I ask myself this question every year, right about now, from a month before … maybe up until a month later, maybe two, or three or four … until the days join one another in a constant rotating loop and I can’t really tell which June 12th it is and which one is coming. But [...]

I’ve heard all my life: “we can’t take any more of this, it’s been 20 years!” … “25 years!” … “30 years!” … And now, 32. Perhaps it is the devoutly cynic in me, but I fear that the worse is yet to come. This isn’t a note on the perils and predicaments of political [...]

This is a video of Tajzadeh giving a speech to student’s before the election. go do what you want, and we’ll just attend to some little chain murders while you’re away. Tajzadeh sure does have a good sense of humor. “the hardliners need a very low turnout, because they know that only with a low [...]

Really, this has got to be one of the most important pieces of – official state – news to get out after the election. I know some of you have declared that the election is no longer an issue, but I beg to differ. Book after book has been written about the 1953 coup. So [...]

This appeared on GhalamNews months ago, but then GhalamNews disappeared. Now, it has emerged once more on the website, Tagheer. An account by Abolfazl Fateh, Mousavi’s campaign manager. note: Karoubi’s repersentative has already provided an account. I would be more than happy to translate anything from the Ahmadinejad camp if they provide one. Especially, since [...]

Abolfazl Fateh, Mousavi’s campaign manager has come out with an account of the night before the election following up with the day (and night) of the election itself. I will provide a translation in the afternoon once classes end. I’m glad that stories and accounts are coming out again. We will never know for certain [...]

Just finished watching “A Death in Tehran.” Maybe you’ve already watched it? It will be all over Blogistan tomorrow. I’m glad they spoke to Mokhtari, a Kayhan contributor, but I would have hoped for more than just Mokhtari from the Ahamdinejad camp. And he got to tell one of the most controversial stories: did civilians [...]

Ahmadinejad appeared on Tehran’s channel (IRIB5) a few days ago and spoke about “taking control” of the Tehran metro, … and other things. Ever since, we’ve all been speculating, and pretty worried. He also “mentioned” how his projects and plans need at least 10 to 15 years. And this has everyone guessing what he could [...]

As you may know, in the two months preceding the election, many government employees were given a raise of up to 15%. From Tabnak: The increase in the salary of government employees which took effect two months before the election, was not included in their salaries for the month of Tir (~July) and their salaries [...]

As you may know, Sohrab Arabi’s mother was at the council today to discuss her ordeals prior to finding her son. He went missing on the Monday, June 14th, in the “peaceful” Tehran protest. She was bounced continuously between the revolutionary court, hospitals and Evin prison. She even met with the beast’s [Ghazi Mortazavi] deputy [...]

Ali Motahari is a vile creature – and I’m not saying that because of his appearance. He is the son of prominent hardline cleric, Morteza Motahari (who was gunned down less than a year after the revolution). He is currently a parliament member, a professor of theology at the University of Tehran and he began [...]

This list is already a few thousand short. But one more name that we have to add to it is Shahpour Kazemi, Zahra Rahnavazrd’s (Kazemi) brother and Mousavi’s brother-in-law. Yesterday, in a meeting with the family of prisoners, after listening to the distressing stories of wives and mothers, Rahnavard told them that she knows exactly [...]

When you open Rafsanjani’s personal website, the first page is always a page out of his autobiography with a line or two summed up as the title. Today he’s posted a memory of 1970, and it reads “We are not frightened. Every generation must undergo a crucial test. Issues related to the people and the [...]

A lot of us, Iranians and non-Iranians, inside or outside, are asking: What now? A group of Iranian intellectuals and activists met at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies for a three day seminar to discuss recent events in Iran. Among the panelists was prolific Iranian journalist, Masoud Behnoud. I think he gives a [...]
