MEK Resistance Units mark the last military operation to free Iran from the tyranny<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Iranian Resistance Units, a network of activists of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) across Iran, have been organizing various activities that are louder calls for regime change. They commemorated the anniversary of the Eternal Light Operation in 1988. On July 25, 1988, the NLA launched its largest operation, called \u201cEternal Light,\u201d in which it targeted the entirety of the Iranian regime. The Iranian regime suffered 55,000 casualties, and on its part, the NLA lost 1,304 of its officers and soldiers, heroes who laid down their lives for the freedom of their country. The Resistance Units bravely took to graffiti in public places with the slogans: \u201cLong live the National Liberation Army. The path of the martyrs will continue until the overthrow of the regime,\u201d and \u201cHail to Massoud Rajavi, hail to the National Liberation Army.\u201d
