The partial blockade of Bamako is still in effect by the JNIM, with visual confirmation that the National Road 3 is being blocked as recently as yesterday.

The regime has not yet denied those claims.

This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime. To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided.

Dealing with this regime will fail and we will all face the consequences. The regime’s 47-year war against the Iranian people continues. Just as it has never made peace with its own citizens, it will never truly make peace with the world.

The international community should back the people of Iran’s fight for freedom. Put them center in any negotiations and in their Iran policy. But let me be clear - with or without international support - this regime will fall. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny," - Reza Pahlavi, a semi-popular Iranian opposition figure on X.
