The Iranian Intelligence Ministry’s Agents and Front Organizations Abroad
The Iranian Resistance is
working towards eradicating the threat of war and fundamentalism from Iran, the
region, and the world. Its efforts are geared towards establishing a democracy
and respect for human rights in Iran.
The Iranian Resistance has played a crucial role in exposing the regime’s
nuclear program, as well as its destructive meddling in Iraq and other
parts of the world.
In order to pave the way
for the realization of their goals, and to neutralize the political and
diplomatic advances of the Iranian Resistance, the mullahs conduct misinformation
campaigns and psychological wars to discredit and tarnish the image of the main
component of the Iranian Resistance, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of
Iran (PMOI).
In order to vilify the PMOI
and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI – a broad coalition of
democratic Iranian opposition groups and personalities, of which the PMOI is a
member organization), the mullahs make use of their agents and associates to set
up numerous front organizations and networks in European countries and the United States.
The mullahs wholly disregard
the principles of human rights and democratic norms and regulations, and for
this reason they have consistently topped the list of government violators of
human rights in the world. Nonetheless, the mullahs cunningly exploit the
democratic conditions of the U.S. and European countries, and especially take
advantage of the policy of appeasement these governments have adopted towards
them, to send their agents abroad in order to set up various networks and
disseminate false accusations against the PMOI with respect to human rights
that are only attributable to the regime itself. Through these efforts, the
mullahs determinedly aim to discredit and tarnish the image of the strongest
and largest organized resistance to their rule, i.e. the PMOI and the NCRI, in a
bid to provide the political groundwork in Western countries for the
suppression and imposition of further pressures against that democratic
alternative. In the end, the religious fascism intends to prevent the formation
of any serious prospect of change in the current circumstances, which could
jeopardize its rule in Iran.
In addition to dedicating
hundreds of millions of dollars annually to attain its goal, the mullahs’
regime has unofficially begun to utilize the resources of a number of other
government ministries and state-run organizations, including agents, networks,
and front associations in Europe and the U.S., who mask themselves as part of
the “opposition” to the religious dictatorship in Iran. Throughout its rule,
the Iranian regime has executed 120,000 PMOI members, sympathizers, and Iranian
people, as well as torturing 500,000 more. Accordingly, it has been condemned
over 53 times by various United Nations bodies. Neither such a dark record of
human rights violations nor designations like “the biggest state sponsor of
terror,” realistically permit the regime to openly disseminate its propaganda
and allegations against the Iranian Resistance through its official channels.
Therefore, the mullahs’ Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) sends its
agents abroad in the guise of “opposition activists,” and sets up front
organizations. The latter then create internet sites, publish and distribute
numerous publications, books, and pamphlets, and organize various conferences
and meetings in order to carry out the regime’s propaganda and political plots
against the Iranian Resistance in Europe and the U.S. Agents and associations
that deny their true political affiliations and links to the mullahs’ MOIS,
present themselves as “former PMOI members and officials” who continue to
oppose the mullahs.
These agents, associations,
websites, and publications outside of Iran
are linked to their relevant sources within Iran, and are supported and directed
by them in every single respect (such as financial, technical, political,
logistical, legal, communications, etc.). For example, the main political and
propaganda directives against the Iranian Resistance at each stage and in all
aspects are planned and communicated by the MOIS in Iran. The affiliated agents and
front associations outside of Iran,
impart, relay, or link those allegations and publications, or if necessary,
even create various versions more appealing to a Western audience.
The Iran Payvand
association, Iran-Interlink association, Ava society, Pen society, and their related
websites, form part of the MOIS network abroad. Combined, these create a vast
interconnected network. Organizations within Iran operate as the main sources of
guidance for these groups.
The German and Dutch
Intelligence Reports
Intelligence reports from various European countries clearly prove some
of the regime’s plots to carry out a misinformation campaign against the
Iranian Resistance. Annual reports from the German Federal Office for the
Protection of the Constitution (BFV) reiterate that the MOIS’s main target
abroad is the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the PMOI. The
MOIS attempts to employ former members of these organizations for intelligence
gathering and conducting of misinformation against the PMOI in order to weaken
and discredit the organization.
The Dutch Security Services
(AIVD) wrote in its 1998 report that, “… It is still being noted that Iranian
intelligence services are active in the Netherlands. Iranian agents are
determined to identify members of opposition groups in order to destabilize
their organizations. The current and former members of the MEK [i.e. PMOI] are
especially monitored by Iran’s
intelligence services. Iran’s
MOIS intimidates Iranians to coerce them into cooperation.”
Some of the mullahs’
intelligence agents who operate in European countries under the guise of
refugees, but in fact carry out various MOIS-directed missions in those
countries and participate in well-financed meetings and assemblies organized by
the Iranian regime, are identified in this brochure.
