In the last 45 years, no other government has caused as much death and carnage among Muslims, both Shiite and Sunni, as the velayat-e faqih regime has.

Maryam Rajavi’s keynote speech was a focal point of the evening. She delineated the Iranian regime’s detrimental impact on the Middle East, criticizing its distortion of Islamic principles and its involvement in exporting terrorism. Rajavi commended the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK) for its advocacy of a democratic and authentic Islam, standing in stark contrast to the regime’s oppressive policies. “Our commitment to women’s rights and a progressive interpretation of Islam sets us apart from the reactionary beliefs of Iran’s current rulers,” Rajavi stated.
Ahmad Kamel highlighted the regime’s manipulation of the Palestinian cause for its own benefit, stressing the need for global support to mitigate the regime’s negative influence. In line with the evening’s theme, speakers from across the spectrum shared their insights on the imperative of unity against the regime’s atrocities.
