Vinogradov argued that the growing discontent of fundamentalist, right-wing clergymen with Khomeini's policies, together with what he called the "CIA-backed leftists" of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (People's Crusaders), had brought Iran to the brink of a civil war. Vinogradov told Mousavi that Iran would be ripe for a U.S.-backed counterrevolution.
