Caitlin Johnstone, Consortum News, June 16 2019:... This would be the same John Bolton who has been paid exorbitant speaking fees by the pro-regime change MEK terror cult, promising the cult in a 2017 speech that they’d be celebrating regime change in Tehran together before 2019.

Helen Buyniski, Russia Today, June 14 2019:... Heshmat Alavi, a virulently anti-Iranian columnist promoted by the Trump administration and published in Forbes, the Hill, and several other outlets, was unmasked as a propaganda construct operated by the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), a controversial Iranian exile group often called a cult that has only recently lobbied its way off the US' terror…

Negar Mortazavi and Borzou Daragahi , Independent, June 11 2019:...The “Heshmat Alavi” persona had a strong presence on Twitter and harassed Iranian journalists, academics, and activists who are critical of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq organisation, a one-time armed guerilla group now holed up in Albania.

Murtaza Hussain, The Intercept, June 10 2019:... Alavi’s articles also mixed criticisms of Iran and U.S. policy with overt advocacy for the MEK.

Though…

Reza Jabali Sadeghi, Brussels, June 08 2019:... Dear Minister Koen Geens, The MEK’s 40-year record of behaviour does not substantiate its capability or intention to be democratic. Internally, the MEK run their organization autocratically, suppressing dissent and eschewing tolerance of differing viewpoints and they have no respect for the rule of law. Rajavi, who heads the MEK’s political and military…

Ali Breland, Mother Jones, June 06 2019:... Many of the accounts also frequently voice their support for the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), a militant opposition group that some have called a terrorist organization, and its leader Maryam Rajavi. The accounts also frequently criticize the National Iranian American Council (NIAC)—a non-profit representing Iranians in the U.S.—claiming it advocates in support…

Press TV, June 06 2019:... The #B_Team's boy who cries wolf is crying once again: this time Mossad is fabricating intelligence about Iran's involvement in sabotage in Fujairah. I've warned of “accidents” and false flags—we know what happens when you believe their lies. We've been here before, haven't we? Mossad MEK and Fujairah False Flag . Zarif: Mossad fabricating intel…

John Limbert, The American Prospect. June 06 2019:...Mujahedin-e-Khalq organization, or MEK. whose logo features a red star, a Quranic verse, and a rifle, began in the 1960s as so-called “Islamic-Marxists.” With a militant, anti-American reinterpretation of Shia Islam, they fought alongside Ayatollah Khomeini against the Iranian monarchy.

Juan Cole, Common Dreams, June 04 2019:... Iran has not had a weapons program since 2002, and that program was rudimentary. The cult-like People’s Jihadis (Mojahedin-e Khalq or MEK) outed the program in that year, and the Iranian government mothballed it. The People’s Jihadis are a small fanatical Iranian dissident group once hosted by Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, which has…
