Former US congressman Ron Paul has criticized the government over repetition of previous mistakes it has made on the Islamic Republic of Iran since 1953 coup rejecting the terrorist group Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) as a viable force.
“The group is trying to change the regime in Iran, that means that Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United States are working on it,” Paul said on his Liberty Report show on Friday, emphasizing that the terrorist group enjoyed backing by foreign governments.
Paul said every once in a while MKO members try to infiltrate his website and reminded viewers of the MKO's collaboration with the Baathist regime of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
He later recalled the downing of Iran’s civilian aircraft by a US Navy guided-missile cruiser over the Persian Gulf in 1988 and said Iranian citizens will not easily forget such incidents.
The MKO had been on the US terrorism list for more than 15 years until Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decided to remove them from the list in 2012.
