Mujahedin Khalq Terror group

Why so much hate speech against MEK sponsor in the US Congress

Once more the republican US Congressman, Tom McClintock, has declared his support for the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and eventually has received a new wave of online hate speech. He announced on his X account that he would voice his support for H.Res. 166 in the House of Representatives, a few days ago.

This resolution is in the first stage of the legislative process. It was introduced into Congress by McClintock on February 26, 2025. According to the Congress, the resolution has been cosponsored by 224 representatives (139 Republicans, 85 Democrats), and the chance of being agreed is 21 percent.

The act of McClintock and his peers indicate that the MEK have mastered the art of lobbying in the US government. Through clandestine funding and aggressive lobbying, the MEK has managed to gain the endorsement of Western politicians, this time Congressman McClintock. They. These endorsements, however, are based on a selective narrative that conveniently ignores the MEK’s history of terrorism and authoritarianism.

The MEK and its political arm, the so-called NCRI (National Council of Resistance of Iran), are primarily used as leverage by Western powers to gain strategic concessions, rather than as legitimate contenders for Iran’s future leadership. While the group may serve tactical purposes in short-term objectives—such as intelligence gathering, sabotaging nuclear facilities, or eliminating key figures—their role is largely instrumental.

The most recent role that the MEK played was echoed by Fox News last week when it claimed that new satellite images obtained by Fox News have shown a secret Iranian nuclear weapons facility. The MEK’s figure Alireza Jafarzadeh on Fox News has been responsible to fear-monger about what he calls “the threat of the nuclear weapons program of Iran”. Whenever the US-Iran negotiations get close to a potential agreement, the MEK is the best instrument for US warmongers and Israel to play in their ground.

As a matter of fact, The MEK is a pawn in a larger geopolitical game, one where it is useful for undermining the regime but is not considered a viable alternative for a future Iran even if the H.Res. 166 resolution claims that Maryam Rajavi’s ten-point plan enjoys the support of thousands of western figures.

MEK’s History of Terrorism, Betrayal

When discussing Iran’s future, the MEK stands out—not for its promise of democracy, but for its long history of terrorism, betrayal, and oppressive practices. Despite attempts to rebrand itself as a democratic force, the MEK’s violent history, actions and alliances speak of a much darker story.

An authoritarian group

The MEK’s origins lie in its founding as an Islamo-Marxist organization, ideologically tied to communism. Early on, it sought financial and logistical support from the Soviet KGB, requesting $300 million and asylum for its members in 1970. Such alliances paint a clear picture of a group willing to partner with dictatorships such as Saddam Hussein for survival and influence, rather than championing democratic ideals.

Terror Campaigns against Americans and Western Interests

The MEK’s history is marked by brutal attacks on Americans and Western institutions. In 1972, the group attempted to assassinate Brig. Gen. Harold Price, leaving him permanently disabled. In 1973, they murdered Lt. Col. Louis Lee Hawkins in Tehran. By 1976, the MEK was implicated in the killing of three American employees of Rockwell International—William Cottrell, Donald Smith, and Robert Krongard.
Beyond assassinations, the MEK engaged in bombings throughout the 1970s, targeting multinational corporations like Pan-American Airlines and Shell Oil, as well as SAVAK intelligence facilities. These attacks were not acts of resistance but calculated acts of terror aimed at spreading fear and asserting control.

Crimes against Humanity as Saddam’s private army

The MEK’s betrayal of its homeland reached a peak during the Iran-Iraq War, where it allied with Saddam Hussein. The group not only fought alongside Iraqi forces against Iran but also participated in suppressing Kurdish, Turkmen, and Shia uprisings in Iraq. These actions directly contributed to crimes against humanity, cementing the MEK’s reputation as opportunists willing to side with despots for power.

Rajavi’s Cult of Personality

Internally, the MEK operates as a cult, enforcing rigid authoritarian control over its members. Absolute loyalty is demanded, dissent is crushed, and brainwashing techniques are used to maintain the Rajavis’ dominance. These practices expose the group’s true nature: not a political movement, but a power-hungry organization bent on domination.

Detested by Iranians

Far from being a voice for the Iranian people, the MEK is widely despised across political and social spectrums in Iran. Its betrayal during the Iran-Iraq War, violent history of killing Iranian people, and authoritarian practices have alienated it from the population. The MEK’s lack of grassroots support underscores its illegitimacy as a representative of Iran’s future.

Warning for MEK sponsors

The MEK’s history disqualifies it as a legitimate opposition group or a viable alternative for Iran’s future. From assassinations and bombings to collaboration with Saddam Hussein, the group’s actions reveal a pattern of betrayal and authoritarianism. Any endorsement of this group– even as a tool to obstruct Iran-Us talks– betrays the values of justice and human rights that.

Iran

Report on the 32nd court session of the MEK’s trial

The 32nd court session examining the charges against 104 members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) as well as the organization’s nature as a legal entity, was held on April 29, in branch 11 of the Criminal Court of Tehran Province, presided over by Judge Amir Reza Dehghani.

Judge Dehghani, condoling the Shahid Rajaee Port incident, said: “What measures the power of countries is their human resources. A factor that is more important and colorful than other factors. In developing countries, the presence of human resources is a factor in the development of that country, and therefore, the assassination of human resources is considered the most important soft power source of countries, a power that cannot be replaced in any way. Today, many terrorist organizations target the most important source of power production of a country, which is human resources, in order to hold countries back from development and a constructive role in global positions. This is why the assassination of people in various forms is one of the most horrific acts among countries; and this is so unacceptable that it has caused no country, even if it is a terrorist state, to openly support terrorist groups.”

According to the judge, throughout the world, international organizations and the United Nations have adopted numerous conventions to combat terrorist acts that cause terror and fear, and countries even ostensibly declare their readiness to combat terrorism by joining the conventions.

Judge Dehghani asked the countries that host the MEK to extradite the suspects to a competent court. “According to international law and conventions, hosting terrorist suspects while a competent court is handling their charges is a crime,” he said.

The French government is hosting the first defendant) the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization as a legal entity) of the case. As judge Dehghani said, according to international conventions, hosting terrorist groups is against the conventions and creates criminal liability for the officials of this country, and these officials must be accountable to the government and people of Iran.
“Many of the court’s witnesses are former members of the main defendant (MEK), and very detailed testimonies have been presented in court regarding France’s hosting of the defendants”, the judge added.

Referring to some of the defenses raised in the previous court session, Massoud Maddah, the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the case, said: “In this case, we deal with people who fought against oppression and the Shah, and who are fighters and mujahids, and who claim that a guerrilla should not survive for more than 6 months. Why is Massoud Rajavi alive and has not fought? When Rajavi was ordering the resistance units in the country to torture and assassinate people and hijack planes, he was in France. There are documents that Massoud Rajavi cooperated with SAVAK to the fullest extent. The Iranians who fought and took action against Iran are evidence of the conspiracy and betrayal of Rajavi and this organization.”

To defend his clients he added, “What Rajavi has committed is bombing, intimidation, public disorder, guerrilla attacks, torture, genocide, and hijacking, all of which are examples of the actions of terrorist groups.”

Maddah warned that as long as this organization exists, all of this group’s crimes can be spread to all people in the world, and no one will be safe from their criminal actions.

The lawyer added, “There is no doubt that legal entities can be held responsible towards others, and there is no doubt that these groups have civil liability, and therefore, in this regard, if there is a claim against legal entities, there is the possibility of claiming against the property of legal entities.”

According to Maddah, in criminal groups, criminal responsibility is transferred from members to their leaders, but in the case of legal entities, criminal responsibility is transferred from the leaders to members. For example, whenever Massoud Rajavi feels defeated, he orders assassinations so that the name of his organization is repeated in the media.

Following the court’s announcement to register a complaint against the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), many complaints have been sent from all over the country from people who were victims of the crimes of the organization, and 205 victims of the MEK group have registered their complaints, expressing their complaints against both the organization and its leaders.

At the end of the hearing, the judge said: The next court session will be held on May 13.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

The Rajavi Cult in the US: From Pressure Tool to Political Responsibility

The Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization of Iran (commonly referred to as the “Cult of Rajavi”) has remained a controversial fixture in U.S. Iran policy for decades. While some American hawks have used the group as leverage against the Islamic Republic, a growing wave of criticism from U.S. officials, analysts, and institutions has called into question its legitimacy and the risks associated with its support. This article draws on critical American perspectives to analyze the nature of the group, its lack of credibility, and the dangers it poses to U.S. foreign policy.

A Dark History: Terrorism and Violence in the Group’s Past

Already designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, the MEK is notorious for its involvement in the killing of American citizens in Iran in the 1970s. This legacy continues to tarnish its public image. Former US Ambassador to NATO Robert Hunter cited this bloody past to support the group’s rebranding as a terrorist organization, calling it inherently unreliable.

The US Official Rejection of the MEK

In November 2022, the US State Department officially stated that it did not recognize the MEK as a legitimate representative of the Iranian people or as a democratic movement. Then-spokesman Ned Price reinforced this position, stating that “Washington does not view the group as a credible or representative force for the Iranian people.” The motivation is clear: the group’s collaboration with Saddam Hussein, its cult-like internal structure, and serious allegations of human rights abuses.

Political Support or Corruption? The Lobby Machine

One of the most controversial aspects of the MEK is its heavy spending on political lobbying in Washington. The group reportedly paid millions of dollars to high-profile figures such as Rudy Giuliani, John Bolton, and Mike Pompeo in exchange for their public support of MEK events. Critics argue that this is not legitimate political support, but evidence of systemic corruption and a blatant attempt to buy political influence.

Saddam, Betrayal, and Lack of Public Support

Perhaps the most serious stain on the MEK’s record is its direct military cooperation with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War. Viewed by many Iranians as an act of national treason, this collaboration has stripped the MEK of any remaining popular legitimacy, both within Iran and among the global Iranian diaspora. The group’s deep dependence on the Baathist regime for funding and intelligence underscores its agenda of alignment abroad and alienation from the Iranian people.

A Cult Masquerading as a Political Movement

Reports from organizations such as Human Rights Watch, along with testimonies from former members, describe a closed, cult-like structure characterized by psychological manipulation, suppression of dissent, and forced obedience. These characteristics not only prevent the group from being considered democratic, but also present it as an authoritarian entity that poses risks to political integrity and civil liberties.

Washington Divisions: Strategic Tool or Political Embarrassment?

Support for the MEK is largely limited to hard-line Republican circles, including figures such as John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and recently Mike Pence. In contrast, progressive Democrats, including Barbara Lee, have consistently opposed supporting groups such as the MEK. This partisan divide reflects the lack of consensus in Washington and underscores growing unease about the long-term implications of supporting a group with such a deeply tainted history.

Conclusion: Is Supporting the MEK a Strategic Mistake?

Supporting a group that contradicts democratic principles—and has a history of terrorism, national betrayal, and human rights abuses—provides the United States with neither strategic advantage nor moral legitimacy. For many of its supporters in Washington, the motivation appears to be rooted more in political opportunism and financial gain than in genuine concern for the Iranian people.

Indeed, the growing chorus of criticism from US institutions and thought leaders signals a sharp decline in the MEK’s influence among American decision-makers. In the long run, continued support for this group is unlikely to serve US interests and may instead tarnish Washington’s reputation as a champion of democratic values.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Concerns over MEK’s potential Influence in Congress

The Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) has renewed its efforts to position itself as a credible opposition movement to the Islamic Republic. The recent outcome of the group’s lobbying activities has been a resolution submitted by 160 congressmen. However, a comprehensive new report from the Congressional Research Service critically assesses these ongoing efforts, underscoring significant concerns regarding the MEK’s extremist ideological origins, historical involvement in terrorism, documented human rights abuses, and notably weak popular support among Iranians both domestically and within the diaspora.

These serious issues about the MEK’s background indicate that endorsing the group not only contradicts democratic values but also undermines the genuine democratic efforts of the Iranians.

The Key Point

A new report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) details the MEK’s tricky history and its current lobbying efforts in the US, including:
The organization was founded on extremist ideologies combining Marxism with radical Islamism.
It has a documented history of violence and terrorism, including assassinations of American personnel in the 1970s. Historically, the MEK actively supported Ayatollah Khomeini’s rise to power and endorsed the 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis.

The organization functions under a highly coercive, cult-like structure that enforces strict obedience to leader Massoud Rajavi through physical, psychological, and financial coercion.

The cult-like totalitarian structure enables extensive lobbying campaigns aimed at deceitfully legitimizing the group as a viable alternative to the Iranian government, despite minimal popular support among Iranians domestically and abroad.
U.S. officials who support the MEK claim their goal is to promote democracy and foster the emergence of a new, representative government in Iran. Yet aligning with the MEK directly undermines this objective. The group has cultivated a strongly negative perception among Iranians, who view the MEK as terrorists and traitors who sided with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war.

The Cult of Rajavi Lobbying in the West

The MEK operates with a strict, hierarchical, cult-like organizational structure led by Massoud and Maryam Rajavi, imposed through highly coercive measures.

Members are reportedly subjected to forced family separations, including mandatory celibacy. The organization is also particularly cruel to females, conducting hysterectomies on them and repeatedly subjecting them to be raped and sexually abused by the leader, Massoud Rajavi.

Numerous credible reports detail systematic physical and psychological abuses, including allegations of torture and coercive control mechanisms. Dozens of members have been killed due to the mechanisms.
The MEK’s lobbying campaign is aimed at legitimizing the group’s leadership and securing political support, particularly in the U.S. and Europe.

These efforts have allowed the MEK to introduce and garner support for some pieces of legislation. The group pays exorbitant speaking fees to lawmakers to speak at their headquarters in Albania and their rallies in Paris, Berlin and Washington.

For example, speaker fees include over $400,000 paid to former Vice President Mike Pence and $180,000 or more to former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

And most recently, The MEK’s lobbying efforts also led to the introduction of H.Res 166, a deceiving resolution that claims to express “support for the Iranian people’s desires for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran,” but actually endorses Maryam Rajavi and her cult-like terrorist group.

Maryam Rajavi has deliberately misled lawmakers by asserting that the MEK would lead a transitional government in Iran, ostensibly restoring power to the people within six months. However, under her plan, this so-called transitional government would oversee the formation of a Constituent Assembly. While the MEK would technically be dissolved, it would still maintain control through the assembly, ensuring its continued grip on power.

Allying with the MEK hurts the interests of both Iranians and Americans

Engaging with the MEK poses serious risks to U.S. diplomatic credibility. The ideological foundations of the MEK, and its totalitarian system is essentially incompatible with the principles of democracy, human rights, and capitalism.
Ongoing documented human rights abuses and internal authoritarian practices severely undermine their claim of representing democratic aspirations.

The U.S. Department of State has explicitly indicated in recent assessments that the MEK does not constitute a credible democratic opposition force representing the Iranian people.

The MEK relies on front organizations to solicit contributions from expatriate Iranian communities, as well as American and European citizens. This practice has gotten the MEK in trouble in the past, such as when the FBI arrested seven MEK supporters for raising over $1 million for a sham charity at LAX.

Due to their ideology, harsh treatment of their members, terrorist activities against Iranian civilians and siding with Saddam Hussein against Iran, the MEK has little to no popular support within Iran and among the Iranian diaspora.
U.S. policy on Iran should not harm the interests of either the United States or the Iranian people. In particular, Washington should respect Iran’s territorial integrity and national unity and should refrain from engaging with armed groups or formerly terrorist designated organizations. Members of Congress should clearly distance themselves from the MEK, learn about its affiliates and avoid legitimizing them or engaging with them.

Mujahedin Khalq; A proxy force

Fox News betray Iranians by promoting the MEK

Fox News, reported that bipartisan group of 151 lawmakers is rallying around a resolution to support the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). In its statement on X platform, Fox News indicated that 150 American politicians have openly betrayed the freedom-seeking people of Iran. They are imposing an ideology that has been actually acting against freedom and democracy for near 5 decades.

According to the report, the resolution, led by Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., claims support for the Iranian people and their stated desire for a “democratic, secular and non-nuclear” Iran through regime change by the MEK which is a formerly terrorist designated group by the US State Department. The group has a dark background and it is despised by the Iranian public.

Fox News’s statement was slammed by thousands of Iranians around the world using the hashtags #MEKTerrorists and #NCRTerrorists. The users tried to inform the US politicians that the MEK can not be considered as the alternative of the Iranian government based on a large number of atrocities committed by its disappeared leader, Massoud Rajavi and its public leader, Maryam Rajavi.

comment on Foxnews statement on X

Here’s a brief account of the documented violent and terrorist activities attributed to the MEK/PMOI/NCRI/MKO:

Terrorist Attacks and Murder of Americans

Founded in 1965 as an Islamist-Marxist militia, MEK was a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) from 1997-2012.

In the 1970s, it assassinated U.S. military personnel in Iran—colonels Paul R. Shaffer, John H. Turner, and Lewis Lee Hawkins—targeting them as “imperialist” symbols.
It bombed Western businesses and, in 1992, attacked Iranian diplomatic missions in 10 countries, including the U.S. In 2003, 170 MEK members including their she-guru Maryam Rajavi, were arrested in France for plotting terrorist attacks. The French Police confiscated large amounts of money and documents of money laundering. Eventually dozens of group members committed self-immolation to protest the arrest of Maryam Rajavi. Two women died.

Alliance with Saddam Hussein

Exiled from Iran in the 1980s, MEK allied with Saddam Hussein, who funded and armed it. During the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), it fought Iran from Camp Ashraf. In 1988, its Operation Forough Javidan—a failed invasion—killed thousands of Iranian civilians, deepening its infamy as a traitor group among Iranians.

Crimes Against Humanity in Iraq

In 2010, the Iraqi High Tribunal issued arrest warrants for 39 MEK members, including Maryam Rajavi, for crimes against humanity tied to their role in suppressing the 1991 uprisings of Kurds and Shiites under Saddam’s regime, further evidencing their brutality and collaboration with dictators. “Take the Kurds under the tanks! Keep your bullets for Iranian soldiers!”, a very famous quote by Maryam to her forces in the operation to suppress Kurds.

Torture and Human Rights Abuses

MEK operates as a cult, enforcing control through horrific abuses. Defectors report torture, solitary confinement, and brainwashing. Women face oppressions, while families are separated, with children trafficked to Europe. Female members were coerced into sexual relations with Masoud Rajavi, with Maryam Rajavi sanctioning it via “vows.” Refusal meant disappearance.

Oppressive Practices

MEK claims to support democracy, but enforces mandatory hijab, gender segregation, sexual control, and emotional isolation. Members lack outside media, limited to “Mujahedin television” looping Rajavi speeches. Its theocratic practices clash with Iranians aspirations for democracy.

Propaganda and Deception

MEK runs “troll farms” in Albania, with over 1,000 members using fake accounts to spread pro-Rajavi propaganda in English, Farsi, and Arabic across social media and news comments. It hides behind aliases like the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), falsely posing as a democratic option. Defectors reveal orders to praise pro-MEK figures and attack critics.

Anti-American nature

Backing the U.S. Embassy takeover and hostage crisis, the MEK chanted anti-American slogans. “May America be annihilated” and “Death to America by blood and bonfire”—show its radicalism. After clashing with the Iranian government, it turned to violence and exile, never shedding its authoritarian core.

Removal from FTO list

The U.S. delisted MEK in 2012 after heavy lobbying, but internal reports flagged its violent history and cult-like nature. This wasn’t a clean slate—its past, including killing Americans and aiding Saddam, lingers. In Albania, ex-military intelligence described “extraordinary psychological violence and threats of murder” in its camps.

Now, the Iranian people ask Fox News a crucial question: as a media outlet that claims to stand for freedom and democracy, based on which survey, which vote of the people, which historical value, and what legitimacy did you decide to recognize a cult-like terrorist group—one that itself opposes the freedom of the Iranian people—as a symbol of freedom and democracy?
In fact, there has been no survey or poll. The American sponsors of the MEK just follow the rule of money. The MEK/ NCR was a terrorist cult but it turned out to be “freedom fighter” after it paid millions of dollars as speaking fees to the high-profile figures.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Nasser Mohammadi’s family’s request to the head of Tehran Criminal Court

The Mohammadi family is among the families of victims of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), one of those families whose members were murdered by the group.

During the Iran-Iraq War, Nasser Mohammadi was captured by the Mujahedin-e Khalq forces, who were fighting alongside Saddam Hussein’s army against their homeland. He was then forced by pressure and threats to participate in the group’s cross border operation against Iran, named Forough Javidan (Eternal Light). Since Nasser did not want to take up arms against his homeland, he attempted to flee to Iranian soil near the border, but in the presence of eyewitnesses, he was shot in the back by the MEK agents and was killed.

Naser Mohammadi’ family in a protest gathering among other Nejat families

Nasser Mohammadi’s family followed up on this important issue as soon as they learned about his murder by MEK agents. Nasser’s brother Houshang Mohammadi, while in Camp Ashraf in Iraq, directly asked the MEK leaders for an explanation and requested evidence, but as usual, they distorted the truth and identified the Iranian government as the killer of his brother. This claim was not accepted by Houshang, and the issue even escalated into a verbal altercation.

Due to the existence of eyewitnesses to Nasser’s killing by the MEK, his family has been suing the MEK for the murder of their brother since those days. The Mohanmmadis are among the plaintiff families against the leaders of the MEK in the process of their trial. They are members of Nejat Society.

On Saturday, February 1st, this family met with other members of Nejat Society’s office in Zanjan Province. Pursuing the legal process against the MEK leaders and the group itself as a legal entity, through a short video message, they asked the honored head of Branch 11 of the Criminal Court of Tehran Province to consider their family’s complaint.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Trump’s Ukraine envoy slammed by Iranians on social media

Anti-MEK hashtags were once more trending on social media in the past few weeks. The viral hashtag, which is reminiscent of the MEK’s violent record and has trended in English, is #MEKTerrorists. This was the outcome of speeches made by some US former politicians on behalf of the group in their conference in Paris.

Another bad news for the MEK is that Donald Trump has blacklisted some ardent supporters of the MEK for his second administration. The list includes Mike Pence, Dick Cheney, John Bolton, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney who served in his first administration and who have so far been paid hefty amounts of money by the MEK for speaking at their events.

However, there is only one politician who is under sever scrutiny because of his visit with Maryam Rajavi and his advocacy for the so-called National Council of Resistance (NCR), who will serve at Trump’s second administration. General Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, spoke at the NCR’s conference. NCR is the MEK’s political vitrine used to attract Western politicians by its pro-democracy gestures and its main figure is Maryam Rajavi, the so-called president elect who has not been elected by anyone except by her husband, Massoud Rajavi, the disappeared leader of the Rajavi’s Cult of Personality.

Keith Kellogg was blasted by the Iranians in social media. They condemned him of being bribed to lend his credibility to the MEK and considered it as a grave mistake. The critics of Kellogg reminded him that the MEK is a terrorist cult responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people including American citizens.

Trendy hashtag against the MEK on X

The Iranian users and even western journalists warned the US general that the MEK do not represent the Iranian people in any way and will have no place in the future of a free Iran. These are a few of the most reposted posts against Keith Kellogg’s “shameful” embracing of the MEK:

*The dreaded terrorist and criminal organization, #MEKterrorists OR #NCIRterrorists has no place in Iran and is deeply hated by Iranians , You have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of our country. You have taken blood money.

*it is truly shameful that as a retired U.S. Army general, you support a terrorist group like the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), which has a history of killing and assassinating Iranians, as well as several American soldiers and colonels. This group was on the U.S. State Department’s list of terrorist organizations until just a few years ago. In case you’ve forgotten, let me remind you of the names of three American colonels who were brutally assassinated by the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) in Iran in the 1970s.
Say their names out loudly:
Paul R. Shaffer
John H. Turner
Lewis Lee Hawkins
These three American colonels were killed by MEK in the 70’s.

*Why are American politicians endorsing and taking money from a former terrorist group #MEKterrorists bloodthirsty cult that has killed American soldiers?

*That woman #MaryamRajavi killed thousands of Iranians and Americans and even her own people.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

The hashtag “MEK terrorists” is trending again

The Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and Maryam Rajavi were once again the subject of Iranian anger and hatred at the top of Iran-related hashtags. Iranian users used the hashtag “MEK terrorists” tens of thousands of times within a few hours.
Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, Massoud Rajavi, in a message of congratulating the “heroic people of Syria,” referred to the Syrian government’s opponents as “rebel vanguards” who came to power for “freedom, justice, and a democratic revolution.” The Syrian rebels, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, bear many similarities to the MEK.

Like once the MEK was, HTS is designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council and is on one of the European Union sanctions lists due to its links to Al Qaeda. The US and UK governments have also included the group on their lists of foreign terrorist organizations.

In his message of December 8, Massoud Rajavi, the leader of the MEK clearly declares that the Syrian rebels are counterparts of the MEK and their so-called resistance units in Iran, and promises the early overthrow of the Iranian government – a promise that has been repeated for nearly five decades.

These similarities have not gone unnoticed by the MEK’s warmongering American supporters in the Republican party and their media outlet Fox News. It speaks of the opportunity of the fall of Bashar al-Assad to force Iranian regime change.
The Fox News article mentions some US Republican senators who support the MEK, who we have previously seen on the list of speakers at MEK rallies. These senators consider Maryam Rajavi to be the counterpart of Mohammad al-Jolani and the National Council of Resistance of Iran to be the counterpart of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham for changing the Iranian government.

The Fox News article is the beginning of the story. A Twitter storm broke out when Fox News published the article’s title on its X social media account, along with a photo of Maryam Rajavi. The post was met with intense anger from Iranian users across the political spectrum, and eventually the hashtag #MEKTerrorists trended on X English and the hashtag “Maryam Rajavi ate shit” on X Persian. Some of the comments and replies to Fox New, on the most popular pages are noteworthy. These posts, reposts or replies are a few of the contents that contain #MEKterrorists:

Mohammad Reza Torabi, a former child soldier of the MEK:
Down with Fox News and a bunch of money-loving Republicans and anyone else who promotes the Mojahedin or Rajavi. The reality is that this old woman and her criminal husband, who occasionally issues announcements from his mouse hole and has become a homeless rooster, have long been considered dead to the Iranian people. Nothing can bring them back to life. Today is the best time to say once again #MaryamRajaviateshit.

Salome Seyednia, host of Iranian TV channel, Manoto:
Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) is a terrorist group that has no credibility or support in Iran! They are very despised and have no standing among the Iranian people! Don’t waste your time on them!

Tina Ghazimorad, editor-In-Chief at manoto TV Newsroom:
That Fox News is promoting the MEK, a terrorist sect rooted in Marxist-Islamic ideologies, is completely absurd and beyond comprehension. Not only does it discredit you, it also insults the memory of Americans who once died. Before glorifying the leader of a sect with blood on their hands, do your homework and check the historical facts. No matter how much money they spend to sell themselves as “freedom fighters,” or how skillfully they parrot what you want to hear, their history of terrorism and betrayal is undeniable.

Sarah For Trump, Iranian-American X user:
What the fuck is this shit?
The #MEKterrorists are a bunch of Islamist-Marxist, undemocratic as*holes who force women to wear hijabs in their fucking cult. Their crap ideology screws over the U.S, Israel, and the Iranian people hate their guts.

Sarah Raviani, Iranian American X user:
The MEK is a terrorist organization that chanted “Death to America” and celebrated the 1979 U.S. Embassy seizure in Tehran after Iran fell to Khomeini.

Ali Hamid, Iranian documentary filmmaker:
To clueless U.S. politicians:
The MEK, which you support and normalize, killed dozens of Americans, including these servicemen. If Iranian lives don’t matter to you, respect your own victims’ families. Shame.

MEK killed US personel newspaper

Niyak Ghorbani, UK-based Iranian user:
Supporting the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), (OIAC Iran) is akin to supporting the terrorist organisation Hamas 30 years from now—a group that has always been an enemy of Israel and the Jewish people. The MEK, allies of Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat, and responsible for the killing of thousands of Iranian soldiers and civilians, will have no place in a free Iran of the future. Instead, they will be brought to justice for their crimes against the Iranian people.

Saeed Ghasseminejad, Iranian economist:
MEK is a Marxist-Islamist cult with American blood on its hand.

Hillel Neuer International human rights lawyer, writer, Executive Director of United Nations Watch:
Because I occasionally appear on FoxNews, I need to inform them: this woman Maryam Rajavi and her Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) are a cult. Not a credible voice at all.

European Union

MEK former members write letter to Peter Stano

Chief Spokesperson of the European Union
Dear Dr. Peter Stano,

Organizations known as People’s Mojahedin (MEK & MKO) and all its associations in Europe, which have launched the defense of women, human rights, freedom, etc. under false guises, as well as the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) which is used to hide its nature of terrorism and deception from public opinion. They are both terrorist in nature. Actually, these organizations fight against humanity, human conscience, and rationality.

Such an anti-human group has killed its countrymen and fellow Iranian soldiers in alliance with the enemy of its country. This has been done by the MEK in cooperation with the former dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein.

This criminal group actually operates as a “destructive cult of mind control” with the mechanism of “personality cult leadership” and “sectarian brainwashing”. In the 21st century, it is supported by western progressive systems and European countries; it still holds its own members in captivity; it runs its violent activities and anti-human actions from the heart of the Europe.

Please ask your colleagues to analyze the content of this cult’s Persian website (“mojahedin.org”) and see its propaganda about crime, thuggery, arson, and disrupting the social order of Iranian cities. Unfortunately, the European Union is not only silent about this, but also supports this destructive cult of personality.

The sites and satellite channels of this aggressive and violent group (with the support of European systems) constantly give orders to their agents in Iran to make bombs and explode different places in Iran.

In France, Albania, and other European countries, where the Cult of Rajavi officially operates, it uses the Internet to create chaos inside the country, but the members of the group do not have personal access to the Internet to contact their loved ones.

The “war-seekers” lobby in America and a number of European officials and parliamentarians, whose common denominator is to create a war against the country of Iran, are trying to convince the European decision-makers that the MEK terrorist organization is a suitable alternative for Iran’s government. Meanwhile, all Iranian people know that the MEK and its front organizations in Europe, in the role of the fifth column of the Iraqi army, have been the most hated opposition group in Iran, which has killed more than 17,000 people since 1981.

The trapped and captive members in the cult who are kept in an isolated remote camp in Albania, cannot learn a foreign language and look for job and live like free people and refugees in Europe; they have to pursue violent actions against their own country in the troll farm of the group. They work as robots behind computers and in virtual space.

As former members of the MEK terrorist organization, who are aware of the depth of the human tragedy in the group, our request is this: please use your authority in order to inform your European colleagues in the member states of the Union to stop blindly supporting the terrorist MEK and do not serve the American warmongers and the owners of weapon factories.

Best Regards
A group of former members of the MEK from Ilam Province, Iran

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

In Modena, beyond the liberal curtain of disinformation

The selection of public initiatives in the post-Covid era certainly has the merit of bringing out initiatives, conferences and conventions in which, with a skillful work of clearing away castles in the air and frivolous speeches, implications, facts and events emerge that otherwise no one would know anything about.

This is the case of the seminar held on Saturday 12 in Modena under the theme Iran’s fight against internal and international terrorism in the multipolar world, organized by the Eurasianist movement La Terra dei Padri.

After a very brief introduction by Beatrice De Maio, former city councilor now in Indipendenza!, Stefano Bonilauri (director of the esteemed Anteo Edizioni) took the floor to summarize the Iranian fight against terrorism both in Syria and within it, against the “People’s Mujaheddin” (MEK); the topic was then covered extensively by the analyses of Maria Morigi, a scholar of Eastern religions and an expert on the Middle East, and by the direct testimonies of Javad Hasheminejad and Erisa Idrizi, respectively presidents of the Iranian Association of Victims of Terror and of the Nejat Society, its Albanian counterpart.

Hanieh Tarkian, a graduate in Islamic Sciences, excellently coordinated the translation work and presented the book she edited Courage and Faith. The example of General Qassem Soleimani in the fight against international terrorism (Passaggio al Bosco, Florence 2022). Shiite religious authority Abolfazl Emami formulated some reflections on the nature of Islam and its historical and theological aversion to any form of terrorism, the work was concluded by a speech by Gianni Alemanno.
The MEK, established in the 1960s and contributed to the overthrow of the Shah under the banner of an undefined ideology of eclecticism between Marxism and Islamism, but took up arms against the Islamic Republic immediately after 1979 and also allied itself with Saddam’s Iraq in the 1980-88 war, settling in Iraq for a long time.

Expelled when Baghdad began to draw closer to Iran, it settled in Albania under the cover of the USA and the EU: the leader, Mariam Rajavi, was welcomed with full honors also in Italy (bipartisan, as can be seen from some statements by former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and MEP Susanna Ceccardi shown in the slide); here, now a sect in all respects, it has committed violence, imposed restrictions and brainwashed its members, under the guise of the cult of its leaders. Also expelled from Albania following a prolonged international mobilization, there is talk of establishing its center in Italy, which, clearly, has certainly not met with the favorable opinion of Tehran. As Emami has underlined, Italy and Iran have a long-standing relationship, and ruining it as happened with Albania (before 2012 there were embassies of the two countries in their respective capitals, today nothing) would not benefit anyone. Not to mention, we add, other public order problems that are added to those caused by the full-scale decommissioning. (JC)
