Iranian Americans in Texas condemn faulty report by NBC News against MEK
Houston, TX- October 23, 2019 – We, the Iranian Americans in Texas strongly condemn faulty and bias report by NBC News in an article published about the Iranian opposition on October 17, 2019.
The article instead of addressing terror activities by the Iranian despots against us, attending the Free Iran Rally in Paris, it disseminate Iran’ despots talking points against the main Iranian opposition, the Mujahedin Khaleq (MEK). The article is filled with baseless allegations repeated by Daniel Benjamin and a line of apologists.
The NBC News reporting, unfortunately ignores fundamental journalistic principles, as it willfully dose not address Iran’s human rights violations record, choosing instead to follow Iran’s Mullahs narrative. The NBC bears responsibility to write even about Amnesty International, “blood-soaked.
The NBC reports, including its distorted account of a June 2018 terror plot against Iranian diaspora, including our community members in Paris, proves a direct cooperation with the regime in Tehran.
We urge NBC to judge why Iranian regime and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) repeatedly broadcast this NBC report in Farsi on their censured media, using it to bolster their oppression apparatus.
We hope the readers to examine the details of NBC’s apparent relationship with the Iranian dictatorship. It is a shame.

The following is a rebuttal to an article by the NBC News on October 17, 2019, replete with baseless and threadbare allegations against the Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOPI/MEK) and the support it has enjoyed over the years among prominent former senior U.S. officials.
The article (NBC, October 17, 2019) is the latest in a series of pieces that have rehashed stale and universally debunked allegations against the main Iranian opposition Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). Any fair-minded person can effortlessly discover that the main source of these allegations is the religious fascism ruling Iran.
Regrettably, NBC has refused to publish the MEK’s rebuttals to such false allegations in the past. To set the record straight, the following points need to be reiterated.
