2024 Report: PMOI Resistance Units Lead Courageous Activities for Iran’s Freedom
Throughout 2024, the PMOI Resistance Units emerged as the unwavering torchbearers of Iran’s uprising, instilling hope and courage among the oppressed. In daring defiance of the regime’s brutal security apparatus, these activists conducted widespread operations, from commemorating martyrs to marking pivotal events like the anniversary of Massoud Rajavi’s release from the prisons of the Shah regime. Across cities such as Tehran, Zahedan, Shiraz, and Kermanshah, they showcased their resilience through banners, graffiti, and public demonstrations, echoing slogans like “Death to the oppressor” and “Woman, Resistance, Freedom.”
The Resistance Units also rejected the regime’s sham elections and dictatorship, actively boycotting and dismantling regime propaganda. Their defiance carried immense risk, with affiliation to the PMOI punishable by death or severe repression. Yet, their actions persist, projecting images of freedom and democracy, and uniting Iran’s people in their aspiration for change. Against all odds, the PMOI Resistance Units remain a beacon of hope for a liberated Iran.
How The Death of Qasem Soleimani Weakened The Foundations of Iran’s Regime
The death of Qassem Soleimani on January 3, 2020, was one of the most significant political and military events with far-reaching impacts on Iran, the region, and the world. As the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Soleimani played a central role in exporting terrorism and regional warmongering. Due to his extensive actions in the region and systematic crimes, he was one of the most detested figures of the regime after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
On the fifth anniversary of this event and following the domino-like collapse of the strategic depth of the Iranian regime, it is clearer how the death of this criminal significantly weakened the foundation of religious fascism.
The Root Causes of Iran’s Energy Imbalance: Subsidies, Inefficiencies, and Rent-Seeking Structures
On Saturday, January 4, the Iranian regime’s President Masoud Pezeshkian announced the establishment of the “Energy Optimization and Strategic Management Organization” during a working group meeting to address the country’s energy imbalance. The meeting, attended by the heads of the three branches of government, emphasized the urgent need to reform Iran’s energy consumption policies. Among the proposals discussed were plans to fine high-consumption households and offer economic incentives to low-consumption ones.
However, the government’s focus on household energy consumption overlooks a critical fact: official statistics reveal that the majority of energy waste occurs in large industries, not in the household sector. Key industries like petrochemicals and steel dominate gas and electricity consumption, and their inefficient practices are a primary driver of the country’s energy crisis. Yet, government policies remain concentrated on influencing citizens’ consumption habits while largely neglecting industrial reform.
Fuel Smuggling in Iran: A Crisis Tied to Corruption and Mismanagement
Iran is grappling with an ongoing fuel smuggling crisis that drains billions of dollars from its economy each year. While Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian regime’s president, recently claimed that 20 to 30 million liters of fuel are smuggled daily, many speculate that elements within the regime itself are deeply involved in this illicit trade to cover financial deficits. Pezeshkian’s revelation sparked applause from some members of the so-called reformist faction, who hailed his “bravery” in exposing the smuggling mafia. However, mounting evidence suggests that the real orchestrator behind the fuel smuggling operation is the regime’s own Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a powerful and shadowy force with extensive economic and political influence.
Surge in Femicide Victims in Iran
Welcome to the NCRI Women’s Committee podcast. As always, we are here to amplify the voices of women in Iran and shed light on the struggles they face under the clerical regime.

To begin, let us remember Ghazaaleh Hodoodi, a 27-year-old mother from Sanandaj, whose life was tragically cut short just last week. This young woman’s story is heartbreaking, and her case is emblematic of the institutionalized violence women endure daily in Iran.
Could you tell us more about Ghazaaleh’s story and what makes her case particularly significant?
