If I recall rightly, Torab has written about the USFI stance re Iran. He was the political secretary of the section when the European-based and US-based FI supporters merged - the HKS. (Within months there was a split, with the formation of the HKE, which was generally aligned with the US SWP, at least initially. The HKS susbsequently evolved away from the FI. Torab is still very much a marxist, but he doesn;t identify as a trotskyist - and hasn't for a long time. I interviewed him back in 2008 - the interview is up on Redline. I have had intermittent contact with him since, but not as much as with Yassamine Mather. Her background is different - she was in the Fedayeen (Minority), the Fedayeen people who opposed Tudeh and the theocratic regime. I also interviewed her a few years back and that interview is on Redline. She's the most prominent figure in Hopoi. She also wrote a very interesting piece about Marxism in Iran that is essentially about the Fedayeen.
