In the US he has started an opposition group called "Restart" which is currently active against the Islamic Republic. Since the start of his opposition group, Hosseini has attempted to attract young Iranians to his group with the ultimate aim of regime change. Hosseini encourages his followers to attack the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij bases and government buildings throughout the country as part of his plan to cause the collapse of the government.[2] The Restart movement led by Hosseini claims to have some 20 million followers worldwide and describes itself as the largest opposition group against the Islamic Republic of Iran, although this inflated claim does not parallel Hosseini’s followers on social media.[3]
