… Sixty members of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) had entered Afghanistan with the help of intelligence forces from the United Arab Emirates with the aim of carrying out raids in Iran, Pouya News reported on Sunday. The group, which was faced with strong resistance from the Iranian troops stationed on the border attempted to withdraw when it came under heavy Taliban fire from the Afghan side …
…. According to the report, the would-be assassins were from the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO/MEK/PMOI) and had entered the country from the southwestern province of Khuzestan, bordering Iraq and the Persian Gulf. They were reported to have received training at the MKO-run Camp Ashraf in Iraq. The main intention of the operation was to attribute the assassination of Mousavi and Karroubi to the Iranian government, the report added…
(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani-Part 19)..Being a good speaker or having executive skills was prior to ideological competence to be selected as a member of leadership council in MKO/PMOI/MEK..When the members started their compliments, Maryam and Masud Rajavi waited for their words to be listened completely and the atmosphere of the hall be influenced by the compliments. Then they apparently complained that they were not glad with such a compliment.
That fighting against one’s own countrymen in a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people might undermine the MEK’s credibility within Iran is not something ..The sight of [MEK] forces aiding the Iraqi war effort turned them into perennial traitors in the eyes of most Iranians. This perception of the [MEK] still persists, more than 15 year after the ending of the war..
Masud Rajavi, runaway leader of MKO/MEK/PMOI Cult, brought his head out of his shelter to issue a new statement. This is not the first time Rajavi tries to present himself and his organization as a powerful, effective weight in Iranian political scene..Although, in his letter, Rajavi makes too much effort to claim that he doesn’t consider the IRI regime as legitimate, he views them deserved enough to offer them two suggestions
using the word “life” is considered as a big sin in the MKO. They always told us:”You chose your path the first day, so you have to stay until the regime is overthrown”. Of course they don’t have the power to overthrow the regime so the membership in the group is long-life..When Rajavi considers arm as his most cherished thing saying that “we cannot survive in our organizational form without arms”, do you think that such an organization can leave armed struggle.
(Memoirs of Ms. Batoul Soltani – Part 18 )..To choose the members of the leadership Council, the main criterion for Rajavi was how much they are devoted. There is a formula in MKO discussions:They ask:”why Maryam” and then they answer: “because Masud”.It means that Maryam is the first woman linked with Masud..They tried to confirm that such devotion needs an extraordinary super-natural capacity..Maryam Rajavi said that we should love Masud instead of our husbands..
A show of MKO’s TV channel was shown during the meeting, in which Hassan said:”when I was talking with my family on the phone, the agents of Islamic Republic cut our contact.” Regarding the show, Asgar said that as he remembers they have never had a phone contact with his brother and such words were definitely dictated by the cult’s leader. Surprised by the show he wondered to believe which claim:”Hassan didn’t want to see his father at Camp Ashraf gate” or”Hassan called the family and IRI interrupted the contact”
Looking at Iran from outside and through the lens of ‘regime change’ has led many western analysts and politicians to a false perception of the country – one based on wishful thinking rather than facts on the ground…the MKO/MEK/PMOI is profoundly unpopular among right thinking Iranians wherever they live and whatever their politics. Indeed in western countries, post-election protestors of all persuasions have angrily and vigorously expelled MKO activists from their demonstrations
The MEK or MKO is a Marxist organisation with a long history of attempts to overthrow various Iranian governments. They helped Saddam Hussein in the war against Iraq. After the US invasion they were disarmed and confined to camps in Iraq. They are on a US list of terrorist organisations even though Europe recently delisted them. .The CIA provides material support to the actions of the MEK inside Iran. The recent spate of explosions in Iran … appears to be linked to an MEK operation.In a July 29 article,wrote Ritter.
