29:05Now PlayingThe Muslim Students Association Persian-Speaking Group (MSA-PSG), a U.S.-based nonprofit with longstanding accusations of ties to the Iranian regime, is hosting its annual conference in Herndon, Virginia, from December 27 to 30. Operating under the theme “Resistance: An Islamic Duty,” the event features promotional material depicting armed soldiers and symbols associated with Hamas, raising alarms about its alignment with extremist narratives. The MSA-PSG, also called Anjoman Islamie, has been monitored by U.S. law enforcement since the 1980s, with the FBI labeling it “an extension of the present regime in Iran” in 1984 and alleging it was used for intelligence-gathering, targeting dissidents, and spreading Iranian propaganda. Founders Mostafa Chamran and Ebrahim Yazdi, instrumental figures in the 1979 Iranian Revolution, established the group after breaking from the Iranian Student Confederation. Despite accusations of receiving Iranian funding and even requiring loyalty pledges to the regime, the group operates as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, a status revoked in 2013 but later reinstated. Critics argue that its continued activities, including conferences promoting pro-Islamic Republic and extremist messages, highlight the Islamic Republic’s persistent efforts to maintain influence on U.S. soil under the guise of a nonprofit organization.
