Joint Statement of 18 Organizations and Parties

of Oppressed and Occupied Nations under the Rule of the Occupying Regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran

In Support of the Nationwide Uprising and a Call for Broader Active Participation of Nations

We, the representatives of the oppressed and occupied nations within the political geography under the rule of the occupying regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the undersigned of this statement, with a clear understanding of our historical responsibility at this critical and decisive moment, hereby declare our firm, explicit, and unconditional support for the nationwide uprising and the widespread demonstrations of the nations.

What is unfolding today in the streets and public squares is not merely a protest against economic conditions or limited demands; rather, it is the conscious uprising of nations for freedom, human dignity, and the realization of the right to self-determination—a right that for decades has been systematically denied to the oppressed nations of “Iran” and replaced instead with repression, discrimination, occupation of lands, and the denial of national identities.

This uprising is the direct result of the repressive, centralist, and occupying policies of the ruling regime—a regime that has lost its political, moral, and human legitimacy and sustains itself solely through violence and intimidation.

We, as organizations and parties representing oppressed nations, believe that the moment of historical determination has arrived. Therefore, we call upon all oppressed and occupied nations to participate in nationwide demonstrations and field actions with broader, more organized, more independent, more conscious, and more united presence, and to declare their collective will to the world with a single voice.

The objectives of this uprising are clear, fundamental, and non-negotiable:

• The complete overthrow of the occupying and authoritarian regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran
• An end to policies of national, cultural, and linguistic discrimination
• The full guarantee of the human, political, and national rights of nations
• And most importantly, the recognition of the right to self-determination of nations as a legitimate, fundamental, and irreversible principle

We warn against any attempt to divert, appropriate, or contain this uprising by opportunistic forces or projects aimed at reproducing Persian chauvinist domination, and we emphasize that the political future of this geography must be shaped solely on the basis of the free will of nations, without any form of guardianship, imposition, or domination.

In conclusion, we call upon the international community, international institutions, human rights organizations, and free media to stand alongside the oppressed nations, to amplify their voices, and not to remain silent in the face of repression, killings, and the systematic violation of human rights by the occupying regime of Iran.

Victory belongs to the united and resistant nations.

Freedom is our inalienable right.

The right to self-determination is the shared and undeniable demand of oppressed nations.
