National Council of the Resistance

The National Council of Resistance (NCR) is an umbrella organization established in 1981 by the main resistance group opposing the Iranian government, primarily representing the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK). It aims to coordinate efforts for regime change and promote democratic values in Iran. The NCR acts as a political alliance, advocating for human rights, democracy, and the overthrow of the current theocratic regime, often collaborating with international supporters to influence policy and raise awareness about Iran’s political situation.
