The company has declared that 60 percent of the proceeds of the transaction will be given to MKO terrorists. The MKO, which is responsible for the deaths of 17,000 Iranians …
An Iranian lawmaker has criticized the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s recent call on countries to grant asylum to the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO). “The MKO terrorist cell is under the guardianship and leadership of the US, and the UN chief has asked UN member states to give asylum to the MKO based on…
Members of the MKO aka MEK/PMOI, who had murdered over 17,000 Iranians since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, fled to the neighboring Iraq in 1980s, where they received military training from the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and set up Camp Ashraf in the eastern province of Diyala near the Iranian border.
I think [the delisting of the MKO] was a terrible move in all respects, … terrible move in the way the Iranians perceived it, and a terrible move because it basically acknowledged a terrorist group is now not a terrorist group anymore, and they clearly certainly still are.”Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to former US Secretary of State Colin Powell

The issue is as we saw a recall in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Libya and now in Syria, yesterday’s terrorists can be today’s freedom fighters even if they are going to be tomorrow’s terrorists. This is a thinly, thinly disguised effort to ratchet up the pressure on Iran. I think that’s clear.
..But make no mistake, this organization [MKO/MEK/PMOI], all the evidence, all the circumstances, the verdict rendered in the court system whether in the United States or around the world, they know exactly these entities, the blood on their hands. It is a shame on the United States.
