Less than a month ago, following a Congressional hearing addressed by Maryam Rajavi, some representatives of the US Congress announced their support for the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in a resolution.
According to information available on the US Congress website, the resolution in question was submitted by 160 Cosponsors (106 Republicans, 54 Democrats). This is despite the fact that only three representatives of Congress were present at the hearing on February 26th, 2025.
Zoe Lofgren, Tom McClintock and Brad Sherman were supposedly representing their colleagues to refer the Resolution H.Res. 166 to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Why the remaining representatives supporting the MEK were not present at this meeting is a good question to be asked. The answer to this question lies in the points that follow. Points that show that the resolution is arbitrary and based on false information and is even clearly authored by the MEK, as the financial sponsor of the whole scenario.
Where is the voice of the Iranian people?
Nowhere in the resolution is there a trace of statistics or documents about the type of government the Iranian people want or their level of approval for the MEK and Maryam Rajavi. This is despite the fact that according to the text of the resolution, the signatories have introduced the MEK as a subversive force and Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point plan as a model for the future government in Iran.
It goes without saying that if anyone wants to think logically and comprehensively about changing the government in Iran, in addition to polling the Iranian people, it is necessary to consider other opposition groups as well.
Woman, Resistance, Freedom?!
Even the most ignorant politicians know that the slogan “Woman, Resistance, Freedom” has never been a topic in Iranian society, and the removal of the word “life” from the overarching slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom” is solely a fabrication of the MEK, as a cult-like group that openly considers “life” to be the enemy of struggle.
The submitters are congressmen from a country that considers itself the Super Power of the world and sets tasks for regime change for another country and defines the type of government for it. However, they are too ignorant to have heard the slogan “Women, Life, Freedom”! How were they able to hear “Woman, Resistance, Freedom”?
“Woman, Resistance, Freedom” was only transmitted in the hashtags of the MEK’s virtual army on social networks from their Albanian base, in the remote village in North of Tirana, Manez.
Paid Advocacy
It is not strange that the submitters are not surprised that the fabricated slogan “Woman, Resistance, Freedom” is claimed to be the demand of the Iranian people while they have never heard it in the streets of Iran, because it is likely that many of those whose names are listed as submitters have not read the text of the resolution at all.
They did not read it and eventually did not object to the text. This shows their extreme ignorance. Nonetheless, the point is something else. This obvious contradiction of the resolution’s text with the reality in the world makes it clear that the donations of the MEK are so compelling that a congressman, without attending a hearing or reading the text of the resolution, would declare his support for an organization with a history of terrorism, extremism and cult-like violence.
Ultimately, American representatives should be asked whether they would accept a foreign force to declare what kind of government their country should have or who should govern it with what intentions?
In any case, this resolution is a politically signaling, not policy making, and according to the estimates on the Congress website, the probability of its approval is 13 percent. However, its wording suggests foreign approval of a specific political outcome – which has led to interventions that ignores the action and will of the Iranian people.
