Al JazeeraIran says the Americans provided deliberate support to a group that is accused of killing 17,000 Iranians over decades. Tehran, Iran – The Iranian government has blacklisted United States officials over their backing of a group that Tehran considers to be a “terrorist” organisation. The Iranian foreign ministry on Saturday published a list of 61 current and former American officials who it said have provided “deliberate support” to the Mojahedin-e Khalq, a group that openly calls for overthrowing the current Iranian establishment. The individuals provided support to the group by participating in its events and “offering political and propaganda support”, the Iranian foreign ministry said. The group has also held rallies and is based across several European nations including France, Sweden and Albania, causing Iranian officials to accuse those counties of harbouring “terrorists”.
