The Washington Times said<\/a> the move carries special symbolism as Iran\u2019s regime in Tehran faces growing problems at home and abroad, as the economy falters, tensions rise with the U.S., and European nations struggling to deliver on promises of trade and investment in the face of harsh new sanctions from the Trump administration.<\/p>\nWork began on the Ashraf-3 complex in 2016, after the dissident group Mujahedin-e Khalq, best known as MEK \u2013 the group casts itself as Iran\u2019s main opposition force and the leading voice for a new democratic government in Tehran \u2013 was ousted from its previous two homes, first from Camp Ashraf in Iraq and then from Iraq\u2019s Camp Liberty, which residents referred to as Ashraf-2, The Washington Times wrote.<\/p>\n
Work is ongoing, but Ashraf-3 already resembles a small, heavily guarded city \u2014 home to more than 3,000 supporters complete with parks, conference halls, restaurants, and swimming pools, the report said.<\/p>\n
The article added:<\/p>\n
Among the Americans set to be on hand for Saturday\u2019s event here: Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a legal adviser to Mr. Trump; Rep. Lance Gooden, Texas Republican; former vice presidential candidate and Sen. Joe Lieberman; former New Mexico Gov. and U.S. energy secretary Bill Richardson; and retired senior Gens. James Conway, George Casey and David Phillips.<\/p>\n
Other leading figures on the guest list include former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, former French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, and Sid Ahmed Ghozali, a former prime minister of Algeria.<\/p>\n
MEK has hosted similar events in the past \u2014 from 2004 to 2018 the events took place in Paris \u2014 but organizers say this year\u2019s gathering is particularly significant because it is the first time the event will take place in MEK\u2019s own facilities. Ashraf-3 is expected to host the annual gatherings of supporters going forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very important that so many dignitaries from both sides of the Atlantic and from around the Middle East and other parts of the world will come to show support for the work MEK is doing,\u201d said Ali Safavi, a member of NCRI\u2019s Foreign Affairs Committee and president of Near-East Policy Research, a policy consultancy. \u201cWe want to show our strength as the world loses patience with the current regime in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Washington Times added: MEK was founded more than 50 years ago when several student groups united to oppose the Iranian shah.<\/p>\n
In a television interview from Albania Thursday, Mr. Giuliani called the new facility in Albania \u201cthe new epicenter of Iranian resistance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s meeting comes amid dramatically heightened tensions between Iran and the West. Last month, Iranian regime forces shot down an American surveillance drone, and President Trump approved a retaliatory strike against Iran before pulling back at the last moment.<\/p>\n
This week, the United Kingdom claimed Iranian naval vessels tried to block a British tanker passing near Iranian waters in the Strait of Hormuz in apparent response to British Royal marines\u2019 seizure a different tanker suspected of carrying Iranian oil to Syria in defiance of sanctions against that country. The Iranian regime’s ships in the Strait of Hormuz only backed away after a Royal Navy warship approached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
