Dozens more, according to intelligence officials, were detained in East Azerbaijan province. Tehran has also waged a sophisticated propaganda campaign labeling the group as a \u201ccult,\u201d but with no support in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The 1997 blacklisting of the MEK as a terrorist group was \u201ca goodwill gesture\u201d to the Iranian regime\u2019s new president, Mohammad Khatami, according to senior U.S. administration officials at the time. And to set the record straight, the MEK was not in any way involved in the killing of U.S. military officers in Iran nearly half a century ago.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, how does the article reconcile its observation of \u201can uptick in attacks against the group by Iran\u201d with an earlier assertion about lack of \u201cpopular support or influence?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Shahin Gobadi, Paris<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The writer is press spokesman for the MEK.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A press spokesperson for the People&rsquo;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), otherwise known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), has responded to an article in the Los Angeles Time titled: &ldquo;This [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":53678,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[178],"class_list":{"0":"post-26543","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-resistance","8":"tag-save"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
