By Sadegh Pashm-Foroush The day after the announcement of the results of Iran’s sham presidential election, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei summoned the remaining members of the government of former regime president Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash on May 19. In his remarks to them—indirectly addressing new regime president Massoud Pezeshkian—he warned him and reminded him of the “model” of the president in the regime. The supreme leader repeatedly mentioned Raisi and said, “He is truly a model; we must all learn from him.” He then reiterated the concept of “heartfelt belief and practical commitment” to the regime, which Pezeshkian, like all the election candidates, had committed to. Khamenei stated, “Dear Raisi demonstrated as a model that one can possess these mental, heartfelt, and practical qualities as the president of a country and follow them in practice.” Of course, before the sham election, Pezeshkian repeatedly stated that he would continue Raisi...

MEK Resistance Units expand activities in several cities across Iran
MEK Resistance Units project images of Resistance leaders in Tehran.
Members of Resistance Units, an expanding network of brave and resilient Iranians associated with the opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), are escalating their ongoing campaign of measures aimed at weakening the regime’s crackdown across the country. In recent days, the Resistance Units carried out activities in several cities, including Tehran, Mashhad, Rasht, Sabzevar, and Isfahan.
In Rasht, one of the country’s main northern cities with a large population, anti-regime slogans were aired in public on June 23:
“Death to Khamenei, hail to Rajavi!” respectively referring to regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi.
“Death to Khamenei-Raisi!” another slogan read, referring to the regime supreme leader and regime President Ebrahim Raisi.
“Khomeini be damned!” referring to the regime’s first supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini.
The slogans also called Raisi as “the butcher of 1988,” referring to the pivotal role he played in the massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners in 1988.
In Sabzevar, the resistance units aired excerpts from speeches delivered by Mr. Rajavi and Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
In addition to anti-regime slogans, the Resistance Units aired slogans that reflect the Iranian people’s desire to overthrow the mullahs’ rule and not return to the dictatorship of the Shah:
“Neither the Shah nor the turban, the mullahs are running out of time.”
In Bojnurd, the Resistance Units aired anti-regime slogans at a public park on June 10, 2022, including slogans against Khamenei, Raisi, and the mullahs’ rule in its entirety. The Resistance Units called for accountability of the perpetrators of the 1988 massacre and made it clear that Iran’s people don’t want to return to the Shah dictatorship.
On June 12, Resistance Units projected large pictures of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi in Isfahan’s Zayandeh Rud Bus Terminal, one of the crowded parts of the city.
In Tehran, the Resistance Units projected the images of Resistance leaders in Tehran’s Kianshahr district, Azadegan Blvd.
These campaigns coincide with the Resistance Units ramping up their anti-regime activities across the country. In one notable case, the Resistance Units took over thousands of security cameras and servers of Tehran Municipality in May. Regime authorities are still struggling to bring back their systems online and have mostly lost control on their spying and surveillance apparatus.

By Struan Stevenson Having learned no lessons from the nationwide uprising that exploded last September following the brutal killing in custody of the young Kurdish girl Mahsa Amini, the Iranian regime’s misogynist morality police are on the move again. Last week, the Tehran Criminal Court sentenced a woman to two months in prison for hijab violations. The judge, Ali Omidi, accused her of “anti-Iranian behavior.” In a more sinister outburst, he also ordered that she should be subjected to compulsory health checks, as her failure to wear the hijab was a clear display of “disease” symptoms that “must be treated.” Such claims are frighteningly reminiscent of judgements in the former Soviet Union, where people who were considered anti-communist were deemed to be insane and were sent for electric shock treatment in psychiatric hospitals.The morality police tracked her down using images from a ‘smart’ CCTV camera. Similar cameras have been installed in public places in towns and cities...
Written by Mehdi Oghbai After months of flip-flop about adopting the so-called “internet protection bill,” the Iranian regime’s parliament hastily approved the generalities of the bill. Unlike its name, this bill will not protect millions of Iranians using the internet and social media platforms but further restricts their individual freedoms. Social media platforms such as Instagram are not just a placeholder of glossy images for millions of Iranians. They use these platforms to earn a living amid the country’s grim economic situation. Iran’s internet speed has significantly slowed down in the last month. Regime officials, fearing a public backlash, denied having approved and implemented the internet protection bill. Yet, the state-run Hamdeli daily on February 22 hinted that “this situation is signal of silent implementation of internet protection bill before its approval.” In an exclusive report about this bill on January 17, the Iranian Resistance wrote: “T...
Written by Aladdin Touran Iran is the victim of successive blackouts and power outages of the national grid. While the country ranked 12th in the world last year in terms of electricity generation, people struggle with frequent and unannounced blackouts in the heat of summer. The situation has shocked even the ruling regime with cries of “Death to Khamenei” in the east of Tehran following the power outage on July 3rd . The outgoing Minister of Energy Ardakanian of Hassan Rouhani’s government said that the power outage was due to the premature warming of the air and the decrease in rainfall . Mohammad Hassan Motavilizadeh, CEO of Tavanir , on April 23 said that the reduction in the volume of water in dam reservoirs, which reduces the production of hydropower by 40%, as an essential factor in electricity shortages . Meanwhile, the former Minister of Energy , w...
