AMMAN (JT) – Jordan on Monday rejected as "utterly baseless.<\/span> news reports that it has granted asylum to members of an Iranian opposition group.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kingdom did not receive any leader or member of Mujahedin-e Khalq, and does not allow the organisation to operate on Jordanian soil as claimed by Iranian news reports<\/span>\u009d<\/span>, Government Spokesperson Nasser Judeh said in remarks to the press.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judeh expressed shock at such allegations as well as the media campaign targeting Jordan “with the aim of attacking the Kingdom and casting doubts on its stands”<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that such reports come despite efforts exerted by His Majesty King Abdullah to build brotherly relations between the two countries based on mutual respect and understanding.<\/p>\n

Mujahedin-e Khalq, or the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, is an Islamic socialist organisation that advocates the overthrow of Iran’s government.<\/p>\n

The group, which was harboured by the former Iraqi regime, is designated as a terrorist group by the US, Canada and the EU.<\/p>\n

Jordan and Iran restored diplomatic ties in the early 1990s after the two states severed their relations in 1980 following the outbreak of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war.<\/p>\n

The King paid an historic visit to Tehran in September 2003. <\/p>\n
