The operations, which combined direct attacks with symbolic actions and youth-led protests, marked the 45th anniversary of the June 20, 1981, uprising and took place amid the regime\u2019s ongoing political fragility following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and a sharp rise in political executions.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">June 20, 2026<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Resistance units in <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/the-flame-of-june-20-lives-on-resistance-units-take-to-the-streets-ahead-of-historic-paris-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Zahedan<\/strong> took to the streets<\/a> on the eve of the anniversary to mark June 20 as the Day of Martyrs and Political Prisoners. Activists displayed banners and placards that welcomed the recent ceasefire while emphasizing that war had served as the regime\u2019s shield against popular uprisings and that peace represented its ultimate poison. The units underscored that the pursuit of nuclear weapons and regional warmongering remained central pillars of the ruling religious fascism. They drew a firm line against every form of dictatorship, repeating the Iranian people\u2019s central slogan of \u201cNeither Shah nor mullahs\u201d and declaring that a dictator remains a dictator whether wearing a crown or a turban. Placards affirmed that while Ali Khamenei\u2019s son sought to preserve power and the son of the former shah sought to acquire it, the eras of both the monarchy and the mullahs had ended, with the overthrow resting solely with the Iranian people, their organized resistance, and the National Liberation Army of Iran.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Commemorating the 45th anniversary of the June 20, 1981, uprising\u2014the day of Martyrs and Political Prisoners\u2014PMOI Resistance Units launched a sweeping campaign of 45 coordinated operations against regime targets across Iran. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/T7WKm9HCBN\">pic.twitter.com\/T7WKm9HCBN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/2068206856154251623?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">June 19, 2026<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On June 19, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/resistance-units-target-regime-centers-to-honor-june-20-uprising-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resistance Units executed<\/a> a coordinated campaign of forty-five operations across Iran to commemorate the anniversary.

Following the massive January 2026 nationwide uprising that brought the state to the brink of collapse and the death of Ali Khamenei on February 28, 2026, the installation of his son Mojtaba has failed to restore legitimacy or capacity for reform. The recent execution of eight PMOI members and more than twenty youths involved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/campaigns\/2026\/01\/what-happened-at-the-protests-in-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the January protests<\/a>, alongside the broader surge in political killings, was intended to deter further unrest. Instead, these measures have coincided with sustained, geographically diverse operations by Resistance Units that have struck regime security infrastructure and propaganda symbols in dozens of cities. The persistence of these actions, including 630 defensive operations during the January uprising and the February 23 assault on Khamenei\u2019s headquarters by 250 fighters, reveals an organized domestic network that the regime has been unable to dismantle. The synchronized internal campaign and the massive June 20, 2026, rally in Paris, expected to draw more than 100,000 supporters, amplify the same rejection of both monarchical and clerical dictatorship under Maryam Rajavi\u2019s Third Option and the NCRI\u2019s Ten-Point Plan for a democratic, secular republic with gender equality and abolition of the death penalty. These developments expose the clerical system\u2019s internal deadlock: its strategy of repression has neither restored deterrence nor prevented the continued projection of an alternative grounded in popular sovereignty, leaving the regime increasingly isolated and unable to project genuine invincibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past week from June 14 to June 21, 2026, MEK Resistance Units carried out a sustained nationwide campaign of defiance across more than thirty Iranian cities and towns, [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":345943,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,9],"tags":[130,197,222,2470],"class_list":["post-345942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran-resistance","category-iran-protests","tag-iran-protests","tag-mek-iran","tag-iranian-resistance","tag-iran-resistance-units"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
