[2]<br \/>\nBesides, the meeting had bad news for the MKO. \u201cPompeo also distanced the administration from the People&#8217;s Mujahedin of Iran, or MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq), an anti-regime group that the U.S. once designated as a foreign terrorist organization,\u201d Axios reported. \u201c Several people in the room told Pompeo they worried about what message it sent for close Trump allies \u2014 National Security Adviser John Bolton and Trump&#8217;s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani among them \u2014 to appear friendly with the MEK, whom some in the room described as worse than the current regime.\u201d [3]<br \/>\nAnd this was the secretary\u2019s response:&#8221;Ambassador Bolton spoke at an MEK rally. President Trump and I have not.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;He acknowledged that John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani had connections or ties, whatever you want to call it &#8230; with the MEK, but he did say that he and the president did not,&#8221;Texas attorney Michael Payma \u2013another person who was in the room&#8211; told Axios. [4]<br \/>\nFurthermore, whether the MEK is embraced by the US administration or not, one thing is for sure. The MEK is not the representative of the Iranian \u201cKhalq\u201d but it is against the khalq. It is always supporting the most hostile policies and actions against Iranian nation.<br \/>\nDuring the 1980s, the MEK formed \u201cSaddam\u2019s private army\u201d and fought against its countrymen in the eight years of Iran-Iraq war. Following the collapse of the Iraqi dictator, it turned into the henchmen of the Israeli and US intelligence. The MEK agents were Mossad\u2019s operational arms to assassinate the Iranian nuclear scientists in the 2000s. And, today the MEK is in all fronts against the Iranian people, no matter the enemies of Iran want it or not.<br \/>\nMazda Parsi<br \/>\n[1] DiChristopher, Tom, Trump aims to drive Iran\u2019s oil exports to zero by ending sanctions waivers, CNBC, April 22nd, 2019.<br \/>\n[2] Swan, Jonathan, Scoop: Trump administration opposes military intervention in Iran, AXIOS, April 22nd, 2019.<br \/>\n[3] ibid<br \/>\n[4] ibid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More good news for the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO\/ MEK\/ PMOI\/ the Cult of Rajavi): \u201cThe Trump administration will sharply accelerate its goal of driving Iran\u2019s oil exports to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[90,642,178],"module":[81],"ctype":[17],"blog":[3],"class_list":["post-9695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mujahedin-khalq-proxy-force","tag-mujahedin-warmongers","tag-paid-advocacy-for-mko","tag-pmoi-iran-people","module-article","ctype-story","blog-nejat-bloggers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9695","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=9695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9695"},{"taxonomy":"module","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/module?post=9695"},{"taxonomy":"ctype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ctype?post=9695"},{"taxonomy":"blog","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nejatngo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog?post=9695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
