The Ayatollah's Hidden Hand: Tehran's Covert Campaign to Undermine Its Principal Opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)

In this informative and well-presented volume, Professor Ivan Sascha Sheehan pulls back the curtain on the regime's propaganda franchise. He reveals the excessive investment of funding, infrastructure, and workforce frantically trying to convince Iranians and the world not to believe their own eyes and ears. After years of trying to ignore the MEK, hoping others would do the same, regime officials now seemingly cannot stop talking about how effectively the MEK's message and organizing efforts are empowering the national uprising. Sheehan's research makes clear that the regime is scared, knowing that there is a blueprint and a competent political organization - run at every level by women - ready to help guide Iran to a legitimate constitutional future when the regime crumbles, just as happened with the Shah.
