In 1985, Montazeri was officially designated as the successor to the regime\u2019s founder Ruhollah Khomeini, but Khomeini stripped him of title and publicly ostracized him due to his opposition about the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-1988-massacre-of-political-prisoners\/history-and-background-of-1988-massacre\/\" rel=\"noopener\">1988 massacre of MEK members<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Montazeri died in 2009, following two decades of house arrest. In his lengthy interview with Mehr, the MOIS official acknowledges how Khomeini and his inner circle \u201cbecame wary of developments in Montazeri\u2019s office (Beyt), ultimately forcing Khomeini to dismiss Montazeri of all his official titles, particularly after the latter protested the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, the vast majority of whom belonged the MEK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to this intelligence official, in 1983, Khomeini had warned regime authorities that &#8220;criminals&#8221; (i.e., opponents) &#8220;seek to exploit you personally and will want to infiltrate your offices \u2026 to cause deviations within the system (regime).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Montazeri\u2019s stance gradually shifted to supporting the MEK. Initially, he criticized the methods and how the state dealt with the MEK, and year after year, the intensity of support for the MEK increased until we reached 1988 when he openly took a stance against the Imam (Khomeini) and the state while supporting the MEK,\u201d said the MOIS official, unwittingly admitting to the MEK&#8217;s extensive social base.<\/p>\n<p>According to this MOIS official, in early 1983, Khomeini had ordered its subordinates to \u201cuproot them (MEK) before I die.\u201d This fact revealed how the MEK\u2019s increasing popularity terrified Khomeini, increasing his animosity toward the MEK.<\/p>\n<p>In another part of his interview, the MOIS senior official refers to the regime\u2019s decades-long demonization campaign against the MEK. He says that Montazeri was critical of the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office&#8217;s brutality towards MEK activists, particularly the chief Tehran prosecutor Assadollah Lajevardi. Montazeri, the official said, had told Lajevardi, \u201cYou go and kill people in the streets\u2026 You murder them and then blame the MEK in order to discredit them in the eyes of the public and to justify their executions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This startling revelation undercut the oft-repeated narrative by western pundits who blamed the MEK for resorting to violence against the regime. The fact, as revealed by the MOIS official, is the exact opposite.<\/p>\n<p>This interview once again highlights that from day one, the MEK stood as the only viable alternative to Iran\u2019s ruling theocracy by putting freedom and democracy center stage in Iranian politics. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime has gone every extra mile and clung to anything to tarnish the MEK\u2019s image and reduce its impact on Iran\u2019s vibrant society, particularly the youth. But the MEK\u2019s growing popularity, now visible in forms of its extensive network of \u201cResistance Units,\u201d is a testament to the regime\u2019s failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, December 28, 2021, the People&rsquo;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) published an article about a recent report by the state-run Mehr News Agency regarding startling confessions by an [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":253555,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[737,997,1174],"class_list":{"0":"post-253551","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-iran1988-massacre","9":"tag-iran-mek","10":"tag-hussein-ali-montazeri"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
