The Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an exiled Iranian opposition group that openly calls for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic, claims it carried out an armed attack Monday targeting the residence of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to BBC Persian reporter Siavash Ardalan, multiple eyewitnesses described an unusually heavy security presence around the area today. However, authorities have not clarified the reason for the heightened deployment.

The MEK, which has a long militant history and was previously designated as a terrorist organization by several Western governments before being delisted, has not provided independent evidence of the alleged attack. Iranian officials have yet to publicly confirm or deny the claim.

The situation remains unclear as of now, with no official statement detailing damage, casualties, or the scale of the reported incident.
