Amid the latest turmoil in Iran, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called French President Emmanuel Macron on January 2th to urge him to take immediate action against an exiled Iranian terrorist organization with a branch in Paris, which as he said, incites violent demonstrations in the country.
This news didn’t’ see the light of mainstream media, but it is a top priority for understanding the latest events in Iran, as a huge network of bribery and terrorism that is protected by American, European and Saudi officials aiming to topple the Iranian regime, is being revealed.
The Marxist-Islamic terrorist organization Mujahadin-e Khalq (MEK or MKO), also known as the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, is responsible for a series of assassinations and bombing attacks in Iran with thousands of victims since the 70's, including the bombing of Khomeini's party offices in 1981 that killed a total of 72 people. The list of victims prior to the Islamic Revolution in 1979 includes American citizens and officials, and after 1979 the organization committed to the downfall of the Iranian regime.
In the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq in the 80's, MEK joined sides with Iraq, being heavily armed by Saddam Hussein and carrying out attacks from the border against Iran, something which made the organization even more appalling to the average Iranians.
MEK members remained in the Ashraf and Liberty camps in Iraq, but in 2011-2013 they were withdrawn after an agreement and at least 3.000 MEP members-fighters resettled in Albania.
In February 2017 it was reported that a number of US politicians and officials from both parties had accepted money from MEK to support it by calling for a "regime change" and "democracy" in Iran. Among them, Elaine Chao, Trump's Transportation Secretary, who received $ 50.000 for a speech in Paris at the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the political wing of the organization. Chao received another $ 17.500 for another speech at the Iranian-American Cultural Association of Missouri, which is affiliated with MEK.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was one of the politicians who admitted that they had been paid by MEK but the amount of money he received is not known. In front of a number of MEP supporters in Paris in 2015, Giuliani said: "The ayatollah must go! Gone! Out! No more!...I will not support anyone for president of the United States who isn't clear on that slogan behind me. What does it say? It says regime change!"
This is, of course, only the tip of the iceberg. [READ MORE]
