Senior U.S. Senate Delegation Meets with NCRI President-elect #Rajavi
In a move that must frustrate the Iranian
regime and its mullahs, the National Council of Resistance of Iran
(NCRI) President-elect Maryam Rajavi hosted a senior Senate delegation
from the United States on August 12, 2017. The meeting was held in the
Albanian capital of Tirana. During the gathering, the two groups
discussed the current situation of the People’s Mojahedin Organization
of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Albania, the latest developments in Iran and the
Middle East, and solutions to end the current crisis sweeping that
region.
The Senate delegation was comprised of
Senators Roy Blunt, Vice President of the Republican Conference, and
member of the Appropriation, Select Intelligence, Rules and
Administration, and Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committees;
John Cornyn, the Majority Whip, and a member of the Judiciary, Select
Intelligence, and Finance committees; and Thom Tillis, a member of the
Armed Services, Judiciary, Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and
Veterans’ Affairs committees.
The meeting was initiated by Senator Roy
Blunt, who led the delegation in congratulating the MEK for the safe and
secure relocation of all Camp Liberty residents out of Iraq. They also
wished the group well in its efforts to secure democracy and human
rights in Iran.
Mrs. Rajavi, after thanking the senators
for their decisive position on the Iranian regime, emphasized that
contrary to the propaganda by the Iranian regime’s apologists, the
ruling theocracy was rotten to the core and very fragile. Without
foreign support, especially the policy of appeasement pursued in the
U.S. and Europe, it would not have survived so long. She added that
regime change in Iran is necessary and a viable and democratic
alternative exists that could make a successful regime change possible.
Mrs. Rajavi said equating regime change by the Iranian people for
democracy with war and instability in the region is a sheer lie, the
source of which is the Iranian regime’s lobby in western capitals. They
demagogically turn the truth on its head, she noted, adding that the
overthrow of the Tehran regime was a prerequisite to ending crisis and
war in the Middle East.
As part of the meeting, some steps that
the NCRI believes necessary for the international community to undertake
regarding Iran were discussed. These included imposing comprehensive
sanctions on the Iranian regime’s banking and oil sector, expelling the
IRGC and its affiliated militias from the Middle East, and taking urgent
steps to punish the regime for the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political
prisoners.
The Senate delegation also met with MEK
members that witnessed or were victims of the regime in Iran and within
Iraq at Camps Liberty and Ashraf.
