International Free Iran Summit 2025 – Rome, Italy: Global Voices Support Iranian People and Organized Resistanc
Rome, July 31, 2025 — The third Free Iran World Summit convened in Rome, drawing an international coalition of political leaders, diplomats, and human rights advocates who voiced support for regime change in Iran. The summit focused on condemning Tehran’s mass executions, denouncing crimes against humanity, and backing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and its Ten-Point Plan proposed by Maryam Rajavi.
Speakers—including former EU Council President Charles Michel, Italy’s ex-PM Matteo Renzi, UK’s James Cleverly, and US figures Rudy Giuliani and Linda Chavez—praised the NCRI and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) as the only organized democratic alternative. They called for the blacklisting of the IRGC, cessation of appeasement, and global recognition of the Iranian people's right to resist dictatorship.
Maryam Rajavi, the keynote speaker, honored recent PMOI martyrs and reaffirmed that Iran’s future lies in democracy, gender equality, and a secular, non-nuclear state. She warned of renewed mass executions and urged international support not through military intervention, but via recognition of Iranians’ legitimate struggle.
The summit concluded with emotional tributes, urgent calls for accountability for the 1988 massacre, and a rallying cry to support Iran’s Resistance Units. Former UN rapporteur Javaid Rehman and former German Ambassador Hans Ulrich Seidt warned that the regime is at its weakest and that global silence could lead to repeated atrocities.
The Rome summit left no doubt: the path to a free Iran runs through the resistance of its people and the leadership of Maryam Rajavi.
