Clearly, the Iranian regime views the NCRI as the single greatest threat to their theocratic dictatorship. The most effective way for the U.S. to align itself with pro-democracy citizens and groups within Iran is to recognize the NCRI, its leadership and their commitment to a free, democratic, non-nuclear Iran.
