The US has officially declared the National Council of Resistance of Iran (Mojahedin-e-Khalq organization) as terrorist and illegal, frozen their accounts, and banned any assistance to them; perhaps due to the unjustifiability of the double standard policy regarding terrorists that is not accepted from the US, although it has shown leniency toward them.

Gradually, differences among Shiite factions are also emerging.
