“catalyst: A chemical that makes the polyester resin harden, usually MEK (methyl-ethyl-ketone)”

“Those that fled were predominantly royalists, leftists, and members of the Islamist-Socialist Mujahedin-e Khalgh, or the MEK, which, until its recent delisting by Washington, was considered a terrorist group by Iran and America alike. Some of those immigrants and their descendants became a visible part of the cultural scene in California, in Tehrangeles, the worst of which were depicted in the unflattering reality show⟳ Shahs of Sunset. Apart from the MEK, this older generation has mostly shied away from outright political activism, but many will sometimes support⟳ the idea of a new revolution, or even foreign intervention in Iran.”
