In a statement issued on Sunday, the ministry said that the MKO terrorists had intensified their activities within Iran prior to the Albanian police raid on their camp last month.
The ministry highlighted a series of operations conducted in various Iranian cities, resulting in the dismantling of multiple MKO cells and the confiscation of their weapons.
It further commended the Albanian government for taking action against the MKO, years after agreeing to host the group, which has been responsible for numerous terrorist attacks in Iran.
On June 20, Albania's police forces entered the MKO's camp northwest of Tirana, leading to intense clashes with members of the terrorist cult. According to a security source cited by IRNA at the time, at least two terrorists were killed and dozens were injured.
The search operation was authorized by Albania's Special Court against Crime and Corruption due to concerns about the MKO's involvement in acts of terrorism and cyber attacks.
The Ministry of Intelligence of Iran stated that it had previously warned European countries, particularly Albania, about the MKO's use of their territory to direct terrorist activities against Iran.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is seriously committed to pursuing terrorists outside its borders,” the statement said.
Since 2016, Albania has been hosting the MKO after the terrorist cult was expelled from Iraq, where they had been harbored and armed by the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to carry out attacks against Iran.
The ministry further disclosed that it possesses "reliable information" suggesting that certain "long-standing supporters of terrorism" in Europe and the United States, under the guidance and pressure of the Israeli regime, are seeking to revive the MKO.
