Led by Deputy Director Alireza Jafarzadeh, the conference unveiled internal documents indicating a growing inclination among Iranians to boycott the regime’s elections. Notably, the absence of various regime factions during the electoral proceedings was emphasized.
Jafarzadeh, joined by international media representatives, dissected the regime’s electoral strategy orchestrated by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This strategy involved purging rival factions and removing key regime figures. The extensive purge, as revealed during the conference, reflects the regime’s anxiety about internal unrest and its attempts to bolster warmongering and terrorism activities for survival.
The role of the regime’s parliament, the Majlis, was scrutinized by Jafarzadeh, who highlighted its function as a political and legal facade for the regime’s machinery of repression and terrorism. The parliament’s actions were underscored as contributing to the escalation of suppression and executions, with no substantial solutions proposed beyond these measures.

Emphasizing the far-reaching impact of Khamenei’s purge, Jafarzadeh predicted potential erosion of the regime’s social support base, destabilization of the entire system, and heightened internal tensions. Recent documents from the seizure of parliament servers were shared, exposing instances of theft and corruption within the legislative body. The conference shed light on Supreme Leader’s directives aimed at strengthening repressive organs and expanding terrorist activities in maritime zones.
In conclusion, Jafarzadeh asserted that the Iranian people see the solution to Iran’s future not in the rigged elections but in uprisings, demonstrations, and the activities of Resistance Units aimed at overthrowing the clerical regime. He called the upcoming March 1 elections “fabricated” and predicted widespread public boycotts. The Deputy Director urged the U.S. government, European countries, and the United Nations to reimpose past sanctions against the regime and emphasized the need to hold it accountable for crimes against humanity, terrorism, and warmongering.
