The Iranian regime, stuck in the\ndilemma of domestic and international crises, sees its\nsurvival in the annihilation of the Iranian resistance. Regime\u2019s terror\nplots and psychological warfare campaign to demonize the MEK\/PMOI and the\nIranian resistance are nothing new. But in past years, these actions of the regime, and the MEK revelations of them were ignored due to the appeasement policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\nthis dirty psychological warfare against the MEK, the mullahs regime is bringing into\nits service the media outlets and social networks as well as fraudulent propaganda system both inside the country and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foiled bombing plot which aimed the grand gathering of the Iranian resistance in France in June 2018, masterminded by Assadollah Asadi<\/a>, regime\u2019s terrorist diplomat and the deliverer of the bomb, as well as the revelation of mullahs regime\u2019s fake accounts on Tweeter for enhancing psychological warfare and demonizing the MEK<\/a>, once more underscores this truth that the root of all the devilish allegations against the NCRI<\/a> and the MEK\/PMOI<\/a> lies in the hands of the religious fascism ruling Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The psychological warfare in our era is achieved\nby the misuse of social media, the dissemination of fake news, the allocation of funds for biased and false reports, and even the recruitment of journalists\ndirectly or through intermediaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the importance of this issue, the role of\nmedia in our time should be broadcasting and\npublishing real news. In describing this psychological\nwarfare, Professor Ivan Sascha Sheehan and Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras have disclosed important\nfacts in their articles about the role of some media outlets and their cooperation with the Iranian regime. This helps in knowing the dimensions of this demonization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Ivan\nSascha Sheehan<\/a> has explained in his article how these news\norganizations<\/a> were selected as a tool for conducting psychological warfare. He has also reasoned the increase of\nthis demonizing\ncampaigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his article, Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras<\/a> has laid out the process of using fake news<\/a> and the conduct of psychological war at the international level by the regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that to continue its callous rule and to lay the ground for its terror operations and to deceive the public, the mullahs regime misuses, full force, the global media, social networks and diplomatic elements. It disseminates fake news through media such as the Guardian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is for\nyears that the Iranian resistance has been disclosing this psychological\nwarfare, representing specific documents\nand information<\/a> showing the connection of such media and journalists with the\nMOIS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the\nappeasement policy of the west has ignored them all. Now that era is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people of Iran, alongside their resistance units of the MEK networks are changing the political and social scene of Iran. The advancement of the mullahs regime\u2019s true and legitimate alternative is tightening the international noose along the neck of this regime. Therefore, the clerical regime will not be able to change its destiny, though it fuels this psychological warfare by hiring the so-called journalists and media, and spreading fake news affecting the public opinion of the world. No doubt, the regime\u2019s end is within reach. Iranian people\u2019s determination, which is proved in their continuous protests and uprisings, as well as the activities of resistance units<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
