Statement of Mujahideen-e-Khalq
MEK said, ‘There were clashes with Iranian government forces from Monday morning till noon, in which more than 100 of our Mujahids were martyred or some of them were detained. These clashes started in Khamenei’s office at the time of morning prayers. Al-Akhbar’s report claimed that the MEK was trying to infiltrate the Motahhari complex. However, he was already foiled.
According to the report of Tasnim News, MEK has not paid attention to the fact that US President Trump is trying to take advantage of other countries. Khamenei’s government considers Mujahideen-e-Khalq as a terrorist organization.
