[lit-ideas] Re: Iranian exile wants all-out sanctions on Tehran

Actually the most serious rival to Khomeini's party
after the Revolution was the Tudeh or Communist Party.
The supporters of the Shah of course also remain a
political force, though stronger in the US than in
Iran. (It's usually they who advocate action against
Iran today.)

I see that Mohadessin is upset that his People's
Mujahedin are still listed as a terrorist
organization. Given his current pro-US position, I
guess that will be updated soon.

O.K.
