A cease fire with an Iranian terrorist group, the Mujahedeen Khalq, has been called by the U.S.

But just a week or so ago they bombed their principal bases, according to the Herald Tribune:

"Without public announcement, American forces have bombed the principal bases of the main armed Iranian opposition group in Iraq, which has maintained several thousand fighters with tanks and artillery along Iraq's border with Iran for more than a decade."

Interesting. Looks like public relations to me. Allow the damaged group to keep their arms, negotiate a cease fire, you make it look like you're putting pressure on Iran when you really aren't.
