Rouhani’s Remarks, in an Appeal to the French President, Reflect His Panic Over the Popular Uprising and the Popularity of the PMOI

Citing Iran’s “state television”, AFP reported that while making a clear allusion to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, Rouhani told President Macron, “We criticize the fact that a terrorist group has a base in France and acts against the Iranian people and encourages violence. We expect the French government to act against this terrorist group “.

These remarks reflect above all the anxiety of the mullahs’ regime in the face of the expansion of the uprising against the religious dictatorship and the growing popularity of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) and the Iranian Resistance. Rouhani accused the PMOI of violence, while the European Union, its member countries, as well as the United States, strongly criticized the Iranian regime for the repression of demonstrations, killing and seriously injuring many people and President Macron has expressed concern on the death of the protestors. To date, dozens of unarmed protesters have been killed by Revolutionary Guards and thousands more arrested.
