Iran Interlink, March 07 2022:... As the world wakes up to the realisation that more than a quarter of the world’s wheat exports come from Russia and Ukraine, the MEK ( Mujahedin e Khalq ) are in familiar territory.

Tehran Times, February 14 2022:...

Kourosh Ziabari, Asia Times, November 24 2021:... Aside from its perfidious alliance with Saddam Hussein during the internecine Iran-Iraq War in 1980s, when it opened fire on its fellow citizens in multiple operations, MEK has worked in cahoots with some of the most reactionary politicians in the United States and far-right parties in Europe, and accepted funding from Saudi Arabia, to…

At the direct request of the Iraqi army, Massoud Rajavi sent troops to the Kurdish areas to save Saddam's regime, under the pretext of the Islamic Republic of Iran's forces attacking the MEK bases, and suppressed the Iraqi Kurds until the Iraqi Ba'athist forces which all gone south, return to northern Iraq.

Habilian Association, September 03 2021:... Do not assume that they are doing such actions because they are powerful. They exploded a bomb somewhere; a 12-year-old child can also take a bomb, plant it somewhere and blow himself up. This is the utmost weakness.
