Tehran, Oct 31, IRNA -- Secretary General of the Habilian Association (families of Iranian terror victims) Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad said on Tuesday that the US decision to delist Mujahedin Khalq Organization from the global terrorists is in line with Washington's Iran campaign.

He said although US had been seriously supporting MKO before the decision, but now they openly defend and support this terrorist group.
The Habillian secretary-general said that the United States backs internal conflicts inside the countries, just like what they did in Iraq, therefore they plan such a scenario for Iran, then any group such as MKO which has such capability is good for them.

He said that the terrorism case in Iran has recorded the names of over 17,000 innocent people who had been brutally killed by the US-backed terrorist group, Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization, a clear evidence to prove the fact that Islamic Republic of Iran has been the biggest victim of terrorism.
