Question: If the Iran Project is non-political organization, how would it exist in today’s political environment where so many Iranian political opposition groups are active in?
Answer: To achieve the Vision of a free, secular, and democratic Iran, existence of healthy and popular political groups with support and influence inside Iran is extremely important, but not adequate.
