Enemies of the Khameini regime, albeit very odd ones.

And yes, they were at Occupy Wall Street.

Oddlane’s wiki & other link shed more light.

To sum up, MeK is an Iranian Islamic-Marxist grp. They’ve always operated as a cult.

In the 60s & 70s, they targeted Americans & American interests in Iran. They also were anti-monarchy, and pro-USSR. They even helped the mullahs’ regime gain power in Iran. But, once Khomeini came to power (in 1979) he refused to share power w/ them, and executed many of them. That’s the main reason they’ve been fighting the mullahs ever since.

They’ll have no future in Iran - most Iranians loathe them as much as (if not more than) the Mullahs’ regime. But, they are (kinda) good at assassinations, terrorism, spreading misinformation & disinformation, and, generally, being stupid.

Who are the MEK?

PBS' Frontline has this... News | Report: Israeli Source Claims Depot Blast Mossad/MKO Operation.

MKO, also referred to as the MEK?

Here's another news link, Mossad-MEK May Have Bombed Iranian Missile Base, 40 Dead and Wounded.
