Iranian FM denounces newly-introduced Congressional resolution


(MENAFN) Iranian Foreign Ministry on Friday condemned a newly-introduced Congressional resolution that supports the terrorist Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), stating the decision shows "deep bonds" between Washington and violence.

"Support of 165 US lawmakers for MKO proves deep bonds between #US and #terrorism," Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani shared on his Twitter page.

"No strange!" he added, saying, "The regime that founded #Daesh & used it as tool, not ashamed of supporting and instrumental using of murderers of 17k Iranians."

The bipartisan resolution was presented to the House by Congressman Tom McClintock on February 7 and has 164 other cosponsors. It has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Supporting unrest in Iran, the resolution voices support for what it calls the "Iranian people’s desire for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran." It as well levels false allegations against Iran for what it calls "state-sponsored terrorism" and violation of human rights.
