The Oppressed Nation of Iran: In Battle with Plunderers

In the Name of God

With respect to the oppressed, tyrannized, and plundered nation of my homeland, Iran

Right now, on the one hand, the suffering nation of Iran is exposed to the oppression and tyranny of the lifelong, single-party, and autocratic regime of the Islamic Republic, and on the other hand, it has been subjected to widespread foreign attacks and has become the target of foreign power-seekers’ invasions, each of whom pursues only their own expansionist and power-oriented goals, and for whom human lives have no value or importance, and are willing to let thousands of women, children, and civilians roll in dust and blood before their eyes, while they will not give up their monopoly and power-seeking at all, and as in the past, they continue to consider their delusional thoughts based on their dream of domination as absolutely correct, just, and authentic. At this point, unfortunately, other power-seeking agents have also prepared themselves to drag the country towards another permanent single-party system, once again with a coup-like move, after the end of these attacks and their fruition and the overthrow of this dictatorial regime, and to take over a new chapter of ravage and plundering. In fact, those who dream of ruling and sovereignty are also seeking to regain power at the expense of the blood of this nation so that, with the help of foreign forces that are bringing the people to the brink of displacement, famine, and helplessness, they can also take away the remaining power of the people and find the ground for their new domination over this nation, and as a result, the side effects of such domination will be the plundering of our country’s vast wealth and the establishment of another single-party government for life so that they can better continue their ravage. At this stage, they are trying to deceive the nation once again with deceitful and hollow promises, and with the promise of democracy, they are laying the foundations of their lifelong and hereditary government in which there is never a need to vote or seek the opinion of the people, and they are once again trying to determine the fate of future generations in a different way. In other words, the Islamic Republic has, in a way, destroyed the right of future generations with its dictatorship, and here there is the same intention in a different way. Because dictatorial regimes can satisfy their madness for power only by lifelong sovereignty. In fact, all those who intend to rule for a long time are the same dictators who, while depriving the present generation, do not recognise any rights of the people and future generations and condemn everyone to endure a hereditary government in which the future generation has no right to choose and must endure them. Just as after being freed from the previous permanent system, we fell into the clutches of the current, seemingly Islamic, lifelong regime. Now, other similar traps are in the way of this nation. This time, with the direct help of foreign forces. That is, a very calculated imposition on my dear and noble compatriots.

But the situation my compatriots are facing is going to impose very difficult conditions on this noble nation, as a result of which everyone is forced to accept any conditions, submit to no matter whom and accept any imposed system. The politicians who planned this war and the bloodshed have well realised that the wise people of Iran will no longer be burdened by a lifelong single-party rule, which has been experienced over and over again, and will never allow an individual or a minority to plunder the national wealth. As a result, the powerful have decided to appoint their puppets to power by slaughtering the noble people of Iran, starving them, destroying all infrastructure, and turning the country into a ruin so that the plundering of the national wealth with the help of these puppets and with the cheap labour force of this nation will be easily achievable and the conditions will be ready for any kind of political imposition, and once again, and in a different way, they will make us political slaves in a life-long hereditary single-party system.

It is time to call on all diversity of the Iranian nation and human rights activists to issue warnings against those responsible for the killing of innocent people, warn of the possible humanitarian catastrophes ahead, and express their condemnation and abhorrence of the perpetrators of war, bloodshed, and displacement of the innocent people of Iran. Also, in this regard, take the necessary measures to collect international humanitarian aid. The continuation of this foreign invasion will cause famine and many disorders for my compatriots, which will pain the heart of every human being.

Also, at this juncture, the lives of all political prisoners opposed to the regime and, of course, in a way, the lives of all prisoners in general, are in danger. Because they may be exposed to numerous problems resulting from the spread of war and aerial bombardments. Therefore, I consider it necessary that all prisoners, especially political, security, and prisoners of conscience, be released from prisons across the country as soon as possible.

Here, as a patriotic Iranian, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who, due to their honourable profession, are obliged and responsible to provide assistance to the people and are therefore, willing or not, at the risk of being threatened by airstrikes.

At the end, by declaring and reaffirming that I consider myself sharing the pain of my compatriots, and while I wish for the liberation of my beloved homeland, Iran, from the clutches of the dictators of the seemingly Islamic regime, my heartfelt wish is that this important task will be accomplished by our heroic nation and that ultimately this nation will take charge of its affairs and be the ruler of its own destiny. I have been, am, and will be sympathetic to my compatriots moment by moment, I have not abandoned them for a second, and I will always be with my suffering people, especially in the current critical conditions, and I will help them with all my strength so that in the removal of the life-long Islamic government (with the appearance of the Islamic Republic) the Iranian nation, in the presence of national elites and intellectuals and fighters of all these years of repression and tyranny, will prepare the ground for the management of the country through non-lifetime and electoral (4-year terms) administration by forming a temporary transitional council, until a general referendum is reached, so that by hiring experts in various fields and specialties required for the administration of the country under the supervision of the nation’s trustees, the nation will be taking a new path of unparalleled transformation and renaissance.
