Iran hawks on Capitol Hill are taking a renewed interest in the Iranian opposition group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) following the nuclear deal with Tehran.
Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee on Oct. 7 urged the Obama administration to speed up the resettlement of more than 2,300 MEK refugees who remain in a camp near Baghdad. They also want the United States to put more pressure on Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's government to protect MEK members from alleged attacks by Tehran-backed assailants.
