<\/p>\nWith Trump\u2019s apparent determination to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO\/MEK\/PMOI\/ the Cult of Rajavi) has just found more room to move around the US government to launch its anti-Iran lobbying campaign more generously \u2013pushing its paid advocates to run their \u201cwar on Iran\u201d agenda.<\/p>\n
Trump described the nuclear deal as an”embarrassment”to the United States. Meanwhile, John Bolton may be the most vocal Iran hawk who addressed the September 20 rally coordinated by the Organization of Iranian-American Communities (OIAC), and members of the MKO, against the visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in New York. \u201cI think it was a disastrous agreement for the United States to make; harmful to the United States, harmful to its friends and allies, harmful to the people of Iran. The sooner we get out of it, the better,\u201d Bolton told the AP reporter.[1]<\/p>\n
Bolton is certainly a symbol of return to the Bush years, but he is such a hard-liner that he would think that Bush didn\u2019t go nearly far enough in his foreign policy. He comes from the faction of the US government that wanted (and still wants) war with Iran, more confrontation with Russia and China, and a generally more aggressive approach to any threat (real or imagined). Like Trump, he is an alleged nationalist, but it is a nationalism defined by fulfilling their wish for U.S. \u201cleadership\u201d over the world. Muhammad Sahimi, a professor of the University of Southern California says, \u201cThey disguise this wish under the term”US leadership\u201d. To them, international treaties and organizations are useful only to the extent that they protect and advance what they consider as the US interests, which are almost never the true national interests of the United States.\u201d [2]<\/p>\n
\u201cFor years Bolton has been advocating bombing Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities, either by Israel, the US, or both,\u201d Sahimi writes. \u201cHe is also a lobbyist for Mujahedin-e Khalgh Organization (MEK, also known as MKO), an Iranian opposition group that for years was listed by the State Department as a terrorist organization, and is universally despised by the Iranian people for its collaboration with the regime of Saddam Hussein during Iran-Iraq war, and working with Israel to assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists. Bolton also has very cozy relations with anti-Muslim hate groups, which only goes to show the depth of the man\u2019s mental state.\u201d [3]<\/p>\n
Probably the most troublesome part of Bolton and other neocons, in the eye of his country-men is his avowed support for regime change and his fondness for the Cult of Rajavi. When he talks about providing \u201cvigorous support\u201d to Iran\u2019s opposition, he is talking about the MKO! Bolton should admit the bitter truth that no credible protesting party inside Iran wants anything to do with U.S. interference in their politics, and they absolutely aren\u2019t interested in regime change. The so-called opposition that Bolton supports is the MKO, which is widely loathed in Iran and doesn\u2019t speak for Iranian protesters of the Tehran government. However, Bolton seems to be blocked, regarding his own testimony in an op-ed where he confessed that he doesn\u2019t have access to the White House.<\/p>\n
The huge contradiction is that the MKO authorities who invest too much on the role of Bolton-like warmongers, paying large amounts of money for the speaking fees in their rallies and even expenses of the luxurious trips to Paris and Tirana to appear in their propaganda shows, claim that they seek non-violent regime change in Iran!<\/p>\n
\u201cBolton\u2019s comprehensive plan of aggression (BCPOA) against Iran is built upon lies, exaggeration, warmongering, and twisting the truth,\u201d states Muhammad Sahimi. It should be added that the MKO\u2019s claim of non-violent regime change is also built upon lies, exaggeration and illusion. According to Dr. Sahimi, \u201cBolton\u2019s plan is also crude and cruel\u201d and the MKO is evidently supporting and propagating this plan in its propaganda machine. [4]<\/p>\n
The MKO\u2019s company with US warmongers demonstrates its utmost hypocrisy and corruption.<\/p>\n
