TEHRAN (Iran News) – The French government has decided to no longer allow the presence of the MKO terrorist group on French soil, according to a report.

As the French President Emmanuel Macron’s chief of staff, Alexis Kohler, announced on his Twitter account, the decision was made in an October 29th meeting between President Emmanuel Macron and French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, according to Odyssey Online.

The French official who is one of the most influential members of the Elysee palace, referred to the 40-year presence of the MKO in France, and cited the permanent deployment of its leadership in Albania, the unnecessity to travel to France and negative consequences of its activities on French soil as the main reasons for the decision.

The US-backed MKO terrorist group has carried out several terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks since the victory of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, about 12,000 have fallen victim to MKO’s acts of terror, led by Maryam Rajavi.

Once neutralized in the country, the group was forced to seek refuge in Iraq. The members were expelled from Iraq in 2016, and have been organizing conferences every year in Paris, with certain American, Western, and Saudi officials as the guests of honor.

]]> Head of the Intelligence Ministry’s office in East Azarbaijan province said the intelligence forces have arrested a number of spies and infiltrators in the provincial organizations.

He also noted that the MKO terrorist group intensified its efforts in the previous year to take advantage of the economic woes in Iran, adding that 60 elements affiliated with the MKO’s leading members have been arrested.

The detainees had plans to acquire arms and carry out terrorist operations, he added.

The MKO or MEK – listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community – fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq and was given a camp by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

They fought on the side of Saddam during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-88). They were also involved in the bloody repression of Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq in 1991 and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

The notorious group is also responsible for killing thousands of Iranian civilians and officials after the victory of the Islamic revolution in 1979.

More than 17,000 Iranians, many of them civilians, have been killed at the hands of the MKO in different acts of terrorism including bombings in public places, and targeted killings.
