This ruling is in line with the demands of Iranian-Americans across the United States and their representatives in Congress. In the 2006 National Convention for a Democratic, Secular Republic in Iran, Iranian-American organizations from nearly 40 states declared: "there is no amount of political concessions or economic incentives that would moderate Tehran's regime. It is time to erase all traces of appeasement policy including the blacklisting of Iran's main opposition groups, like the PMOI."
