Mohammad Mohaddessin was born in 1955 in the holy city of Qom, central Iran, to a father who was a known clergyman and in a strictly practicing family.
As a student on Electrical engineering, he was active in anti-Shah student movements of the seventies. That is when he joined the Mojahedin. He was arrested in 1976 and imprisoned, to be freed in 1979 only after the Shah left the country and his regime had a few days left.
Mohaddessin was active in the anti-fundamentalist movement of the mullahs rule's first years. Afterwards he was appointed in charge of the political section of the Mojahedin. In 1992 he was assigned chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance, a post he has held ever since.

Mohaddessin's deep knowledge of the Islamic fundamentalist thought stems from his religious – clerical background being grown up in a clerical family. With his father an anti- Khomeini regime clergyman, and having himself experienced different aspect of fundamentalist teachings and practices along with years of political and ideological struggle against the Shah and Khomeini, Mohaddessin has been an outspoken critic of Islamic fundamentalism through no less than one hundred press conferences, speeches, and writings on the subject around the globe. He is the author of several books among them "Islamic Fundamentalism, the new global threat."
