After a fatal and long-lasting muteness, Khamenei spoke on the thirteenth day of the uprising and showed his panic and fear over the people’s fury, with an inverse tone, he reiterated the fact that the Iranian Resistance and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) are the alternative to his regime.
Khamenei stated: the MEK "had been ready since months ago ... since several months ago (they were ready) to organize, and meet this person and that one; and to select some people inside the country, find them and help them, so they would come and call on the people. They (MEK) announced their call, and made the slogan “No to high prices”. Well, this is a slogan that everyone likes. They (MEKO managed to attract some people with this slogan. And then, they(MEK) could come to the scene and pursue their goals, and make the people follow them”.
However, Khamenei while admitting to the critical situation in the country, the widespread uprising in 142 cities and all provinces in the country as "fireworks and devious work" after a deadly and lengthy silence, showed up on the thirteenth day of the uprising.
He inevitably had to acknowledge the continuation of the uprising. Referring to the protesters, he said, "The enemies’ agents will not give up”. This is at a time when Jafari, the IRGC commander, had announced a week earlier that the uprising had ended, and Rouhani had told the Turkish president that the unrest would end in two days.
Khamenei again, underscored the fact that the Iranian Resistance and the PMOI / MEK are the alternative to his regime. And thus tried to portray them as insignificant.
Scared of the people’s anger over the corrupt ruling system that has plundered tens of billions of the people’s assets, he, who is the greatest thief in Iran's history, said: "Troublesome funds or some of the troublesome financial institutions, some of the troublesome organs” have dissatisfied some people. "Those popular demands or popular appeals or popular protests have always existed in this country, and they exist now too. … Nobody opposes them either. These words should be taken into consideration and should be heard, and they should be responded to as much as possible. "
The AFP citing Iran's "state television", reported that while making a clear allusion to the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, Or the MEK, Rouhani told President Macron, "We criticize the fact that a terrorist group has a base in France and acts against the Iranian people and encourages violence. We expect the French government to act against this terrorist group ".
