\nRecently, I came across a website by the name of Organization of Iranian American communities or (OIAC). Its mission statement says: \u201cOIAC works to promote human rights and democratic freedoms for the people of Iran. This includes advocating for a democratic secular government in Iran, founded on respect for human rights, religious tolerance, and equality among all citizens.\u201d Nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n
Well, it appears OIAC or better known as the MEK is following in the footsteps of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), an influential IRI lobby in Washington, DC, one which has long sought rapprochement between Washington and Tehran and has infiltrated the US Congress promoting Iran\u2019s Mullahs agenda while claiming \u201cNIAC promotes an active and engaged Iranian-American community in the US and celebrates the community\u2019s deep historical and cultural roots and traditions.\u201d Pure garbage.<\/p>\n
Hassan Dai , an Iranian activist and political analyst in an OP-ED slammed this despised and deceptive group that has used the White House (during the Obama administration) to advance The Islamic Republic\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n
OIAC or MEK is an Islamist-Marxist cultish group headed by Maryam Rajavi, the wife of the deceased co-founder of MEK, Massoud Rajavi. During the 1970\u2019s they rebelled against the Shah and were involved in bombing and shooting American and Iranian targets. The MEK or (OIAC) executed U.S. Army Lt. Col. Lewis Hawkins in 1973 as he was walking home from the U.S. Embassy and in 1975 killed two American Air Force officers in their chauffeur driven car, an incident that was studied and used in CIA training subsequently as an example of how not to get caught and killed by terrorists. Between 1976 and 1978, the group bombed American commercial targets and killed three Rockwell defense contractors and one Texaco executive<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/USA_Double_Standard.jpg)
Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) is known for its cultish Foreign Terrorist Organizations and represents a critical threat to Iran\u2019s indigenous democratic movement. Unlike Iran\u2019s democratic opposition, which advances through nonviolence, the principles of democracy and human rights, the MEK is an undemocratic organization that pursues its agenda through violence.<\/p>\n
Michael Rubin, penned an Op-Ed stating: The Mujahidin e-Khalq Aren\u2019t America\u2019s Friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Trump administration, however, is reportedly reconsidering the pariah status of the MEK within U.S. diplomacy. Barbara Slavin, an American analyst often apologetic to the Islamic Republic, reports that \u201cUS administration talking points no longer exclude the Mujahidin-e Khalq as a potential replacement for the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d While there remains a great difference between \u201crefuses to exclude\u201d and \u201csupports,\u201d Slavin is correct to raise concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
Houston, we have a problem. The MEK cult was listed as a terrorist group in the US until 2012 \u2013 but its opposition to Tehran has attracted the backing of John Bolton, Rudy Giuliani and others bent on regime change.
