On February 28, Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran’s monarch dictator, the Shah, ranted against the country\u2019s main opposition group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq<\/a> (MEK\/PMOI), where he regurgitated the Iranian regime’s talking points about the organization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Reza Pahlavi<\/a>, who tried to market the deposed monarchy in his so-called European tour, attended a self-promoting session in the Belgium parliament. While trying to present himself as the forefront of a \u201cdemocratic alternative\u201d to the Iranian regime and despite his deafening cries of \u201cunity,\u201d Shah\u2019s offspring used his opportunity to slander the most long-standing opposition to the ruling theocracy by rehashing the mullahs\u2019 allegations against the MEK.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Reza Pahlavi listed several accusations against the MEK, matching those already published or said by Iran\u2019s state media and officials.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One of the most abhorrent lies and allegations Pahlavi regurgitated was accusing the MEK of participation in Iraq, Halabja chemical bombing. Shah\u2019s offspring, who has acknowledged on several occasions that he is in \u201cbilateral\u201d contact with the IRGC terrorists, once again complained about the MEK\u2019s fight with this force and accused the organization of killing \u201cour troops.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cInside Iran, the MEK is very ill-perceived because of its terroristic past. The fact that they fought the war against our troops during the Iran-Iraq war and the fact that they did participate in the chemical bombing of Halabcheh against the Kurds and many other aspects that is tied to their history,\u201d <\/span>Pahlavi claimed.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe chemical bombing of Halabja was a part of the joint crime between Rajavi and Saddam. This was part of an \u201cAnfal\u201d operation, during which more than 3,000 villages were destroyed. The Iraqi Baath army killed more than 182,000 defenseless people with the cooperation of the MEK terrorist grouplet,\u201d wrote the state-run akharinkhabar on March 17, 2015.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On September 27, the French TV channel ARTE aired an exclusive program on Saddam Hussein’s trial. In the program, Emmanuel Ludot, French lawyer of the former Iraqi president, revealed that the Iranian regime’s ambassador in France invited him to the Iranian Embassy, where he suggested that both Iraq and the Iranian regime avoid accusing one another over the chemical bombing of Halabja. Instead, they would both attribute that measure to the MEK. Mr. Ludot shockingly told ARTE that the Iranian point of contact in the embassy went even as far as to offer him $100 million dollars<\/a> for the deal to settle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A 1999 legal document signed by a senior official of a major Iraqi Kurdish group was obtained separately by Reuters. The document, signed by former Iraqi<\/a> Minister of Foreign Affairs Hoshyar Zibari, stated that there was no proof of Mujahideen’s (MEK) involvement in the Iraqi government’s 1991 campaign against the Kurds. The Iraqi Kurds have regular communication with the Iranian government. The document explicitly stated that the Mujahedin had no role in suppressing the Kurdish people during the uprising or afterward. Additionally, there was no indication of any hostility exercised by the Mujahedin towards the people of Iraqi Kurdistan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This 1999 letter by Hoshyar Zebari, Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq's foreign policy spox, later Iraqi FM, is a definitive affirmation that #Iran<\/a> regime's allegation of MEK involvement in the suppression of Iraqi Kurds 32 years ago was patently false. #No2ShahNo2Mullahs<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/SmqMJ8Vvkf<\/a><\/p>\n — Ali Safavi (@amsafavi) March 7, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
