Who is the Iranian opposition, seeking regime change?
Donald Trump will be urged to demonstrate America's commitment to regime change in Iran by making a direct appeal to the Iranian people who are still involved in nationwide protests across the country. A senior US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher said in a meeting with leaders of the Iranian Resistance in Paris to discuss how the US can tangibly support to Iranian citizens wanting to overthrow the "weakened regime."
Former New York Mayer Rudy Giuliani said at a conference held at the Washington Press Club on February 28th: "we have legit, strong, Democratic alternative in Iran, Maryam_Rajavi. We should give them recognition!
A brief history of Iranian opposition MEK
Formed in 1965, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran(PMOI/MEK), the largest and best-organized Iranian opposition movement, is the main component of the coalition, National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which acts as the parliament-in-exile.
After the fall of the Shah in February 1979, a cleric named Khomeini stole the people's revolution for freedom and established his extremist government based on medieval laws using the name of Islam.
People throughout the country, in particular, the university students and intelligentsia upset with the new repressive and backward regime joined the PMOI. Hundreds of thousands participated in the PMOI/MEK peaceful meetings and demonstrations. Iranian regime worried about such rising popular support for the PMOI, started to repress, arrest, torture and finally execute the MEK members in large numbers. Up to now, more than 100 thousand MEK members and supporters were executed for the sole crime of being freedom lovers.
