Well, what’s the crucial fact about Iran, which we should begin with, is that for the past 60 years, not a day has passed in which the U.S. has not been torturing Iranians.
In this web-only exclusive, MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky talks about the past 60 years of U.S.-Iranian relations since the 1953 coup organized by the CIA. "The crucial fact about Iran, which we should begin with, is that for the past 60 years not a day has passed in which the U.S. has not been torturing
In order to investigate the future of Iran-U.S. relations, Washington's approach toward Iran following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the White House's reactions to the election of President Rouhani in Iran's June 14 presidential elections and the missed opportunities of reconciliation between Iran and the United States, Iran Review conducted an interview with Lawerence Wilkerson, political scientist, former U.S. Army Colonel and chief of staff to United States Secretary of State
During the past few days, the Wall Street Journal and Boston Globe have published stories citing evidence that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a 9/11 truth supporter. However, they failed to mention the obvious implication: Tsarnaev was an innocent patsy who was framed for a bombing he did not commit.
The Boston Globe said of Tsarnaev: “He believed that 9/11 was an inside job and that the government had pulled it off.” The source: Donald Larking, a friend of Tsarnaev and member of
Sixty-eight years ago this week, the United States wiped out more than 200,000 people when it dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Tens of thousands more victims were to die over the ensuing years due to slow, painful deaths from cancers and birth defects.
Yet the US - the only state to have ever used atomic weapons - has never apologized or made any atonement for this singularly horrific crime. Officially, the US justifies it as a
Even obsessive Iran hawks have to recognize that siding with a group reviled in Iran for its role in the Iran-Iraq war is doomed to fail, and every high-profile American that praises and lobbies on behalf of this group is another propaganda victory for the Iranian government.
Just because the MEK is no longer listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S., that doesn’t mean that the shameless shilling and lying on their behalf has stopped. Here is Hugh Shelton:
For years
During the past three decades the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK, a.k.a. MKO and NCRI) has pretty well proven its ability to recruit people through deceitful offers and advertisements, which is one of its idiosyncrasies through which they fill their rallies with hundreds of and even thousands of non-Iranians.
Another year, another June, and another non-Iranian huge rally in Villepinte, Paris. Each year, the terrorist MKO group-let celebrates the anniversary
With a review on US-MKO relations, it can be seen the MKO has always been perceived by various US governments as nothing more than a tool to be used against Iran.
Founded in 1965 by a group of leftist Iranian college students, the “Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, a.k.a MEK and NCRI)” was mainly devoted to opposing the rule of the Shah before the Islamic revolution. In its first five years, the group primarily engaged in ideological work, their interpretation of Islam and
A new wave of deadly terrorist bombings in Iraq, mainly targeting Shias, has resulted in a civilian death toll of over 700 with over 1600 injured in the month of April, 2013. This follows 229 deaths in March, 418 in February and 319 in January of 2013 for a total of over 1,600 killed in armed violence in Iraq up to May. So far in May, the death toll exceeds 250.
On Monday, May 20, deadly bomb attacks in Iraq took the lives of more than 70 Shia Muslims. Serial terrorist acts
Undoubtedly, one of the most prominent examples of double standards adopted by the United States and some other western countries towards the terrorism issue, is their attitude towards the terrorist Mujahedin e-Khalq Organization.
In an obvious contrast with international laws, MKO members were granted asylum while the group was still on the list of terrorist organizations. Despite they witnessed the terrorist group’s crimes, MKOs’ headquarters were protected by the Police in
More than a decade since the United States unleashed its military on the Middle East in the name of fighting terrorism, countries in the region have only seen terrorism expand.
The United States’ support of terrorist groups such as PJAK can be easily proved by monitoring these groups’ activities. The USA shares many common goals with such terrorist groups including confrontation with Iran. PJAK is just another good terrorist from the United States’ point of view.
PJAK came
Reviewing the book Terrorism of the State, Ron Jacobs asks some penetrating questions such as; is it the actor that determines whether or not an act is terroristic? Or why is the US hesitant to accept the commonly held definition of terrorism? And is the reason because doing so would indict the United States as a terrorist state?
I DON'T have a single American friend. I don't understand them," said Tamarlan Tsarnaev.
The Boston terrorism has been squelched: Tamarlan, dead in a
The issue of weird and cult-like conduct of the leaders of Mujahedin e-Khalq organization (MKO, a.k.a MEK and NCRI) and their bizarre treatment of other members has been an acknowledged issue.
The MKO authorizes use of violence against its own members. MKO leaders further use acts of violence as a tool for inner-cultish elimination of members who have somehow distanced from the group’s ideology.
Some major and most prominent methods adopted by leaders of terrorist groups such
MKO’s history is filled with complicated brainwashing techniques to prepare its members for different terrorist operations including suicide attacks and the organization has a long record of using suicide terrorism to take out Iranian political or religious elite.
Humiliation and revenge appear to play a key role at the organizational and individual levels in shaping the sub-culture that promotes suicide operations. Humiliation is an emotional process that seeks to discipline
US politicians who attended the fete included Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I) who had recently traveled to Sweden to speak at the group’s demonstration in Stockholm. Previous to the Stockholm gathering, Kennedy and his other comrades had been offered trips to Paris and other on first class fights and luxury hotels to speak on behalf of the group. Various reports on the large amounts of money paid to the MKO supporters point out that "Money" really "Talks".

Mujahedin e-Khalq organization(MKO, a.k.a MEK and NCRI) has got a long list of crimes recorded in its history including torture, murder and assassination of innocent people. Iranians are not their only victims, Iraqi nation has also suffered from MKO’s atrocities during the Intifada of Iraq in 1991.
Assassination of American citizens is another one of MKO’s crimes when they were still in Iran. Despite MKO has formally taken responsibility for these assassinations, not only the
If the MEK had succeeded in its goals in the 1980s, it would have been the puppet leadership installed by Hussein to replace the Iranian leadership of the time.
The Christian Science Monitor reported on the opening of the MEK’s office in Washington last week:
An Iranian dissident group that languished on the US list of terrorist organizations for more than a decade under both Democratic and Republican administrations marked its full rehabilitation Thursday when it opened sleek
The tragic comedy of the phony War on Terror is being exposed as never before for the sham that it is. Press TV reported yesterday the opening of the MKO terrorist organization office a block away from the White House. What a message that sends to the world...that we look out for our terrorists and take good care of them, but it just might take a little time to do it.
This is the group who inflicted four 911's on Iran by murdering 12,000 in terrorist attacks, much of it under
Mujahedin-e Khalq organization (MKO, a.k.a. MEK and NCRI) has launched a page on its website recently, which is dedicated to receiving money from the website visitors titled as “donation”.
This seems to be a notable act since MKO’s traditional approaches of fundraising in the European countries still stand on place. These fundraisings are usually undertaken under the cover of charity works and titled as “social-financial” activities. The group’s TV channel also launches
The nuclear water-boarding of Iran continues by the Western powers despite its veiled politeness. It reminds me of going through fraternity hazing at college. When being paddled we were required to say, “Thank you sir, may I have another?”
We all hope that the P5+1 meetings bare ripe fruit. But I am convinced now more than ever that the focus on Iran is nothing more than a well planned diversion to keep attention away from who the real threats have been in the region.
Iran has
