Return from Paradise in the Left Lane By Hassan Daioleslam

In 2006, the Iran’s nuclear dossier was referred to the UN Security Council inaugurating a new era of confrontation between the clerical rulers and the international community. To counter the diplomatic pressure on Tehran, a new advocacy and PR group namely “Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran” (CASMII) was created.

CASMII’s “Mission Statement” says, “CASMII is an independent campaign organisation with the purpose of opposing sanctions, foreign state interference and military intervention in Iran.” In effect, its pronounced purpose is to conduct public relations campaigns defending the actions of the world’s largest and most dangerous terrorist regime.

Through CASMII, segments of the left and the anti-war movement in the United States have channeled their critique of the war and the current US administration to support the most radical elements of the Iranian regime. These American personalities and groups have clearly crossed the line and have become ardent advocates of one of the most notorious dictatorships of the modern history, with no regards for the Iranian people, the prime victims of these dictators.
