The Persian New Year of 1402 ended on March 20, 2024. While there are numerous aspects to assess the Iranian regime\u2019s position, the ruling theocracy\u2019s relation with its organized opposition group is utterly important.<\/p>\n

The nationwide 2022 uprising, which spanned several months into 2023, rattled the regime\u2019s foundation. As previously reported, the Iranian regime\u2019s security apparatus is entirely designed to suppress any protest and uprising. Thus, the continuation of those protests indicated a driving force that organized them. Arresting over 3,600 members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran<\/a> (PMOI\/MEK) Resistance Units is a testament to this fact.<\/p>\n

Following the bloody crackdown on the 2022 uprising<\/a>, the regime intensified its oppressive measures to clamp down on any form of dissent. Yet, despite the regime\u2019s efforts, defiant youths targeted many centers of oppression and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) bases. These operations, along with numerous torching of the regime\u2019s symbols and signs by the MEK Resistance Units, were roughly 3006 cases.<\/p>\n

In addition, the MEK Resistance Units<\/a> carried out 27,726 activities across Iran, such as portraying large images of the Resistance\u2019s leadership on buildings and writing graffiti and slogans on the walls encouraging people to resist the tyranny.\u00a0 These campaigns and activities, under the nose of tens of thousands of the regime\u2019s covert and overt forces, have cast deep fear in officials\u2019 hearts.<\/p>\n
