The issue which has been the biggest obstacle for Iranians to achieve their goals in removal of Islamic regime’s tyranny and establishment of a true democracy, is not mystery to anyone! If we speak to any Iranian opposing Islamic regime, at leas 8 out of 10 will tell you that there is a need for unity in order to do this and yet, no one seems to know how! Unfortunately, this is the only conclusion that can be drawn because if we knew, then something should have been done by now!

There is a lot of talks by everyone of us! We are all champions of democracy in words and we all know the best for our nation but, when it comes to tolerating each other’s views and working side by side in direction of a common goal for our nation, we all fail miserably! No doubt that infiltration of opposition by Islamic republic’s elements are an important factor but why should we expect them not to try to stop us and not to try to mislead our efforts in direction of starting a united front against them?! They are killing people inside the country for speaking up against them and committing worst atrocities against our nation to protect themselves, why should we not expect them to create problems for opposition outside the country which has been able to successfully reveal their criminal nature to the world?

A recent report provided by senator Newt Gingrich to a US senate subcommittee regarding the threats that the free world is facing by Islamic regime of Iran, shows that western government officials are well aware of the criminal nature of this regime and what it has done, and continues to do, to Iranians. It is only reasonable to expect the details of this information go a lot deeper than what has openly been discussed in the US senate. Having this amount of accurate information regarding the atrocities committed by Islamic regime’s authorities and their involvement in international terrorism and misleading the world about their nuclear ambitions has only become possible mostly through activities of Iranian foreign based opposition.

Every group of foreign based Iranian opposition has a share in making the world aware of Islamic regime’s criminal activities! And this of course has been done through publicity works of every individual group in different ways.

In recent months, civilized world has eventually reached this conclusion that, Islamic regime has become a burden for peace and stability of the whole world rather than a salvation for the interests of westerners in their universal ideological war against an arch enemy! This is one of the rare occasions when the interests of westerners become parallel to the interests of our nation in removal of the tyrannical Islamic regime in our country! What should we do in order to take advantage of this opportunity for the interest of our nation? Once again, we may think about “unity”!

During past couple of decades, all kinds of unusual notions have been promoted by some Iranians about “not to prescribe anything from outside the country regarding the political and social issues” in order to discourage us, outsiders, to try even speaking about what needs to be done! In a world which a handful of votes by people can change the outcome of most important political events in most important country of the world, how can eight to ten percent of Iranian population who reside outside the country, be irrelevant in the affairs of their own nation? This idea seems to have been most helpful to Islamic regime which resorts to anything in order to nullify the activities and effect of opposition outside the country.

The time is crucial and opportunity is there! It’s time to prescribe the bitter medicine of unity for reluctant opposition so it can become a relevant entity with positive influence in the affairs of our nation in direction of removal of the “evil regime” and starting a true democracy! This is why I am writing these words today to say to those who think of themselves as a positive force in this great cause, if you want to be taken serious by the world then, pull your sleeves up and come together and start working! There is no time to waste!

How to achieve the unity?

Unity of opposition in start of the process to remove Islamic regime in Iran, has been spoken about by many while each have given a different interpretation for it! Some of those who consider themselves even monarchists and followers of Prince Reza Pahlavi, while claiming to want unity, do not waste any time on getting at the throat of anyone whom they consider unwanted in this unity and the stranger thing is that the number of unwanted is not small either! This unfortunately goes for others too! It seems to be an accepted trend by many of those who consider themselves a republican or a communist to completely dismiss others who, to their view, are following an obsolete ideology of having a constitutional monarchy and following Prince Reza Pahlavi! And of course we have others who neither agree with any of these nor offer anything of themselves! At the end, no one is able to stand beside the other, even to express their protest against a common problem which has happened many times!

In order to achieve unity over a common goal among opposition, we first need to “recognize” our own differences and realize that democracy will not be possible unless we accept that there are other people who think different than us! By denying the existence of others, whether we like them or not, they will not go away and implementing democracy will definitely be facing with problems! Prince Reza Pahlavi and the name of Pahlavi, is part of Iran’s history which, to many people, is associated with a lot of good things that have been done by Pahlavis for our nation. Others may not agree but this disagreement should not stand in our way to a better future in which, we all can enforce our will through the tools at our exposal in a democratic society.

One of the most important elements to make a united opposition more effective when it comes to communication with people inside the country, is the familiarity and charisma of a communicator who is reliable and worthy of trust! There is no doubt that all opposition groups have been active in political fight against the brutal Islamic regime but having a name which is associated with Iran’s history and a figure who is not affected by any guilt and never been associated with any wrongdoing is extremely important in this phase of struggle. As part of a “realistic” opposition, if we do not want to resort to innuendo in order to promote our own agenda instead of working with others in direction of a common national goal, then we should realize that Prince Reza Pahlavi can be a pillar to this unity with all the specifications that we need to convey opposition messages to our people inside the country and also to the politicians and leaders of the world!

It is the responsibility of all opposition groups to realize the importance of this matter and make proper decision in order to take the first step in reaching an alternative for the evil Islamic regime in our country! The speech made by senator Newt Gingrich in US senate and other events in western world related to our nation shows that, if Iranian opposition does not make a move fast enough then they will make that move on our behalf in any manner they like! Those in opposition who are talking about a secular democratic state but have never taken a serious step towards getting closer with others who even hold the same ideas, should understand that western world will not wait for them and, the resolution that westerners can provide maybe good for their own interests but not necessarily for our nation! Recently we have seen some American politicians even consulting with people who are after disintegration of our homeland with the excuse of ethnic oppressions of Islamic regime. The integrity of our nation is at stake and Islamic regime will be in no position to prevent that as they do not care for anything but the continuity of their own system!

This is a call upon all of those who want to do something for our nation, Monarchists, Republicans, Constitutionalists, Communists and all others who care to work in direction of freedom of our nation from the evil of Islamic regime in our country, to declare your readiness for this great cause! Put your words into action and let the dream of our nation for liberty, democracy and progress materialize! Prince Reza Pahlavi has given his words in his “contract with the nation” (meesaagh baa mardom) and it’s time for elite of our society in all political groups to show understanding of the historical opportunity which is in our reach and act upon it! This will guaranty that no one will be able to impose a tyrannical system on our people any more, no matter who!

RP is probably the best person to lead all the groups, because he has the best name recognition inside and outside Iran. If all the groups could accept RP's contract and word, that he will not impose himself on the country unless voted by the people, then unity and progress become possible
