State Officials Warn Against MEK

In a meeting with a group of Sharif University officials in Tehran, the Iranian regime’s president Ebrahim Raisi discussed the recent crackdown on this college and said: “The United States, the hypocrites (the regime’s term to slander the MEK) and other enemies of the country tried to pursue their anti-Iranian and anti-revolutionary goals inside Sharif University. We are sure that this university will not allow ill-wishers and the MEK to disrupt this place.”

But one night before this action, a thousand evil people were identified and arrested by the police, the IRGC, and Intelligence.
