International Community Pledges $7.3 Billion for Ukraine's Reconstruction and Reform.

Albanian authorities raided a camp near Tirana housing thousands of members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) group, which is exiled from Iran. The group is suspected of orchestrating cyberattacks against foreign institutions. The U.S. State Department expressed support for the raid, stating that it was conducted lawfully and that Tirana has the sovereign right to take such action. MEK representatives claimed that one elderly person died as a result of the use of tear gas by police during the raid, but Albania's interior minister and the police denied responsibility. The MEK killed U.S. personnel in Iran during the 1970s and carried out a series of terror attacks on Iranian embassies in 13 different countries in 1992, leading to its inclusion on the lists of terrorist organizations of the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

Iranian Spy Executed for Involvement in Revolutionary Guard's Takeover of Economy

Secret documents obtained by the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (MEK) opposition group indicate that Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has effectively taken control of the country’s economy through companies it operates, making the military outfit a key decision-maker on foreign policy. The documents dealt with the activities of the Resistance Economy Headquarters, an organization set up after the US killed senior IRGC commander General Qassem Soleimani in a missile strike in 2020. The MEK claims that trade with Iran is funding the IRGC and its military operations, including internal repression, terror, regional warfare, and the program to acquire nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
