For years, Democrats and Republicans in Congress have shown strong support for the MEK, the primary resistance organization against the Iranian regime. Lawmakers as diverse as Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy have advocated on behalf of members of the group. In our latest episode of “Iran: The Untold Story,” former Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) tells us about how bipartisan support for the group has grown over the decades, since the Islamic Revolution unfolded. Poe also makes the case that the leadership of the MEK and the broader coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, is prepared to step in to govern Iran should the current regime fall.
