The Israeli point man on Iran affairs, Uri Lubrani, has been forced into early retirement amid incessant power struggles between Mossad and the Israeli Defense Ministry.
Senior defense officials told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday that Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak decided to shut down Lubrani’s office after coming under excruciating pressure from the notorious Mossad spy agency.
According to the senior officials, who were speaking on condition of anonymity, Mossad spymasters had grown weary of Lubrani’s interference in intelligence affairs and had demanded his dismissal.
The dismissal, which is likely to end the operations of Israeli Radio’s Farsi service, has been met with an angry response in Tel Aviv.
“At a time when Israel is working to stop Iran’s nuclear program it is unfortunate that Lubrani is being forced out,”said an Israeli political heavyweight on condition of anonymity.
“He is one of the country’s foremost experts on Iran and is one of the only people who warned about what was happening in Iran before the nuclear program picked up steam,”he added.
With a career that spans half a century, Lubrani headed the Israeli Mission to Iran before the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979.
One of the Israeli Defense Ministry’s most senior advisors, Lubrani spearheaded a torrent of conspiracies in Iran. He has vocally and actively pursued a regime change in Iran, calling for investment in Iranian terrorist groups such as the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO).
MKO is a Marxist-Islamist guerilla army which was founded in Iran in the 1960s. They were exiled some twenty years later for performing numerous acts of terrorism in the country.
Lubrani’s lay-off comes as Israeli spymasters and Defense Ministry officials are currently mired in a political tug-of-war for power.
For those MKO members who are captured by MKO in Camp Ashraf Iraq or Camp Maryam France, surfing the Internet includes a difficult process due to the severe information control dominating the cult. The members would work on the Internet only in groups of at least two people including a superior and a minor member. The limited number of websites filtered for them, are just those of the organization that advocate the cults’ cause.
A free access to the Internet can be the first step for a person who is involved in a cult such as MKO destructive cult. The leaders of Rajavi’s cult hate the net because it allows their members access to Information they deem subversive or evil.
Many ex-members of MKO are now running their own websites posting their sometimes untold stories of their involvement in the cult of Rajavi.
”Be especially eager to surf the net if your leaders have told you not to “according to Cult Watch website. A quick search on common search engines by the keywords related to MKO (MEK, Rajavi’s Cult, Mujahedin Khalq, etc.)provides you thousands of pages and most of them contain the same patterns which are familiar to all those characteristics mentioned in previous parts of these articles.
According to Cult Watch “Old publications by the group are key tools to recognize a cult: often older cults have predicted the end of the world or changed their beliefs significantly, hence their old publications become a danger to them.” A look at Mujahed Journals issued in the 1980’s or 1990’s or before the Islamic Revolution shows numerous instances of changes in MKO beliefs which often contradict one another. The very significant example is the change in their approach toward Israel and America’s so-called Imperialism. During the early years of NKO foundation, militants of the group assassinated American military personnel and civilians or they received military trainings by PLO in Palestinian military camps of Yaser Arafat. Now the big change: they are flattering their Western godfathers to receive a safe haven after the fall of their ex-landlord Saddam Hussein. Among former members of MKO Cult, some have written books, articles, memoirs on the rise and fall of these changes.

families of those MKO members who have been kept (mostly unwillingly) in the terrorist cult’s camp some 60 km north of the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad gather in front of British Embassy Tehran to declare their protest over the removal of the MKO terrorist organization from the Britain’s terror list.
They urged British premier to "make sure" that the terrorist group "would not use our children in terrorist activities again." "What has happened under Saddam Hussein’s regime must not be repeated again. We require assurances from the British government that our children would not enter terrorist activities one more time." The protesting families stressed that they would find the British government responsible, once their children entered any more terrorist operations.
They also called on Brown to "safeguard meetings between us and our relatives in the Ashraf Camp".
Families of members of the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) gathered in front of the British Embassy in Tehran to protest London’s decision to removed the MKO/MEK terrorist organization from the Britain’s terror list. 
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Monday lambasted the recent move by European and British lawmakers to remove the anti-Iran terrorist group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), from the US black list. 
"Utilizing the MKO, which is a used card, would be useless for the westerners," Hassan Qashqavi told reporters in a weekly press conference here in Tehran on Monday.
Asked to comment on the recent request by some European and British Lawmakers from US President Barack Obama to strike the name of the MKO off the US terror list, Qashqavi strongly criticized EU ignorance and compromise with terrorists and extremists, MKO in particular.
"Any compromise with terrorists, including the MKO, would produce negative outcomes for all those who support these terrorists," Qashqavi noted.
After removing an anti-Iranian terror group from their blacklist, more than 100 members of the European Parliament have tried to persuade the US president to lift an American ban on the Mojahedin Khalq Organization.
Meantime, More than 180 members of the British Parliament issued a letter to President Obama, urging him to change the terrorist status of the MKO.
The anti-Iran terror group, blacklisted as a terrorist organization by many international entities and countries, was put on the US terror list in 1997 by the then President, Bill Clinton.
The MKO, whose main stronghold is in Iraq, is blacklisted by much of the international community, including the United States.
Before an overture by the EU, the MKO was on the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations subject to an EU-wide assets freeze. Yet, the MKO puppet leader, Maryam Rajavi, who has residency in France, regularly visited Brussels and despite the ban enjoyed full freedom in Europe.
The MKO is behind a slew of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, a number of EU parliamentarians said in a recent letter in which they slammed a British court decision to remove the MKO from the British terror list. The EU officials also added that the group has no public support within Iran because of their role in helping Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988).
Many of the MKO members abandoned the terrorist organization while most of those still remaining in the camp are said to be willing to quit but are under pressure and torture not to do so.
A May 2005 Human Rights Watch report accused the MKO of running prison camps in Iraq and committing human rights violations.
According to the Human Rights Watch report, the outlawed group puts defectors under torture and jail terms.
The group, founded in the 1960s, blended elements of Islamism and Stalinism and participated in the overthrow of the US-backed Shah of Iran in 1979. Ahead of the revolution, the MKO conducted attacks and assassinations against both Iranian and Western targets.
Leaders of the group have been fighting to shed its terrorist tag after a series of bloody anti-Western attacks in the 1970s, and nearly 30 years of violent struggle against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In recent months, high-ranking MKO members have been lobbying governments around the world in the hope of acknowledgement as a legitimate opposition group.
The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.
The group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it was protected by Saddam Hussein and where it helped the Iraqi dictator suppress Shiite and Kurd uprisings in the country.
The terrorist group joined Saddam’s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam and killed thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed Iraqi imposed war on Iran.
Since the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the group, which now adheres to a pro-free-market philosophy, has been strongly backed by neo-conservatives in the United States, who also argue for the MKO to be taken off the US terror list.
The MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s. The Iraqi government and parliament has announced that it would not tolerate the group anymore and is seeking to expel the group from the country in the near future.
American obstacles on the way of investigating MKO crimes
"We have collected many documents about the crimes Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization has so far committed in Iraq; but Americans refrain from letting us find access to a part of documents over MKO crimes inside the country" announced chief investigative judge of the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Court in a meeting with Secretary General of Habilian Association.
According to the database of Habilian Association (families of terror victims) in a meeting with Secretary General of Habilian Association, Adnan al-Bedeyri also said: We have managed to meet many remnant families of MKO suppression of Kurds in northern Iraq and have collected remarkable documents in this regard.
He also added: Despite all the attempts made by the MKO in order to deviate the case, we strive to get the result and try to tie up any loose ends with this file. We also ask you, as the representatives of terror victims, to provide Iraq’s supreme criminal court with any documents you have about MKO crimes.
Underlining that they never follow political goals in this case, the Iraqi official also said: We have put our backs into fulfilling the Iraqi people’s demand for incrimination of the assassins of Iraqi people and we are all in our power to arrive at this result.
Then Secretary General of Habilian Association said in his part: we have discussed the issue of MKO with many Iraqi authorities and are totally aware of the intensity of their hatred against this terrorist cult.
Referring to the fact that America has always made obstacles on the way of fulfillment of the will of Iraqi officials and people about MKO after the occupation of Iraq, Hashemi Nejad also said: MKO tries to portray itself as a political opposition group which has renounced terrorism; but their actual intention is to create an atmosphere of tension and hostility between the government and the people of Iraq. Then Hashemi Nejad pointed out MKO deception in international community and said: MKO struggles to cheat and mislead world’s public opinion and make the international community believe that they are being oppressed by the Iraqi government. To do this MKO is being accompanied by some European political figures.
He also said: Iraqi people are never satisfied with MKO presence inside their country and the only way for bringing to an end their terrorist activities and expelling them from Iraq is to unveil the crimes they have so far committed.
On December 18th ,2008 Shadow Minister for Sport, Mr Hugh Robertson met with the Nejat Society delegation in London to hear about their humanitarian solution for Camp Ashraf in Iraq.
Nejat representatives described conditions inside Camp Ashraf in Iraq. The camp is the military/ideological training base of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MKO) cult organisation.
Mr Robertson was sympathetic to the stories of two women in the delegation who have not seen their relatives for many years because of MKO directives for members to divorce from their spouses, children and families. Mr Robertson agreed that a humanitarian approach should be followed in resolving the problem.
On December 17th, 2008 Nejat Society delegation met in the House of Lords with Baroness Neville-Jones, Shadow Security Minister and National Security Adviser to the Leader of the Opposition.
Baroness Neville-Jones welcomed the group warmly and spoke of her admiration for their courage.
The Nejat delegation described in detail the problems faced by the captives in Camp Ashraf. They explained that the MKO members have been trapped in the camp by the Rajavis who demand total obedience. Infringements of the draconian conditions which the Rajavis have imposed upon all the members is harshly punished. As a result there is a high rate of suicide in the MKO. 
A group of family members of Camp Ashraf residents, at Nejat Society office in Ahwaz, attended a gathering held by NejatNGO on Friday May 8th,2009. They issued a statement addressing Mr. Nouri Al Maliki, Iraqi Prime Minister.
The Iraqi parliament is seriously pursuing expulsion of the anti-Iran terrorist group, the 
Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), from the country, an Iraqi lawmaker said on Sunday.
"Despite pressures exerted by certain bodies to prevent expulsion of MKO, the Iraqi parliament is following the case seriously," Iman al-Asadi, a member of the Shiite United Iraqi Alliance (UIA) – the largest bloc in the Iraqi parliament with 83 out of a total 275 seats – told FNA.
She underlined that expulsion of MKO sets a priority for the Iraqi government.
Reminding pressures on Iraqi government about the MKO’s fate, Asadi stated, "What such institutions want is unacceptable. MKO is not valuable for us. We do not recognize them."
Iraq has vowed to return MKO members to Iran or send them to a third country as it holds the anti-Iran group responsible for destabilizing Iraq through its terror attacks.
The MKO moved to Iraq in 1986 where it enjoyed the support of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein who funded the group to work against Iran in the 1980-88 war. The group launched attacks on Iran from its headquarters, the Camp Ashraf, in the northern province of Diyala.
The MKO is also responsible for numerous acts of violence against Iranian civilians and government officials as well as Iraqis during the reign of Saddam.
The group started assassination of the citizens and officials after the revolution in a bid to take control of the newly established Islamic Republic. It killed several of Iran’s new leaders in the early years after the revolution, including the then President, Mohammad Ali Rajayee, Prime Minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar and the Judiciary Chief, Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who were killed in bomb attacks by MKO members in 1981.
The MKO has been in Iraq’s Diyala province since the 1980s.
