It is not a secret to anyone that MEK receives funding from US think tanks and has the backing of Israel. They will do what MEK is good at; causing chaos and death for Iranians and pursuing a war with Iran. You are not doing the Israelis or Americans a favor.

They believe the Iranian regime has run its course and is short of breath while MEK is fresh out of the academy and willing to stretch its muscles. Whoever stands up against MEK will receive the same reward as their own outcast members; a bullet to the brain.
