International Support
As the activities of the Resistance Units have intensified, they have garnered significant international attention.
In 2024, a notable endorsement came from 4,000 lawmakers across 50 countries, including majorities in 34 parliaments. This group, along with 137 former heads of state, government officials, ambassadors, and leaders of international organisations, voiced their support for the Resistance Units. They issued a statement affirming, “As the Iranian regime has blocked all political avenues for change, the free world must, consistent with internationally recognised laws based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, recognise the rights of the Iranian people and the MEK Resistance Units to rise up and confront the IRGC.”
Additionally, many international dignitaries have actively voiced their support for the Resistance Units during various international conferences held in Europe and the United States. These expressions of support have taken place in speeches and discussions where policymakers, scholars, and influencers gather to debate and strategize on global political issues. The endorsement of the Resistance Units by these figures not only amplifies the visibility of their cause but also adds a layer of legitimacy and international backing that is crucial for their efforts. This international engagement highlights the growing recognition and significance of the Resistance Units as a pivotal force in the struggle for change in Iran.
