In Defense of Iran: Notes from a U.S. Peace Delegation's Journey through the Islamic Republic” tells the story of the People's Peace Delegation to Iran, a journey organized by Richmond Defender Editor Phil Wilayto and co-sponsored by The Richmond Defender and the Virginia Anti-War Network.
In describing the delegation's travels, Wilayto attempts to address the many charges being leveled against Iran: that it is developing nuclear weapons, supports terrorism, is “meddling” in Iraq, wants to attack Israel, that its government represses Iranian women, etc.
