The Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) has acknowledged that it played a role in Sunday's violent anti-government protests in Iran.

MKO followers cooperated with the demonstrators and coordinated the protests, the organization's leader Maryam Rajavi told AFP in Paris on Tuesday.

Rajavi also urged unity among those bent on overthrowing the Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

"It's a call for solidarity among all those who reject the rule of the supreme leader, the Velayat e-Faqih," she told AFP in Paris.

"What we call the 'Green movement' against the electoral fraud quickly disappeared to be replaced by a deeper movement whose goal is the total overthrow of the regime," she claimed.

The MKO, listed as a terrorist group in Iran, Iraq, Canada, and the US, has claimed responsibility for numerous deadly attacks against Iranian government officials and civilians over the past 30 years.
