همايون مجد (واشنگتن)، مصاحبه با رابرت پلترو <ENGLISH><TITLE>US Support for Democratic Institutions in Iran:The Aftermath of the Axis of Evil Speech</TITLE><AUTHOR>Homayoun Majd, interview with Robert Pelletreau</AUTHOR><TEXT>Contrary to some press analysis published in the US and Europe, the US President did not intend to weaken the position of the reformist faction of the IRI when, in his speech to US Congress, he attacked IRI’s support for terrorism and its programs to obtain mass destruction weapons, says Robert H. Pelletreau, former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs in an interview with RFE/RL’s Washinton correspondent. Pointing out President Bush’s emphasis on “unelected officials” and his making a distinction between the demands of Iranian people and the actions of IRI, Pelletreau maintains that the US President’s Axis of Evil speech indicates strong US support for Iranian people and democratic institutions in Iran. </TEXT></ENGLISH>
