The following is a translation of events as described by a “student”, a fellow participant of the UK Embassy raid in Tehran as told to snn.ir, a state media outlet. What seems clear to me is that the in-fighting between the Iranian fascist uber-elite is a cause of this mess, but I wouldn’t doubt that [...]

My first conversation at the United Nations: Chief: your name … where are you from? Pedestrian: I’m Iranian, though my name, it’s not a Persian word. Chief: Aaaah! That beautiful place, Iran! I used to visit over the mountains when I was stationed in Iraq. Such a beautiful place, such amazing food! Pedestrian: Yes, I certainly [...]

Today I watched Ahmadinejad speak in front of me while I was seated in the General Assembly at the United Nations. It was quite dramatic, to say the least. He walked out, that small, hirsute man, sat on the chair and awaited the famous bow. Then he took the stage, and you could tell easily [...]

As we and the imbecilic media laugh away at boobs, nukes and bizarre assassination plots, the state of Iranian prisoners is getting worse and worse. In a case more bizarre and macabre than the worst of them, Mohammad Mostafaie, the lawyer who represented minors on death row and recently, a woman sentenced to stoning, has [...]

He was imprisoned following the June 2009 Selection and was forced to confess harshly against Mousavi and Karoubi on state TV and in court.

“Varzeshe Sobh-gahi” (morning exercise) has been promoted more and more in the past few years. It has been more heavily emphasized by state media outlets, which air a number of morning exercise programs (which as far I know, weren’t aired at least up until the early 90′s). As far as phys ed classes go in [...]

… wasn’t this pretty. The Music Club at Sharif University held their annual concert in the days leading to the Iranian New Year – mid March. This concert was held with complete approval from authorities, and near the end, the students read a poem dedicated to their friends and classmates who are currently in prison. [...]

Zarghami [head of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting] and Ahmadinejad. ————————— I wrote about the Ramadan TV series before. Now this is a post about the Norouz TV series airing on IRIB for the duration of the 13 day Norouz holidays. These series are aired everyday, starting from the new year and end after the [...]

08:30 a.m. IRIB1 is showing Azadi St., leading to Sharif University of Technology. The area is surrounded with people carrying Iranian flags and photos of the leader. The reporter is saying: “despite official calls for the demonstrations to begin 9:30 a.m., people have been gathering since 7 a.m.” Which means: knowing that protesters would arrive [...]

These days, (one of the) wars is over numbers. One way the opposition is trying to gauge the numbers on the Ahmadinejad camp, is through approximating the number of visitors his provincial appearances get and comparing it to previous years and the presidential campaign rallies. Of course, that’s not a good estimate for “supporters” given [...]

The New Yorker this week features an interactive portfolio of forty nine world leaders and a short commentary by the photographer, Platon. The photos were taken in September, when all the world leaders were at the U.N. I found the photographer’s comments on each of the leaders fascinating, but most especially his words about Ahmadinejad. [...]

The girls’s headband says: “Khamenei is the leader.” —————– You haven’t forgotten Hossein Fahmideh, have you? Every year, before the 13 Aban demonstration “basiji” students from around Tehran gather in his honor. That photo above is from this ceremony yesterday. The girl in front doesn’t look very enthusiastic, does she? Today, another group of university [...]

A poster you’ll see across Tehran and in many government buildings across Iran. No, the translation is not mine. ———————————– This is just too funny not to share. Although I think the humor gets lost in my translation. Gives new meaning to the word “choice”. A cleric, Hojjatoleslam Panahiyan was speaking about the hijab (the [...]

And everybody is around to hear it, did it really fall? Well, Ahmadinejad has just given George Berkeley a run for his money. “Some tried to claim that the university students will be able to put pressure on the government. They claimed that as soon as universities opened, the protests would start and the students [...]

Remember the Police Festival? I added at the bottom that there had been strong criticism of the male-female interaction, but one of my friends sent me this photo: The cleric’s sign says: We are from God and to God we shall Return [a prayer they say for the dead] We hereby express our condolences to [...]
