London, 29 Nov – On November 28, in an article for Politico Magazine, Robert G. Torricelli, former U. S. Senator from New Jersey, and a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, wrote about the Iranian Resistance Group, Mujahidin e-Khalq (MEK).  His article was written  in response to an article published in Politico last week, criticizing the MEK and the U.S. politicians who support them, particularly former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

London, 29 Nov – Various groups of Iranian-American communities have joined together to issue a statement against the Iranian Regime’s lobbyists who have attempted to smear the democratic Resistance forces.

The letter, penned by leaders from the Northern California, South Texas and Missouri, branches of the Iranian-American Community, decried the Regime’s attempt to paint the Resistance as terrorists and murderers when the Regime is the leading state-sponsor of terrorism and the world leader in executions per capita.

London, 29 Nov – A political scientist has written an op-ed for The Huffington Post decrying the attempts by a former State Department Official to smear the Iranian Resistance with allegations of terror and the murder of Americans.

Dr. Majid Rafizadeh, president of the International American Council on the Middle East, heavily criticised the op-ed by Daniel Benjamin, a former Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the State Department and advised the American Public to look at the facts, the law and the politics behind this scathing attack.

London, 29 Nov – Breitbart has accused Politico of left-wing bias following a publication last week which accused former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani of taking money from the Iranian opposition group, People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI-MEK).

The Iranian Resistance forces vehemently oppose terrorism, which is one of the many reasons they work against the Iranian Regime in spite of the danger it puts them in. For Benjamin to state otherwise is frankly an insult to those who have died as a result of the Iranian Regime’s terrorism.

London, 24 Nov – A leading organisation for Iranian Americans has issued a statement critisicizing the US Ambassador and former Coordinator for Counterterrorism over his pro-Iranian Regime comments. 

Daniel Benjamin attacked the Iranian opposition movement known as the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK/PMOI), despite being in the State Department when the MEK was taken off the terrorist list, where they never belonged in the first place.
