Just as he is being criticized by those to his right for his emphasis on engagement with Iran, President Obama came under attack from the left, in the op-ed pages of the May 23 New York Times, for just the opposite. Unlike critics from the right who largely concur with the president’s stated objectives but disagree with his tactics, Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett argue for a full about-face on Iran policy.
اگر کسی جرئت کرده و مانند دانشجویان دلیر ایرانی از این میرحسین سوال کند که نقش جنابعالی بعنوان عالی ترین مقام اجرائی کشور در آنهمه جنایات و بخصوص قتل عام هزاران زندانی بیگناه در سال 1367 چه بوده است، یکی از همین بازماندگان حزب توده مثل رضا فانی یزدی، به صحنه آمده و با عصبانیتی که بیشتر به دفاع از ناموس شبیه است، سوال کننده را سر جایش نشانده و می پرسد که خود شما در آن سالها کجا بودید؟

Their intent seems very clear to me, and I’m one who believes if they achieve that objective, that it is incredibly destabilizing for the region. And I think eventually for the world.
A student activist and leading defender of the rights of political prisoners and their families, Javid-Tehrani has spent the last 10 years in and out ofprison.

دیدگاه تارنمای تابناک ( بازتاب سابق) ، یکی از شواهدی ست که عدم رضایت حکومت اسلامی از عملکرد این مجموعه را باز می تاباند. این پربیننده ترین تارنما ی سیاسی ی حکومتی سخنگوی جناحی از اصولگرایان به ویژه سخنگوی محسن رضایی، قرمانده ی سابق سپاه پاسداران و رییس شورای تشخیص مصلحت رژیم و کاندیدای ریاست جمهوری از سوی اصولگرایان است.
During these times, my main encouragement was the support I received from the Iranian community that opposes the Iranian regime’s advocates and lobbyists. Consequently, more and more people have come forward to raise questions and voice their concerns.
