Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani said on Sunday that hosting the terrorist cult’s recent gathering simultaneous with widespread political and social unrest in France proves the French government's disregard for the demands of its own citizens and its continued political support for terror groups.
“Instead of repeating their past brazen mistakes in supporting the killers of the Iranian people and [instead of] focusing on [finding a] radical solution for their country’s profound problems and crisis, and correcting their biased and racist treatment of French citizens, the French authorities pave the way for the meeting of terrorists who have been recently put to shame in Albania,” the spokesman said.
Kan'ani then warned the French government against the political and legal consequences of its support for and hosting of terrorists and murderers of Iranian citizens and officials.
“Those terrorists, who have betrayed their own country and nation by committing shocking and horrible crimes, will certainly not hesitate to betray their foreign supporters as well. Therefore, those who support terrorists will not only fail to benefit from them, but will be also finally harmed by the [terrorist] moves of these evildoers,” he said.
Kan'ani concluded his remarks by advising the French politicians to pay more attention to the demands of their own people instead of supporting such terrorist groups, which only foment terrorism and chaos in other countries.
The MKO has carried out numerous terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the MKO’s acts of terror.
The European Union, Canada, the United States and Japan had previously listed the MKO as a "terrorist organization."
In 2012, the group was taken off the US list of terrorist organizations. The EU followed suit, removing the group from its list of terrorist organizations.
