An Iranian lawmaker says the US and certain political factions in Iraq seek to keep the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) near the country’s eastern borders with Iran.
“The US and certain Iraqi political factions are trying to keep the MKO near the country (Iraq)’s eastern borders in order to use them to pursue their own interests,” Mohammad Saleh Jowkar said on Sunday.
The US plans to use this group against the Iraqi nation and Iran, he added.
“The Baghdad government must firmly stand against the US and insist on the demand of the Iraqi nation for the MKO to leave the country,” the Iranian lawmaker said.
The MKO fled to Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of the country’s executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up its camp near the Iranian border.

on HuffPo: Alireza Jafarzadeh. All of his posts remain live on HuffPo, where he is touted (in a bio written by himself) as a foreign affairs analyst who has appeared all over Western media, speaking on behalf of the terrorist group. Fox News has long featured him as a contributing commentator and he currently runs his own "consulting" firm in Washington D.C. called "Strategic Policy Consulting" which is pretty much just a phony company that manages his own media appearances and lobbying to Congress. One look at his Twitter feed removes all doubt as to Jafarzadeh’s affiliation (at the highest level) with the MeK.
