Today's program is based on a single article in Ham-Mihan newspaper, which discusses the Iranian opposition abroad, and delves into the principle of whether the end justifies the means, especially when this entails the unprecedented situation of opposition-minded individuals or factions supporting foreign adversaries attacking Iran, their homeland. Obviously, Ham-Mihan argues that the end does not justify the means, and depicts the exiled opposition as traitors and mercenaries of foreign powers, primarily Israel. Ham-Mihan has also some unrealistic policy recommendations, such as "dialogue, permitting dissent, and encouraging a multiplicity of voices" in Iran, which I will comment on in the final part of the program. After all, the Islamic Republic had such proclivity, there would be no exiled opposition in the first place!
