The Iranian uprising shows no sign of abating. It is impossible to know where the protests might lead. National Iranian American Council claims deserve scrutiny, writes mrubin1971.
The budding revolution still lacks clear leadership. In 1979, liberals wanted a democratic Iran and heard in Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's imprecise rhetoric what they wanted. Once he ousted the shah, he allowed his most hard-line supporters to hijack power. The ayatollahs have now lost all legitimacy and face a similar vacuum at the top. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is unwell, and even if he recovers, the average life expectancy of cancer-stricken, octogenarian ayatollahs is limited.
The NIAC was also at the root of the calumny about Iran’s supposed offer to strike a grand bargain with regard to Israel, terrorism, and its nuclear program. Emails released in a lawsuit discovery process showed its leader authenticated the supposed offer to journalists even after Iran’s U.N. ambassador told him that the deal was not, in fact, real.
