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.

In Iran's Resurgent Resistance, Professor Ivan Sascha Sheehan, a counterterrorism scholar and leading authority on U.S. policy toward Iran, reflects on a journey made by a bipartisan delegation of senior U.S. officials deep into Iran's resistance community and outlines how U.S. officials routinely fail to understand the Iranian regime's nature, temperament, disposition, and designs. Sheehan reveals how Iran's principal opposition to clerical rule has been falsely portrayed in Washington and makes the case that Iran's dissident community is best positioned to bring about democratic change. The author challenges the false narratives peddled by Tehran's illiberal apologists, examines the opposition's call for a democratic future, and makes a convincing case for a more effective U.S. policy toward Iran.Praised by senior leaders in the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the Department of State, this timely book features a Preface by Senator Joseph Lieberman (former Democratic Nominee for Vice President); a Foreword by Senator Robert G. Torricelli (D-New Jersey) and Ambassador Robert G. Joseph, Ph.D. (former Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security); and an Afterword by Colonel Wesley Martin (former Senior Antiterrorism Officer for All Coalition Forces - Iraq).
