Iranian Opposition Unveils National Liberation Army to Challenge Regime from Within

In a significant development for the Iranian opposition, Mohammad Mohaddessin, head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, announced the establishment of a “National Liberation Army” within Iran. This declaration was made during a conference in Brussels on Wednesday, marking what Mohaddessin termed a “qualitative shift” in the opposition’s strategy against the Iranian regime.

According to Mohaddessin, the newly formed army comprises approximately 250 fighters affiliated with the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. He revealed that these fighters executed an attack targeting the compound of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, just five days prior to the onset of the recent conflict. This location is noted for being one of the most heavily fortified areas in the country.

The opposition leader further elaborated that “Resistance Units,” which have been operational across all 31 provinces of Iran for nearly a decade, are evolving into a more organized and combat-ready force. He emphasized that these units are becoming the backbone of the newly announced National Liberation Army.

In his address to the international community, Mohaddessin outlined several demands, including the recognition of the Iranian people’s right to resist the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the establishment of a provisional transitional government representing the opposition. He also called for the closure of Iranian embassies worldwide, while asserting that the opposition does not seek financial aid, weapons, or foreign military intervention, insisting that any change must arise from within Iran.

This announcement comes at a time of heightened regional and international tensions involving Iran, suggesting a potential escalation in political and security confrontations as opposition activities intensify both domestically and abroad. As of now, Iranian authorities have not issued any official response to these claims.
