One option sure to get the attention of the ruling mullahs in Tehran \u2014 and that could help set the stage for a future democratic transition there \u2014 is to unleash Iran\u2019s main opposition group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MeK), which remains constrained by an ill-advised U.S. policy.<\/p>\n<p>The MeK was put on the U.S. list of \u201cForeign Terrorist Organizations\u201d during the Clinton administration as a well-intentioned but naive attempt to gain the confidence of Iran\u2019s new and, it was hoped, reform-minded President Khatami. However, Iran continued to be the world\u2019s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism and continued to develop its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>The Bush administration followed suit, fearful that the delisting of the MEK would prompt Tehran to send IEDs to murder U.S. soldiers. That decision was also ill-advised, as the Iranian regime not only sent the deadly explosives to Iraq, but has continued to train, arm and finance an assortment of terrorist groups, which have been responsible for hundreds of U.S. service members being killed or wounded.<\/p>\n<p>Today, 3,400 members of the MeK sit in Camp Ashraf, attacked and massacred as recently as this April by Iran\u2019s proxies in the Iraqi military, useless to America\u2019s larger strategic objective to contain and neutralize Iran\u2019s radicalism.<\/p>\n<p>A large number of prominent former national security officials agree that not only is the MeK not a security threat to the U.S. (the group has dedicated itself to secular, democratic governance in Iran), it has already proven an able and willing partner to the U.S. by providing critical intelligence on Iran\u2019s nuclear program, and the regime\u2019s role in attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the hold up?<\/p>\n<p>While the Federal Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. ruled in July 2010 that the U.S. government had erred in not delisting the MeK and remanded the case to the State Department for a thorough review, the department has yet to announce its decision.<\/p>\n<p>A well-organized lobbying effort, again by proxies of Iran operating freely in the U.S., has mischaracterized the MeK as a cult with terrorist intentions. But this runs counter to all of the experience by the top brass of the U.S. military as well as intelligence officials who have worked closely with and studied the MeK over the years. It also flies in the face of eight different court rulings in the United Kingdom, the European Union and France, which have resulted in the group\u2019s delisting in those countries.<\/p>\n<p>The still-unraveling plot against the Saudi ambassador demonstrates the skill and reach of the Iranian regime in attempting to threaten and destabilize the U.S and our allies. It is somewhat ironic that while Tehran\u2019s agents are running loose in this country, hatching terrorist bombings and assassinations of foreign diplomats, our government has shackled the main opposition, which the mullahs fear the most.<\/p>\n<p>It is time to revisit this policy. While the administration, obviously caught off guard, is scrambling to find the proper response, delisting the MeK is the strongest signal the U.S. can send to the mullahs of Tehran. The timing could not be better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gen. Hugh Shelton is the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
