Did The U.S. Have Contact with Terror Group That Attacked Iran?


Newsweek:
After Abdolmalek Rigi—the suspected leader of the anti-Iranian jihadist group Jundullah—was arrested by Iranian authorities last week, he made a startling public claim: the Obama administration offered to give his group money and munitions to help in their efforts to undermine the government of Iran. Obama administration officials say Rigi is making up stories. They insist the United States has never had a relationship with Jundullah, a little-known group of Sunni jihadists based along Pakistan's border with Iran.

The Money that was put aside by the Bush administration to destabilize Iran was approved and additional supports were added, which is not a secret. So, to say that we don't and didn't support other terrorist organizations such this one and the MKO is like closing our eyes and turning our head or sticking our head in the sand. The head of the MKO freely comes to US and discusses strategy with our senior officials and Senators to destabilize Iran. She was in Washington DC a few month back! We still recognize this group as a Terrorist organization and there is talk that we will remove them from the list of terrorist groups. The EU did that already and MKO has offices in Paris and London. So lets not pretend that we are such a moral nation. The Zionists rogue nation just assassinated another Palestinian abroad and before that the UN put out the "Goldstone" report. Did we do anything or say anything about that? NO. We don't care any more if the American laws are broken, we are implicated in these murders and we know it. So wake up and smell the coffee.

We Iranians are always AMAZED at how gullible and naive westerners can be where this regime is concerned. It's sad and at the same time laughable that westerners in their self-loathing (have NO CLUE as to just who these characters who make up the regime in Iran are) are willing to believe any old garbage that tyrants in Iran say and that they will stop at NOTHING to get their way. Yes westerners, there are people who are WAY worse than even your politicians. Stop making it about yourselves all the time and start realizing that it's the people of Iran who keep giving you facts, figures and documents are the ones in the right. That regime FORCES confessions out of their prisoners and if you haven't figured that out yet, then I suggest you LISTEN rather than talk so much!

I have no doubt Rigi was supported by the USA. Anyone with half a brain knows this.
