Iranian opposition warns against an uptick in Tehran’s foreign terrorist activities

NCRI reveals the Iranian regime’s terrorist activities in Europe

In a press conference held in London, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) revealed new classified information from inside the Iranian regime showing Tehran is busy increasing its terrorist activities against the main Iranian opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), and the NCRI.
Ms. Dowlat Nowruzi, the UK representative of the NCRI, laid out details of the Iranian regime’s operations abroad and the role of its embassies in planning and coordinating terror plots against dissidents in European countries. The information compiled by the Iranian opposition also shows that, contrary to what some analysts have tried to portray, the foreign terrorist activities of the Iranian regime are not rogue operations and are being orchestrated at the highest levels of power in Tehran.

An uptick in terrorist activities

In the past year, the Iranian regime has increased its espionage and terrorist activities abroad. In March, authorities in Albania stopped a terrorist bombing plot against a gathering of MEK members in Tirana. The plot was planned in Tehran and involved two Iranians who had traveled to Albania under the guise of journalists.
In June, European law enforcement agencies stopped a terrorist attack against a large gathering of the Iranian opposition in France. The convention was attended by tens of thousands of Iranians from across the world, featuring speeches by NCRI President Maryam Rajavi and dignitaries from the U.S., Europe, Middle East and other regions.
Two months later, in August, U.S. authorities apprehended two Iranian men who had been spying on Iranian dissidents—namely people tied to the MEK and NCRI—at the behest of Tehran’s regime.
“No doubt we are facing a new wave of terrorist activities by the mullahs’ regime outside Iran,” Nowruzi said in her remarks. The NCRI representative also stressed that according to specific information from within the regime, the decision to carry out the operations, including the attempted bombing of the Paris gathering, was taken in January 2018 in the Supreme National Security Council, headed by Hassan Rouhani.
High profile authorities of the Iranian regime were involved in the decision making process, including the regime’s foreign and intelligence ministers, the Supreme Leader’s closest advisors, the commander of the IRGC and Qassem Suleimani, the head of the regime’s terrorist Quds Force.
“Further discussion on the extent of this operation took place in the months of January and February in the Supreme National Security Council, and the plan was taken by Hassan Rouhani to Khamenei for final approval,” Nowruzi said.

The role of the Iranian regime’s diplomacy in terrorist plots

According to the NCRI, the “Organization of Foreign Intelligence and Movements,” is the specific department in the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) responsible for terrorist activities in Europe and U.S. This is one of the most important departments within the MOIS, coordinating espionage and terrorist operations between MOIS stations in different countries, which include the Iranian regime’s embassies.
“As a sign of focusing more on terrorism, the status of this department within the MOIS was elevated from directorship to organization on 8 February 2017. That means expanding the department with more budget and personnel,” Nowruzi warned.
The Iranian opposition’s information indicate that the OFIM is headed by Reza Amiri Moghaddam, a top security official reporting directly to the Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi. “He plays a key role in the regime’s terrorist activities in Europe and the U.S.,” Nowruzi said.

A former IRGC commander, Moghaddam was involved in terrorist attacks against coalition forces in Iraq following the 2003 U.S.-Iraq conflict. An Iranian Resistance investigation has found that Moghaddam was at the head of an Iranian regime delegation that held three-way negotiations with the U.S. and Iraq.
Moghaddam was also in charge of the coordination of the terror attack against the Iranian opposition convention in Paris and delivered orders and instructions to Assadollah Assadi, an Iranian diplomat and the head of the MOIS intelligence station in Vienna.
Assadi, a terror mastermind who has had experience carrying out terrorist activities in various countries, was in charge of planning and executing the attack with a sleeper cell in Belgium. Assadi was apprehended by German police two days before the Free Iran rally, after he had delivered explosives to his accomplices.
“For your information, Assadollah Assadi since 2014 has been head of all intelligence stations of the MOIS in Europe. Given the sensitivity of the operation, he was instructed to be personally engaged in the execution of the plan,” Nowruzi said.

Assadi has also served in the Iranian regime’s embassy in Iraq from 2004 to 2008, serving as third secretary. “According to our information, Assadi played a key role in terrorist plots, bombings and kidnappings against PMOI members, Iraqi citizens and collation forces from 2004 to 2008,” Nowruzi said.
The NCRI’s representative warned that the Iranian regime’s embassies in Europe play a key role in the regime’s terrorist activities in different aspects. “The NCRI has done thorough research on this issue, and the outcome will be released today for the first time. The regime’s embassies, in addition to collecting intelligence, provide logistics up to the point of the operation including weapons, explosives, money and other facilities required for the terrorist act,” she said.

The Iranian regime’s fear of nationwide protests

The increase of terrorist activities are happening while the Iranian regime is reeling from the effects of an ongoing uprising that started last December. Against all security provisions, the people of numerous Iranian cities poured into the streets to protest against poverty, unemployment and government corruption. The demonstrations soon turned into anti-government protests that called for the overthrow of the regime in its entirety. The regime’s officials have blamed the MEK for organizing protests and are trying to retaliate against the Iranian opposition to keep their tenuous hold on power.
“From the outset [of the protests], the highest-ranking officials of the regime blamed the PMOI (MEK) for the uprising and stated that they would respond in the harshest manner,” Nowruzi reminded.
Nowruzi also observed that since January 2018, the Iranian regime has had no solutions for responding to the people’s needs. “It sees its only solution as striking a blow to the organized Resistance and the alternative to its rule, in particular via terrorism. Given the urgency and serious nature of the matter, it is willing to pay any diplomatic price in this regard,” she said.
Nowruzi compared the Iranian regime’s methods and tactics to those of the extremist group Islamic State, and warned that continued relations with the Iranian regime is “as legitimate as having diplomatic relations with ISIS.”
“Silence in the face of the mullahs’ unbridled state terrorism, which has now openly reached Europe, is tantamount to ignoring this threat. It is equal to placing false hope on dialogue and the continued policy of appeasement, with biased and political objectives and destructive and deadly consequences for Europe, and playing with the lives of innocent people who will be the victims of this state terrorism. We should not allow the Iranian regime, in its phase of demise, to threaten the lives of Iranian refugees and opponents and the security of European countries,” Nowruzi said.
Nowruzi concluded her remarks by making three clear demands:
  • The detained terrorists in Germany and Belgium must be prosecuted in Belgium without any political considerations.
  • The Intelligence Ministry’s mercenaries and spies in European countries, including in the UK, must be arrested, tried and expelled.
  • The Iranian regime’s embassies and diplomatic missions in Europe must be shut down. 

Blacklisting Iran’s IRGC

Right Honorable Sir David Jones, a Conservative British MP, discussed the threats of the Iranian regime launching a broad new surge of terrorist activities spanning across Europe and even reaching the U.S.
Right Honorable Sir David Jones, a Conservative British MP, discussed the threats of the Iranian regime launching a broad new surge of terrorist activities spanning across Europe and even reaching the U.S.

The UK government must do more than just express concerns over the terrorism of Iran's regime. London should make it clear it supports the extradition of Tehran's diplomat. Furthermore, the UK government should consider blacklisting Iran's Revolutionary Guards & implement more effective measures,” Jones said.
Iran regime officials are continuously acknowledging how the PMOI/MEK is playing a major role in current protests throughout the country, the MP emphasized, adding  London should be engaging the Iranian resistance movement, being the NCRI & Mrs. Maryam Rajavi as the movement’s President-elect.

You can’t talk to terrorists

Lord Ken Maginnis of Drumglass touched on his decades-long experience of studying and battling terrorism to emphasize the importance of tackling the threat posed by the Iranian regime.
Lord Ken Maginnis of Drumglass touched on his decades-long experience of studying and battling terrorism to emphasize the importance of tackling the threat posed by the Iranian regime.

“We do very little from actually stopping terrorism from happening again. We must attack Iran's terrorists here at home. I am critical about the indecision of our government,” he said in strong remarks.
“Assadollah Assadi is a diplomat organizing terrorism in our democracies. We must highlight this threat… You can't talk to terrorists. We are committed to forcing our government to taking effective action. There are a lot more Assadollah Assadis waiting. A lot more being put in place. They will not go away,” Maginnis warned.
Referring to his relationship with and knowledge about Tehran’s mullahs and main Iranian opposition, Lord Maginnis highlighted how imperative it is to stand alongside the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and democracy.
“Nothing has changed for the Iranian people despite Iranian regime President Hassan Rouhani coming to power. I hope we begin to see the heroes of Iran's resistance, the people who have seen consistently and often having been threatened and attacked. We've got to think of Iranians as people who do not deserve that,” he added.
Signaling the media’s sensitive role, Lord Maginnis delivered final remarks underscoring the importance of this medium in informing the public about the grave threat of Iranian regime terrorism at hand.
“Can I emphasize the need for our press to listen to us. We will not mislead you. A consistent media approach is needed to realize that you have a responsibility. As an 81 year old, I'm still motivated to fight this battle. There is a lack of communication or lack of decision among our political leaders in terms of what we do about our security difficulties. This is carelessness at government level. Various parties are guilty. This leads to negligence by the press,” he said. “You have a responsibility outside and beyond your front door.” 

The Iranian regime must be held to account for state-sponsored terrorism

UK Conservative MP Bob Blackman highlighted on the very recent history of the Iranian regime’s terrorist plots targeting the PMOI/MEK.

“I'm here to emphasize the threat of terrorism supported by Iran's regime. Since March there have been three terrorist plots by Tehran across Europe & the U.S against the PMOI/MEK… Iran's operatives have been arrested in Albania, Belgium, Germany, France & the United States involved in plotting terrorism against the PMOI/MEK,” he explained.
Iran's regime must be held to account for state sponsored terrorism, the British MP continued, adding how a cross-party effort in the British Parliament is gaining support for an early day motion against Tehran-sponsored terrorism.
“Germany must extradite Iran's diplomat terrorist Assadollah Assadi to Belgium… Iran's assets in the UK must be frozen to stop Tehran from deploying terrorist plots. There is enough evidence that says Iran's operatives must be held to account,” Blackman continued.
Providing an in-depth perspective on Iran’s need for terrorism, the British MP highlighted the mullahs’ weakness in confronting growing troubles back home.
“Tehran is increasing its terrorism in Europe because it is weak in the face of protests across. The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) is a viable opposition,” he added.

Iraq: Clerics in Karbala chanting “Death to Khamenei”

Clerics in Karbala, Iraq, chanting slogans against the Iranian regime

A number of clerics in Karbala, southern Iraq, rallied outside the Iranian regime’s consulate in this city and were seen chanting “Death to Khamenei,” targeting the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. These protesters, angry over Tehran’s meddling in their country and the crimes committed by Iran-backed militias, were also chanting:
“No to the pharaoh”
“No to the devil”
“Death to Khamenei”
“Death to the mullahs’ principle”
“No to Khamenei”
“No to Khomeini,” referring to the regime’s founder Ruhollah Khomeini.
This protest follows massive rallies in Basra, the oil-rich city of southern Iraq, where protesters were seen storming Tehran’s consulate and torching the site. They lowered the Iranian regime’s flag and raised the flag of Iraq, showing their utmost abhorrence of the mullahs’ malign and deadly meddling on their soil. Iraqi protesters are accusing the Iranian regime of having a major part in their poor living conditions and lack of basic services in a province that is rich in oil.
As a result cities in southern Iraq, especially Basra, have been witnessing nearly daily protests. From Monday onward the demonstrations in Basra reached a new level and protesters were seen torching government buildings and other sites belonging to Shiite parties backed by the Iranian regime.
Coinciding with these events two demonstrators have reportedly been killed. The government of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has vowed to investigate in this regard.
The Security and Anti-Terrorism Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the main Iranian opposition coalition, had warned prior to these developments about the Iranian regime dispatching its deputy Revolutionary Guards Quds Force chief as its new ambassador in Iraq, specifically aimed at continuing and expanding the mullahs’ meddling in Iraq

The MEK ’S ‘Great Exodus’ From Iraq, The Source Of Strategic Development


The first week of September recalls several important events in the history of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the main Iranian opposition group; the foundation of the organization, the election of the organization’s Secretary-General, and the departure of the last remaining groups of the MEK members from Camp Liberty in Iraq to Albania
But what has attracted the most domestic and international attention in the recent years is the relocation of the last group of the MEK members from Iraq to Albania, which is referred to as the “Great exodus”, and has been the source of significant developments in the political, social and strategic arenas of Iran which is now under the rule of the clerical regime.
 On September 10, 2016, the media reported that the last group of the MEK arrived in Albania from Iraq.
The National Liberation Army of Iran had successfully managed to transfer all its cadres and fighters who were surrounded by the Quds terrorist forces and its affiliated Iraqi mercenaries, in the course of a complicated operation via Baghdad international airport to Albania. The relocation operation, in addition to its strategic and political impacts, was considered a well-planned, tactical masterpiece being precisely calculated and time-tabled.
The “Great exodus” took place at a time when the Iraqi mercenaries of the Quds Force were preparing to launch another heavy missile barrage against the unarmed and defenseless residents of Camp Liberty, intending to take inflict massive casualties on them.

A glimpse at the measures taken by the former Iraqi puppet government of Nouri al-Maliki against the MEK shows that the goal of designing Camp Liberty was to destroy or cripple Iran’s resistance.

Khamenei and his Iraqi and international supporters were satisfied with nothing less than the destruction of the MEK or the repentance of its members. There was no third option. They wanted to wipe out the MEK at the prison-like Camp Liberty by missiles or if necessary by ground assaults, or force the residents towards betrayal by intimidating them.
During a well-organized, great and historic relocation, which is considered a victorious turning point in the 52-year history of the organization, the MEK broke the hostile siege, maintaining its organization’s integrity intact. The successful relocation has changed the position of Iran’s resistance from a defensive stance to an aggressive one and has paved the way for preparing for the final steps to free Iran from dictatorship.
The “Great exodus”: A displacement from the focal point of danger to fulfill the strategy of “A thousand Ashrafs” and the “Resistance units”
When we speak of the resistance units, this means that the regime has reached to its final days. The resistance units are the Liberation Army’s units that are scattered throughout Iran. We are at the phase of regime change and there are protests and uprisings in various cities every day. The question is what the role of the resistance units is in all these.
The role of the resistance units is to encourage, organize, and direct the uprisings. They lead the uprisings and push them forward.
The fact is that there is an organized resistance, the Liberation Army of Iran and its resistance units guarantee the continuation of the uprisings and the overthrow of the clerical regime.
That’s the reason that the further we advance, the more the uprisings deepen, and get stronger, and the forces of the uprisings become tougher and more intrepid. And all these are the result of the magnificent changes in the circumstances since the transfer of the MEK members from Iraq to Albania. A change so undeniable that even the mullah regime’s authorities and leaders admit to the role of the MEK in the development and spread of the resistance units.

Is Iran’s Regime Reaching the End of the Road?

By Mohammad Sadat Khansari

On August 13th 2018, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed that the regime is facing no dead-ends, and simply recommended a “revolutionary and efficient management” for “resolving the issues at hand”.
But not long after, many media outlets and authorities began admitting to the insufficiency of his management, and the lack of any solutions, which just proves the soon-coming end to the regime.
The state-run newspaper known as “Vatan-e-Emroos” commented: “No one can deny the lack of deficiency in the current governance, especially over the past several months; in which the market has been disturbed in shocking ways, causing the witnessed political stability, which is exactly what our enemy wants”.
This newspaper adds that the reason behind Khamenei’s “avoidance” of changing the government is that he believes by doing so, “the enemy will be able to take advantage of the situation and put its evil plan into effect, against our Islamic Republic”.
Is Iran’s regime at the end of its road?
13th August 2018, the supreme leader of Iran Ali Khamenei claimed that there are no dead-ends in the country and recommended a “revolutionary and efficient management” for “resolving the issues”.
The Vice Chairman of the parliament, Pezeshkian, also contributes: “Since the revolution, our management structure has never been of a logical type”; adding that: “Today’s issues of our society are the direct result of the negative behaviours of our government officials; we are all responsible in our own ways, for the current problems” (September 1st, 2018; IRNA).
In a talk with the state-run newspaper named Arman, one of Khamenei’s theorists named Amir Mohebian states: “From my point of view, presidency has turned into a game in this country. In which all players eventually lose their credibility within 4 to 8 years, then just leave”. He also referred to a more fundamental dead-lock within the regime, i.e., its social isolation and the distrust of its people in its governance: “People don’t see any similarities between their problems and those of the officials in power” (September 1st, 2018).
Following the recent protests, many outlets and officials believe that the regime has no solutions up its sleeve. Truth is, if there was no dead-ends, and if there were any solutions, the society wouldn’t have reached the explosive point that it has now; as evident by the continuing rise of many protestors across the country!
It is because of these united and resistant protestors that the regime has come closer to its subversion. Which the regime has brought upon itself, as it’s never cared about people’s needs throughout its decades of history!
This regime is clearly for oppression, and not for people; which is why every time protestors rise in the streets, they’re not only fighting oppression, but also accelerating the regime change.

Iranian resistance units celebrate PMOI/MEK founding anniversary

Resistance units pay homage to the PMOI-MEK on the 53rd anniversary of its founding

On the anniversary of the founding of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the principal Iranian opposition group, resistance units across Iran paid homage to the founders of the MEK and its leaders and reiterated their pledge to continue the struggle for freedom and democracy.


Members of Resistance Unit 219 in Tehran put up a placard containing the images of Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi, the PMOI/MEK symbol and a message congratulating this organization on its founding anniversary.
Members of another resistance unit in Tehran put up posters of PMOI/MEK founder Mohammad Hanifnejad, Massoud Rajavi, Iranian opposition President Maryam Rajavi and the PMOI/MEK symbol.
Members of Resistance Unit 220 in Tehran put posters of Massoud Rajavi and PMOI/MEK symbols at a pedestrian bridge.
Members of yet another resistance unit in Tehran put posters of Massoud Rajavi in various areas to celebrate the PMOI/MEK’s 53rd founding anniversary.
Members of a resistance unit in Kermanshah, western Iran, put up posters of Massoud Rajavi and the PMOI/MEK symbol.
In Rasht, northern Iran, members of Resistance Unit 209 put up a placard marking this anniversary and announcing their readiness to put in more effort to overthrow the mullahs’ regime.
In the Shahriar district of Karaj, resistance unit members put up posters of Mohammad Hanifnejad and the PMOI/MEK symbol.
Resistance Unit 166 members in Yazd, central Iran, put up a poster marking this anniversary. The posters contained images of Massoud Rajavi and the PMOI/MEK symbol.
Resistance Unit 313 members in Tehran put up a placard of the PMOI/MEK symbol commemorating this anniversary.
Members of Resistance Unit 120 in Tehran put up images of the PMOI/MEK symbol.
In Isfahan, resistance units put posters of the PMOI/MEK symbol and sent messages of congratulations on this anniversary.
Resistance unit members in Brujen also put posters of the PMOI/MEK symbol.
In Tehran, members of Resistance Unit 640 put up a placard marking the 53rd PMOI/MEK founding anniversary.
In Mashhad, members of a resistance unit visited the sacred Imam Reza shrine on this day and sent messages of congratulations to the PMOI/MEK.
Other resistance unit members in Tehran were also active at night, putting up various statements across the city. 
In many other cities of Iran, resistance units held similar ceremonies. What makes these significant is the danger that these resistance units are taking to express their support for the MEK. Since 1981, the Iranian regime has banned the MEK and has conducted a brutal crackdown on its members and supporters. In 1988 alone, the Iranian regime executed more than 30,000 members and supporters of the MEK. But it did not manage to destroy the organization.
The regime continues to severely punish anyone who is found to have ties to the MEK. In recent years, the regime has executed several supporters of the MEK for having financially supported the organization or having met with their relatives who are members of the MEK. But the regime’s efforts have not intimidated the Iranian people. The ideals and values of the MEK have continued to gain support among the Iranian people, especially the youth and the women, who dream of living in a free and democratic country.

Unprecedented attacks targeting Khamenei in Iran’s parliament

The Iranian regime’s Majlis (parliament)

On Tuesday, September 2nd, an open-door session of the Iranian regime’s Majlis (parliament) became the scene of a number of Majlis members acknowledging the regime’s crises and “super challenges” while criticizing Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his policies for their status quo.
These unprecedented attacks came at a time when Khamenei himself is engulfed in circumstances that the regime’s so-called Assembly of Experts held a session on the same day to inject new life into his role as the Supreme Leader in public opinion. Ahmad Jannati, head of the Assembly of Experts, said all the country’s dilemmas are blamed on Khamenei.
Majlis member Gholamreza Heidari said, “The significant decrease in the value of our currency, skyrocketing prices, even for basic daily necessities, are all signs indicating the country is not being managed correctly.”
He referred to the bipolar status of power in the mullahs’ regime and called for changes in the “country’s managing system,” asking Khamenei to hold a referendum to resolve the country’s issues.
Parvin Salahshouri, another Majlis member, described Khamenei and his military apparatus as the elements behind the country’s crises and super challenges.
“We are witnessing military personnel entering politics, the economy and culture, and the joint efforts involving cultural and military entities. Now, the President says we have no challenges at all. Mr. President, we are currently engulfed with super challenges and everyone knows that” she said.
Salashouri called on Khamenei to step forward to resolve Iran’s crises and super challenges, and order a re-evaluation of the constitution. She also called for military entities to return to military bases and focus on their own duties, allowing the country’s economy and culture to recover.
As the Iranian people’s living conditions become more difficult with skyrocketing prices, and as the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) continues to expand its resistance units across the country, we have reached circumstances where Majlis members are feeling the threats and are attempting to portray themselves as supporters of the people, criticizing Khamenei and his supporters as a result.
The regime’s utter fear of being overthrown by the Mujahedin has reached a point where Majlis members are literally begging Khamenei to step forward and take action to prevent the economy from crumbling in the face of corruption.
