In a second speech at the European Parliament, PDKI leder Mustafa Hijri addressed the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, calling for a democratic, federal, and secular alternative to Iran’s theocratic regime. Speaking in Kurdish, a deliberate assertion of a language long suppressed in Iran, Hijri framed his choice as an act of recognition for Iran’s denied nations.
Hijri described Iran’s crisis as structural: a non-civic state that has repeatedly blocked freedom, first under the monarchy’s forced Persianization and later through the religious monopolism of the Islamic Republic. He warned that the current regime poses not only a domestic but a global threat, citing its record of repression and violence as evidence of an authoritarian system beyond reform.
Presenting the PDKI’s vision, Hijri argued that true stability and unity in Iran depend on democracy, federalism, and secular governance, principles proven in diverse nations worldwide. He underscored that federalism safeguards, rather than endangers, territorial integrity by granting all peoples a genuine stake in a shared future.
Hijri also underlined that the Kurdish movement’s enduring ideals—Jin, Jiyan, Azadî (Woman, Life, Freedom), as a moral foundation for building a free and peaceful Iran rooted in justice and equality among its nations.
The Alliance of Political Parties of Iranian Kurdistan held a high-level meeting on Monday afternoon, during which senior members convened to address critical organizational and strategic matters.
The meeting covered a broad agenda, including an in-depth assessment of the current political landscape in Iran and Kurdistan, as well as an evaluation of the repercussions of ongoing conflict and evolving political developments in the region. Key administrative decisions were reached, including the ratification of the Alliance’s internal bylaws, the official approval of its logo, and the establishment of guiding principles for managing field operations during the transitional period.
Diplomatic strategy and the Alliance’s external representation and public profile abroad were also discussed at length. The meeting concluded with the formal handover of the Alliance’s rotating leadership to the next designated party, underscoring the organization’s commitment to structured and democratic internal governance.

In an interview with CBS News, Mustafa Hijri, the secretary-general of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (#PDKI), welcomed the idea of foreign strikes against the Iranian regime’s centers of repression. He said such actions should “hit the centers of the suppressing forces who are shooting people on the streets,” as well as the regime’s so-called “justice” institutions, which he described as serving the government’s oppressive apparatus.
Hijri added that Kurdistan Peshmerga forces—including trained Kurdish Peshmerga fighters positioned across the border—are ready to return “when the day comes,” once conditions are deemed favorable for supporting the broader struggle inside Iran.
