Press COMMUNIQUE

The People of Iran Want Peace

In these perilous days, the top officials of the Islamic regime in Iran from the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to the disputed President and the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have been making bellicose statements. Such bellicose remarks are like pouring gasoline on fire of those in the U.S. and Israel who advocate military attacks on Iran. What would be the reaction of the Iranian people towards the war mongering tendencies of the leaders of the Islamic regime of Iran on the one hand and those outside Iran who promote war?

Both the supporters of war outside Iran and the war mongers of the Islamic regime promote the idea that because the Iranian people have remained silent, their silence means that they support war or are not strongly against it. Such ideas create conditions which increase the likelihood of confrontations leading to war. Such a war will have devastating consequences for Iran.

The leaders of the Islamic regime apparently believe that continuing and increasing global tensions are of advantage for their regime’s survival. Until today, this regime has relied upon creating crises after crises to survive. It appears that this regime is inviting military conflict in order to divert the attention of the people from domestic problems. It believes that under the current conditions, a military attack will make it easier to suppress the domestic opposition and dissent of a population, the overwhelming majority of whom opposes this regime. To this mafia-like regime it is of no great importance that such a catastrophic war will bring grave loss of live, destroy the country’s industries and national wealth. The current rulers are inspired by Ayatollah Khomeini who regarded war as “divine blessing” for his government. They are preoccupied with messianic ideas and regard a great war as a sign of the arrival of the 12th Imam, the Mahdi, and they believe that the Muslims of the world should be happy to witness his arrival.

The world should know that this regime is not only not safeguarding security, rights and freedom of the people of our country, but that this regime itself is the worst abuser of our rights and freedoms and that because of this, it lacks the support of the majority of the Iranian people. Such a regime lacks the credibility to speak on behalf of the Iranian people on matters of life and death. The Iranian people have been struggling for freedom, independence, peace, and territorial integrity of Iran against this regime, which is the biggest obstacle to freedom, democracy, peace and security. The Islamic regime in Iran is the main entity responsible for any potential war in the future, an issue that is not to be obscured for the peoples around the world.

The recent history of Iran shows that the Iranian people have wanted peace and peaceful coexistence with other peoples around the world and have regarded military conflict as the wrong means to resolve conflicts. The world should distinguish between the Iranian people -- who wish to see a foreign policy which would guarantee Iran’s rights, comity and amity with other nations, respect for friendly relations with all other countries, especially our neighbors, as well as respect for international conventions -- and the totalitarian regime that is currently ruling Iran.  

We hope to see all the democratic and progressive organizations in Iran and around the world spread the pro-peace voice of the Iranian people. We need to tell the world that the Iranian people are not responsible for the adventurist and bellicose policies of the Islamic regime ruling Iran. We need to tell the world that we should defend peace and oppose any form of war and military attacks.
