Charting a Path to Freedom
The Iran Prosperity Project presents this Booklet as a blueprint for the first 180 days following the fall of the Islamic Republic, serving as a practical guide to Iran's transition to freedom and stability.
Created by experts from within Iran and the diaspora, it draws on firsthand knowledge to address the urgent challenges of governance, security, the economy, and society in the immediate post-regime period.
Central to this framework are democratic mechanisms: a referendum to determine the system of government, the election of a Constituent Assembly, and elections for the Mehestan (Parliament).
