Raeisi: God doomed MKO terrorists anti-Islamic Revolution bids to failure

Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi addresses a conference attended by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, and the judicial system’s directors, staff and judges in Tehran on June 27, 2022.

Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi said in the early years after the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the seditious circles, backed by global hegemony, sought to deal blows to the country through carrying out physical and character assassinations against the Islamic Revolution’s front, symbols and figures, but their bids ended in failure thanks to God’s favor.

He made the remarks in an address to a Monday conference attended by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei and the judicial system’s directors, staff and judges, condemning the acts of terror and sabotage perpetrated by the anti-Iran and terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) ever since the victory of the Islamic Revolution, president.ir reported.  

Raeisi added during the 1980s, the MKO terrorists carried out many character assassinations, noting that they attacked figures who were regarded as the Islamic Revolution’s symbols through spreading rumors, hurling baseless accusations and defamation.

The terrorist group sought to marginalize the Islamic Revolution and prepare the ground for the domination of the global hegemony over Iran, the president said, adding, nevertheless, the Islamic Revolution emerged victorious over them thanks to God’s favor.

He noted that over the past four decades, the terrorist MKO organization’s footprint could be seen in any unpleasant incident and act of sedition in the country.

During the past 40 years, the terror organization has always sought to continue its evil plots against the Islamic Republic, but has been defeated in each and every attempt and will continue to fail in the future, Raeisi said.

The MKO has conducted numerous assassinations and bombings against Iranian statesmen and civilians since the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Its members fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq, where they enjoyed backing from former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist assaults since the Islamic Revolution, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the MKO’s acts of terror.

The anti-Iran cult was on the U.S. government’s list of terrorist organizations until 2012. Major European countries, including France, have also removed it from their blacklists.

A few years ago, MKO elements were relocated from their Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s Diyala Province to Camp Hurriyet (Camp Liberty), a former U.S. military base in Baghdad, and later sent to Albania.

MKO terrorists enjoy freedom of activity in the United States and Europe, and even hold meetings with European and American officials.
