A vice-speaker of the Iranian parliament reminded the crimes committed by the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) against the innocent Iranian civilians during the last three decades, and stressed that the terrorist group should be brought to justice as soon as possible.
Considering that fighting terrorism was the excuse for the US invasion of Iraq, it was expected that terrorist elements, including MKO aka MEK/PMOI forces, would be confronted. But not only was there no confrontation, but they were also supported, and even now that the Iraqi government is determined to expel the MKO from the country, the US and Western countries are trying to hinder the move,” Hejazi added.

The MKO assassinated Iranian President Mohammad Ali Rajaee and Prime Minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar in 1981. ..
