The information revealed detailed the ministry’s coordinated effort with intelligence agencies to discredit the People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK) through propagation of false information.

The leaked documents reveal a deep-seated fear within the Iranian regime of its primary opposition, the MEK. It shows the active involvement of multiple ministries, especially a “political committee” within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in devising strategies to counter the MEK and curb its global activities. One key strategy involved lobbying for the MEK’s blacklisting in the European Union, which would hinder their operations.

Upon thorough assessment, however, the “political committee” concluded that it would be unfeasible to reclassify the MEK as a terrorist organization within the European Union’s existing legal framework. This was due to the stringent requirement of submitting documents that substantiate the organization’s involvement in acts of terrorism, which the MEK is not accused of committing.

 

 

The documents unveiled Tehran’s apprehension that their attempts to re-list the MEK in the foreign terrorist organizations roster may fail given the current political landscape. This revelation further affirms that the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, sought to exploit political leverage to blacklist its dissidents, hence justifying its crimes against them.

The MEK, recognized as a viable alternative and a serious threat to the Iranian regime, has been the target of a demonization campaign, which saw billions of dollars of people’s wealth wasted in an effort to blacklist the organization in European countries.

The previous terrorist designation of the MEK was baseless and unjust, permitting the regime to freely target the organization and its members both within and outside Iran. Following extensive investigations and scrutiny of numerous documents, courts in the European Union and the United States revoked the terrorist designation imposed on the MEK.

 

 

The leaked documents provide compelling evidence of the Iranian regime’s desperate attempts to suppress its opposition. The hackers’ breach of government databases reveals a regime in fear of its people’s call for freedom and democracy, shining a light on the machinations of a government willing to go to any lengths to maintain its control.

Dr. Jung made his remarks at a rally of supporters of the Iranian Resistance in Munich on February 17, where he praised the ongoing protests in Iran for democracy and human rights, which have lasted for five months. Speaking to a crowd of activists, politicians, and economists, Dr. Jung expressed his support for the Iranian people’s desire for freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, while also noting the threat that the Iranian regime poses to international security. He stated that the nationwide uprising of the Iranian people for the past five months has caused a rethink at the Munich Security Conference, leading to the regime’s disinvitation.

 

 

Dr. Mosadeq’s most significant achievement was the nationalization of the British oil holdings in Iran, which had been a source of contention for many years. He almost succeeded in toppling the Shah and establishing a democratic government in Iran. However, his efforts were thwarted by the 19 August 1953 Coup d’état, which brought an end to the democratic movement in Iran.

The coup marked the resurgence of Shah’s rule and the revival of the monarchy. The mullahs in Iran gained new life as well, enjoying the support of the Shah. This support was one of the factors that helped Ayatollah Khomeini become the real heir to Shah’s throne and a direct result of the Pahlavi dictatorship.

In the 1940s, the clergy was on the brink of decline, but the Pahlavi rule resuscitated it and suppressed students and intellectuals, who were seen as a threat to the mullahs’ outlook. The Shah’s regime also censored books and the media, making it a time of fear and repression in Iran.

 

 

 

The events of 1953 and the rise of Shah’s rule marked a significant turning point in Iran’s political history and had far-reaching consequences for the country. The coup d’état against Dr. Mosadeq’s democratic government and the resurgence of the monarchy marked the end of the democratic movement in Iran and the beginning of a new era of repression and fear.

Tahereh Bejervani’s detention has been extended for another month due to her refusal to submit to interrogation and make forced confessions.

Tahereh Bejervani called her family on January 1 to inform them that she was being held in Evin Prison’s Ward 209 at the time. She claimed she had only been interrogated once during her detention. According to social media reports, security forces pressed Ms. Bejervani to accept fabricated charges.

What the regime envisioned as a tool to suppress society backfired, as protests continued both inside and outside Iran. Locals took to the streets in Tehran and other cities, chanting anti-regime slogans. Defiant youth sprayed graffiti on walls across Iran, vowing to follow in the footsteps of Karami, Hosseini, and the other 750 martyrs of the nationwide uprising.

 

 

The IRGC-affiliated news agency published today a statement by the regime’s Ministry of Intelligence claiming to have identified and arrested the main elements of the “largest network of financing and supply of equipment for the operational teams” of the PMOI.

The statement claims: “This extensive network was responsible for transferring money from abroad through complicated money laundering methods and providing various equipment for the terrorist-operational teams of the Monafeqin (i.e., PMOI). The leader of the network, Ali Mohammad Dowlati, son of Gholam Hossein, is one of the important elements of the Monafeqin and has offices and institutions in the UAE and the Netherlands.

Taking advantage of the cooperation between Albania, the UAE, and the Netherlands, he provided operational guidelines and the necessary disguise for financing and providing logistics to the terrorists. Inside the country, several offices, institutions, and liaisons, via Monafeqin affiliates, conducted the process of handing over money and supplies through contacts abroad and carrying out multi-layered processes of money laundering with the aim of cleansing traces of the Monafeqin, and finally used to deliver money, weapons, explosives and technology, and telecommunications equipment to terrorist teams, and even recruited thugs (to launch) the recent riots.

 

 

Among those arrested is the father of a member of a terrorist operational team who had been arrested nearly three years ago, and his arrest led to widespread attacks against the security and judiciary apparatuses by the media affiliated with the opposition due to his affiliation with an important technology university.”

 

The MOIS finishes its statement by threatening the POMI’s host countries, including Albania, the Netherlands, and the UAE, that PMOI’s presence in these countries “does not and will not bear any result other than fomenting illegal and terrorist activities in those countries.”

It is worth reminding that Miryousef Younesi, a political prisoner under Shah’s dictatorship and current clerical rule, and the father of Ali Younesi, an elite student of Sharif University of Technology, who has been behind bars since 33 months ago, was arrested in Shahrood on December 28. He had spent three years in prison during Shah’s time and nine years during the current regime’s rule because of his support and association with the PMOI. The MOIS’s false excuses and claims against him and other detainees are the regime’s known methods of confronting the Iranian Resistance and uprising for the past 40 years.

 

 

 

The PMOI and NCRI lawyers, as well as the parliamentary committees for a Free Iran in various countries around the world, demand to attend trials of those arrested in the financial case and thousands of others who, according to the statement of the December 27 of the PMOI’s Social Headquarters inside Iran, were arrested in the first 100 days of the uprising due to their connections with the PMOI.

Following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman arrested by morality police in Tehran on September 13 for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code for women, the Iranian people continued their nationwide uprising for the 105th day on Thursday. In response to the event, protests erupted in at least 280 cities. According to sources from the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the regime’s forces have killed over 750 people and arrested over 30,000. The MEK has released the names of 601 protesters who were killed.

On the same day, residents gathered in Tehran’s famous Beheshte Zahra Cemetery to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hamidreza Rouhi’s death at the hands of the regime’s security forces. The ceremony quickly devolved into an anti-regime rally, with participants chanting anti-mullah slogans such as “Death to Khamenei!” and “Death to the dictator!” The area was surrounded by security forces. Participants in the ceremony began erecting roadblocks against the regime’s security forces, who retaliated by attacking the mourners and firing tear gas.

 

 

Similar ceremonies were held for another protester, Ali Abbasi, in the city of Isfahan. Participants were heard yelling, “Khomeini, be damned!” Locals in the western Iranian city of Dehgolan gathered to mark the 40th anniversary of Mohsen Niazi’s murder and began chanting “Death to Khamenei!”

Locals gathered in Ahvaz, southwest Iran, for a ceremony in memory of Atefeh Naami, who was murdered by the regime’s security forces and chanted anti-regime slogans. Locals in Izeh held a similar ceremony to mark the 40th anniversary of Ali Shariati’s death at the hands of the regime’s security forces.

People gathered in a village near the city of Marvadasht in Fars Province, south-central Iran, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Arman Emadi’s murder by regime security forces. They began chanting anti-regime slogans, particularly condemning the Revolutionary Guards and the paramilitary Basij.

 

 

Locals gathered in Qazvin, northwest Iran, to mark the third day since Mehrdad Malak was murdered by the regime’s oppressive security forces. Authorities had dispatched two busloads of security personnel to quell the protests.

Locals in Izeh gathered for a memorial ceremony for Hamed Salahshour, who was murdered by the regime’s security forces.

Protesters in Gilan Province set up roadblocks on the Ramdasht-Rudsar road on Thursday night to seize control of their streets and prevent authorities from dispatching forces to quell their protests.

People in Mashhad, northeast Iran, took to the streets on Wednesday night, chanting anti-regime slogans such as “Death to the dictator!” in reference to Khamenei. Similar protests were witnessed and reported in Tehran’s Aryashahr, Saadatabad, and Ferdows districts.
