A clear example of this is the terrorist group mojahedin. Americans introduce them as terrorists and protect them at the same time, preventing their expulsion from Iraq. They shout slogans of democracy but they want a puppet government. However, Iraqi people didn&#8217;t allow Americans&#8217; dreams come true.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">Sheikh Hajj Sa&#8217;d Abdulhosein also pointed to Iran&#8217;s sovereignty in the region and said:&#8221;I&#8217;ve no ties to any political movement and I speak as an Iraqi. We are happy that Iran has hot nuclear energy. This has changed the power balance in favor of nations.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">On the issue of mojahedin, he addressed Mr. Hasheminezhad and said: <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">&#8220;When Saddam was in power, Iraqis suffered more than Iranians from the group. They helped former security services of Saddam, which played an active role in suppressing Iraqi people and opposition. We hope Iraqi parliament&#8217;s decisions to expel this terrorist group could be executed as soon as possible.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">Following Sheikh Sa&#8217;d comments, Mr. Ghazi, a cultural activist from Kut, explained the general situation of Iraq and talked about the problems: <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">&#8220;We are now challenged by terrorism in Iraq, including the presence of terrorist group of mojahedin that&#8217;s our common problem. The two nations have many commonalities; so, we ask the Iranian government to help establishing security and fighting terrorism in Iraq.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">Then, Taleb Abdulamir explained Iraq&#8217;s educational status and said that there were many talented students among Iraqi youths. He presented his proposals for strengthening cultural ties, particularly in the field of higher education. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">He also stressed that all Iraqi elites want the expulsion of MKO from Iraq. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';\">At the end of the meeting, participants watched a film on Mujahedin&#8217;s crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the meeting, joined by Habilian&#8217;s executive secretary Mohamad Sanawi and some other members of the Association, representative of Kut tribesmen and people Sheikh Hajj Sa&#8217;d Abdulhosein stressed that mojahedin are the common enemy of Iranians and Iraqis.&#8221;More than Iranians, Iraqis suffered from this group and that&#8217;s why they call for the expulsion of the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":-1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[233],"tags":[234],"module":[81],"ctype":[17],"blog":[306],"class_list":["post-1494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-habilian-association","tag-habilian-association","module-article","ctype-story","blog-habilian-association"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1494"},{"taxonomy":"module","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/module?post=1494"},{"taxonomy":"ctype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ctype?post=1494"},{"taxonomy":"blog","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog?post=1494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
