Hysteric comments by various Iranian regime officials and media about removal of the PMOI from the US FTO list show how strongly the fascist regime, during the 15 past years, relied on the illegitimate designation and now it is terrified of losing its prime pretext in committing crime against humanity in Ashraf and Liberty as well as inside Iran’s prisons.
Iran’s foreign ministry said that the delisting of MEK was “a violation of America’s legal and international obligations”, it shows Washington’s “double standards” and it “will bring U.S. responsibility for past, present and future terrorist operations by this group” and added that “While condemning firmly this irresponsible act by the US administration, the Islamic republic declares that by this act, the US administration has sponsored openly and officially terrorist activities and crimes committed by this grouplet against Iran and Iraq and even US citizens.”
At the same time the IRGC announced via Fars news agency that: “delisting the PMOI is not only considered morally a disgusting act, but it can be a strategic and political mistake.”
Mullahs’ hallucinations only show their fear from the PMOI that the pretend has no grassroots in Iran.
The leaders of a regime that has executed at least 120,000 political prisoners, has the highest record of executions in the world today, has turned the Middle East and the Islamic world to a safe haven for export of its terrorism and fundamentalism, and has brought deaths and destruction to many of the region’s countries in particular Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. No doubt the leaders of this regime must be tried in international courts for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
Recently Ahmadinejad, regime’s president, in his travel to New York said that “Removing this group from the FTO list as well as other accusations that the US authorities put forward against Iran for supporting terrorism is a clear evidence of double standards of the US administration. Members of this group have killed more than 16000 Iranian citizens and some of extremely popular Islamic republic’s officials.”
Sadegh Larijani, the criminal torturer in charge of the “Judiciary” responsible for execution, torture and mass murder of scores of political prisoners in Iran said the US constitution is a “barbaric law” and called the decision to delist the PMOI indicative of the fact “that the West has transformed combating terrorism to a tool to pressure independent countries.” He said Iranian regime “will never forget the crimes of the MKO and its supporters” and called for members of PMOI to “be extradited to Iran to receive punishment”.
Velayati, senior advisor of Khamenei said: “the decision of Washington about delisting the PMOI from the FTO list shows failure of all US policies vis-a-vis Iran… this decision will not change the policy of our country about Washington”.
Ramin Mehmanparast, the spokesman of regime’s foreign ministry said removing the label means that the US violated “its international commitments” and undermined “global efforts to combat terrorism”, and the US must be held responsible for “the blood of thousands of Iranian and Iraqi citizens” who the regime claims have been killed by the MEK and regime’s spokesman in the UN said “this is another mistaken act by the US government.”
The designation which was done upon Tehran’s request in the first place was an obstacle to change in Iran and encouraged the mullahs’ regime to intensify internal repression, export of terrorism and fundamentalism, and accelerating attempts to acquire nuclear weapons capability. It was also a permission to massacre and impose inhumane pressures on the residents of Camp Ashraf in Iraq.
