Peloni: Is Trump seriously contemplating a role for the terrorist, Marxists, Islamist MEK to rule over Iran in the days after the Iran War? According to a confidential source, the answer to this poignant question is yes, he is. The source relates that the MEK has been working with the Trump administration for months and are being considered for a role in a Trump designed interim govt.

For decades, the American people have been fed a steady diet of lies regarding “democracy building” in the Middle East. But the most dangerous deception is happening right now, orchestrated by the very man who once held the keys to the CIA and the State Department: Mike Pompeo. This isn’t just about bad policy; it is a calculated betrayal of American security. Mike Pompeo is actively shilling for the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) – a fanatical, cult-like terrorist organization – with the explicit goal of installing them as a puppet regime in Tehran.
To understand the depth of this treachery, you must understand who the MEK really is. This is not a “grassroots resistance.” It is a Marxist-Islamist cult that earned its stripes by murdering Americans. During the 1970s, the MEK conducted a campaign of terror that claimed the lives of several U.S. military officers and civilian contractors in Iran. They didn’t just oppose the Shah; they hated America.
For years, the U.S. State Department correctly identified them as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). They were only removed from this list in 2012 after a multimillion-dollar lobbying blitz that bought off high-ranking officials in Washington. Despite the delisting, their nature has never changed. They remain a centralized cult under the absolute command of Maryam Rajavi, a woman who demands total devotion and has been accused of horrific human rights abuses against her own members.
Since leaving office, Mike Pompeo has become the MEK’s most prominent cheerleader. He doesn’t just attend their events; he offers them the full weight of his former titles to provide a veneer of legitimacy. At a massive MEK-sponsored event, Pompeo hailed the Iranian resistance as the “path to freedom,” effectively endorsing Maryam Rajavi’s “10-point plan” for Iran’s future.
This is thunderous hypocrisy. Pompeo, the “maximum pressure” architect, is now advocating for a group that is loathed by the vast majority of the Iranian people. By standing on their stage, he is signaling to the world that the United States is ready to force a terrorist cult onto 85 million Iranians. This isn’t liberation; it is an occupation in waiting.
Why would a former CIA Director support such a group? The answer is simple and cynical: the MEK is a tool for regime change at any cost. Pompeo and his cohorts don’t care about the liberty of Iranians; they want a proxy that will do Washington’s bidding, even if that proxy is a band of bloodthirsty fanatics. They are repeating the same catastrophic mistakes of the past, like supporting the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, which birthed Al-Qaeda.
The MEK spends millions on propaganda to sanitize its image. They use front groups like the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) to walk the halls of Congress. They pay six-figure speaking fees to men like Pompeo to repeat their talking points. This is a sophisticated influence operation designed to trick the American people into thinking the MEK is the Iranian version of the Founding Fathers.
But the reality is stark. The MEK has zero support inside Iran. Iranians remember that the MEK fought alongside Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War, slaughtering their own countrymen. Supporting the MEK is the fastest way to ensure the Iranian people unite against the United States. Pompeo’s “path to freedom” is actually a roadmap to a bloody, eternal conflict that will cost American lives and trillions of dollars.
By elevating the MEK, Pompeo is actively sabotaging any chance of a stable, peaceful future. He is handing the current Iranian regime a propaganda victory on a silver platter, allowing them to claim that the opposition is nothing more than American-backed terrorists.
Furthermore, the MEK’s presence in Albania, where they operate a massive troll farm to manipulate Western social media, proves they are experts in disinformation. Pompeo is not just a witness to this; he is a participant. He is using his platform to amplify the lies of a cult that seeks to drag America into another Middle Eastern quagmire.
America, wake up. Mike Pompeo is not acting in your interest. He is acting in the interest of a well-funded, dangerous organization that uses terror as its primary currency. We must demand an end to the legitimization of the MEK. We must stop allowing former officials to sell their influence to the highest bidder – especially when that bidder is a group that once hunted Americans in the streets of Tehran.
“The MEK functions exactly like a cult”
ISLAM is a death cult, so this should not be a surprise.
I doubt the truth of Amil Imani’s accusations against MEK and Mike Pompeo.
Who is Imani? What are his credentials and background that supposedly make him an authority on the Iranian people and MEK?
Imani acknowledges that MEK was removed from the US State Department’s list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations in 2012, way before Trump was elected president and chose Mike Pompeo as his Secretary of State. So why does Imani speak of MEK as if it is “a band of bloodthirsty fanatics?”
Imani’s aspersions on Pompeo also leave much room for doubt. Mike Pompeo is an accomplished public servant of undoubted integrity who has spent his entire career serving the American people in a number of high positions in the federal government.
Totally disagree with you Marc! Pompeo is CIA. He has done nothing good for your country! The author is Iranian. Please explain the significance of,”taken off the terrorist list?!” Then I’ll tell you about the leopard!
