The ayatollahs' regime intensifies digital attacks to hit the Iranian opposition in Albania, while Tirana tries to avoid escalation...
Recent cyberattacks by Iran have targeted Albania, with the aim of blocking and monitoring the activity of the Iranian opposition based in Manzë. Although more limited than those of 2022, these attacks confirm the Tehran regime’s concern about the opposition led by Maryam Rajavi, which promotes a republican and secular model for Iran. Reports from partner services speak of an active Iranian espionage network in the country, while Albania, with cyber support from Israel, tries to maintain the balance between national security and geopolitical pressures, in a complex game that goes beyond the borders of the Balkans.
Iran has been carrying out cyberattacks against Albania for days, with the aim of blocking access and activity of the Iranian opposition located in Manzë.
As it is learned, these attacks have not had the intensity of those in 2022, when Iranian hackers managed to acquire a large portion of the data of Albanian citizens, which was then published online.
Meanwhile, these attacks have been countered by the cyber defense system, which Albania has received from Israel for years.
The Iranian opposition in Albania has not been very active recently in waging an open political war, despite the ongoing protests in Iran.
This is because official Tirana has asked them not to engage in diversionary activities, as doing so would directly implicate Albania and expose the country to a harsh response from the ayatollahs' regime.
Meanwhile, partner secret services have long sounded the alarm that there is a significant Iranian espionage network in Albania, whose main objective is to intercept and monitor the activities of the Mujahideen of Manza.
The Iranian regime fears this opposition more, even though it is relatively small and has been in exile for years.
This is because the opposition led by Maryam Rajavi represents the exact opposite of the ayatollahs' regime and is also a strong opponent of the Pahlavi dynasty's return to the throne.
The Pahlavi dynasty is being strongly supported by Israel, which at the same time has kept the Mujahideen opposition isolated. This opposition represents a broad political and ethnic spectrum of Iran, including all the nationalities and minorities that make up the country. Kurds and Azeris are an important component of it, in addition to leaders of Persian nationality.
The Mujahideen seek the creation of a republican regime, with general elections and a state run not by a clerical regime, but by secular institutions.
Maryam Rajavi has presented a 10-point plan, calling for the building of a universal democracy, respect for human rights, especially women's, as well as a proportional representation of other nationalities and minorities.
Rajavi calls for a fully secular state and respect for all religious beliefs, which are currently held in fear by the clerical regime.
However, it is learned that both the Trump administration and Israel have kept this secular opposition at bay, promoting the son of former king Reza Pahlavi, who is hated by a large part of the Iranian people as much as Ali Khamenei.
The Mujahideen of Manza have always held out hope to Donald Trump and the Republicans for a tougher stance on the Iranian regime. But their exclusion from the ongoing planning and negotiations for Iran's future has deeply troubled them.
They fear that they will once again be left out of decision-making on the country's future, even though they have been among the most important actors in helping the US recognize the Iranian reality.
The Mujahideen have played a key role, particularly in discovering Iran's nuclear arsenal and its development sites, which were bombed by the US during Israel's 13-day war a few months ago./ Pamphlet
