Is the hostility of recent decades between Iran and Israel inherent in the ideology of the Islamic Republic, or are there pragmatic dimensions of national interest that are in play? Despite a rhetorical shift after the fall of the Pahlevi dictatorship, at a Century Foundation roundtable discussion (Iran and Israel--An Irreversible Enmity?) experts, including Trita Parsi, insisted that Israeli-Iranian relations only turned bitterly hostile in response to external geopolitical shifts in the region. Since redefining the relationship between the two nations will be critical to the strategic dynamics at play in the Middle East, how can the enmity and threats be turned around?

So the behavior of the united states in its foreign policy is very important to the process of birth and establishment of democracy in Iran.
Now we have a critical situation, where the American foreign policy decision is about to been made about Iran, this will effect not just us, but the entire world...
so why no "EXPERTISE" there ( in the US) to build up a consensus ? one that is "Pareto-optimal" for all ? the democratic movement, the stability of the region, and themselves ?
Thanx kvon1992 .... as an iranian student in europe who actually is at most upset about the human rights, and free speech, and freedom issus in general, i gotta say that as trita is mentioning: "this organisation has not the experties to deal or talk about this issus" !!
Remember, the biggest harm to democratic movements in iran came always from the outside: 1904 "Mashroote" which has beed stoped with english help, 1953 "Mossadegh" stopped by Americans...
Why so many warmongers attack Trita Parsi & tag him like that?He seems knowlegable & wise,I listened to his speech & I found it fair,war is not the answer,look what happend to poor Iraqis & Afgans,no more war!What's wrong with peace?u don't have relatives & friends in Iran.I dodn't think he necessarily approves d Iranian Goverment, all he says is talk and no war, Let me assure you d west deosn't give a them about the Iranian people, all they want is their national interest. Peace
Hey Trita par..!? or what ever your name is, We rather be Screwed by Israel than loved by an Arab protending to be Iranian by a fake name and a learned language "Farsi",time is up where are you going to hide after we take Iran back from the hand of British and their mulla planted friends?Loveing relation between Iran and Israel goes back 1000 years before the time you Arabs used to kill you baby doughters and eat lizards and now you learned how to be lobiest for "Oli companies and Mullas".
Trita Parsi is a mulla transplant and lobbyist. He is not an Iranian. His dad worked for Savak. His wife is an Arab. He claims to be a human rights activist, yet he has never written a single article on human rights abuses by the mullahs in Iran.
