As a result, 2021 saw a new peak of escalating demonstrations and protests by a frustrated, enraged society. The level of unrest across Iran has greatly highlighted the Iranian people\u2019s demand for the overthrow of their theocratic, fascist rulers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing a significant role in the organization of the protests and demonstrations, across the country, is the network of \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a>\u2019 who are affiliated with the regime\u2019s main opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chairman of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>\u2019s (NCRI)<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Foreign Affairs Committee<\/a>, Mr. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mohaddessin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mohammad Mohaddessin, <\/a>was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/resistance-units-iran-societys-response-to-mullahs-rule-of-terror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">questioned <\/a>in regard to this developing topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When questioned about what the Resistance Units are, Mohaddessin said, \u201cWhat has kept this illegitimate regime in power after 43 years is its practice of unbridled domestic crackdown. The religious dictatorship, with dozens of intelligence, military, and security institutions, has gone the distance to keep this notion of fear alive throughout the Iranian society that the regime is strong, and no internal or external force can stand against it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fear is not just limited to domestic borders either. Through the regime\u2019s proxy groups and their missile program, this sense of fear is being expanded across the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohaddessin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/resistance-units-iran-societys-response-to-mullahs-rule-of-terror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">described <\/a>the \u2018Resistance Units\u2019 as \u201csledgehammers that break this atmospheric crackdown.\u201d They have established a vast network across Iran, with groups of \u201cbrave youths\u201d who are fighting to take down the religious dictatorship once and for all, and it is apparent that they are on the verge of accomplishing that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the question of how many resistance units exist in Iran, and whether this movement is nationwide, Mohaddessin stated that the network, which has been active for the past five years, contains thousands of young Iranians in \u201cmany cities, towns, and villages across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing how these units are able to stand up against the regime, he stated that the members are able to communicate at a deep personal level with people in their local areas to plant the \u2018idea\u2019 and \u2018mentality\u2019 of resistance, and then to expand to the broader public, social media platforms are the preferred method to share the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said, \u201cWhat is important is the fact that weapons and technology lack the will to overcome an organized force that relies on its people and has a legitimate objective. Such an entity is able to expand, and nothing can stand in its path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regard to the topic of any threats faced by the individuals within the Resistance Units, Mohaddessin explained that a large number of people been arrested during their various activities, and even subjected to torture. The regime has often issued death sentences for these individuals also, with many of them being killed during crackdowns of protests at the hands of the regime\u2019s security forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pertinent question posed was in regards to the regime\u2019s involvement in the current negotiations over its nuclear program, and what impact these are likely to have within Iranian society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohaddessin stated that \u2018change is a duty that rests on the shoulders of the Iranian people and their organized resistance\u2019, and highlighted that the appeasement policy that has been applied to the regime by international powers, along with the concessions that has been given to them, are the only things that are keeping the rule of the mullahs alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohaddessin said, \u201cIn such circumstances, we are hoping that the global community stands firm against the regime and not allow the fascist mullahs to take advantage of the international community\u2019s soft approach, especially that of the West.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>began discussing about the unrest inside Iran, and the subsequent protests against the regime, five years ago. The final question during Mohaddessin\u2019s interview queried whether the developments so far are heading towards fundamental change in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His response was that the Iranian Resistance \u201cwill most definitely trek down the final segments of this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohaddessin said, \u201cThe<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/?s=Resistance+Units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Resistance Units<\/a>\u2019 message to the world is: Don\u2019t fear this regime and stand firm against it.
