MEK Resistance Units Confront Regime\u2019s Energy Exploitation Amid Growing Power Crisis in Iran<\/h3>\n
As Iran enters a summer marked by crippling power shortages and official admissions of failure, PMOI<\/a>\/MEK Resistance Units<\/a> in Tehran are taking bold steps to hold the regime accountable. On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, activists in the Nazi Abad district publicly challenged the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC<\/a>) and the Basij <\/a>paramilitary forces, accusing them of being the primary \u201celectricity thieves\u201d fueling the country\u2019s energy crisis.<\/p>\n
Displaying pointed slogans like \u201cIf IRGC\u2019s electricity is cut, the power shortage will be solved,\u201d and \u201cThieves of the nation\u2019s electricity: IRGC<\/a>, Basij<\/a>, Velayat [Supreme Leader],\u201d the Resistance Units directed public outrage at the regime\u2019s entrenched corruption and mismanagement. Their actions directly contradict state narratives that blame the public for the ongoing crisis.<\/p>\n
