Massoud Khodabandeh, Lobe Log, June 18 2019:... This is the tip of the iceberg. MEK interference in the internal affairs of America goes well beyond online attacks on Iran. In 2016, the Organization of Iranian American Communities in the US—a front for the MEK—announced a “General Elections Mobilization Effort,” publicly urging its members to “fulfill their civic duty through active…

Thierry Meyssan, Mint Press News, January 31 2019:... John Bolton’s links with the MEK date back to the Bush administration. They were strengthened by his presence – for a price of 40,000 dollars – during their annual meetings at Villepinte (France), in 2010 and 2017.

Stephen Gottlieb, WAMC, Morning Edition, January 30 2019:... The MEK has been the darling of the Administration as a potential successor to the mullahs because they both dislike the Iranian regime.

Robert Fantina, Counter Punch, January 28 2019:...And what of French support for MEK? This follows the hypocrisy usually demonstrated by the United States. France, one of the signatories of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), condemned the U.S. withdrawal from this international agreement, and French government officials are looking for a means to circumvent the threatened U.S. sanctions if…

Former Mossad head Meir Dagan, in an interview with CBS, revealed that Israel is helping the MKO and armed terrorist groups whose mission is to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Daniel Iriarte, El Confidencial, Madrid, January 18 2019:... According to Massoud Khodabandeh, a former member of the group who now helps those who want to leave, the MEK continues the practices of control and torture in the camp, which he describes as "political slavery".
