Trita Parsi, First of all he is not a doctor. Second he is a agent of the mullash’s regime in Iran. He gets paid by terrorist regime of mullah’s in Iran. We Iranian people will have freeddom soon.

I do think we, as Iranians, should learn to engage in critical and constructive discourse with courtesy and respect for each other.
Name calling and making unsubstantiated accusations must stop.
Trita Parsa has done much to promote the cause of Iran and Iranians. He is being unfairly attacked by both sides.
