Amid rising tensions, claims are circulating that Iran may be considering an attack on the headquarters of the so-called "Munafeqin," a term that Iranian authorities use for the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran (MEK), located in Camp Ashraf-3 in our country.
The press service of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Telegram that the possible actions are related to a structure that Tehran considers involved in "hostile activities."
Some sources, referring to recent Iranian attacks on targets in Cyprus, claim that Iran is no longer limiting its activity to a specific geography when targeting centers affiliated with its adversaries. It is expanding globally, extending its operational capabilities beyond the Middle East region . (ARTICLE)
What is the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran?
In the village of Manzë, near Tirana, there is a fortified compound where around 3,000 MEK members live, marking a new chapter in the six-decade history of this contested group.
The opposition movement settled in Albania in 2013, at the request of the United States and the United Nations, to shelter members who were previously in Iraq. The MEK was founded in 1965 as an Islamist political movement with socialist tendencies against the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. During the 1970s, the organization carried out attacks against the monarchy and American interests in Iran, then supported Ruhollah Khomeini's Islamic Revolution, but relations with the clerical leadership quickly deteriorated.
In the 1980s, the MEK moved to Iraq and conducted military operations against Iran during the Iran-Iraq War. The United States designated the group as a terrorist organization in 1997, but removed it from the list in 2012, citing its surrender through violence.
The MEK returned to international attention in 2002, when it discovered a hidden uranium enrichment facility in Iran, prompting greater global scrutiny of Tehran's nuclear program. After the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, the group gradually moved to Albania, where they remain today.
