 Following measures passed by Congress to impose comprehensive sanctions against Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a terrorist group and restrictions against human rights violations in Iran, signed into law by President Donald Trump, and as Washington is evaluating a new Iran policy, on Saturday prominent US Senators and a delegation of senior advisors met with Maryam Rajavi, President of the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in Tirana, the capital of Albania.

This meeting signals a strong tendency in Washington for a major policy alteration vis-à-vis the rogue regime of Iran. Such a development addresses the necessary blueprint to bring about regime change.

Discussions were held regarding the current circumstances of members of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), the leading member of the NCRI coalition, following their transfer from Iraq to Albania. This relocation was made possible through efforts placed forward by US lawmakers. Recent developments in Iran and the Middle East, parallel to solutions to end the Middle East crisis, were matters also weighed in this meeting.

The Senate delegation included Senators Roy Blunt, Vice President of the Republican Conference, and member of the Appropriation, Select Intelligence, Rules and Administration, and Commerce, Science, and Transportation committees; Senator John Cornyn, the Majority Whip, and a member of the Judiciary, Select Intelligence, and Finance committees; and Senator Thom Tillis, a member of the Armed Services, Judiciary, Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and Veterans’ Affairs committees.

“Led by Senator Blunt, the delegation congratulated the safe and secure relocation of all Camp Liberty residents outside of Iraq and wished them success in their struggle for democracy and human rights in Iran,” according to a statement issued by the NCRI in its official website.

Senator Blunt, who played a very important role in the safe transfer of PMOI/MEK members to Albania and other countries across Europe, described the relocation as a foremost achievement for the Iranian people and opposition, lauding the efforts of Maryam Rajavi and her movement for the success of this seemingly impossible task.
