As I accept this award tonight, I do so not just for myself. This honor belongs to the people of Iran. They are the true architects of peace. For decades, they have endured unimaginable suffering under a brutal regime that has sought to extinguish their hopes and dreams. Yet despite everything, they continue to rise, they continue to fight for the realization of our great civilization.

Today we are on the precipice of history, not only for our nations and our people but for civilization. We find ourselves on this precipice in the middle of a fortnight that is crudely illustrative of exactly what is at stake: just days removed from the second anniversary of the murder of Mahsa Amini and the slaughter of hundreds of Iranian protesters and days from the first anniversary of October 7th and the mass-murder of hundreds of Israeli civilians.

The lifting of international economic and financial sanctions, which were imposed on the people of Iran as a result of provocative and destabilizing policies of the theocratic regime, could be a reason to rejoice.

Only a pariah state would be so lawless as to allow an attack on a defenseless embassy and its diplomats. The Islamic Republic also holds this dubious record as well. The Iran National Council strongly condemns this organized and pre-planned attack on the Saudi embassy by elements of the Islamic Republic’s security apparatus and mob, also known as the militia in civilian clothes

While our precious national resources are being utilized by the clerical regime to export revolution, the Iranian people are being left without access to basic necessities, rapidly losing a standard of living that was once the envy of many around the world, and they live in a state of perpetual tyranny.

The quest for freedom, democracy and human rights. This is an issue of epic proportions, but given our short time together this evening, I wish to share with you my thoughts on the path, rather than the obvious merits of our collective desire to achieve this goal.

For those of us who have devoted our entire lives to the cause of democracy and human rights in Iran, we had hoped to avoid this day and these tragic consequences. As it turned out, the events surrounding the fraudulent election in June 2009 caused the people of Iran to reach their point of no return, and the regime to abandon all pretenses of faith, national pride, and humanity.
