Following Raisi\u2019s inauguration, Khamenei also had a hand with installing cabinet members, which consist of many security and military veterans who are known for their involvement with the regime\u2019s campaign of corruption, terrorism and repression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MEK <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/past-12-months-signal-a-turbulent-road-ahead-for-irans-regime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cMany of Raisi\u2019s ministers are under U.S. sanctions for their role in the regime\u2019s illicit activities and human rights violations. Two of his key officials are wanted by Interpol for involvement in international terrorism. Raisi himself is blacklisted by the U.S. for his human rights violations as the head of the Judiciary, making him the first regime president to be the subject of foreign sanctions before taking office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regime\u2019s foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, has often laid out his intention to focus on a foreign policy based on terrorism. He has previously vowed to support the regime\u2019s proxy terrorist groups across the Middle East, and pledged to \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/news\/iran-news\/iran-future-fm-pledges-to-continue-policies-of-terror-mastermind-qassem-soleimani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continue the path\u2019 of Qassem Soleimani<\/a>, the mastermind behind many of the regime\u2019s terror operations. The former commander of the Revolutionary Guards (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/publications\/special-reports\/the-iranian-regimes-irgc-quds-force-1980s-present\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quds Force<\/a> was assassinated in January 2020 in a U.S. drone attack in Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK <\/a>said, \u201cOfficials are constantly warning that the people are infuriated about the role of the mullahs in the country\u2019s politics and economy. Millions of people see the stark contrast between their impoverished lives and the lavish and opulent lifestyle of the mullahs; they see their non-existent freedoms contrasting with the unearned privileges that the mullahs and their children enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian people have been vocal about expressing their hatred of the mullahs\u2019 regime, especially within the past year. Protests and demonstrations have erupted across Iran by all sectors of society, with each one more intense than the last. Most notably, the biggest protests have been in response to the severe water shortages in <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/?s=Khuzestan+\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Khuzestan <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/?s=Isfahan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Isfahan<\/a>, among other provinces. Also, the teacher protests have been ongoing for the past few years, as they demand better pay in a country ravaged by inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK\u2019s network inside Iran<\/a>, referred to as the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/?s=Resistance+Units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resistance Units<\/a>\u2019, have supported and been behind many of the protests, helping to deliver \u201cstrategic blows to the mullahs\u2019 apparatus.\u201d Earlier this year, they were responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/qassem-soleimanis-infamous-legacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">torching a statue of Soleimani<\/a>, in an act of defiance to the regime, that was unveiled in the city of Shahrekord to commemorate the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> anniversary of his elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major hack of the regime\u2019s state media on January 27 was also due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/t\/iranian-resistance-units\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MEK\u2019s network<\/a>. In several disruptions across the board, footage of the Iranian Opposition\u2019s leaders was broadcast across Iran, adding to the concerns of regime officials of the MEK\u2019s influence in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MEK <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/past-12-months-signal-a-turbulent-road-ahead-for-irans-regime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cTerrified of protests and uprisings, the clerical regime has accelerated executions to instill an atmosphere of terror. The regime is also emboldened by the appeasement policy of the West, which includes seemingly ceaseless concessions for Tehran to entice it to return to the highly flawed 2015 nuclear deal. Despite the regime\u2019s crackdown and ongoing appeasement from the West, the past 12 months have made crystal clear for the regime the threats to their core from the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year marks the 43rd anniversary of Iran\u2019s anti-monarchical revolution that overthrew the monarchy and the Shah\u2019s dictatorship in 1979.
