Iran Regime’s Terrorism and Propaganda Go Hand-in-Hand, and Both Must Be Shut Down
Despite the efforts by the Iranian regime and its apologists, there is a viable alternative to the mullahs’ regime. In the first weeks of 2018, when the Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei acknowledged that the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI-MEK), had played a leading role in organizing and facilitating the protests that comprised a nationwide uprising at the start of that year. Khamenei’s remarks, along with his regime’s terrorist attempts against the Iranian Resistance and ongoing campaign of disinformation, confirms MEK’s leading role inside Iran.

In addition, the global recognition of the Iranian Resistance has been growing, for a long time before that uprising began. This is evident from the large and politically diverse group of foreign dignitaries that appear each summer at the international rally organized by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, this event was held online in 2020. Several dozen American and European lawmakers delivered speeches to the live-streamed rally over the course of three days.
Since summer, NCRI has held several online conferences which aimed to bring more international attention to some of Tehran’s specific malign activities, while also urging the adoption of international policies that would better address those issues. To counter Resistance popularity both inside an outside of Iran, the Iranian regime has increased its demonizing campaign of the MEK and NCRI.
In public, the clerical regime has always maintained that the PMOI (MEK) is a “grouplet” and poses no meaningful challenge to the mullahs’ hold on power. That claim was arguably made plausible by the massacre of political prisoners in 1988, at which time the PMOI comprised the vast majority of the estimated 30,000 victims. The regime has ever since continued oppressing members and supporters of the MEK. In fact, any connection with the MEK could lead to death.
