A Coalition Of Non-Persian Ethnic Groups In Iran Could Topple The Ayatollahs' Regime In A Few Months

Memri13-06-2025

After Israel's June 12 strike on Iran, the need to support the non-Persian ethnic groups in the country to bring about the collapse of the Ayatollahs' regime has become clearer. A coalition of non-Persian ethnic groups could topple the regime in a few months. It is worth noting that, unlike the Persian anti-regime population, the non-Persian anti-regime population is militarily organized.
Concerning the Kurds, the following are their armed groups present on the ground ready to fight the Iranian regime: the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI), the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan (Komala), and the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK). These are well known political parties and armed groups: KDPI has been around since the 1940s and Komala since the 1960s. They can gather thousands of people. The Balochs have the Baloch Army, which is an umbrella organization that covers the whole of Balochistan and is led by the secular and committed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). The Ahwazi National Resistance is the secret armed group of Ahwaz. There are no Persian organized militarized anti-regime groups on the ground in Iran.[1]

Amid escalating regional tensions, a delegation from the Komala Kurdistan Party, headed by Secretary-General Mr. Reza Kaabi, conducted an official visit to the headquarters of the Executive Committee of the State of Ahwaz.[3]
The delegation was received by Dr. Aref Al-Kaabi, President of the Executive Committee of the State of Ahwaz.
The two sides held an extensive meeting during which they discussed the latest political and security developments in the region, with a particular focus on the rapidly evolving situation inside Iran.
The meeting addressed the shared challenges facing the non-Persian peoples of the region, chief among them the Kurdish and Ahwazi Arab peoples under Tehran's repressive policies toward ethnic minorities.
They also discussed the Iranian regime's ongoing attempts to export its internal crises through nuclear brinkmanship and regional military escalation.
Both parties emphasized the importance of strengthening political and media cooperation among liberation movements within Iran in order to support the right of peoples to self-determination and to work toward building strategic alliances that can realize their aspirations for freedom and independence.
The two delegations also stressed the need to capitalize on the current international climate to raise the voices of oppressed peoples on the global stage and to push for recognition of their legitimate rights in accordance with international conventions.
At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides affirmed their commitment to continued communication and coordination, and reiterated their unified stance on the future of Iran and its peoples based on a shared vision aimed at establishing democratic systems that guarantee justice and freedom for all components of the region.

IAEA calls emergency meeting after US strikes Iran's nuclear sites

Shafaq News/ The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) scheduled an emergency Board of Governors meeting to address the US airstrikes on Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced the session would be held Monday, without disclosing the agenda. In light of the urgent situation in Iran, I am convening an emergency meeting of the @IAEAorg Board of Governors for tomorrow. — Rafael Mariano Grossi (@rafaelmgrossi) June 22, 2025 In Tehran, Atomic Energy Organization chief Mohammad Eslami urged Grossi to publicly condemn the strikes, accusing the agency of remaining silent in the face of a clear violation of Iranian sovereignty. He insisted Iran would continue defending its rights. Satellite imagery published by The Washington Post revealed heightened activity at the Fordow facility ahead of the attack. On June 19, sixteen trucks were recorded entering the site, several positioned near underground access points. In the aftermath, CBS News reported that US officials contacted Tehran to de-escalate tensions, framing the strike as a limited action not aimed at regime change, with the Trump administration reportedly ruling out additional military operations.

UK distances itself from US strikes on Iran but confirms prior knowledge

Shafaq News/ The United Kingdom on Sunday confirmed it was informed in advance of US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but it played no role in the military operation. Speaking to Sky News, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds stated that while the US notified London ahead of the attacks, no request was made to use UK military assets, including the strategic base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. 'The British government was not involved in these strikes,' Reynolds said, adding that London had been preparing 'for all eventualities' in the region. Prime Minister Keir Starmer echoed the government's cautious stance, distancing the UK from the operation while expressing concern over Iran's nuclear program. 'Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat,' he said in a statement, urging Iran to return to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. Reynolds emphasized that the UK had bolstered its military readiness in recent days, deploying additional jets and increasing force protection levels to safeguard personnel and regional interests. 'We will take all action necessary to defend our key allies if they come under threat,' he said, noting that Prime Minister Starmer was in talks with international partners to coordinate a response. Defense Secretary John Healey confirmed heightened security measures, stating, 'The safety of UK personnel and bases is my top priority. Force protection is at its highest level.' The strikes, carried out by the United States, came days after British, French, and German foreign ministers held unsuccessful talks with their Iranian counterpart in a final push to avert escalation. Starmer is scheduled to continue consultations with allies before traveling to The Hague for the NATO summit later this week, where the Iran crisis is expected to feature prominently on the agenda. 'Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, but we need a diplomatic process to turn this around,' Reynolds asserted.

US Embassy confirms phased personnel departure

Shafaq News/ The US Embassy in Baghdad confirmed, on Sunday, that it began a phased departure of some personnel earlier this month. A spokesperson for the US Embassy told Shafaq News, 'On June 12, out of an abundance of caution and due to heightened regional tensions, US Mission Iraq began the orderly departure of some personnel.' 'As part of our ongoing effort to streamline operations, additional personnel departed Iraq on June 21 and 22,' the spokesperson added. The US State Department, according to the spokesperson, continues to assess the security environment across Iraq and reiterated that 'there is no higher priority than the safety and security of US citizens at home and abroad.' While the staff reduction has sparked speculation about Washington's long-term presence in Iraq, the embassy underscored that it remains fully operational and coordinates closely with Iraqi authorities. The evacuation came hours after US airstrikes targeted three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—in what President Donald Trump called 'precise and successful operations.'
