Pye Ian, an independent political and economic researcher, has advised Iranian officials to watch out for potential terrorist attacks in the wake of a recent meeting between several senior US senators and the head of anti-Iran terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) Maryam Rajavi.

Since “Washington and its allies have nothing otherwise to be able to have any sense of leverage within Iran or with Iranians,” the American politicians are “utilizing this terrorist group for terrorism,” Ian warned in an interview with Press TV on Monday.

The delegation of Republican Senators Roy Blunt, John Cornyn, and Thom Tillis had a meeting with Rajavi in Tirana, the capital of Albania, on Saturday.

“This latest meeting in Albania is yet another tactical one and thus Iranian security forces can expect another terrorist incident or incidents within Iran’s borders or on Iranian interests anywhere in the world,” because the June terrorist attacks in Tehran came right on the heels of a meeting between Maryam Rajavi and a group of American neo-cons.

Back in June, Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) and the Mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, became the target of coordinated attacks. 18 people lost their lives and nearly 50 others sustained injuries in shootings and blasts for which Daesh claimed responsibility.
