On August 5, the spokesperson for the Iranian president's cabinet, Ali Rabiee, held a briefing with journalists and explicitly mentioned the clerical regime's longstanding conflict with its domestic enemy, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran.
Established as a movement against the Shah's regime in the mid-20th century, the MEK was a major force in the Iranian Revolution but immediately broke away from the emerging government after that movement was co-opted by Ayatollah Khomeini.
The MEK was then and now remains a leading voice for democratic governance, and its vision has been formalized in the 10-point plan of the Iranian opposition leader, Maryam Rajavi.
The MEK has expressed unmitigated confidence that the current regime is nearing its collapse, which will pave the way for that vision.
The Ashraf-3 gathering was attended by a large, influential coalition of national, local governments, personalities and institutions from throughout the world, who fully share the positions of the National Council Resistance of Iran aimed at transforming Iran into a democratic country led by the rule of law, respect of human rights and democratic freedom.
Prior to elections in 2017, MEK activists risked arrest and long prison terms by posting messages in public and online urging people to "Vote for regime change."
In just a few months, an estimated 30,000 people were put to death for the crime of disloyalty, and the killings focused overwhelmingly on the MEK. Pour-Mohammadi's earlier remarks described these killings as the fulfillment of "God's command," and his most recent media interview reiterated his lack of remorse while drawing parallels between the 1988 massacre and the current situation.
