Aljazeera News, June 17 2019:... As the Trump administration continues with its hawkish talk on Iran, we need to look at how that story is being crafted and by whom: Heshmat Alavi was once cited by the White House as a credible commentator on Iran. Shame he doesn't exist. It turns out he is a fictional persona reportedly created by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK),…

The Young Turks, June 13 2019:... “Heshmat Alavi” is a front propaganda efforts of the People’s Jihadis (Mojahedin-e Khalq or MEK). The MEK has committed numerous acts of terrorism in Iran and then collaborated with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. It was listed as a terrorist organization the the US until a few years ago and it is mysterious why it…

Jason Rezaian, Washinton Post, June 11 2019:... After the report, Twitter appears to have suspended the account. But the MEK, the organization that “Team Heshmat Alavi” represents, has a nasty history. It was on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations for years before being removed in 2012. These days, it has no discernible popular support in Iran and…

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. His pieces in the Daily Caller, The Hill, and other outlets — though less numerous than his contributions to Forbes — employed a similar mix of advocacy against the Iranian regime and praise for the MEK. Though…

Tony Cartalucci, Global Research, June 09 2019:... MEK is described by Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Ray Takeyh as a “cult-like organization” with “totalitarian tendencies.” While Takeyh fails to expand on what he meant by “cult-like” and “totalitarian,” an interview with US State Department-run Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty reported that a MEK Camp Ashraf escapee claimed the terrorist organization bans marriage, using radios, the Internet, and holds many members…

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…

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. Two years after the revolution, the Islamists in Khomeini’s coalition turned on the…

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…

Iran Interlink, June 01 2019:... Several posts ridicule the Americans over the grandstanding against Iran. In particular the national security advisor to President Trump is now nicknamed ‘Mojahed Brother John Bolton. After Trump appeared to contradict Bolton, other posts added that Trump has become ‘borideh’ (a quitter) - he has abandoned Maryam Rajavi and become an agent of the Iranian…

Steigan.no, May 30 2019:... John Bolton has long focused on just MEK as his preferred tool for triggering a regime change in Iran. Khodabandeh writes in Iranian.com that such a false-flag attack is in preparation. He points out that MEK has a headquarters in Albania and that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln visited Albania on 1 May 2019 on…

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…

Iran Interlink, May 24 2019:... There has only really been one subject this week involving the MEK and that is John Bolton and his attempts to provoke a war with Iran. The MEK have been on overdrive to support any position that promotes war against Iran. Inevitably Farsi media and commentary are awash with opposition to the MEK. Some titles…
