Tehran Times, April 26 2020:... U.S. President Donald Trump has shared an appreciative tweet for his anti-Iran policies by a fake account belonging to the terrorist group of Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK).

Ali Harb, Middle East Eye, April 25 2020:... The US president's post was celebrated by an MEK-linked account.

What makes it even worse, however, is that Heshmat…

Ramin Mazaheri, Press TV, January 10 2020:... If Washington assassinated Soleimani because he was a “terrorist”, then logically they should now de-list ISIL as a terrorist group. Why not just come clean, finally? The entire world acknowledges that Soleimani fought terrorism, but if he must be rebranded as a “terrorist” in the West - in Orwellian fashion - then the…
