What do the Iranian Mujahideen stand for?

What do the Iranian Mujahideen stand for?

An operation by the State Police this June 20 in the mujahedin camp brought attention back to what MEK members represent.

The Iranian Mujahideen, otherwise known as the "Iranian opposition", have been in exile for a long time.

The Iranian People's Mujahideen Organization (MEK) was founded in Iran in 1965 by a group of radical students who combined Marxism and Islam.

The founders are three students: Mohammad Hanifnejad, Said Mohsen and Ali Asghar Badizadegan. Massoud Rajavi became the leader of the movement years later and would remain so until 2003, the year when he lost all traces of him, leaving behind the mystery.

MEK members were among the first to wage armed war against the Shah and the many Americans present at the time in the country. They widely supported the attack on the US embassy in Tehran in 1979 and strongly opposed the decision to release the hostages in 1981.

Between 1980 and 1981, immediately after the revolution, they attracted considerable public support and emerged as opposition to the new theocratic regime.

In 1981 Iran experienced a political season of real terror, marked both by the purges of the fledgling regime and by the targeted attacks and assassinations of Iran by the Mujahideen.

That same year, a MEK attack wipes out the leaders of the Islamic Republic: 70 officers were killed, including then-Iranian President Mohammad-Ali Rajai and Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar.

In 1986, President Mitterrand's France expels Rajavi and the MEK, who then take refuge in Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

From there, the Mujahideen would take part in the Iran-Iraq War (1981-1988) on the side of Saddam Hussein. This will be one of the strongest reasons for the Iranian population's loss of sympathy for the group.

They helped the Iraqi regime identify Iranian targets to strike and also by organizing actual attacks across the border.

The MEK remained in Iraq as guests of Saddam, who provided them with money, weapons and military equipment until 2003.

Vit ky që përkon me rënien e regjimit, pas vendimit të SHBA-ve në vitin 2003 për ndërhyrjen ushtarake në Irak, siguria e tyre u vendos në pikëpyetje.

Në vitin 2013 me një ndërmjetësim të amerikanëve dhe OKB-së u vendos që ata të zhvendoseshin në një vend tjetër, që ishte Shqipëria.

Historia nis me Qeverisjen e Sali Berishës si kryeministër.

Ai, në vitin e fundit të mandatit të tij ra dakord me Sekretaren e Jashtme të SHBA-ve në vitin 2013, Hillary Clinton, që nga Iraku të mbërrinin në Tiranë 270 muxhahedinë.

Këta të fundit morën të gjithë dokumentacionin e nevojshëm dhe u trajtuan me statusin e azilantit politik.

Vendimi i Berishës u pasua edhe nga ai i kryeministrit të radhës Edi Rama.

Ai ra dakord me autoritetet amerikane që në Shqipëri të strehoheshin një numër rreth 3 mijë muxhahedinësh iranianë.

With the arrival of this second contingent of the Iranian opposition, the "Ashraf 3" camp was also established in the Manza area, on the outskirts of Tirana.

At the time, Rama considered the decision humanitarian and not political, the American authorities expressed gratitude for his decision.

According to a "New York Times" article, the Albanian Government hoped that their hospitality would be in favor of Washington.

This was also confirmed by the Foreign Minister of the years 2013-19, Ditmir Bushati. The choice of Manza as the place to build the camp was made after the National Land Regulation Council saw it as the most suitable location.

MEK, after receiving the permit, decided to buy the land located about 30 kilometers from Tirana and build its town there.
