Anne and Massoud Khodabandeh, Balkans Post, March 29 2020:... But, as destructive as the MEK presence has been in Albania, the group has inevitably played a greater role in the West’s confrontation against Iran. In June 2019, Murtaza Hussain of The Intercept revealed that an internet troll farm was operating from the MEK’s closed camp in Manez. The enslaved members, sitting behind…

Negar Mortazavi and Borzou Daragahi , Independent, June 11 2019:...The “Heshmat Alavi” persona had a strong presence on Twitter and harassed Iranian journalists, academics, and activists who are critical of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq organisation, a one-time armed guerilla group now holed up in Albania. There is no known link between the Iran Disinfo programme and the fake persona. At least one…

Mazda Parsi, Nejat Society, May 23 2019:... “Bolton’s unrelenting drive to attack Iran and his unstinting support for the MEK can only lead to one conclusion: MEK operatives, brought from Albania, will be deployed to carry out false flag ops that can be blamed on Iran – such as a suicide attack,” Khodabandeh states. MEK Terrorists (Rajavi cult) In The…

Sohail Jannessar, Darren Loucaides, Foreign Policy, April 28 2019:... “You look at it and say, ‘Oh, Mojahedin are funding [Vox].’ No, they are not. The ones that are funding that party are funding Mojahedin as well.” Khodabandeh said he himself was involved in moving money for the MEK and its funders during the reign of Saddam Hussein. “I went to Riyadh…

Mazda Parsi, Nejat Society, April 17 2019:... Maryam Rajavi hesitates to thank President Trump directly the same way that Netanyahu did. Instead, she repeats her usual propaganda against the IRGC, although she has warm relations with US warmongers. American Iran hawks such as John Bolton, Tom Ridge and Rudy Giuliani frequently show up in the MKO gatherings where they are warmly…

Paul Pillar, Lobe Log, April 16 2019:... It also ignores what probably was Iran’s hope in holding the al-Qaeda members, which was to exchange them for members of the terrorist group/cult known as the Mojahedin e-Khalq (MEK), then under U.S. control in a camp in Iraq. As Michael Rubin’s review of that group’s record makes clear, the MEK richly deserved its place on…

Iran Interlink, April 06 2019:... Sara Zahiri of the Farsi NITV News site (Canadian/American-Iranians) quotes some of this commentary, including Massoud Khodabandeh, which is saying that Maryam Rajavi is effectively asking people to take up arms and fight their rescuers. This, say some, is probably the biggest gaffe she has given in recent years as she is asking flood victims…

Ali Alavi, Iran Interlink, April 03 2019:... After Khodabandeh pointed out MEK’s “lack of wit” Rajavi’s propaganda machine has woken up and started churning out breath-taking lies. Just what a nation in crisis needs. After first stupidly instructing flood victims to “resist” their rescuers (the Sepah or Pasdaran who by the way helped defeat Rajavi’s heroes Daesh on the ground, rescuing…

Iran Interlink, February 22 2019:... MEK responded strongly against the revealing Der Spiegel article by Luisa Hommerich. The NCRI issued a statement similar to those attacking pieces in Aljazeera, The Guardian, Independent, Channel 4, NBC and etc. Habilian compared these statements and concluded that this latest one is different in tone and wording. This statement carries a threat against the writer,…
