The 12 Principles of the Munich Convergence
A framework for unity and action towards a free Iran
Overthrow of the Islamic Republic
We seek the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and the re-establishment of a national government in Iran. We believe that achieving this goal requires a national revolution. We commit to cooperating with one another for the victory of this revolution.
Iran's Unity and Indivisibility
Iran is one united and indivisible nation. The territorial integrity and unity of the Iranian nation are non-negotiable. This is the foundation for any political cooperation aimed at saving Iran.
Secular Democracy and Rule of Law
We are committed to establishing a rule-of-law government based on secular democracy. Such a government must ensure and protect the fundamental human rights of all citizens.
People's Right to Choose
We defend the inalienable right of the Iranian people to choose the future system of government. This must be done through free, democratic, and fair elections.
Right to Self-Defense
While we prefer nonviolence, we recognize the people's right to legitimate self-defense. In the face of the Islamic Republic's organized and brutal violence, we affirm the people's right to protect themselves and one another.
Maximum Pressure Strategy
We support a strategy of maximum pressure on the regime, maximum support for the people, and maximum internal collapse. We commit to exposing the truth about the regime's crimes and pursuing transitional justice through a transparent and international process.
Foreign Policy Based on National Interest
After the fall of the Islamic Republic, Iran's foreign policy must be based on national interest, peace, and regional stability. Iran must engage constructively with all nations of the world.
Economic Rebuilding
We believe in rebuilding Iran's economy based on sustainability, equal opportunity, and public well-being. Every Iranian should have a stake in this future.
Civil and Social Liberties
We uphold the civil and social liberties of all Iranians. This includes freedom of expression, religion, media, assembly, belief, gender identity, and protection from all forms of discrimination.
Environmental and Cultural Preservation
We are committed to preserving Iran's environment, wildlife, natural resources, and cultural heritage. In this path, the role of a future national government, alongside the people and civil institutions, is essential.
Leadership of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi
We support Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi as the leader of the national movement and transitional period. Until a democratic government is elected through free elections and the first national parliament is formed, we will support him with full force.
Lion and Sun Flag as National Symbol
We recognize the Lion and Sun flag of Iran as our national symbol. It reflects our deep historical continuity and national unity. We stand united under this flag in our fight for freedom.
