerment.” Bezhaskian had previously stated that without the intervention of Velayat-e Faqih, he would not have been appointed to this position (Regime TV, September 21, 2024).

### Bezhaskian, Guardian of Velayat-e Faqih:

What stands out when reviewing Bezhaskian's file is his role as a "guardian" of Velayat-e Faqih, which removes all doubts and convinces any observer of this fact. Bezhaskian himself stated that he is a “person dissolved in Velayat-e Faqih!”

### Bezhaskian's Emergence on the Scene:

In this new round of the electoral theater, Masoud Bezhaskian was brought to the stage, as he stated himself, “because he saw the regime in danger of extinction and collapse.” His mission is to whitewash the image of Velayat-e Faqih both domestically and internationally, a task previously exposed by the Iranian resistance and the Iranian people, as they do not believe in the possibility of reforming this regime. Reforms within the Velayat-e Faqih system are merely a "mirage."

### Bezhaskian's First Foreign Visit: Iraq

"Iraq" was chosen as the destination for Bezhaskian's first foreign trip due to the shared border between the two countries and the background of the eight-year war. Although actual power in this country is in the hands of Khamenei, the situation of the regime's forces in Iraq is heading towards collapse, with a significant risk that the regime will suffer an “irreversible” blow in the Middle East. According to observers and experts on Iranian affairs, this trip was another failure for the Iranian regime.

### The United Nations Is Not a Place for the Velayat-e Faqih Regime!

According to official news, Masoud Bezhaskian is scheduled to attend the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on September 24, 2024. Although the attendance of the "Iranian president!" at this meeting is an annual occurrence and not a new event, this year, more than ever, the truth is echoing in the international community that "the United Nations" is not a place for the current Iranian regime! In other words, the United Nations should not allow this repressive regime to retain its seat. This regime has proven to be in contradiction to contemporary human society; therefore, the Iranian people and the resistance demand the expulsion of this regime from the United Nations and the handing of the seat to the Iranian people!

### International Protests Against Bezhaskian's Presence at the United Nations

Iranians residing abroad, often supporters of the "National Council of Resistance of Iran," have organized protests in multiple countries against Bezhaskian's presence at the United Nations General Assembly, asserting that "the ruling regime in Iran does not represent the Iranian people." The National Council of Resistance of Iran is the longest-standing political coalition in Iran and the only opponent of the Velayat-e Faqih regime, which the regime greatly fears.

### Increase in Executions and Human Rights Violations in Iran

According to reports from the Iranian resistance, in Iran ruled by the Velayat-e Faqih, executions and human rights
