During ongoing legal proceedings against the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK), Tehran\u2019s Criminal Court heard new evidence linking the terrorist group to Israeli attacks during the recent 12-day war\u2014including the targeting of a civilian hospital.<\/p>\n
At the 36th public session of the trial, held Tuesday, at Branch 11 of Tehran Province\u2019s Criminal Court One, presiding Judge Hojjatoleslam Amir-Reza Dehqani announced that MEK operatives had coordinated with Israeli intelligence by gathering data on traffic flow near Kermanshah\u2019s Farabi Hospital and passing it on to the regime in Tel Aviv. The intelligence was used to carry out a deadly strike on the hospital.<\/p>\n
Judge Dehqani opened the hearing by condemning Israel\u2019s actions and praising the Iranian Armed Forces for defending national sovereignty in the face of foreign-sponsored terrorism. He also expressed condolences to the families of those killed in the recent war, declaring:
\n\u201cWe are witnessing a new phase of hegemonic aggression aimed at destabilizing independent nations by assassinating their intellectual and scientific leaders. These acts are designed to uphold an unjust global order maintained by arrogant powers.”
\nDaughter of martyred scientist demands justice<\/p>\n
Zohreh Abbasi Davani, daughter of late nuclear scientist Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi Davani\u2014killed in the recent Israeli-led assault\u2014testified in court, calling for accountability in a prior 2010 assassination attempt on her father.
\n\u201cThe second attack claimed my father\u2019s life, re-injured my mother, and killed a neighbor. Twenty-eight families were displaced. My father was not a military figure\u2014he was a university professor devoted to the country\u2019s scientific progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following her statement, Judge Dehqani revealed that new documents and testimony submitted by the second defendant showed active cooperation between MEK members and Israeli operatives, particularly in identifying and targeting Iranian nuclear scientists. He said the evidence would be reviewed in full and, if warranted, referred back to the Prosecutor\u2019s Office.
\nWidow of another assassinated scientist: MEK targeted Iran\u2019s scientific core<\/p>\n
The widow of Dr. Masoud Ali-Mohammadi, another prominent Iranian nuclear physicist assassinated in a separate incident, also testified.<\/p>\n
\u201cTen days before his death, my husband showed me emails and satellite images of nuclear sites sent by the MEK. When he refused to engage, they killed him.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cThe MEK has betrayed the Iranian people since the Revolution. My husband\u2019s killing wasn\u2019t just a personal loss\u2014it was an attack on the nation\u2019s scientific backbone. It risks setting back Iran\u2019s intellectual development for generations.\u201d
\nConcluding her testimony, she formally pressed charges: \u201cI demand that those within the MEK responsible for these crimes be held accountable.<\/p>\n
