Clerical regime’s new conspiracy against the People’s Mojahedin in Iraq

February 07, 2007

NCRI - In retaliation for revelation of list of 32,000 Iraqi agents on the Iranian regime's payroll, Supreme Leader Khamenei summoned Abdul-Aziz Al-Hakim and instructed him to carry out the plan in the Iraqi Parliament to expel the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) from Iraq.

Angry and fearful over the Iranian Resistance's revelation of the list of 32,000 Iraqi agents of the mullahs’ regime, the clerical regime's leaders have ordered their agents in Iraq to table an emergency bill in the Iraqi Parliament to expel the PMOI.

According to the information from within the clerical regime, in his recent meeting with Abdul-Aziz Al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), Ali Khamenei ordered him to collect signatures from members of Shiite coalition affiliated with the Iranian regime in the Parliament to introduce a bill prior to the start of the Parliament’s winter holidays next week.

Assisted by the mullahs’ embassy in Baghdad, members the Islamic Revolution’s Guards Corps' (IRGC) Qods Force are in charge of implementing and pursuing this plot against the PMOI to secure sufficient votes in the Parliament to give the PMOI expulsion from Iraq an aura of legality.

The Iranian regime's assessment is that the new political development and the implementation of security plan for Baghdad would make it more difficult to expel the PMOI and that if this opportunity was lost, it might be lost forever.

During the visits to Iran by Abdul-Aziz Al-Hakim and his deputy Adel-Abdul Mehdi, the leaders of the clerical regime demanded repeatedly and forcefully that action against the PMOI be expedited.

In reference to the regime’s demands for the expulsion of the PMOI, on February 1, 2007, the state-controlled daily, Javan, affiliated with the IRGC, quoted Abdul-Mehdi, who had visited Iran earlier, as saying, “Iranian officials told us that the Iraqi government should resolve this problem.”

The regime’s leaders ordered Al-Hakim and his deputy to do the following:
- Al-Maliki government should insist and exert pressure on US officials for expulsion of the PMOI as an irreversible demand
- In his negotiations with the Americans, Al-Maliki should pretend as though the presence of the PMOI is an obstacle to the implementation of the security plan in Baghdad. He must insist that as long as the status of the PMOI in Iraq is not settled, he would not carry out Baghdad’s security plan.

To this effect, Baha Al-Arji, one of the Iranian regime’s notorious agents, told the Al-Arabiya satellite television network that similar to Baghdad's security plan, which the Iraqi government is trying to wrest its control from the Americans, officials must exert pressure on the Americans to settle the case of the PMOI.

His explicit remarks make it clear that the expulsion of the PMOI from Iraq and exerting pressure on Americans toward that end has been dictated by the clerical regime in order to remove the obstacles to its domination of Iraq.

Last week, the principal patriotic and democratic Iraqi forces and currents, including the Accord Front, the Front for Dialogue, and the Council for National Dialogue as well as tribal leaders and Iraqi jurists voiced protest over the regime’s new campaign against the PMOI and condemned it as a new phase in the mullahs' meddling in Iraqi affairs.

It is worthy of note that several members of the Iraqi Parliament are representatives of the list of the Shiite Coalition affiliated with the Iranian regime. They are among IRGC officers and commanders, whose names and particulars, their code numbers and salaries were revealed in the list of 32,000 Iraqi agents of the Iranian regime.

A month earlier, the Iranian Resistance exposed a mullahs' terrorist network in Iraq, whose commander is an agent of the Iranian regime, named Abu-Mohandes. He is a deputy in the Iraqi Parliament from the list of the Shiite Coalition affiliated to the mullahs' regime.

The Iranian Resistance recalls international conventions and international laws according to which members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran in Iraq enjoy legal presence and status. It also warns of the clerical regime's new conspiracy and expansionist plans. It urges international and human rights organizations to protest against the new ploy by the Iranian regime which could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe and criminal actions against protected persons and violate their rights.
