Iranian mullahs speak out against MEK as protest grow
In light
of the renewed sanctions, the Iranian currency continues to devalue, and
inflation is overtaking the nation. There is other evidence to suggest that the Iranian
regime has not been a good steward to the resources of Iran. Hence,
calls for regime change, and anti-regime slogans, have increased.e slogans, have increased.
Mullahs
blame MEK for protests
As the
protests continue on a daily basis throughout Iran, the mullahs are
attempting to counter the effects of these protests, arguing that the MEK is the real enemy of Iran, not the mullahs themselves.
“One of
the issues I want to emphasize is that some people say that the MEK are calling
for demonstrations and so on. We stand against them until the last drop of our
blood. But this does not mean that we should not see the problems in the
country,” said Hassan Nowroozi, a member of theIranian parliament, during the
impeachment of Ali Rabiei, the former Minister of Labor and Social
Welfare on August 8.
Others
are warning those who are protesting economic and social conditions to not
allow the MEK to take over the rallies and change the slogans to ones
that are anti-regime and anti-government.
“We want
all the students of the seminaries, when there is a protest by the people, to
take part in them and shout the slogans. Do not allow the MEK to change those
slogans and seize the rallies,” said the Friday Prayer Imam in Pardisan
district of Qom.
However,
the Iran security forces are active in trying to break up these
protests and they have noted that the slogans are shifting to anti-regime ones
in minutes, where the earlier protests did not see a change in the slogans for
days.
IRGC and
others speaks out on threat of MEK
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) noted that
the MEK is infiltrating all the protests and demonstrations. They
have also acknowledged that their reach is increasing, despite reports in the
1980s and 1990s that indicated the resistance was dead. The regime has actively
hunted members of the MEK for years, even those that fled Iran,
which has led to multiple assassination attempts, some of which were
successful.
The Iran
terrorist plotting in Europe is focused on tracking and
eliminating the threat to the regime from the Iranian resistance. The Iranian
government has even called for the expulsion of the Iranian resistance
coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), from France,
although this was unsuccessful.
“The
remarkable thing is that the entirety of the counter-revolution is designed
around the MEK, so that they can topple the regime through using their security
and anti-security capabilities,” said IRGC Brigadier General Jalali, who
is also the head of the Civil Defense organization on July 14.
The
latest round of truckers’ protests has been greeted as another reach by
the MEK to swipe at the regime.
“Today,
the enemies, and especially the MEK, have targeted the country’s social
issues, which was very evident in the truckers’ issue. The truckers were right
to ask, but in the shortest possible time, several networks were launched by
the MEK in order to express their demands as protest,” said Rabiei,
before he was impeached.
It must
be noted that the regime cannot admit that the people want real change and so
they are quick to downplay the demands of the protests and focus on the role of
the MEK instead. Yet, it is clear that the Iranian people do
have an agenda of their own, one that involves freedom for themselves and their
fellow citizens.
