Robert Fanina, Global research, February 26 2020:... The United States continues to support the Mujahedeen-e Khalk (MEK), despite the fact that that terrorist organization is losing popularity, not that it ever had very much anyway, around the world.

Tom Porter, Business Insider, January 10 2020:...

Larry Kummer, Fabius Maximus website, January 05 2020:... Go back to the beginning. In 1953 the CIA’s Operation Ajax helped overthrow Iran’s elected government (Wikipedia) and installed a tyrant. The US government long denied it, admitting it in 2017. Of course, the people of Iran already knew; only Americans were still ignorant. That tyrant remained in power with our support and…

Matt Novak, Gizmondon UK, January 04 2020:... What is even more mysterious is the person or people behind Alavi’s Twitter account. The Intercept reported in June that Alavi, who has been used as a source by the White House, does not appear to be a real person.

Suddaf Chaudry, Middle East Eye, December 12 2019:... Gjergj Erebara, a journalist with the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, said the press conference - which he attended - was unusual, to say the least. “Albanian police gave no proof to substantiate its claims. They said they have discovered the “terrorist cell”, but they didn't make any arrests,” Erebara said. Hassan Heyrani,…

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…

Dankof: All of the published reports over time indicate that the Saudi-backed terror groups are involved in (Sistan and) Balouchestan Province terrorist operations coming across the Pakistani-Iranian border.
