Following the claim by the head of the Islamic Republic's Information Council that 'the work of recovering information from the computers seized from the People's Mojahedin Organization's headquarters in Albania has begun', a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department told VOA that the U.S. has made no requests to Albania. According to this spokesperson, any other news is false. The spokesperson also stated: 'On June 20, the Albanian state police entered the premises of the People's Mojahedin Organization in Albania to execute a court order. The U.S. had no involvement in this operation but supports the right of the Albanian government to investigate any illegal activities within its territory.' The spokesperson referred further inquiries on this matter to the Albanian government. A short while ago, a member of the 'National Council of Resistance of Iran' reacted to the claim of the Iranian official regarding the beginning of 'identifying the links' of the People's Mojahedin Organization through 'the seized hard drives and computer cases' at Ashraf 3, stating to VOA: 'The U.S. and Albania must clarify whether the computers have been handed over to the Iranian government or not.' The spokesperson for the People's Mojahedin Organization, in response to the remarks of the head of the Islamic Republic's Information Council, stated in an interview with VOA that the U.S. and Albania must clarify whether 'the Mojahedin's computers have been delivered to the Iranian regime.' According to official Iranian news agencies on Monday, July 3, Sepehr Khalaji, the head of the Information Council of the government, stated that the work of 'information recovery' related to the People's Mojahedin Organization from the computers seized from this organization's headquarters in Albania has begun.
