Paul Iddon, The New Arab, May 09 2019:... The Trump administration, despite what John Bolton's dalliances with the cultist Iranian MEK opposition group might have suggested, has clarified that it is not actually pursuing regime change in Iran.

Borzou Dargahi, THE INDEPENDENT, Originally published September 28 2018:... An Iranian exile group that is a darling of Washington conservatives has set up what critics describe as “a state within a state” inside the tiny Balkan nation of Albania.

As Michael Rubin’s review of that group’s record makes clear, the MEK richly deserved its place on… 2019/04/16

Daniel Larison, The American Conservative, April 13 2019:...

Iran Interlink, April 12 2019:... Joke of the week is that Maryam Rajavi took credit for Trump’s designating Sepah as a terrorist entity, claiming (without irony) that she had been demanding this “for years”.
