Iran Interlink, January 24 2020:... The Americans use MEK there to provoke Iran, but Iran doesn’t react. In Farsi this is a well-known scenario. Everyone knows what is happening. For the MEK it is a dream come true. This is what they have asked from the CIA before – to be able to silence ex members. Some writers have exposed…

Nejat Society, Tehran, January 14 2020:... After the fuel demonstrations in Iran were quashed, Iran’s right wing claimed the MEK was behind the violent unrest. The MEK also claimed they were behind it. Genuine opposition groups and demonstrators said they need to have the right atmosphere and conditions so that people can demand their rights without the interference of MEK,…

Iran Interlink, January 10 2020:... After the illegal assassination of general Qassem Soleimani, videos and audios in support of president Trump flooded Farsi social media. These all turned out to be fake. The only ones that were true were MEK outlets, which genuinely support Trump. Very quickly an audio emerged from Massoud Rajavi – presumed dead – as the only…

Nejat Society, December 22 2019:... The most iconic and prominent father and son in the MEK are Massoud Rajavi and his son Mohammad. Mohammad was an infant in the safe house where his mother Ashraf was killed in an armed clash between the MEK agents and the Iranian forces in Tehran. He was then taken to Iraq and then to…

Iran Interlink, December 20 2019:... Iran International TV ran an interview with Massoud Khodabandeh about the rumour that France would be deporting Maryam Rajavi to Albania.

Iran Interlink, December 06 2019:... The point that Massoud Rajavi’s rant has only been issued in Farsi (and from Massoud Rajavi who is presumed dead and not the current leader Maryam Rajavi) shows this has been done only to shut up the dissent inside the camap rather than being about biting the hands feeding them. Ebrahim Khodabandeh of Nejat Society…

Iran Interlink, November 23 2019:... The main issue in Farsi was the BBC report from Albania which was translated into Farsi as well as French and Albanian. The MEK went into overdrive, swearing and threatening. They used their maximum resources in Farsi and English to try to bend reality to their version of events in order to discredit the BBC.…

Iran Interlink, October 19 2019:... Another example of this mercenary approach is that MEK appear to believe some executions are good executions while some executios are bad. nOne article in particular lists all the executions committed by the MEK themselves; from killing Americans in Iran, the executions of Kurds in Iraq, right up to recent executions in Albania like Malik Sharai.…

Iran Interlink, October 11 2019:... MEK supporters are falling like flies. John Bolton resigned/was pushed. Giuliani is fighting his corner over the Ukraine scandal. Netanyahu’s boast that Iran would be reduced to rubble has not materialised. And President Trump is pushing for peace, not war. For Farsi commentators this is yet another sign of the end of MEK. They lost…

Ryan McCarthy, The Gray Zone, October 05 2019:... The MEK emerged in 1960s Iran, promoting a strange mixture of Marxism and Shia Islam, and supported the 1979 Revolution until the Mullahs turned against it. MeK leadership then fled to Europe, from which they launched a series of terrorist bombings. They simultaneously maintained a presence in Iraq, where they enjoyed Saddam…
