BTW - you referenced/linked to a blog by Heshmat Alavi...he works for MEK.
“Heshmat Alavi...he works for MEK”
It sure looks to me like MEK is getting some support to (help) overthrow the Mullahs.
My betting is that the USA, Saudi Arabia and Israel are coordinating on a joint regime change strategy to take out the mullahs, and covert activity by intelligence services would be part of that. MEK could be a mechanism for those kinds of operations.
