Associate Press Quotes NIAC as unbiased “Iran Experts”

We’ve told you before about NIAC, the National Iranian American Council, and updated you this week as NIAC board member Mohammad Navab announced in a comment on this blog that he was no longer with The Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran (CASMII), and all webpages indicating he ever had been a board member at CASMII also disappeared.

The result of this buildup of US allegations of Iranian involvement in Iraq could also prove to be a prelude to war: “If you can make the case that Iranians are actually killing Americans, that makes it extremely difficult for those opponents of military action to depict the administration as warmongering,” adds Parsi, also the head of the National Iranian American Council.

NIAC is quite open in its desire to prevent conflict with Iran, regardless of what the regime does to provoke it. They are far from unbiased observers in question of Iran-American relations, and despite trite assurances that they do indeed condemn the country’s human rights record they do everything in their power to insure that it’s business as usual for Tehran. As for the Associated Press, Gateway Pundit says:

Is it too much to ask the Associated Press to use Iranian experts who are not working with the regime in Iran for their articles? This AP article is not only factually misleading- It is openly promoting the propaganda of the Iranian Regime!
