\u201cSupport of 165 US lawmakers for MKO proves deep bonds between US and terrorism. No strange!\u201d, Kanaani said in a post on his Twitter account on Friday.
\n\u201cThe regime that founded Daesh & used it as tool, not ashamed of supporting and instrumental using of murderers of 17k Iranians,\u201d he added.
\nHis comments came after the US House introduced a resolution on February 7, expressing support for what it called the Iranian people\u2019s desire for a democratic and secular country.
\nHead of the MKO terrorist group also joined a congressional press briefing at the US House after announcement of the resolution.
\nMore than 17,000 Iranians, many of them civilians, have been killed at the hands of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO or MEK) in different acts of terrorism including bombings in public places, and targeted killings.
\nThe MKO – listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community – fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq and was given a camp by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
\nThey fought on the side of Saddam during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-88). They were also involved in the bloody repression of Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq in 1991 and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.<\/p>\n
