Maryam Rajavi's poster hanged in Tehran
Make no mistake, the Iranian Regime is absolutely terrified of not just the Iranian people, but also the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK). This fear can be seen in the pro-regime protests that the mullahs organized, where paid protesters held signs like “Green Movement is supporter of Rajavi”, and in the many comments from Regime leaders themselves.
It seems like even the Iranian Regime is being forced to admit that the Iranian Resistance is incredibly popular amongst the Iranian people.
In early January, Supreme Leder Ali Khamenei said that the protest had been organized by the MEK months ago. He was trying to imply that the Iranian people had been manipulated by enemies of the Regime- apparently forgetting that the Iranian people are enemies of the Regime- but he, in fact, showed that he knew how popular the MEK was amongst the Iranian people.

Iran Regime's Fear and Frustration Over People's Uprising by Chanting Against PMOI/MEK

This was further underlined by the actions of President Hassan Rouhani. French President Emmanuel Macron phoned Rouhani, on January 3, to express his concern over the unrest in Iran, specifically violence against the demonstrators, called for “restraint”, and underscored the Iranian people’s right to peacefully protest.
Rouhani is response asked Macron to take action against the Iranian Resistance coalition based in Paris- the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which has the MEK as its largest member- for creating the protests.

The Regime consistently paints the MEK as a fringe group, so how could they possibly stir up the anti-regime protests and why would Macron act against them?

Mullah Alam al-Hoda, the member of regime’s Assembly of Experts and representative of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, even told the Iranian people not to heed the calls to take to the streets by NCRI leader Maryam Rajavi.

Reza Seraj, an IRGC intelligence official Fars News Agency, tried to play off the protests as orchestrated by the US but admitted that the MEK is being shown support, while Commander Mohammad Amirkhani from the IRGC, highlighted the MEK’s media outlets as helping to promote the protests.

The Regime-affiliated Tasnim Qods force News Agency even linked it to 2009’s Green Movement, which was also supported and participated in by members of the MEK.

Other high-ranking members who have admitted that the MEK is clearly active within Iran and involved in the protests, included: IRGC Brigadier General Mohsen Rezaee, secretary of the Expediency Council, and former head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps- Fars News Agency, and Zarei, head of the country's mobilization of lecturers at Tarbiat Modares University.

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism 21 February 2018 Iran Focus London, 21 Feb - In recent years, when the US has made statements against Iran-backed Hezbollah, they have often followed this up with support for the Lebanese army and security forces, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is little, if any, distinction between the Lebanese state and the Iran-backed terrorist group. When US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Beirut, last Thursday, Hezbollah had created two new problems with Israel: a southern border wall and the debates over oil and gas extraction. This caused Tillerson to make the US position on Hezbollah very clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation with no difference between its military and political wings. He advised that Hezbollah and Iran were creating tensions in the region in order to destabilise the Middle East. Iran seeks the destruction to distract others from its own problems, both domestic and international. It not only ta...
Iran-Backed Hezbollah Accuses Saudi Arabia of Arresting Lebanon Prime Minister10 November 2017 Iran Focus London, 10 Nov - The Secretary-General of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group is blaming Saudi Arabia for the shock resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri this weekend with no actual evidence to back up his claims. Hassan Nasrallah claimed that Hariri has been arrested in Riyadh, even claiming to be seriously worried about Hariri’s safety and calling upon Saudi Arabia to “give us back our prime minister”. This is, of course, designed to detract attention from the reasons that Hariri actually gave for his resignation in a speech on Saturday from Saudi Arabia. Hariri said that he feared that the Iranian Regime and Hezbollah were going to assassinate him, as they did to his father in 2005, when under the orders of Mustafa Badr al-Din.
