Actually the most serious rival to Khomeini's party
after the Revolution was the Tudeh or Communist Party.
The supporters of the Shah of course also remain a
political force, though stronger in the US than in
Iran. (It's usually they who advocate action against
Iran today.)
I see that Mohadessin is upset that his People's
Mujahedin are still listed as a terrorist
organization. Given his current pro-US position, I
guess that will be updated soon.
O.K.
