Mohammad Atrianfar, a politician from the Reformist party, comments in this regard (IRNA, August 15th 2018): \u201cthis group (MEK) is one of the oldest and biggest in our history, and once again, is aiming for our subversion now\u201d; adding that \u201cin times like this when people are unhappy and frustrated, opposing forces will without a doubt take advantage of people\u2019s emotions towards their own agendas; therefore, it\u2019s important for the government to make necessary steps to stop that from happening\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A member of the Moderation and Development Party, Gholamali Dehghan also raises his concerns regarding the \u201cthe significance of subversion from a political point of view\u201d and highlights MEKs as \u201cthe main subversive force\u201d of the regime. He believes that MEKs \u201cintend to surf on the wave of unhappiness observed amongst our people, for their own sake\u201d, and that \u201cwhat\u2019s often neglected is the internal issues of our government and the corrupt elements within it, which are continuing to add to people\u2019s frustration\u201d (Etemad Newspaper, August 15th 2018).<\/p>\n<p>The regime does not just fear the MEK\u2019s presence in street protests, but also their activity within the cyberspace. On 15th August, a state-run website wrote in this regard, by quoting from Tehran\u2019s former Police Chief: \u201cwhoever that\u2019s familiar with MEKs would know that they\u2019re very active in cyberspace\u201d; adding that \u201cthe subversive movements witnessed in social platforms today, root from the opposing organisation (MEK) to a very large extent, if not 100%. They (MEKs) are present in most Telegram groups such as those of political and social forms\u201d. (Tehran-Press, August 15th 2018).<\/p>\n<p>An expert on international affairs from Rouhani\u2019s government, named Ali Bigdeli, also warns that: \u201cthe pre-existing gap between people and officials has been shifting to a massive distance between people and the entire body of governance; there are many red flags that must not be ignored\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>These confessions made from government officials and media platforms come from the fact that the majority of the ongoing protests are centred on the efforts of the MEK. Which the regime is clearly fearful of, as admitted by Atrianfar: \u201cthis group (MEK) is one of the oldest and biggest in our history, and is once again aiming for our subversion\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, some Mullahs also gave out warnings about MEKs and their contribution to the widespread protests across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;Mohammad Sadat Khansari On August 13th 2018, Iran&rsquo;s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, claimed that his government is doing just fine;
