The alignment of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) with external military pressure against Iran represents a complex and contentious dimension of the group\u2019s politics. While Maryam Rajavi publicly disavows foreign military invasions, critical observers and academic analyses frequently note a stark contradiction between these official diplomatic statements and the ton of the group\u2019s media apparatus.<\/p>\n
Historically, the MEK\u2019s trajectory \u2013 from its anti-Western militant origins to its siding with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war- has shaped a deeply polarizing public perception.\u00a0 This background fuels accusations from critics that opposition factions may tacitly or overtly welcome external geopolitical shocks or infrastructure degradation as mechanisms to weaken the ruling government in Tehran, regardless of the broader humanitarian costs or civilian casualties.<\/p>\n
Within scholarly literature the MEK is frequently characterized as a political chameleon that tailors its messaging to match the strategic desires of international interlocutors while maintaining internal organizational dynamics described by detractors as cult-like. Consequently, when external escalations or military actions occur, the disconnect between the NCRI\u2019s stated ten-point plan for a democratic republic and the apparent celebratory reporting of its media outlets exposes a profound strategic dilemma.<\/p>\n
Observers argue that this dynamic heavily impairs the organization\u2019s domestic legitimacy inside Iran, where memories of the group\u2019s alignment with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war remain an unforgivable grievance for the vast majority of the population, thereby complicating any genuine internal transition of power.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the world public opinion as well as the Iranian nation admit that the US president Donald Trump has lost the battle with Iran. Simon Tissdal, a Gurdian\u2019s commentator asserts, \u201cFeckless and clueless, Donald Trump is lost in Iran, unable to find a way out of the disastrous war he started.\u201d He asks a crucial question: \u201cHow often have Trump and Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon\u2019s wildling lord of bones, hailed a bogus victory?\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s fake claims of victory against Iran are very similar to the four-decade long claims of overthrowing the Islamic republic repeated by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi. Trump claimed this week to be \u201cwinning big\u201d. \u201cNo one believes him,\u201d writes Tissdal. \u201cEven as it counts the vast human and economic cost of his Persian folly, a watching world scoffs at US impotence.\u201d<\/p>\n
We are being pulled back into a conflict \u201cwith no clearly articulated political end state,\u201d said Mark Hertling in The Bulwark. We can destroy more but Iran can disrupt more,\u201d driving oil prices, attacking Arab state neighbors and straining US alliances, and drawing us \u201cdeeper into an open-ended campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump failed to heed a crucial warfare, said Mike Nelson in The Dispatch: \u201cKnow you enemy.\u201d He wrongly believed the U.S. and Israel\u2019s initial decapitation strikes would topple Iran.<\/p>\n
This war had left Trump \u201cadrift,\u201d said Peter Baker in The New York Times. Facing an opponent, he can\u2019t \u201cbend to his will and a geopolitical conflict that cannot be won through nasty social media posts.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Simon Tisdall states, \u201cTrump\u2019s self-love, not Iran, is global enemy No 1. He\u2019s the principal reason this war is escalating uncontrollably again. He\u2019s a one-man weapon of mass destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maryam Rajavi and her disappeared husband should also learn that the media controversy, focusing on one-sided narratives and even forging narratives will not conceal the crimes of \u201ca dangerous monster\u201d called Donald Trump. The Iranian nation who are tolerating the grieves and casualties of the war, hate the Rajavis and their Imperialist and Zionist sponsors. The Iranians\u2019 profound sense of satisfaction and identity derived from their nation is unheard of for the MEK leaders.<\/p>\n
