The approximate coincidence of the latest MEK propaganda show with the Israeli attack on Iran is not surprising. These two organizations, enemies of each other, are therefore friends. Although this friendship is not obvious, it has been manifested in many espionage and operational matters.<\/p>\n
After the MEK’s recent show in Washington DC to supposedly expose an Iranian nuclear weapons program, entitled “Kavir Plan,” Newsweek magazine, publishing a report on Alireza Jafarzadeh’s claims at that meeting, considered the MEK and Israeli efforts to obtain information and spy on Iran’s nuclear program to be parallel:
\n\u201cThe MEK’s efforts to in expose Iranian nuclear secrets dates back to at least 2002, when the group revealed the existence of the Natanz uranium enrichment site and Arak heavy water plant. The campaign has run in parallel with efforts by Israel to target and unveil covert Iranian nuclear activity, including a 2018 raid by the Mossad intelligence agency through which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed to have obtained up to 100,000 documents related to Iran’s nuclear program.\u201d<\/p>\n
We do know that there are numerous reports of intelligence and operational cooperation between the MEK and the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad. Following the first wave of attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists, which killed several of them, US officials confirmed the allegations made by Iranian leaders, telling NBC News that the deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists were being carried out by an Iranian opposition group (the MEK) that was financed, trained and armed by Mossad.
\nIn fact, the MEK, as an opposition force with Iranian nationality, familiarity with the Iranian language and culture, and very experienced in organized operations, is the best choice for Mossad.<\/p>\n
The role of the MEK organization in spying on the Iranian nuclear program and assassinating nuclear scientists was later confirmed in reports by other investigative journalists. Kevin Jon Heller, professor of international law and security at the University of Copenhagen, discussed the potential role of Israel and the MEK in the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists. Specifically, Heller addressed the NBC report that suggested Israel and MEK were responsible for these killings and that Israel was sponsoring the MEK’s actions:<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the Terrorist Bombing Convention, \u201cstates cannot be terrorist\u201d only insofar as bombings are conducted by the \u201cmilitary forces\u201d of a state; bombings conducted by a civilian intelligence service such as the Mossad are not excluded from the Convention\u2019s definition of terrorism. So yes, the Mossad\u2019s actions in using MEK to kill the Iranian nuclear scientists qualify as terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, about 13 years after the publication of the above-mentioned analysis, the Newsweek reporter asks Jafarzadeh about the MEK’s cooperation with Israel at a press conference:
\n\u201cJafarzadeh declined to comment on whether or not the MeK was cooperating with Israel on the issue. However, he confirmed that the information was being shared with President Donald Trump’s administration as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).\u201d<\/p>\n
Gareth Porter, an American investigative journalist, has published numerous reports and even a book on the fabricated intelligence by Israel and the MEK and their collaboration to undermine Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n
After the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, another Iranian nuclear scientist, he suggested that Israel\u2019s Mossad had spent years on a propaganda campaign aimed at convincing the world that Iran had a nuclear weapons program and legitimizing the assassination of Iranian scientists. According to Porter\u2019s research, the MEK is also the operational arm of Mossad in its propaganda against Iran to justify its assassinations.<\/p>\n
According to Porter\u2019s article, \u201cin their 2012 history of Israel\u2019s intelligence service,\u201d Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service\u201d, Michael Bar-Zohar and Nisham Mishal pointed to Mossad as the culprit behind the appearance of the supposed Iranian nuclear documents. The writers recounted how Mossad gathered the personal information on Fakhrizadeh that was later released to the public through the MEK, including his passport number and his home telephone number.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis abundance of detail and means of transmission,\u201d Bar-Zohar and Mishal wrote, \u201cleads one to believe that\u2026 \u2018a certain secret service\u2019 ever suspected by the West of pursuing its own agenda, painstakingly collected these facts and figures about the Iranian scientist and passed them on to the Iranian resistance [MEK].\u201d Porter asserts that this is \u201ca pattern of assassinations justified by disinformation\u201d.<\/p>\n
It is obvious that the MEK organization, which has failed to gain the support of the Iranian people by repeating concepts such as “resistance units”, “uprising” and \u201cdemocracy\u201d, is forced to hang itself in the hands of superpowers and warmongers, just as they once considered Saddam Hussein their master and landlord. Thus, the MEK’s footprint in the tragedies that are occurring in Iran today is evident.<\/p>\n
