EU policy has been destructive, not only for the Iranian people but also for Europe,” Maryam Rajavi reiterated.

“The Iranian people understand fully well that monarchy has been a symbol of dictatorship in Iran in the past two centuries. In recent protests, they have chanted thousands of times that they want neither the previous nor the current dictatorships. They want freedom,” she continued.
