Iranian Resistance Leader: ‘Khamenei Must Go’ After U.S. Strikes Regime Nuclear Sites
Breitbart ^ | June 22, 2025 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 06/22/2025 7:25:31 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Following U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran’s key nuclear facilities, Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the Iranian opposition group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), declared, “Now Khamenei must go.” She added, “The Iranian people welcome the end of the war and seek peace and freedom.”

On Sunday, Rajavi delivered a sharp rebuke of the regime, calling for sweeping change and blaming the Supreme Leader for years of costly miscalculations that have pushed the nation into crisis, driven by a now-destroyed nuclear weapons program pursued at the Iranian people’s expense.

“Khamenei is responsible for an unpatriotic project that, in addition to costing countless lives, has cost the Iranian people at least two trillion dollars — and now, it has all gone up in smoke,” she said.

She reiterated what her movement calls the Third Option:

No to appeasement, no to war—yes to regime change, i.e., changing the religious dictatorship by the Iranian people and the Iranian Resistance. Forward toward a free Iran and a democratic, non-nuclear republic with separation of religion and state and gender equality.

Sunday’s strikes are widely viewed as a message to Tehran: the era of unchecked nuclear escalation is ending. For Rajavi and the NCRI, it is more proof that the clerical regime cannot be reformed — it must be replaced.

Just imagine the billions of dollars expended on Iran’s nuclear program over the years == now gone in the blink of an eye.

Presumably part of a CIA and associated effort at a color revolution.

I try to keep in mind that the public isn’t privy to the complete intelligence picture about Iran’s nuclear capability.

Big whoop. We’ve got multiple countries with undeclared nuclear capabilities, Iran has the support of multiple nuclear powers, the Ayatollah has been in power without nuking anyone for over 35 years, the US has arguably been a more consequential sponsor of Islamic terrorism in the region, and nobody begins to claim that they are an imminent nuclear threat to the US.

If Mossad had evidence, they’d have shared it with the world, but by treaty Iran is allowed both to have nuclear power programs and to enrich uranium.

If the Iranian military doesn’t step up to the plate and create a regime change, nothing will change. It has to be a home grown movement, not from people not in the country.

Women are creatures of circumstance. Men are creatures of purpose. One compromises with evil out of necessity. The other opposes evil out of necessity.

IF you had visited a stable Muslim-majority country you would notice the positive social stability and healthy families. Their societies are healthy. Hardly any graffiti, litter, anti-social public behavior, indecency, etc. Malaysia and Indonesia being two examples.
