Grassroots Civilian Diplomacy Delegations to Iran by FOR USA (Invitation) In June 2009, FOR suspended our delegations due to the political and social violence that occured around the national elections. FOR has publicly expressed deep concerns regarding the violence precipitated by state and non-state actors since that time, sought to support nonviolent means of addressing the conflicts in the country, and worked toward reconciliation between different parties. In the spring of 2010, FOR determined to recommence delegations to Iran, at the invitation and request of Iran’s Center for Interreligious Dialogue and partner groups in Iran and the United States.
