The Iranian Opposition refers to various groups and individuals who oppose the current government of Iran, particularly the Islamic Republic established after the 1979 revolution. These opposition factions include political parties, activists, and exiled groups that seek to promote democracy, human rights, and reform within the country. Key players in the Iranian Opposition include the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and various reformist movements. They often face significant challenges, including government repression, censorship, and limited international support, which complicate their efforts to bring about change in Iran.
