We Don’t Wait for Permission —Iranians Must Lead Their Own Democratic ChangeGround attack, not yetRûken Nexede,
the senior commander of the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), told reporters from France24 in the mountains of Kurdistan that his party is ready to confront the Islamic Republic of Iran and defend the rights of the Kurdish people by any means, even without help from the United States or other countries.
Nexede said, “What matters most to us is changing the current situation into a democratic Iran. We are not waiting for permission from any country; the people of Iran must play the main role in changing their own country.”
PJAK has not decided on a ground attack and continues its military activities cautiously, but remains ready for any potential threat.
Nexede also emphasized that the ultimate goal of her party is not just to support the Kurdish people, but to achieve a free and democratic Iran where all ethnic groups, including Kurds, can enjoy their rights.
