People's Mujahedin of Iran

The People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran, or the Mujahedin-e-Khalq, is an Iranian political-militant organization. It advocates overthrowing the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran and installing its own government. Its revolutionary interpretation of Islam contrasts with the conservative Islam of the traditional clergy as well as the populist version developed by Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1970s. It is also considered the Islamic Republic of Iran's biggest and most active political opposition group.
