The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an anti-Iranian regime group, on Saturday announced the formation of a provisional government after the U.S.-Israeli operation against the Islamic regime. The NCRI said its goal is to “transfer sovereignty to the people of Iran and establish a democratic republic.” The group outlined a ten-point plan for the future of the country. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the NCRI, recently spoke about the group’s vision for Iran.

NCRI has described itself as a “parliament in exile.” “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other forces tasked with preserving the regime must lay down their arms and surrender to the people,” Rajavi said in a statement, according to The Washington Times. “Only the people of Iran possess the legitimacy to determine the political future of their country,” she added. The National Council of Resistance of Iran on Saturday announced the formation of a provisional government amid the U.S.-Israeli attack on the Islamic republic regime. https://t.co/KXxV9x44hk — The Washington Times (@WashTimes) February 28, 2026 More from The Washington Times: Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the late shah, also called on Iran’s military and security forces to protect Iran and its people, rather than the Islamic republic and its leaders. “Your duty is to defend the people, not to defend a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime,” he said Saturday in a statement. “Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei’s ship and his crumbling regime.” Mr. Pahlavi called the U.S.-Israel military operation a “humanitarian intervention” and that the final victory in Iran will be secured by its people. “It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish this task in the final battle. The Time to return to the streets is approaching,” he said.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) broke from many of his Democratic colleagues and praised President Trump for the air strikes conducted on Iran. “Operation Epic Fury. President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region. God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel,” Fetterman said. Operation Epic Fury. President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region. God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel. — U.S. Senator John Fetterman (@SenFettermanPA) February 28, 2026 Fox News shared further: Trump’s U.S. military armada in the Middle East, working in concert with Israel, is targeting military targets and ballistic missile sites that pose an “imminent threat,” a U.S. official told Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin. The U.S. military is not targeting Iran’s leadership, but Israel is, the official added. Strikes hit the compound home of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, in downtown Tehran on Saturday morning. And Trump issued a video statement on social media, urging Iranian people to get out of the way for now, but “when we are finished, take over your government; It will be yours to take.” “To actually create real peace, you have to do these kinds of actions,” Fetterman said. “Sometimes, peace is possible after these kinds of steps,” he continued. “I’m proud to stand with our military and Israel through this,” Fetterman commented. Watch below: JUST IN: Democrat Sen. John Fetterman just CALLED OUT those who oppose the strikes on Iran, saying President Trump is a REAL peacemaker because he does it through action Wow! "I might be a Democrat, but the president is correct!" "I FULL support it…I am proud to stand… pic.twitter.com/QKXiMIN679 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 28, 2026 POLITICO has more: Progressives castigated the president for pursuing “dangerously illegal,” “totally unnecessary” and potentially “catastrophic” military action when diplomacy was still on the table. Some, including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), declared “no war with Iran.” But several lawmakers from battleground districts adopted a more cautious tone, calling for Trump to justify his actions to Congress but stopping short of demanding an end to the operation. And moderate Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), both staunch supporters of Israel, which aided the U.S. in the strikes, praised Trump for defending national security and being “willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region.” Gottheimer also requested a classified briefing and said he expects Trump to “comply with the War Powers Act.” The breaks in their responses reveal the underlying divisions that have shadowed the party for two decades, and the challenge Democrats face in presenting a unified foreign policy message ahead of the midterms, where Trump’s aggressive use of the military could become a defining flashpoint. “There’s always been a peace wing to the Democratic Party and there’s always been a more interventionist wing to the party. That has narrowed over time, but it is still there,” said veteran Democratic strategist Mark Longabaugh. Democratic lawmakers split over the Iraq vote in 2002, the Yemen war powers vote in 2019 and the first Trump administration’s strike on Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in 2020.

The IRGC and Basij are reportedly murdering people who are celebrating in Sabzevar. Celebrations are premature given the murderous bands of militants still on the loose. It’s not over yet.
