London, 2 Nov - The Iranian Regime is now using fake news to discredit a female activist and the popular people’s resistance as a whole in order to pit the people against each other and divide an activist family.
Mere days after Donald Trump delivered his speech on the Iran deal and the oppression faced by the Iranian people, the Regime’s press published a false story about lifelong activist, Somayeh Mohammadi, defecting from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK).
Mohammadi, who now resides in Tirana, Albania, with many other MEK activists who fled persecution at the hands of Iranian proxies in Iraq, has not defected. She left Canada for Iraq years ago in order to help the MEK achieve freedom for Iran at the suggestion of her father (then a MEK activist); that’s not the sort of thing one turns their back on.
Mohammadi said: “I was shocked to hear this fake report of me defecting from the MEK in Iran’s press and state TV stations. How could they resort to such a disgraceful false report while knowing I am still alive and will certainly deny such ridiculous allegations?”
This is not the first time that the Iranian Regime has used fake news against Mohammadi personally.
After the 2003 occupation of Iraq, Iranian intelligence officials told her father that she was being held in a so-called MEK prison in Iraq (no such thing existed) and that he could save her with a demonizing campaign against the resistance group.
Unfortunately, her father complied and the campaign continues, even though Mohammadi lives in Europe. He even made a documentary in 2014 about it, which claimed that she was being held against her will by the MEK.
Although, it is worth noting that he might have believed that his cooperation would keep his daughter safe from agents of the Regime who attacked the MEK camps in Iraq, as anyone who knows the MEK, knows that they don’t have prisons.
In response to the abuse of her family, Mohammadi wrote a book, called The End of a Conspiracy, which exposed the crimes and lies of the Regime.
She said that in 2014 the Regime recognised that their days were numbered due to increased public dissents and heavy UN sanctions. This is why they increased the smear campaign against the MEK (to lessen the people's support for regime change) and entered into negotiations with the West (to end the sanctions.
Mohammadi described the Regime’s propaganda campaign against her and the MEK as “embarrassing” and “desperate”.
Mohammadi noted that the new US policy on Iran is likely to have driven the Regime’s propaganda machine into overdrive again to decrease the likelihood of Regime change. The Regime should be worried.
Many Iranian people have felt emboldened by Trump’s comments and as such have taken to the street in large number protesting oppression and corruption.
Written by Shamsi Saadati Paris, France – On Saturday, May 17, 2025, an influential international conference convened in Paris, uniting parliamentarians and prominent political figures from a wide array of countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Malta, Switzerland, Romania, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The central theme of the gathering was the urgent need for a new, decisive international policy towards Iran, with a strong emphasis on supporting democratic change and recognizing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) as a viable alternative to the current regime. The event served as a significant platform for global lawmakers to voice their concerns over the deteriorating human rights situation in Iran, the regime’s escalating domestic repression, its destabilizing regional activities, and its persistent pursuit of a nuclear program. A recurring call throughout the conference was for Western governments to adopt a firmer stance, including the ...
By Reza Hoseani Iran’s economic crisis is no longer just a headline — it has become part of everyday life. Skyrocketing prices, the continuous collapse of the national currency, and shrinking household purchasing power are now affecting nearly every segment of society. But an important question remains: Are these hardships truly the direct result of war and external pressure, or are they rooted in domestic economic policies and political decisions? While state media repeatedly blame regional tensions and foreign conflicts for inflation and market instability, many economists argue that the current crisis is driven far more by internal policymaking than by war itself. War as a Cover for Internal Economic Failure For years, whenever Iran’s economy entered a deeper phase of crisis, official narratives pointed to external enemies and international tensions. However, economic experts say the immediate impact of war rarely causes inflation on this scale in such a sho...
By Reza Hoseani Is Washington’s economic fury more effective than military warfare? An examination of the United States’ new sanctions targeting the IRGC’s financial lifelines and their impact on Iran’s explosive social environment. Amid the regime’s paralyzing deadlock between war and restraint, Washington has made its choice unmistakably clear: an all-out economic war instead of a large-scale military war. This choice is not the product of moderation. Rather, it reflects an understanding that economic pressure may be more lethal to the regime, less costly for the West, and more socially acceptable to the Iranian people than military intervention. 1. From “Maximum Pressure” to “Economic Fury”: The IRGC’s Lifelines in the Crosshairs In recent months, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has escalated economic pressure through two new initiatives. First came what has been described as Operation Economic Fury, announced by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. He stated explicitly ...
