A respected Iranian ex-patriot, Dr. Ahura Pirouz Khaleghi Yazdi, hosts a news program on a southern California based Iranian satellite broadcasting station (Rangarang TV, which means colorful), has recently announced he is returning to Iran to serve as a catalyst for a regime change in Iran no later than that date.
He claims to have the support of leaders inside the Iranian government and military institutions and has booked several chartered aircraft for his return to Iran with his supporters on or before that date.
Dr. Yazdi is a highly respected Iranian Zoroastrian, but a return to Iran without massive public support and protection would surely end in his immediate arrest. This move on his part is one of the boldest of any Iranian ex-patriot in recent memory.
Very little has been published on his efforts in the media and while it is hard to believe that he has sufficient support inside of Iran to protect him, still he is the first such Iranian to make such a bold challenge to the regime.
We need to watch for the reaction of Iranians inside of Iran to this ongoing story.
Background information:
He recently held a press conference at the National Press Club, August 24, 2004.

We are at war with radial Muslims not Zoroastrians. What is Zoroastrian?
Thanks McGavin for spreading the good word -
I believe Christianity has some Zoroastrian beliefs also?
BTTT
I would have picked November 3.
THE GEOPOLITICAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT
However, win or lose, we must remember > that on the day after the election, Bush will be president and will never > face election again. He might be president for two months or four years, but he will remain president. In either case, he will be more concerned about his place in history and his own sense of what must be done than in political considerations. It follows that he will try to shape the war decisively in either case.
Al Qaeda will be facing, in either case, a world in which it has failed to ignite the Islamic masses and in which the general political tendencies in the Islamic world have not only not fulfilled al Qaeda's hopes, but have moved against them. At some point, they will have to assert themselves somewhere. Al Qaeda has political goals and it must generate some movement toward achieving them. With those two imperatives in mind, the decline in the importance of the > Iraqi theater of operations will generate massive forces pointing to further military confrontations after the elections, quite apart from the threat of terrorist actions.
You did notice his not a muslim...guess not.
And I am supposed to think exactly WHAT of your family album photos?
Wierdo.
What a gay argument bro - but the truth remains whether you like to believe it or not.
LOL!
Girst of all, I am not gay.
Decond of all, I am not KKK.
Yhird of all, I am NOT your bro.
Buhbye.
Thank goodness -
Through the centuries Iran has been notable for religious diversity and original spiritual thought. It has given birth to religions both ancient (Zoroastrian) and modern (Baha'i) and has influenced others to a remarkable degree. I suspect that most Christians, Muslims and Jews will be amazed at the extent to which Iranian thought shaped their faiths; even Buddhism - not a religion one associates with Iran - .
