Iran: Britain hosts anti-Iran groups

Britain is giving host to both terror groups who perpetrate terrorist activities inside and/or conduct soft war against the Islamic Republic, Intelligence minister says.

In an exclusive interview with Press TV, Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi questioned the UK government’s move in which the British lawmakers removed the renowned anti-Iran terrorist group Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) from its blacklist.

The minister said the MKO terrorists had received the required green light from the UK spying apparatus to carry out an explosion in Tehran Enghelab square on June 12 this year.

“We have ample evidence and concrete documents at our disposal confirming that Britain is hosting all those terrorist groups who conduct terrorist activities inside Iran or those who are carrying out the so-called soft war against the Islamic Republic”, the Intelligence minister said.

Iran’s security forces arrested four Britain-linked terrorists in the western city of Marivan last week.

The captured terrorists confessed to assassinating five people in the past two years at the order of their ringleader who leaves in the UK.

They conceded that they received orders and weapons from their chief in the Iraqi city of Soleimaniyeh. The terror group’s ringleader is named Jalil Fattahi, who is currently residing in Britain.

Fattahi is one of the remaining commanders of the Komale terrorist group, which has carried out several assassinations in western Iranian cities since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Kurdestan Komale Party was created in 1979 after the collapse of the monarchy system that ruled Iran for thousands of years.

After the Islamic Revolution, the party took arm against the Islamic Republic system and its members resorted to terror attacks thanks to financial support they received from the then Iraqi regime under the Ba’ath Party.

The Komale Party of Kurdestan was forcibly isolated and its senior members escaped the country after Iraqi regime of Saddam conceded defeat in the 8-year war it imposed on the Islamic Republic from 1981-1988.

The members of Komale Party as well as other anti-Iran parties including communists and the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) left for the US and Europe, particularly the United Kingdom where they received certain official support.

Moslehi, Iran’s Intelligence Minister told Press TV that his forces are pursuing through legal bodies as well as their prime intelligence work to bring to justice the perpetrator of the terrorist activities who is living in the UK and is receiving all-out support from the British government.
