For the past weeks, the propaganda arm of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) has resorted to every means to derail the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the world powers. The MKO is not alone in its crisis mongering policy. It is widely supported by American Neo-cons, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The MKO’s consensus with enemies of the Iranian nation and government is mainly seen in its regime change policy which is the dream of Israel, American warmongers and even Saudi Arabia. Their ultimate ambition is Bombing Iran.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK), an MEK supporter, has claimed that bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities can be done easily in only “a few days.” Cotton has also called on the President not to cooperate with Iran because “it has blood of hundreds of Americans on its hands,” whereas it was in fact the MEK that assassinated American advisers in Iran in the 1970s, according to Muhammad Sahimi of the Antiwar.com.

Earlier in May 2015, the GlobeMoslims reported that Mojahedin-e Khalq voiced readiness to help Saudi Arabia in Yemen. “MKO Leader Maryam Rajavi in a meeting with Saudi Ambassador to Paris Mohammad Al Sheikh said that the grouplet is willing to cooperate with Riyadh to carry out its attacks against the Yemeni nation,” the report revealed.

Including the tools Israel uses to demonize Iran to prevent the likely nuclear agreement, Muhammad Sahimi suggests, ”A forth way of demonizing Iran is by claiming that Iran is similar to the Islamic State and “1000 times worse” and “bigger.” He clarifies that making this absurd claim has been Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s way of preventing the nuclear agreement. “This is while Iran has been fighting the IS in Iraq, and in fact many experts believe that only Iran can defeat the IS, “he adds. “At the same time, Israel has been working with Jabhat al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda branch in Syria, in an attempt to defeat the Iran-backed regime of President Bashar al-Assad.” [3]
Sahimi introduces the MO as “an Iranian armed opposition cult that sided with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, and acted as his internal security forces against his regime’s opponents”. Thus, it seems quiet natural that the MKO helps anyone who is in line with its ambitions, just like the way it aided Saddam Hussein against its own countrymen during the eight years of Iran-Iraq war.
“In advancing this narrative, Netanyahu has been helped by the Mujahedin-e Khalgh Organization (MEK, also known as MKO) and its lobby in the United States,” writes Sahimi. He refers to the harmony between the both edges of the Iranians’ enemy: “The MEK leader Maryam Rajavi has made the same claims as Netanyahu’s, calling the Islamic Republic the IS’ “Godfather”. She even testified via satellite before a congressional subcommittee, repeating the same nonsense.” [4]
About the MKO propaganda machine, Muhammad Sahimi explains, “Parallel to Israel, and perhaps even coordinated with it, the MEK lobbyists in the United States have been making the same type of claims, advocating that the US should help the MEK to topple the regime in Tehran, even though the cult is universally despised in Iran”. 5]
While the nuclear talks are reaching the final compromise sooner or later, the MKO harder beats on the war drums to flatter its sponsors.
