Iran’s Kurdish and other Opposition forces to the theocracy in Iran Have United

Good news! Were it not for the joined domestic and abroad Iranian opposition that the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was toppled in 1979, but unfortunately the Islamists took control/over and established a theocratic dictatorship.

Let's hope and pray that the days of the Islamic Republic of Iran are numbered!

"The Iran Freedom Congress (IFC) was founded in London in March 2026 to bring together opponents of the Islamic Republic around two goals: increasing political and economic pressure on the regime and preparing for a democratic transition if it falls. Its members have engaged with European lawmakers to push for measures including limiting financial ties with Tehran and pressuring the regime over executions, while also confronting the question of what should replace it and how a transition should be managed.

The Congress is not a government-in-exile, and participation does not require its members to agree on every political issue. It is an Iran-wide opposition platform that brings together political parties, civic groups, and individual figures to develop common positions on Iran’s future. Among its participants are three parties from Iran’s Kurdish region, known among Kurds as Rojhelat, or Eastern Kurdistan.

Those Kurdish parties are simultaneously part of another, narrower political project. In February, most of the major parties from Rojhelat formed their own coalition in an attempt to coordinate Kurdish political strategy after decades of rivalry. ..."

Iran’s Kurdish Opposition Has United. Can the Coalition Hold? "The parties agree on opposing the Islamic Republic. They are less clear on what acting together actually requires."
