The Army seems to use two flags: the Iranian three-color (green-white-red) flag with Farsi writings on the inner edges and a "mojahedin flag", a 2:3 white flag with a red device. I've drawn the device as good as I can; please take it only as a draft reproduction of the real device and writings.
Someone tells me the writings are reversed in respect of the shape of Iran. The writing in bottom of the flag (when mirrored vertically) means:
"People's Mojahedin of Iran"where "Mojahedin" means "Fighters for belief". The writing on the bottom is a verse from the Quran:
"God prefers Mojahedin over those who don't do anything, and rewards them with a great reward".
The Iranian National Liberation Army was founded in 1981 by Rajavi Massoud, an opposer of Kohmeini's government. It is the militar entity of the "People's Mojahedin" movement. Its headquarter was at Paris but since 1987 it is in Iraq.
