Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (https://thehill.com/people/mike-pompeo) is limiting U.S. diplomats’ contact with Iranian opposition groups, according to a cable sent to all U.S. diplomatic outposts Tuesday.
Pompeo’s order says diplomats should not meet with Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) or five other groups because it could damage the United States' chances to negotiate with Iran, the cable obtained by Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-07/pompeo-limits-u-s-contact-with-iranian-group-linked-to-giuliani) said.
“Direct U.S. government engagement with these groups could prove counterproductive to our policy goal of seeking a comprehensive deal with the Iranian regime that addresses its destabilizing behavior,” the cable said, according to Bloomberg. It also added that these groups “try to engage U.S. officials regularly to gain at least the appearance of tacit support and enhance their visibility and clout.”

That's what they claim publicly. "You have to a public image and private one" MEK are still funded and supported by the Trump admin allies no matter what the lying Pompeo says.

If anyone has being showing a sign of destabilizing behavior in the middle east that would be America not Iran, i am getting tried of hearing this clown.
