Today, Maryam Rajavi declares that she welcomes any agreement to stop the war and presents herself as a supporter of peace and tranquility for the Iranian people. But a fundamental question arises: if peace and agreement have been so important, why has the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) for decades considered every tension between Iran and the West as an opportunity to advance its political project?<\/p>\n
This organization has built its political existence for years on crisis, sanctions, external pressure and the nuclear issue. Whenever tensions increased, it presented them as a sign of the nearness of the \u201ccollapse of the regime\u201d. Whenever the paths of negotiation and agreement were opened, its media spoke of their failure.<\/p>\n
Today, the situation has changed. An agreement and a reduction in tensions would deprive the organization of one of its most important political and propaganda tools. Therefore, its leaders try to present themselves as supporters of peace, in order to avoid even greater political isolation.<\/p>\n
If peace is in the best interest of the Iranian people, why has the drumbeat of crisis been beaten for years? If war is a tragedy for the people, why was every sign of military confrontation presented as a political possibility? And if an agreement is desirable, why were policies promoted that led to the escalation of pressure and confrontation?<\/p>\n
The problem is not that Maryam Rajavi is now talking about peace. The problem is that this stance contradicts the organization\u2019s long history. An organization that has been nourished by crisis for decades is now trying to wear the mask of a peacemaker.<\/p>\n
History does not lose its memory. What is presented today as \u201csupport for the agreement\u201d looks more like an attempt to hide the fact that any lasting agreement and any reduction in tensions in the region takes away political ground from a movement that has for years linked its existence to the continuation of crises.<\/p>\n
