The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI; Persian: شورای ملی مقاومت ایران, romanized: Šurā-ye melli-e moqāvemat-e Īrān) is an Iranian political organization based in France and Albania and was founded by Massoud Rajavi and Abolhassan Banisadr.[4] The organization is a political coalition calling to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. The coalition is made up of different Iranian dissident groups, with its main member being the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK).[5][6][7] It is currently led by Maryam Rajavi.
The NCRI is also recognized as the MEK's diplomatic wing.[8][9][10] In 2002, the NCRI exposed the existence of an undisclosed uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, leading to concerns about Iran's nuclear program.[11][12][13][14] It was listed as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997, but was removed from this list in 2012 by the U.S. government.[9][15]
