Amir Abdullahian, the head of Iranian delegation in trilateral talks in Iraq, said in a press conference in Baghdad:”During the meeting of Iranian ambassador to Iraq and his American counterpart, the issue of MKO’s fate in Iraq was not mentioned but its involvement in sabotage operations in Iraq was discussed.”
The President noted that certain powers who advocate double standards, occupation, the use of pressure and rights violation to further their own interests are the main root of terrorism, IRNA reported. Ahmadinejad further indicated that the Zionist regime, while enjoying the support of imperialist powers, is now committing the worst act of terrorism in Palestine by killing women and children.
Baqeri said, during the recent negotiations, Iran had asked the Americans why they would not allow the Iraqi police to use up-to-date weapons, why they could not establish security in Iraq with over 150 thousand soldiers, and also why they ignored the fact that certain groups are becoming armed in Iraq.

This is the source of so many problems.

Hosseini recalled the crimes perpetrated by the MKO including the murder of many Iranian high-ranking officials and civilians. He lambasted the EU for failing to enter the so-called ‘National Resistance Council of Iran in its list of terrorist organizations and called on the EU to avoid a selective approach.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said here Sunday Tehran and Caracas would sign 20 agreements and memoranda of understanding in various fields during the current visit by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Iran…
In the most widely reported covert operations under way in Iran, the US is smuggling weapons and money to disaffected non-Persian ethnic minority factions. But at the recent Iran-US talks in Baghdad, Iranian delegates focused on less publicized sabotage and espionage missions in the Persian heartland of Iran by a US-backed militia of Persian exiles known as the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK).
Among Iraqi newspapers, Al-Sabah newspaper, which is close to the government and is considered to be the most influential newspaper in Iraq, has discussed the issue with a big headline on the first page reading: ‘Three sides, a case and ambiguous talks’.
