Jim Fine is Legislative Secretary for Foreign Policy at the Friends Committee on National Legislation, a Quaker organization. Fine coordinates FCNL's Iraq Peace Campaign.  He is a Peace Advocate who has lived in several countries of the Middle East.
Discusses the difficult situation which exists in Iran today.  Iran is in its worst turmoil since its Islamic Revolution of 30 years ago. There is a rising generation that is dissatisfied with the status quo. Elements of the Religious Establishment are concerned about the drift toward authoritarian power.  Results of June election were inaccurately represented.  Fine also discusses the positions of Iran's opposition leaders.  Leaders in Iran insist that it is seeking a peaceful nuclear program, which is consistent with Islamic law.
