Conference in Paris: Ramadan, A Month of Brotherhood and Tolerance vis-à-vis the Velayat-e Faqih and Fundamentalism
Maryam Rajavi’s speech: “For many years, the Iranian Resistance’s Iftar of solidarity with representatives of the peoples of the region was a gathering of prayer for the freedom of the Syrian people. Thanks be to God that this year, the people of Syria observe Ramadan liberated from the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad.
Every year, at our Iftar gathering, we were honored by the presence of an exceptional figure and a man of impeccable integrity—my esteemed brother, the great Mojahed, former Prime Minister of Algeria, Sid Ahmed Ghozali. He was an unforgettable symbol of the region’s solidarity and a voice of hope and determination in the struggle against fundamentalism backed by the mullahs in Tehran. Mr. Ghozali inherited the values of the Mojahedin and the revolution of Algeria. Now, he has returned to his Creator. Indeed, we belong to God, and to Him we shall return.

Livelihood Crisis in Iran: The Gap Between Reality and Official Statistics
Iranian child working to survive
Iran’s economy has faced multiple crises and mega-crises in recent years. One of the most significant issues is rampant inflation and the declining purchasing power of the people. Meanwhile, official statistics provided by government agencies not only present an unrealistic picture of people’s living conditions but also artificially lower figures to suggest economic stability. How closely do these statistics align with the economic realities of the country? A detailed examination of living costs and inflation rates reveals that the gap between government claims and the real-life conditions of citizens is widening every day.
According to the latest reports, the Supreme Labor Council’s Wage Committee has estimated the cost of a worker’s livelihood basket at 235 million rials. Meanwhile, the High Council of Trade Unions had estimated the same basket at 290 million rials in December.

Iranian Officials Admit Fear of Uprising and Defection within Ranks
Bushehr, March 5, 2025 – Baghan Dam workers strike over four months of unpaid wages, facing hardship ahead of Nowruz
On Monday, March 3, retirees of the Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI) in various cities demonstrated their determination to confront the ruling mafia with slogans such as “We will not rest until we get our rights,” “The Imam’s Executive Headquarters has eaten our rights,” and “Our enemy is right here.” “Our enemy is right here” is one of the slogans repeated daily by people who are fed up with the oppression and plunder of the ruling mullahs. This slogan expresses the widespread anger and hatred towards the regime’s bloodthirsty supreme leader Ali Khamenei, the main enemy of the people.
The other side of the coin of the people’s anger and uprising is the regime’s fear and defection within its ranks, terrified of the flames of revolt igniting in the explosive conditions of society. The regime has experienced the anger and “fury” of the people in the uprisings of 2017-2018, 2019, and 2022 and is aware of the defection and turning away of its forces in these difficult times.

Iran’s Compliance with the NPT Safeguards: Quad Statement to the IAEA Board

In a joint statement delivered at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board meeting in Vienna, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States (the Quad) expressed deep concern over Iran’s continued lack of cooperation with the IAEA in fulfilling its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Safeguards Agreement. UK Ambassador Corinne Kitsell delivered the statement on behalf of the Quad, highlighting Iran’s persistent failure to clarify outstanding safeguards issues related to its nuclear program.
The Quad commended the IAEA for its persistent efforts to engage Iran and shed light on its nuclear activities. However, the statement underscored that for more than five years, Iran has refused to provide the necessary clarifications regarding the presence of nuclear material detected at multiple undeclared locations. This continued refusal has left the IAEA unable to confirm that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful.
