..the Islamic Republic has succeeded in overcoming the so-called strong Israeli intelligence service Mossad supported by the US and Western states..Israeli and NATO officials had meetings with members of terrorist cells, including Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK), Jundallah and the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), to achieve their own objectives.
the White House had in a message called on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to allow the elements of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) access to the Qandil Mountains ..In 2008 the Bush administration meted out some $400 million for covert operations against Iran, a significant portion of it was diverted to the MKO..Kurdish Regional Government should press charges on moral grounds against MKO for joining Saddam’s army ..
… What about the issue of the Iranian opposition Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization [MKO]? Zebari: the Iraqi Constitution includes a clear and explicit paragraph according to which no foreign armed group is allowed to operate on Iraqi territories, or to launch attacks on neighbouring countries. Therefore the MKO attacks were taking place during the era of the previous regime. We have stressed that this is no longer allowed. ..
..Well, regarding Mr. Rajavi, it is a 180 degree change. MKO started its activities by assassination of Americans in Iran. Now the organization is doing something that’s never been recorded in our history. They pay western politicians to travel and to participate in their gatherings to gain their support…Those who were in Bush administration are not simple. They are a bunch of warmongers who moved ahead the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ..
According to the CFR’s profile of Mujahideen-e-Khalq, the group has been engaged in terrorist activities for the better part of forty years dating back to before the Islamic revolution:The group has targeted Iranian government officials and government facilities in Iran and abroad, and during the 1970s, it attacked Americans in Iran. While the group says it does not intentionally target civilians, it has often risked civilian casualties. It routinely aims its attacks at government buildings in crowded cities..
..That’s kind of a lie. Because the Supreme Court—again, to be specific, Chief Justice Roberts—has ruled that the law criminalizes”advocacy performed in coordination with, or at the direction of, a foreign terrorist organization.”And while Giuliani et. al. may convincingly argue that they did nothing at the direction of MEK, it’s hard to argue that his advocacy wasn’t coordinated with the group, seeing as how he was quoted as saying this at the rally:”For your organization to be described ..
What are Rudy Giuliani and several major Bush administration officials doing in Paris this week? Addressing a militant Iranian exile group that the U.S. government has designated a terrorist organization, of course…The four are not lone wolves in their support for MEK/MKO/PMOI. Last Friday, at a symposium organized by a group called ExecutiveAction ..
MEK has attacked US military and diplomatic personnel, and has been described by former members as a cult: ideologically, the MEK started out as a far leftist group, but like the neocons who have taken up its cause, has traveled to the other end of the political spectrum, offering itself up to the US … MEK’s American supporters want to use it as a battering ram against the Iranian regime, what support they had inside Iran evaporated when they fled to Iraq and took up with Saddam Hussein, whose government succored and armed them. MEK fought in the Iran-Iraq war – on the Iraqi side.
However, there are limits to the logic of”the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. The decision by the US and UK to permit arms sales to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq propped up a regime even worse than the one it was fighting against (Iran), and enabled Saddam to subsequently invade Kuwait…. there is a strong credibility gap between the group’s rhetoric and its past actions, especially its associations with Saddam between 1986 and 2003.According to the Council on Foreign Relations, MEK directly participated in the savage reprisals against ..
