1/ Did you know that the Iranian regime has been waging a sophisticated campaign in the U.S. Congress against the #Iran uprising & those seeking change in Iran?

The campaign uses MAHSA, who was murdered in Sep 2022 by the regime, to cover its true agenda.

#No2ShahNo2Mullahs

2/ The regime in #Iran aims to derail the revolution & target those seeking regime change, particularly the MEK, the main Iranian opposition.

Using various individuals & dubious groups as cover, Tehran seeks to demonize the MEK & NCRI’s President-Elect @Maryam_Rajavi.

3/ By portraying the ongoing revolution in #Iran as an attempt to return to Shah’s dictatorship, the regime hopes to deflate the uprising inside Iran and discourage international support.

#No2ShahNo2Mullahs

4/ Information leaked from the Iranian regime's Foreign Ministry last week reveals their strategy to discredit the MEK.

Internal documents show that the regime views the MEK as "highly dangerous" because they are aiming to overthrow the system.

5/ The #Iran'ian regime, in collaboration with the remnants of Shah's regime & SAVAK (Shah's notorious secret police responsible for torture and murder of intellectuals), has targeted the U.S. Congress.

6/ Over the past few weeks, dubious ad-hoc groups and campaigns were formed overnight to pressure Congress into refraining from supporting those seeking regime change in #Iran or those who reject the monarchical dictatorship.

7/ Reza Pahlavi, the son of the deposed dictator, suddenly emerged after decades of silence. He has often called for collaboration with the IRGC, designated by the U.S. as an FTO and which is the main instrument to kill and suppress #IranProtests.
#Iran

8/ Reza Pahlavi, who has never distanced himself from Shah’s single-party dictatorship, repeatedly urges protesters not to take to the streets and instead seeks foreign funding for his own operations under dubious cover.
#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

9/ In February 2023, Reza Pahlavi began a collaboration with several celebrities & individuals, trying to cover his monarchist agenda. But he soon exposed his nature & the “coalition” collapsed in April 2023.

10/ At the same time, a campaign was launched to whitewash SAVAK. Reza Pahlavi is heavily tied to this fascist organization & its operatives. After all, he is relying on the same SAVAK that was tasked to keep his father in power.

11/ Reza Pahlavi supporters continue to whitewash SAVAK by resorting to the deplorable practice of labeling individuals opposing the Shah's dictatorship as "terrorists," thereby disregarding their genuine pursuit of democracy.

12/ As part of his mission, Reza Pahlavi Regurgitate Iran’s Regime Allegations Against the MEK, which has built an extensive network inside #Iran over the past four decades & has paid a huge price in confronting the regime & the IRGC.

13/ The dictators ruling #Iran have long demonized the MEK, labeling them a "terrorist cult."

Supporters of Reza Pahlavi, following his lead, use the same language, revealing their affinity for the dictatorial rulers in Iran.

14/ Reza Pahlavi supporters now disturbingly chant in public places, “King Reza Palavi.”
This after he attempted to seek the collaboration of some individuals in Feb & make some noise about building unity, only to shatter the fragile partnership by April.

https://twitter.com/DariushKoshki/status/1627705075148722176?s=20

15/ Reza Pahlavi has been accused by his former collaborators, who tainted themself for their alliance with the monarchy, of being undemocratic.

Chant of "King Reza Pahlavi" is an insult to #Iran'ians 1979 anti-monarchy revolution.

16/ In Feb. 2023, senior Iranian regime officials publicly attacked a bipartisan resolution (#HRes100) introduced by @RepMcClintock & a campaign of harassment and intimidation was launched against the Members of Congress.

#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

https://twitter.com/IACNorCal/status/1626108402597498881?s=20

17/ Regardless of the harassment & intimidation campaign launched against the Members of Congress, the Congress stood firm & #HRes100 has gained a bi-partisan majority support of over 230 co-sponsors.

18/ Supporters of Reza Pahlavi & those associated with him, including those tied to the Iranian regime's lobby, have now announced a campaign on the Hill for mid-May. They aim to campaign against the #HRes100 & spread the #Iran'ian regime's threadbare propaganda against the MEK.

19/ Emails have been sent targeting those who have co-sponsored #HRes100. The main goal is to push Tehran's propaganda while pretending to oppose the Iranian regime or support specific causes. Again MAHSA is used as the cover to hide their real agenda: to derail the revolution.

20/ Several key questions arise regarding these individuals & ad-hoc groups campaigning on the Hill against #Hres100:

What is their position on the Shah's dictatorship, the notorious secret police SAVAK, and the single-party rule of the Shah?

#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

21/ A key question for individuals & ad-hoc groups campaigning on the Hill against #Hres100:

What is their stance on Maryam Rajavi's #FreeIran10PointPlan for the future of Iran with significant global support?

#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs
maryam-rajavi.com/en/viewpoints/…

22/ What is their position on the MEK’s revelation of the Iranian regime’s nuclear sites since 2002, which triggered the IAEA inspections of #Ira's nuclear sites that have continued to date, &their revelation of the Iranian regime’s missile, drone, & cyber program?
#Iran #HRes100

23/ A question for individuals & ad-hoc groups campaigning on the Hill against #Hres100:

Why have they been absent over 40 years since the regime massacred political prisoners, i.e., the #1988Massacre of 30,000 political prisoners and the murder of protesters since 2017?
#Iran

24/ Fact: The #Iran'ian regime is the only party in the world that describes the MEK as terrorist, because it has revealed dozens of the nuclear sites of Iran & has been the single most effective factor in denying the regime a nuclear bomb.
#No2ShahNo2Mullahs

25/ The sudden involvement these individuals & newly formed groups raises questions about their intentions & motives. Their campaign against those who want to overthrow the regime removes doubts that their actions only benefit Tehran.
#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs
#HRes100

26/ The regime's own docs, exposed in May 2023, reveal strategic meetings between the Foreign Ministry & Intelligence Ministry (MOIS) officials to demonize the MEK. The regime assigned the MOIS to counter the MEK & “undermine their advantages & values.”
#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

27/ The regime's document acknowledges that “unlike the monarchists, the MEK has unity and coherent organizations. The MEK seeks regime change and has a plan to be the alternative.” This is why the regime perceives them as a threat.
#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

28/ The Iranian regime's campaign in the U.S. Congress against those most active for regime change inside Iran and abroad, demonstrates its desperate efforts to maintain power and suppress the will of the Iranian people.
#Iran #No2ShahNo2Mullahs

29/ U.S. Congress is very familiar with such ploys, and as it has done before, will continue to stand on the side of the Iranian people.
