Reid Champlin, Open Secrets, July 11 2019:...The council was founded in the early 1980s as the political front of the MEK, which itself was started by self-described Marxist Iranian students in 1965. Initially fighting with other opposition groups to take down the Shah in the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the group soon came into conflict with the new Ayatollah Khomeini’s government,… 2019/07/11

Soraya Sepehrpour Ultich, American Herald Tribune, June 30 2019:... What is even more mind-boggling is the fact that Israel was supporting a terrorist cult that had massacred the Kurds in Iraq in 1991, and only a few year later, the Israelis were training the Kurds in Iraq who has survived the massacre (obviously something that has been lost on the… 2019/06/30

Robert Aziz, Concord Monitor, May 26 2019:... For over a decade Bolton has been a well-paid supporter of the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MeK), a cultish Iranian terrorist organization that had first opposed the shah. MeK is responsible for the killing of six Americans in Iran, and it enthusiastically supported the seizure of the American embassy in Tehran before changing alliances and… 2019/05/26

Alexander Azadgan, Sputnik International, May 11 2019:... Let’s be frank here, France holds one of the worst terrorist groups in modern times. They are called MKO or MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization). They are based in Paris; they are an anti-Iran terrorist group who have been known to kill American citizens in the 1960s and 1970s in Iran. France has hosted them and to me, it is appalling that Iran… 2019/05/11

Scott Peterson, The Christian Science Monitor, May 02 2019:... The MEK was removed from the U.S. terrorism list in 2012, in no small part due to a campaign by dozens of former senior U.S. officials, who received tens of thousands of dollars in speaker’s fees that experts say were secretly bankrolled by Saudi Arabia and Israel. Pro-MEK speakers included Mr. Giuliani and John… 2019/05/02

Iran Front Page, April 15 2019:... Zarif pointed to the presence of the MKO terrorist group on French soil, and described it as a problem between Tehran and Paris. The Iranian foreign minister also announced the Islamic Republic’s readiness to hold talks and have cooperation with the French officials to solve the problems of the region. Pointing to the dangerous developments… 2019/04/15

Iran Interlink, February 09 2019:... Maryam Rajavi headed a ‘protest’ in Paris yesterday using paid participants to promote her regime change agenda against Iran. Rajavi is afraid of being overlooked by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group run from inside the State Department. Pompeo will hold a summit in Warsaw next week where it is predicted Iranian opposition… 2019/02/09

A spokesman for the Dutch prosecution service told the BBC: "We have two men in custody who are suspected of being involved in the death. The investigation has not led to any signs of involvement of Iranian authorities." The 56-year-old is suspected of being Mohammad Reza Kolahi Samadi, who was accused of planting a bomb that resulted in the deadliest attack… 2019/01/31

Ebrahim Khodabandeh, January 29 2019:... The MEK has asked all supporters to be active and leave comments on “hash tag forty years” demanding the US imposes even more severe sections on the Iranian people, follow the “regime change” policy more seriously, recognizes Maraym Rajavi as the President of Iran and invites the NCRI as the representative of Iran to the Warsaw… 2019/01/29

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… 2019/01/28

Iran Front Page, January 17 2019:... The MKO (Mojahedin Khalq, MEK, NCRI, Rajavi cult) is designated a terrorist organisation by Iran and Iraq and it was considered as such by the US and EU until 2012 and 2009 respectively. The notorious group is responsible for terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians over the past three decades which are estimated to have left over… 2019/01/17
