Assassinations Joint work of Israel and Mojahedin Khalq

Anyone in Israel, the United States, or anywhere else hoping for a salubrious regime change in Iran would be foolish to have anything to do with the MEK/MKO/PMOI. Even more important than what is foolish is what is immoral. Terrorism denies the high ground to anyone who uses it, including the use of it in disagreements with Iran. It also hastens the slide through mutually reinforcing hostility into what may be a far more destructive form of violence (i.e., a war..

Briefing on recent developments at Camp Ashraf

In short, it is time for the MEK to make the decision to start the move out of Camp Ashraf to Camp Liberty-Hurriya from where they can begin new lives outside of Iraq.

Who is MEK and why is the US funding terror?

It then seems that US support for MEK becomes all the more indefensible when one realizes it is for extraterritorial hegemony, not national security that America is sponsoring bonafide terrorists.As revealed in Seymour Hersh’s 2008 New Yorker article “Preparing the Battlefield,” not only has MEK aka MKO/PMOI been considered for their role as a possible proxy, but the US has already begun arming and financing them to wage war inside Iran

Proponents of the invasion of Iraq often referred to the oppression of Iraq’s Kurds (and, less often, Shi’a) as an example of why Saddam Hussein should be deposed by force. Now, some of the same people, and their ideological brethren, extol the virtues of an organization[MKO/MEK/PMOI] with a leader (Maryam Rajavi) who is on record as instructing her followers to “Take the Kurds under your tanks”…
