 Recently a few people have contacted US media specialty VOA, and intoduced themselves as INF(inside Iran) represntatives abroad. INF and the Leadership Council in Iran have announced numerous times that there is no organic relationship with activists abroad, and INF has no represetatives outside of Iran.
INF-US was established in Washington D.C.in 1996. Admiral Ahmad Madani was the secretary general of INF-Abroad. He passed away in Feb. 2006, but more than 100 members of INF_US remain active, and a seven member executive committee carries INF -US affairs. These affairs are mostly a reflection of the activities of INF inside Iran (defending political prisoners rights and promoting the women movement in Iran, as well as the students and workers movement). INF-US has offices in Boston, L.A., Northern California, and Washington D.C.Despite the fact that INF-US is the largest organization among the many INF groups abroad, we do not interfere with INF rules and regulations inside Iran. Furthermore, we have always respected their wishes.
Abroad, there are smaller factions of INF. However, these factions sometimes work against each other. Furthermore, personal problems have diverted the focus of the INF message established by our beloved leader, Dr.Mossadegh, who founded INF in 1948. He established INF for the purpose of nationalizing the oil Industry In Iran. His message stated the principles of independence, freedom, and social justice for Iran.
