The ruling religious regime in Iran has resorted to producing nuclear weapons for its survival. This regime does not think in any way about improving the conditions of the Iranian people, their welfare, progress, or development. For this reason, it is an illegitimate regime, and the Iranian people long to overthrow it. The primary goal of this regime since its establishment has been to maintain power in the name of "Islam," nothing more. Meanwhile, Islam is a religion of mercy, peace, friendship, and coexistence. The current state of the Iranian people under the ruling religious regime affirms this truth.

More than 120,000 people have fallen victim to the bullets of the executioners, and millions of Iranians have been arrested, tortured, and displaced. Emigration of skilled individuals from Iran frequently makes headlines in both Iranian and international media. The cost of living, poverty, unemployment, and the gap between the ruling class (a small minority) and the Iranian people (the vast majority) continue to increase day by day. Military projects consume the largest share of the state budget annually. The aggression exercised by the ruling religious regime in Iran outside its borders is experiencing a continuous escalation. Iranian state terrorism has often become a main headline in international newspapers worldwide. Concurrently with this ongoing situation, a new resolution was passed by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reflecting, above all, the fact that this religious dictatorial regime is the same regime that seized power in Iran from the outset by Khomeini, with the support of dubious international forces. Therefore, there is no way out of this situation except by overthrowing this regime!

Recently, the resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors was approved, with a positive vote from 19 out of 35 member states of the council. The countries that drafted the resolution emphasized the necessity of submitting a comprehensive report by the spring of 2025, highlighting the mullahs’ regime's lack of seriousness in cooperation and its repeated violations of commitments related to guarantees. The purpose of the comprehensive report is to identify instances of violations of guarantees and challenge the Iranian regime's actions concerning IAEA mechanisms. Although this action by the IAEA came late, it represents a necessary step to confront the regime that has sought and continues to strive covertly to acquire nuclear weapons and hold the fate of the world's peoples hostage. The Iranian regime has long been immune to sanctions for high-enriched uranium production for nuclear bomb purposes through deceiving the international community. This decision simultaneously reflects the failure of the policy of appeasement that countries have endlessly pursued with this fascist regime regarding its destructive nuclear program, which does not serve the interests of the people.

It is noteworthy that the mentioned resolution stressed the necessity for the mullahs’ regime to fully and immediately cooperate with the IAEA, act transparently, as well as conveying deep concern about the findings of uranium traces in 4 undeclared sites in Iran, and the Iranian regime's violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)!

The international implications of the resolution's adoption

In reality, this resolution sends a message from the international community to the Iranian regime that it is no longer willing to tolerate this regime's non-transparent behavior and lack of responsiveness, and that either the "snapback mechanism" (automatic re-imposition of sanctions) should be activated, or the Iranian regime's nuclear file should be referred to the "Security Council," which would entail taking necessary actions as stipulated in Chapter VII of the UN Charter, or, in other words, reapplying the 6 resolutions previously adopted by the mentioned council against the Iranian regime.

Consequently, the mullahs' regime announced the "operation of advanced centrifuges" and emphasized the continuation of its nuclear programs, attempting to escape the impasse, reflecting a deep-seated fear and crisis in international legitimacy, alongside its failure to manage internal and external crises. 

It is noteworthy that the IRGC's Ali Larijani made a deceptive and panicked statement during an interview with Khamenei's website on November 20, 2024, just one day before the adoption of the resolution, addressing the new U.S. administration, saying: "... You have only two choices: either to return to the previously reached nuclear agreement or to negotiate a new agreement on the condition that you accept our terms." (Khabar Online - November 22, 2024).

The pivotal role of the Iranian resistance in unveiling the Iranian regime's nuclear projects

For over three decades, the Iranian resistance has played a vital role in raising international awareness by exposing the Iranian regime's clandestine nuclear activities. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the elected President of the Iranian Resistance, remarked that the delayed ratification of the IAEA Board of Governors' resolution against the mullahs' regime testifies to the validity of the positions of the Iranian resistance and their accuracy and honesty regarding the hidden intentions and secret nuclear activities of this fascist regime. Mrs. Rajavi stated: "For 33 years.
