Hossein Jelveh, Press TV, Tehran, February 18 2021:... It is worth noting that the accusation against Mr. Assadi is that he was involved in a bomb plot against an anti-Iran group known as the MKO, or more commonly the MEK, a small cult of deranged individuals who have spent most of their lives confined to camps wishing to topple the… 2021/02/18

Iran Interlink, February 05 2020:... Not only did Fox News invite Maryam Rajavi to give advice to President Biden based on the false narrative that ‘Iran is at its weakest point’, but now CNN in Albania has also broadcast a purely MEK funded and scripted piece designed to poison diplomatic relations between the EU and Iran, Albania and Iran, the… 2021/02/06

Press TV, November 28 2020:... De Beco also added that the plaintiffs were turning the case into a political trial on behalf of the MKO. The MKO has conducted many assassinations and bombings against Iranian officials and civilians since the 1979 victory of Iran’s Islamic Revolution. It notoriously sided with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during his 1980-88 war on… 2020/11/28

Yuram Abdullah, Dissident Voice, February 09 2020:... Another internal threat, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MeK), was openly unhappy over the constitution, which, according to them, did not address their demands. In June 1981, the MeK declared an armed struggle against the standing government. On June 28, 1981 and again on August 30, the MeK carried out terror bombing attacks against the… 2020/02/09

Assal Rad, Lobe Log, July 02 2019:... The MEK also utilizes promoted content on news sites. For instance, The Hill is running a 10-week mini-series on Iran sponsored by the Organization of Iranian-American Communities (OIAC), a front group for the MEK. Even more unsettling is the MEK’s creation of fake personas that publish in major U.S. outlets as a way to promote the pro-regime change… 2019/07/02

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. From a well-guarded 84-acre (340,000 square metres, or 34 hectares) property it has forged on a hillside in the Albanian countryside, the group – called… 2019/04/21

Borzou Dargahi, Independent, February 05 2019:... MEK, a bizarre but influential Iranian political cult dedicated to overthrowing the government in Tehran. The group has cultivated strong ties to the Trump administration and others in Washington, as well as to Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-nemesis. Several leading Trump administration figures including John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani spoke at the 30 June event, though neither… 2019/02/05
Iran Front Page (From Iranian Diplomacy), July 03 2017:... Perhaps here we should change the diplomatic language from a “moot point” to the “element of accusation”. Governments which have fallen victim to terrorism “enjoy the legitimate right to defend themselves against armed operations conducted by non-governmental dissident groups in a third country.” Under the current circumstances, Iran-France relations need a ...… 2017/07/03
