Iranian Activists Call On Iran To End Support For Syria’s Assad
Scores of Iranian political activists and intellectuals have launched an online campaign calling on Iran to end its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and take in Syrian refugees fleeing violence there. The more than 70 activists, who include several former political prisoners, blame Assad and his foreign supporters, including Tehran, for the exodus of tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to Europe.
They have launched a Facebook page called Sorry, Syria, where so far about two dozen users have expressed "shame" over Iran's assistance for Assad's "crimes" and warned that silence could be interpreted as consent.
"We believe it is our main responsibility to denounce the destructive intervention of the Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly, the Qods force, in the Syrian crisis," the activists said in a statement sent to RFE/RL, referring to the Quds Force, an elite wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). They also said that Iran should host some of the Syrian refugees "to alleviate a small part of the great pain that it has inflicted on the Syrian people."
The activists urge Iranian action to respect the basic rights of Syrians. "The Islamic republic must terminate all of its financial, military, and intelligence aid to the Assad regime and allow the formation of an interim government without Assad," the statement says.

Probably not a significant factor in Iranian politics at this point but it's the first I have heard of this movement.
