NCRI – The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) has said that, “The Iranian regime’s claims about planning of assassinations of Moussavi and Karoubi [by the PMOI] are ridiculous,” the al-Arabiya TV reported on Monday. <\/p>\n
The TV channel added, “The latest development in Iran is Ali Khamenei’s repeated accusations against foreign countries, who he claims, are behind the current crisis in the country.”<\/p>\n
“The Jahan website, close to the government, quoted a security source as saying that four teams from the PMOI have entered Iran to assassinate [Mir Hossein] Moussavi and Mehdi Karoubi, a claim that the PMOI has rejected as propaganda and a ridiculous accusation.”<\/p>\n
Adnan Salman, an expert on Iranian affairs from London, told al-Arabiya, “The Iranian regime and its security apparatus have developed this conspiracy theory and had already repeated such stories immediately before the election, saying that they also wanted to explode [Mohammad] Khatami’s plane. What is happening in Iran represents a real crisis in the apparent context of an election. However, this is a crisis gripping the entire dictatorship and tyrannical system in Iran led by the Supreme Leader. Khamenei has also focused on foreign plots.”<\/p>\n
The expert added, “I am not taking a position in defense of the PMOI. But, it looks very improbable that the PMOI wants to do such a thing. The Iranian Intelligence Minister has not come to the scene and explained to the people and confessions have not been broadcast. Currently this is merely an accusation against the PMOI.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
