Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei made his thoughts crystal clear. “The incidents were organized” and carried out by the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), he said although using a different term. “The [MEK] had prepared for this months ago” and “the [MEK’s] media outlets had called for it.” The MEK is best known for first blowing the whistle on Iran's clandestine nuclear program back in 2002 and raising awareness over the possible...

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN AND NCRI  By INU Staff INU - After many years of the US attempting to appease the Iranian regime, American commitment to economic sanctions has been effectively reestablished, and even expanded, with President Trump’s announcement on October 13 that his administration would be targeting the entirety of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps for its support of global terrorism and its crimes against the Iranian people.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing that US policy in the Middle East should includ...
