It does not matter if they voice only the opinions of their members or most of Iranian-Americans, because its called freedom of speech. They are not harming Iranians in any way and if you look at their members and credentials and compare them with any other Iranian organization, they seem to be way more organized, influential and involved with Iranian matters (they are offering internships to students & graduates to get involved.)
There can be more than 1 Iranian-American organization and nothing is stopping others from starting their own, but their own lack of ambition. NIAC deserves nothing but credit.
No, NIAC does not support the Iranian government. Opposition to a US-Iran war does not equate support for the Iranian government. NIAC opposes war because it is not in the national interest of the United States. NIAC believes that war would impose tremendous suffering on the American (and the Iranian) people. NIAC also believes that war with Iran will most likely fuel radical elements inside Iran and strengthen Iran's current government.
Numerous public opinion polls in the United States have shown tremendous opposition to war and support for diplomacy, including a 2007 poll conducted by the University of California at Berkeley.
NIAC opposes war with Iran, and has been very successful pushing for diplomacy on Capitol Hill. NIAC's efforts lend Iranian Americans a voice in Washington, D.C.; but like all successful political organizations, it is impossible to be effective without garnering critics.
NIAC's critics often equate opposition to war with support for the Iranian government. Nothing could be further from the truth. NIAC opposes a US-Iran war because it would be detrimental to US national interest and likely prolong the reign of the current Iranian government.
NIAC's critics include neo-conservative activists like Kenneth Timmerman and Michael Rubin, who prefer military confrontation over diplomacy. Critics in the Iranian-American community include groups like the terrorist-listed People's Mujahedin of Iran (also known as the MEK or MKO).
