Three minutes read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Iranian regime, widely recognized as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, consistently emphasizes a critical concern in various media outlets\u2014news, television programs, and even feature films. This concern revolves around alerting the younger generation in Iran to what the regime perceives as a significant threat: the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI-MEK).<\/p>\n In a recent move against the MEK, Mohammad-Sadegh Koushki, a former interrogator for the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence, who now identifies himself to the media as a university professor, granted an interview to the state-run newspaper Hamshahri<\/a>. In this interview, he warned about the perceived dangers of the MEK to the younger generation. Koushki, known for his involvement in interrogating numerous MEK supporters over the past decades, was portrayed by the media as an “expert on the MEK issue.”<\/p>\n Given the evident agenda behind the interview, it is crucial to approach Koushki’s statements with a recognition of the regime’s perspective, employing a filter of “reverse language.” Nevertheless, examining these statements helps understand the regime’s stance toward what it deems a significant adversary.<\/p>\n Indirectly admitting to how Iranians have been attracted to the organization, Koushki claimed, “At a time when the internet became a daily phenomenon and the internet became accessible to the general public, the MEK expanded its activities on the internet and used the internet as a medium and audience… gradually by the end of 2000s and 2010s, they adopted another method for attracting audiences and forces.\u201d<\/p>\n #Iran<\/a> News in Brief — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) September 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
