Mr. Harper passionately conveyed that the continuous nationwide protests in Iran are increasing in intensity and could eventually “burn the entire regime to the ground.”
Rejecting the propaganda disseminated against the Iranian Resistance by the regime and its appeasers, he questioned, “If the regime had no such opposition, why would it expend so much energy in denouncing and demonizing this organization, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and all its organs and cells?”
Reminiscing about past Western policies towards the Shah regime, the former Prime Minister accentuated the necessity for the global community to recognize the Iranian Resistance’s platform for reform in Iran.
Mr. Harper ardently stated, “Friends, we meet here today to mark roughly one year since the death of one woman, Mahsa Amini, set off nationwide protests against the theocratic dictatorship in Iran. Today the regime, and its appeasers in the West, will proclaim that the protests have subsided, never to return.”
Countering these claims, Harper was firm in his belief that the Iranian resistance is more potent than ever and reminded the audience of a historical precedent: “Appeasers have been wrong whenever and wherever they have put such claims forward. But incredibly, in Iran, they were already wrong once before when they assured us that the Shah’s regime was all-powerful and would forever be in control.”

Highlighting the atrocities committed by the current regime, from funding terrorism to an unyielding quest for nuclear weapons, Harper remarked, “How could it be worse than a regime that openly lists the nations it wishes to wipe off the face of the earth?”
He emphasized the need for an alternative solution, stating, “It’s really simple, stand with the Iranian Resistance and in solidarity with the people of Iran in their desire for a free, secular, and democratic state.”
Mr. Harper ended on an encouraging note, praising the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) for its steadfast vision: “Your commitment to free elections, to human rights and gender equality, to the separation of religion and state… That is the vision on which you have staked your claim, and I believe it is a vision that the vast swath of the Iranian people are yearning to get behind.” His inspiring words resonate with hope for the future of Iran and a call to action for the international community.
