The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq was once an Islamic-Marxist revolutionary group in Iran and later an ally of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. The U.S. and Canada listed it as a terrorist entity until 2012. Now, it is a cult-like organization.
And last year, seven Canadian MPs travelled to Albania to attend one of its events, paid for by a Canadian MEK organization, the Iran Democratic Association.
The MPs, from three different parties, collectively accepted $27,975 for travel to an event called the Free Iran
Luisa Hommerich, a Berlin-based investigative journalist with the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit, couldn't hide her joy and thrill on February 10 as she triumphantly announced the end of a protracted legal battle against a terrorist cult.
Hamburg district court had a few days ago dismissed a lawsuit filed by the German branch of the dreaded West-backed terrorist group, Mujahedin -e-Khalq Organization (MKO), after a legal fight that lasted more than ten months.
The lawsuit, in particular, took
Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle are backing a bill that endorses Maryam Rajavi, an Iranian opposition figure who leads the Mojahedin-e Khalq.
As Iranians both inside Iran and in the diaspora organize against the Islamic Republic, a bipartisan collection of over160 members of the U.S. Congress this week put forward a resolution endorsing an exiled opposition group with a past of hard-line militancy that has been credibly accused of cult-like behavior.
On Thursday, Rep. Tom
Shoplifting is the act that was officially ordered by Massoud Rajavi the leader of the Mujahedin Khalq to his followers. This crime that usually involves stealing items by the person or an accomplice, and leaving the store without paying was constantly committed by members of the MEK across the European cities, according to former members interviewed in the recently published documentary, “Iran Aid- Ashraf Charity”.
The Iranian university professor and historian, Dr. Majid Tafreshi traveled to
The Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MKO) is a cult. Indeed, its top foreign affairs representative has been unable or unwilling to name a single subject of internal dissent over the past three decades, a strange inability given his claims that the group is democratic.
The group and the shell "community organizations" it creates to funnel cash to American and European politicos also refuse to open their books, raising questions about the origins of their money. This should raise a number of questions for any
Michael Rubin wrote a new article to respond to the agent of the Mujahedin Khalq in Western media. As a contributor to the Washington Examiner and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Rubin published an article on December 30th, 2022 criticizing the US politicians for embracing the MEK. He warned about the “emptiness” of the MEK’s claims and asserted that the group is “a cult whose leader still veils and who runs the organization as an autocracy”.
The MEK’s propaganda activist
Every few months, the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization, an Iranian exile organization that fancies itself the foundation of a government-in-exile, marches in front of the White House. Its members wave portraits of Maryam Rajavi, the group’s leader, and banners singing her praises. The marchers subordinate their entire identity to the group. Members live together and forward their paychecks to the group’s coffers. They blindly accept every revision to history, from the group’s murders of Americans
Jamal Jaafar Ibrahimi, commonly known by his nom de guerre Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, preferred anonymity and low-keyness in life despite being one of the most powerful and influential military commanders in Iraq.
The deputy chief of Hashd e Shaabi, an umbrella group of Iraqi resistance outfits, Muhandis was instrumental in the decimation of the Daesh Takfiri group in Iraq, rubbing shoulders with Iran's top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani.
Notwithstanding his hallowed stature in the
General Qassem Soleimani, an epitome of the global fight against terrorism, was deemed a “high-value target” by the United States, says a political analyst from India, referring to the West as “producers of terrorism”.
Tuesday marks the third martyrdom anniversary of the celebrated anti-terror commander with massive rallies being held in his hometown Kerman in southeastern Iran, where he is buried.

On December 17, former US secretary of state and CIA director, Mike Pompeo, headlined an Organization of Iranian American Communities summit in Washington in support of the so-called “uprising” in Iran, amid his push for Republican candidacy in the 2024 elections.
Pompeo used the appearance to tout his central role in the Trump administration’s hawkish stance toward Tehran, which saw Washington impose a welter of crippling economic sanctions on the country, unilaterally walk out of the landmark
An Iranian political-militant group previously on the U.S. list of foreign terrorist organizations now has an outsized influence in Washington.
On a grey December day on a patch of grass near the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, a small group of protesters stood chanting.
Waving flags and carrying posters with photographs of people who died in Iran over the past three months of anti-regime demonstrations, the protesters called for revolution and “regime change in Iran by the people
After hours of traveling around the Iraqi border between the autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and Iran, you will come to a single conclusion: “This is a one-sided border.”
Since April 2003, after the illegal US invasion of Iraq, West Asia transformed into a vast playground for an array of foreign states and entities. Among them are Iranian Kurdish separatist parties and organizations stationed in northern Iraq.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) often targets the sites of
Eager to stand out as a steadfast U.S. ally, Tirana often entangles itself in geopolitical issues far from its shores.
By Harun Karcic: Late last month, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama paid a high-profile three-day visit to Israel, where he met with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, President Isaac Herzog, Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy, Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman, and the head of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, Gaby Portnoy. Both sides discussed enhancing security cooperation
The complicity between the United States and Albania in pursuing anti-Iran attempts is a notable issue in a situation where both enemies are not in a position to portray themselves as supporters of human rights, an Iranian political analyst said.
Hamid-Reza Asefi told IRNA on Tuesday that the Americans are not happy with anything because their regime backs coup states and provides different countries with weapons, and that their arms are being used in Yemen to kill the oppressed Yemeni people.
A long time before announcing the unilateral termination of relations between Albania and Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran had declared its protest against Tirana because of its support for the Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist group (MeK). Basically, these protests were not because of giving shelter to this notorious terrorist group in a European country in the Balkans as from the very beginning, the Albanians had apparently pledged that this group would not conduct any anti-Iran activities on
It didn't come as a surprise that the Daesh Takfiri group claimed responsibility for the dastardly terrorist attack at the revered Shah Cheragh shrine in Shiraz on Wednesday.
The modus operandi employed by the Kalashnikov-yielding terrorist who went on a rampage at the 12th-century shrine belonging to a descendant of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was straight out of the Daesh playbook.
So, quite expectedly, the group in a statement posted on their website Amaq News bragged about the carnage, which left
As a result of a terrorist attack on the holy shrine of Shah-e Cheragh in Iran's southern city of Shiraz on October 26, 13 people have been killed and 30 others wounded.
The Islamic State group late Wednesday claimed responsibility for the attack on its Amaq news agency. It said an armed militant stormed the shrine and opened fire on its visitors. It claimed that some 20 people were killed and dozens more were wounded.
Two children were among the victims, according to state-run Press TV.
The death of Mahsa Amini sparked protests and demonstrations. I do not want to go into the legitimacy of these protests but I am struck by the news of October 1 which said that the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence has presented a report according to which terrorist groups have incited the protests. According to news agency reports, 49 members of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq group, considered terrorist by Tehran and other states, were arrested, spreading propaganda to incite riots and providing
The recent unrest in Iran has its roots in foreign terrorist organizations’ attempt to provoke people to pursue their own agenda, which is overthrowing the political establishment, a British sociologist believes.
David Miller told IRNA on Monday that some foreign elements who pursue their own geopolitical agendas fanned the flame of the recent protests in Iran to pursue a regime change policy.
“The first key thing is that the premise for the protests such as they are, has been a false story about

Tehran claims Tirana has become the victim of a plot by Washington to further tarnish already-strained diplomatic relations.
Albania cut diplomatic relations with Iran and expelled its diplomats over a cyberattack it accused Tehran of launching, and the United States has backed the Balkan state.
Iran told Albania and the United Nations it was not involved, but a restoration of ties that were already strained because of Albania’s hosting of a group that Tehran considers to be
