During a ceremony in Kerman Province to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, the IRGC spokesman, Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif lashed out at European officials for allowing members of the anti-Iran terrorist cult Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) to rally outside the European Parliament.
The MKO’s infamous ringleader Maryam Rajavi “thinks that our people have forgotten the crimes of the MKO,” he said. “They killed 17,000 Iranian people and officials and embraced [Iraq’s] Ba’athist party during the imposed war. They stood in the ranks of traitors to their nation and killed dozens of the country’s youths with the help of [Iraqi dictator] Saddam Hussein.”
The MKO organized a rally in Paris over the weekend, calling on the European Union to blacklist the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
“The IRGC must be added to the list of designated terrorist organizations by the European Union,” Rajavi told the attendees on Sunday.
The MKO terrorist group is responsible for causing the largest part of the 17,000-plus fatalities that have resulted from acts of terror since the 1979 victory of Iran’s Islamic Revolution.
The terrorist group also fought alongside Iraqi forces in the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s war on Iran in the 1980s.
However, the US and the European Union removed the MKO from their lists of terrorist organizations in order to use them as proxies against Iran.
Iranian officials have condemned the “shameless hypocrisy” of the US and its European allies in supporting a terrorist cult that has Iranian blood on its hands.
