TEHRAN - Iran warned of tough action against
the bases and offices of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known
as the MEK, PMOI and NCR) terrorist group near the Iranian borders in
case of further inaction by Iraq's Kurdish Regional Government.
"They
(the Saudis) have activated Komola and Democrat (terrorist groups) in
Erbil and built a garrison and two offices near the Iranian borders and
if they continue and the government of Mr. Barzani doesn’t take any
action against them, we will launch destructive operations against them
soon and Mr. Barzani, himself, should account for it," Secretary of
Iran's Expediency Council (EC) Mohsen Rezayee said in an interview with
the state-run TV on Saturday night.
Warning that Saudi Arabia has started a second
wave of hostilities against Iran after its support for the terrorists in
Syria and Iraq and the war in Yemen, the former commander of the
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said, "They have also set up some bases
in a region in Pakistan and they seek to foment insecurity in different
parts of Iran but their plots have been foiled with the efforts made by
the IRGC and the large number of arrests (of affiliates to the terrorist
groups) by the security and intelligence forces."
His remarks came after Paris hosted MKO's annual meeting which was attended by former Saudi security chief Turki al-Faisal.
After the meeting, Iranian Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted al-Faisal for participating in the MKO
annual gathering, saying he is going the same path that former Iraqi
dictator Saddam Hussein did.
Speaking to reporters upon arrival in Kazakhstan
for a ministerial meeting of the Caspian Sea littoral states earlier
this month, Zarif lambasted France for hosting the MKO terrorists'
annual gathering.
He said every year, a number of infamous political
figures from different countries participate in the gathering giving a
speech.
"These people have visible records. People like
Bolton and Gingrich have been attending such meetings and supporting the
terrorists for years, and it is not a new event and they have always
been pursuing the same policy," Zarif said.
"Unfortunately, the presence of a person who is
the manufacturer of both the al-Qaeda and the Taliban and has played a
highly disgraceful role in the Saudi regime's past actions in the region
(Turki al-Faisal) has drawn so much attention from the media which
shows his lack of competence and wisdom as he has tied his future to the
terrorists like what Saddam Hussein did," he added. Far News
