INSIDE THIS ISSUE
\n1. The NYTimes: the MEK has almost zero popularity in Iran<\/strong>
\nThe NY Times reporter sees the MEK\u2019s siding with Saddam Hus sein during the Iran-Iraq war as the dark spot in the MEK\u2019s past, the act that many Iranians considered treason.<\/p>\n

2. Regime change in Iran? MEK starts lobbying in the US, here\u2019s what it aims for<\/strong>
\nThe Iranian opposition in exile has begun lob bying in the US to gain the support of Presi dent Donald Trump. And to accomplish this, a lobbying company close to the Republicans, called \u201cSpecial Guests Publicity\u201d, has been engaged, which has connections to Trump\u2019s inner circle.<\/p>\n

3. Endless MEK\u2019s anger towards New York Times. Why?<\/strong>
\nAfter the Israeli attacks on Iran, given the prospect of the so-called regime change in Iran, journalists are exploring the landscape of Iranian opposition groups. Dozens of news me dia have published articles analyzing the viable alternatives to the Iranian government. The majority of these investigative reports conclude that there is a lack of a unified and credible opposition for Iran.<\/p>\n

4. Why the MEK is Not Considered a Viable Alternative<\/strong>
\nA significant factor is the MEK\u2019s past associa tion with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War, which has deeply damaged its reputation within Iran. The group\u2019s alliance with Iraq, which included military opera tions against Iranian forces, is viewed by many Iranians as an act of treason, destroying the MEK\u2019s standing in its homeland. This association is a major reason for the MEK\u2019s unpopularity inside Iran,<\/p>\n

5. Why is the MEK considered a destructive cult?<\/strong>
\nThe Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), also known as the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) or the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) (which is widely considered an alias for the MEK), is considered a destructive cult due to a com bination of factors, including its charismatic and absolute leadership\u2026<\/p>\n

6. The MEK children who speak out<\/strong>
\nThe experiences of children of the Mujahedin-e Khalq have attracted a lot of attention in recent years, to the point that one of the most frequently repeated facts about human rights viola tions in the MEK deals with the issue of children.<\/p>\n
