Read the article. Rendell is a hero here. He is defying the US government’s support of the pro-radical-terrorist Iranian government, and he is advocating for Iraqis who fought against Iran and are now left defenseless thanks to Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq.
The EU lifted the terrorist designation from this group 3 years ago, but because the US maintains it they are not able to get sanctuary elsewhere and so are at high risk of being tortured and murdered.
The US government is shutting down dissent and trying to intimidate Rendell by attacking him for his support of these people.
YUP!
You seem very confused.
MEK is an Iranian cult, not Iraqi. They’ve been living in exile in Iraq, because they helped Saddam kill their own people. They are despised by Iranians, as they are seen as traitors, so don’t believe the propaganda that they have lots of support in Iran...They Do Not.
I suggest you read up on them...here are a few links to some excellent articles...
