39 years ago, with the entry of the MKO into the armed phase, they manifested certain actions which were quite similar to those of the ISIS in recent years. In this report, we address part of this group's strategy in creating terror.
The last days of June 1981 (first days of Tir 1360 according to Persian calendar) were some of the most inflammatory days in the political history of Iran. The day before the ouster of Bani Sadr from the presidency by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, the MKO set
"Mojahedin-e Khalq! You are the offspring of the Liberation Movement, you were born in 1964 while we were in prison and you went your own way, without running away from home or being expelled." This is one of the most well-known statements of Mahdi Bazargan in May 1981 addressing Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO); a statement that was intended to pacify them.
Even though this quotation from Bazargan is generally used to pinpoint the origin of Mojahedin-e Khalq i.e., the Liberation Movement
As the condition on the front line of the war with Iraq worsened and simultaneously with the political crisis that led to the ouster of the first president of Iran Abolhassan Banisadr, the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) which thought that the Islamic Republic is in a weak position, turned the summer of 1981 into a bloody season for Iranian people.
According to the Holy Defense Research & Document Center, the summer of 1981 (1360 in Persian calendar) is one of the most crucial
The Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization is one of the terrorist groups that has carried out the largest number of terrorist attacks against the Iranian people and government. This Op-Ed, which is being published in khamenei.ir, is a brief report of the crimes of this group and the history of the support it has received from the United States, European governments and Saudi Arabia.

“About three weeks had passed since the capture of Mehran. On July 18, 1988, we were informed via Farsi radios that the Islamic Republic Regime has officially accepted Resolution 598 of the Security Council. The brigade was shocked by hearing this news. No one believed that the regime one day would accept a cease-fire. The organization’s leadership had induced us that the regime would not accept any ceasefire
These days mark the 31th anniversary of Operation “Eternal Light”, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK) terrorist group’s largest military movement against the Islamic Republic of Iran in July 1988. On the other hand, this operation marks the MeK’s biggest military defeat and the end of their desire to advance armed war strategy to overthrow the Iranian government.
The MEK was deployed in Iraq since June 1984 to conduct attacks against Iranian troops along the Iran-Iraq border. This decision sparked a
Maryam Rajavi’s arrest on 17 June 2003 and its aftermath gave the states and the public opinion the opportunity to see behind the pseudo-democratic face of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MeK). Accused of terrorist activities, association with a terrorist organization and financing terrorist operations, the French Police raided the office of MeK at Auvers-sur-Oise and arrested 164 suspected Mojahedin cadres as well as Maryam Rajavi. Immediately after the arrests, a number of the group’s insiders
On May 17, 1986, the Iraqi Ba'athist army, along with the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization, which had just begun its military cooperation with Saddam, attacked Mehran with the aim of recapturing Faw. Chanting the slogan “Mehran instead of Faw”, they stipulated that Mehran will be evacuated only if Iranian forces leave Faw. However, a few months later, Iranian fighters not only retreated from Faw, but also cleared the city of Mehran and surrounding areas of Iraqi army forces in Operation
When members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) announced their intention to become Marxists, the question posed as to whether this happened due to the penetration of eclectics or the organization had fundamental problems from the beginning.

On May 3, 1979, Ayatollah Motahari was assassinated by the agents of the Forqan group. Some believe that the Forqan terrorist group was a military branch of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) before launching the armed revolt in June 1981.
The first terrorist operation by the Forqan group took place on May 3, 1958, with the assassination of Major General Qarani, the first Chief of Staff of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Exploiting Washington’s hostile policy toward Tehran, the Mojahedin-e Khalq organization (MEK) posit themselves as the alternative to the current government of Iran. To achieve that goal, they claim they have the support of a majority of Iranians. This claim is much disputed by academics and other specialists on Iran, who assert that in fact, the MEK has little support among Iranians. They argue that the Mojahedin's activities since the group's leadership fled from Iran in
Among the many indicators of misdirection in the Trump administration’s policy toward Iran, one of the clearest is the fondness for the cult-cum-terrorist group known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq, or MEK. The national security advisor, John Bolton, and Donald Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, are among the group’s most prominent cheerleaders, having been featured speakers at its rallies in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars in fees.

A look at their political career reveals that they have performed many assassinations from the top-level authorities to people in the streets. They do not care about their targets, and it seems that violence and shedding blood are a part of their manifest; since they use weapons for intraorganizational purification, too. An example would be Majid Sharif Vaghefi, who was killed and his body was burnt by the members of Mujahedin-e Khalq (MKO)
On July 31, 1987, 6th of Dhu Al-Hijjah, 1407 (lunar year), the “Disavowal of Infidels” (al-bara'a min al-mushrikin) ceremony, rallies held by pilgrims in Mecca to denounce Israel and the United States, was harshly suppressed by Saudi Government, an action which led to the killing of many of Iranian pilgrims.

In the context of international cooperation, governments pursue peacekeeping efforts both nationally and regionally and internationally. But what we have to say is that the principle of law enforcement, which is between governments, provides for less attention to the legitimacy of non-regulatory and peaceful counter-measures by governments. This principle is important because these actions have been accepted in response to the violation of fundamental rules of international laws.
