Maryam Rajavi’s New Movements in France: Growing Controversy, Declining Support, and the Debate Over the NCRI’s Legitimacy

Digital Campaigns and Online Narratives

In recent years, the NCRI has expanded its presence across digital platforms. Social media campaigns, coordinated messaging, and multilingual content have become central tools in promoting Rajavi’s agenda.

These campaigns often focus on:

• Highlighting protests inside Iran
• Amplifying human rights concerns
• Promoting the Ten-Point Plan

However, analysts have noted patterns that raise questions about authenticity. Some studies suggest the use of:

• Highly coordinated posting behavior
• Repetitive messaging across accounts
• Amplification networks that resemble organized campaigns

While such strategies are not unique in modern political communication, they contribute to skepticism about the organic nature of support for the movement.
