Relation and cooperation between Iranian regime and American anti-war groups.

Relation and cooperation between Iranian regime and American anti-war groups. HT: Iraniansforum.

Public and court documents show how the Iranian regime was able to infiltrate, manipulate and high jack some of the American anti-war groups and use them in a vast lobby campaign to influence public opinion and US policy with Iran.

The Iranian regime has forged alliances with various political, social, religious and cultural organizations in the US to further its political agenda. 

However, the practical alliance between the theocratic regime of Iran and part of American left and anti war groups could seem the most inconvenient and difficult to understand. Two episodes best define the troubling nature of the relationship between the Iranian regime and part of the American left and peace movement.

The first episode occurred in September 2008, when the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to New York to attend the UN general assembly. The Iranian mission at the UN invited the peace and religious groups to meet with him. One hundred-fifty representatives of these groups participated in a reception with Ahmadinejad, some of them praising the Iranian regime and offering help to combat US pressure and sanctions against Iran. At the end of ceremony, Ahmadinajad who received a gift joyfully expressed his desire to be a member of American peace movement. (See document).Read the full story here.
