Kamāl Ja‘fari Yazdi, civil activist and political prisoner, in a note points to the intensifying economic crisis and writes that the remains of the Islamic Republic must surrender to the Iranian people

Kamāl Ja‘fari Yazdi, a civil activist and a political prisoner, in a note referring to the worsening economic crisis, rising public discontent, and the continuing efforts of the government to hold on to power, wrote: “The remnants of the Islamic Republic must surrender to the Iranian people; otherwise, in the end they will surrender to the United States.”

In a note that IranWire has received a copy of, he stressed that efforts such as reforms, reforming, and “shedding its skin,” as well as bringing back figures such as Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, are no longer effective, and that the government must either hand power over to secular democratic republicans inside the country or, in the end, submit to the demands of the republicans in America.
