With "regime change [3]" in Iran receiving renewed attention in Congress, "new exiled Iranian opposition groups backed by some of Washington's neoconservatives [4] are springing up in the hope of seeing large doses of U.S. funding," reports the Financial Times. One such group, the Alliance for Democracy in Iran [5], is "strategically located in the heart of the capital's think-tank quarter," admires the American Enterprise Institute [6], is partners with the Hudson Institute [7], and enjoys support from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth [8]'s Jerome Corsi [9]. (In the New Yorker, Seymour Hersh [10] writes [11] that it's possible U.S. belligerence might be "part of a propaganda campaign aimed at pressuring Iran to give up its weapons planning.")
