Stop Legitimizing the Antisemitic Shiite, Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/MKO/NCRI) Group
A Final Warning to Western Politicians:
Stop Legitimizing Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/MKO/NCRI). Stop Speaking Over Iranians.
Iranians are united on one point: the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/MKO/NCRI) does not represent them. It never has. Inside Iran, across generations and political views, the group is widely rejected and remembered for violence, collaboration with foreign enemies, and cult control.
Yet Western politicians continue to legitimize this organization—through speeches, endorsements, and paid appearances—while claiming to support democracy, human rights, or Israel’s security.
This is not a misunderstanding. It is a choice.
And it has names.
The Politicians Who Enabled the MEK
Rudy Giuliani.
John Bolton.
Mike Pompeo.
Mike Pence.
Newt Gingrich.
Elaine Chao.
Tom Ridge.
Howard Dean.
Bill Richardson.
These figures did not simply attend events. They stood on MEK stages, praised its leadership, promoted it as an alternative for Iran, and accepted substantial speaking fees. In doing so, they helped sanitize one of the most despised organizations in modern Iranian history.
This was not ignorance. It was opportunism.
Giuliani: Paid Arrogance
Rudy Giuliani’s role is the clearest example. With no understanding of Iranian society and no legitimacy to speak for it, he repeatedly presented himself as a voice for Iranians. They did not ask for him.
His MEK advocacy has nothing to do with freedom or justice. It is a transaction. Each appearance insults the victims of the Islamic Republic and the victims of the MEK’s own assassinations and bombings.
This is not solidarity. It is interference for profit.
Bolton, Pompeo, Pence: Ideology Over Reality
John Bolton’s public embrace of the MEK exposed a reckless belief that any enemy of Tehran can be repackaged as a democratic alternative. Mike Pompeo and Mike Pence reinforced this illusion by lending credibility to a group Iranians overwhelmingly reject.
Claiming to support Israel while promoting an organization with a record of antisemitism, terrorism, and shifting alliances is not principled policy. It is incoherent and dangerous.
Blood, Betrayal, and Memory
The MEK’s record is undisputed:
assassinations of civilians,
the killing of American and British advisers,
bombings and organized political violence.
During the Iran–Iraq War, while Iranians defended their country under missiles and chemical weapons, the MEK fought alongside Saddam Hussein. It later helped suppress Kurdish and Shiite uprisings in Iraq.
In the eyes of Iranians, this is not opposition. It is treason.
A Cult, Not an Opposition
Despite Western rebranding, the MEK operates as a closed cult. Former members describe forced divorces, bans on family life, psychological control, and absolute obedience to leadership. A group that denies basic human dignity to its own members cannot credibly claim to fight for democracy or women’s rights.
Allowing MEK rallies in Western capitals—especially under the banner of women’s rights—is a moral farce.
The Iranians’ verdict has been clear:
No to the Islamic Republic.
No to the MEK.
No to religious rule.
No to cults dressed up as opposition.
No to foreign politicians speaking over them.
They are not asking the West to choose their leaders. They are demanding that the West stop empowering extremists it does not understand.
The Line Is Drawn:
Iranians are risking their lives in the streets. Thousands have been killed, imprisoned, tortured, or executed. They have rejected the regime—and its false replacements: the MEK, regime reformists, communist factions, and foreign-fed separatist projects.
They are demanding national restoration.
One nation.
One flag.
One Iran.
Any Western official who continues to legitimize the MEK today is not misinformed. They are acting against the clearly stated will of the Iranian people.
This is no longer a debate.
It is a verdict.
