They resorted to the most insulting remarks against Amb. Haley and senior U.S. officials, further proving how a retweet has touched a soft spot for this out of control regime.<\/p>\n<p>The People&#8217;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) in its official English Twitter account posted an excerpt of Ambassador Haley\u2019s speech highlighting the Iranian regime\u2019s human rights violations and referring to the Iranian people\u2019s uprising, and calling for firm action by the international community against the mullahs. The Ambassador retweeted this tweet three days later provoking the haywire reaction by the mullahs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley emphasizes how <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>&#39;s &quot;horrendous&quot; regime faced massive protests in the Dec\/Jan period.

These posts also express their unhappiness over the foiling of an Iran-sponsored plot to target the opposition PMOI\/MEK rally in Paris, also resulting in the arrests of the regime&#8217;s Vienna-based diplomat in Germany and several operatives in France and Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tnews.ir\/news\/2e53115507297.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">text<\/a>\u00a0prepared by the regime\u2019s Intelligence Ministry, has been fully or partly posted by a variety of outlets and contains the following in different wording:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">1) Ambassador Haley\u2019s retweet shows close relations between the US foreign policy team and the PMOI\/MEK<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">2) This \u201cgroup-let\u201d was considered a terrorist until 2012 and the US supports this entity despite claiming to fight terrorism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">3) This \u201cgroup-let\u201d pays large sums of money to bring politicians to their sessions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">4) Previous US administrations refused to establish overt relations with this organization. The Trump administration, however, has violated this law and is vividly supporting this \u201cterrorist group-let.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is a known fact that the appeasement policy resulted in the Clinton administration blacklisting the PMOI\/MEK during Mohammad Khatami\u2019s tenure in Iran. From 1997 to 2012, the mullahs\u2019 regime continued to spread lies about the PMOI\/MEK and was able to justify allegations with the terrorist designation.<\/p>\n<p>Tehran\u2019s mullahs were able to take advantage of the West\u2019s appeasement policy to blacklist the very entity posing a real threat and alternative to its rule. The PMOI\/MEK have proven in numerous courts in Europe and the United States that the blacklisting and terrorist labeling were based on complete lies.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Iranian regime itself is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/11194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">true source of terrorism and threats<\/a> in the U.S. and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>As the PMOI\/MEK gained the trust and support of hundreds of international figures, the Iranian regime began claiming these individuals were paid large sums of money. If such a practice was possible, why can\u2019t Iran\u2019s regime \u2013 while already spending billions for terrorism across the region \u2013 purchase the support of similar political faces too, for example, to call on the U.S. administration to refrain from sanctioning its regime?<\/p>\n<p>The methods and tactics of Iran\u2019s regime are now known for all.\u00a0Very interesting is how a retweet by an individual such as Amb. Haley results in such mayhem in the mullahs\u2019 ruling apparatus, knowing that this would further signal and legitimize the very alternative to its rule, being the PMOI\/MEK.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A retweet by the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, has made Iranian regime to go so mad such that a large number of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/2018\/07\/27\/a-retweet-by-us-ambassador-nikki-haley-makes-irans-regime-go-haywire\/\" title=\"A Retweet By US Ambassador Nikki Haley Makes Iran\u2019s Regime Go Haywire\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":11227,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[35,34],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11226"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11226"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11231,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11226\/revisions\/11231"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
