"It is a danger for Albania", journalist: If we have a war with Iran,

Journalist Floriar Arapi, invited to the "Off the Record" studio by Andrea Danglli, on A2CNN, stated that the mujahedeen who have taken refuge in the country, if tomorrow we have a war with United States troops against Iran, if it reaches this point, they will certainly be the first on the front lines of this war.

"First of all, we must say that the world is entering a spiral of violence. A spiral that is currently regional. However, all possibilities are that it will expand and include many other countries, as the first phase included 7-8 Gulf countries. This is an escalation that to some extent all of us expected because it has been discussed for almost a month. Moreover, there were troops that were going to be deployed. Now, let's go back a little to our danger. We, since we are close allies with the United States, have undertaken to take some actions, perhaps even excessive, in relation to the Mujahideen, the Iranian opposition forces. These are a force that has fought since the 1980s in the Iran-Iraq war. They are Iranians and they fought alongside Iraq in this war. And then, after Iraq lost the war and withdrew, they lived in Iraq and were allies, let's say, with Saddam. They are constantly military, "They have committed terrorist acts that until we took them here in Albania were internationally accepted as terrorist acts. Then, they were removed from the list of terrorist organizations and the United States asked us to keep them. That's it. They have been among the most organized military forces. So, if tomorrow we assume that we will have a war with United States troops against Iran, if it reaches this point, for sure they will be the first on the front line of this war. So, they will go there", said Arapi.

"Since it is like this, this poses a risk for us. We have undertaken to do a little more than necessary because none of the allied countries of the United States have done this. If this were to be shared, in my opinion I would very much agree. If we had a number of 100 or 200, as they came at the beginning, it might be right, but 4,000 is a lot. It is a real army," the journalist added.
