Daniel Larison, The American Conservative, January 13 20201:... the U.S. government doesn’t understand the countries in question, it relies on bad information that is frequently offered to them by self-serving exiles and activists, and it doesn’t know how to do state-and-institution-building on such a large scale in any case. The U.S. has expended vast resources for decades on some of…

James Bovard, Counterpunch, March 09 2020:... Bush officials and subsequent administration chose to champion the Iranian terrorist group, Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK).

Costantino Ceoldo, Pravda, August 26 2019:... The MEK is not independent of Washington. The Ashraf-3 base opening was attended by many senior-level U.S. officials. National Security Advisor John Bolton told the MEK at its 2017 conference in Albania, "Before 2019, we here will celebrate in Tehran". He was wrong. But John Bolton still intends to overthrow Iran.

Thierry Meyssan, Mint Press News, January 31 2019:... John Bolton’s links with the MEK date back to the Bush administration.

Tony Cartalucci, New Eastern Outlook, July 16 2018:... Brookings would elaborate regarding its terrorist background, stating (emphasis added): Undeniably, the group has conducted terrorist attacks—often excused by the MeK’s advocates because they are directed against the Iranian government.

Nejat Society, June 19 2017:... The so-called “peaceful transition” will not be fulfilled by using the MKO either.

Sharmine Narwani, Russia Today, May 16 2017:... The US has traceable ties to some of these groups, notably Jundallah which received Bush-era funds from Washington before being listed as a terrorist organization. That “terrorist” designation, Iran knows, means little. The Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was listed by the State Department for decades, but then de-listed in 2012 and is today being actively…

Gazeta Impakt, Tirana Albania, April 16 2017:... information blackout on his meeting with the Mojahedin, throws a great deal of doubt on the US Senator’s visit to Albania. Another question is why Maryam Rajavi remains in our country at the same time that Congress met in Tirana. Why are the Mojahahedin’s activities met with a huge media silence? Has Maryam…

Mazda Parsi, Nejat Society, April 13 2017:... Following last week’s chemical attack in Syria and President Donald Trump’s retaliating missile strike, the Mujahedin Khalq Organization ( the MKO) could not conceal its pleasure to see the United States’ involvement in the Syrian battle.
