Iran Can't Agree to a Damn Thing

During the chaotic days of Iran's Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the country's emerging "supreme leader," assured Iranians that their supposed oppressor, the United States, would not be able to put the hated shah back on his throne. "America can't do a damn thing against us," he inveighed, a winning line that became the uprising's unofficial slogan. It's a catchphrase Iran has deployed time and again since, most recently in a taunting billboard along the Iran-Iraq border and in a banner hung in front of a captured American drone (though hilariously, in the latter case, the hapless banner-makers mistranslated the phrase as "America Can Do No Wrong").

The Mullahs in Tehran, increasingly aware of mounting international isolation and a devastated economy have now come face-to-face with reality. They were dealt another major blow when the US State Department officially removed Iran's largest opposition organisation, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), from the US Foreign Terrorist List. It was a devastating defeat for the corrupt and oppressive Iranian regime. That decision came after a lengthy legal battle, the first of its kind in US history, with the judiciary effectively ordering the de-listing after finding that the PMOI's due process rights had been violated. Tehran's knee-jerk reaction was a heavier dose of the prescription they have been using for the past three decades. As Tehran grows desperate, it has bolstered its campaign of demonisation and slander against the PMOI.
