Yesterday’s General Assembly Vote can be historic. The US & Canada, the clumsy allies that they are stood by while the world … What exactly did the world do? Will we remember the vote next year? Do you remember the UNESCO vote the year before? I hope that this vote gives the Palestanians momentum. I [...]

Iranian State media is using the “student” label to address the hooligans who stormed the UK embassy earlier today. I can’t help but laugh at the irony of the situation. Ever since the election in Iran, the protesters (many of them REAL students) were labelled “hooligans”, “thugs” and “goons” by state media and now those [...]

It is times like this that I feel very much alone … Who will put an end to this madness? Or is that what every generation asks itself before its eventual demise? In times of protest in Iran, you hear the exuberant cries of rallies behind the protesters, offering them useless, albeit enthusiastic support. It [...]

Read Hamid Serri, in Informed Comment, talk about how: Iran’s UN Inspectors are Repeating the Iraq Mistakes Though I wouldn’t call them “mistakes” necessarily. The word implies a level of misunderstanding or misconception – whereas this feels more deliberate.

My first real, vivid memories of this world took shape in a time and place where the universe had no grand villains. Perhaps Stan Lee & Co. were on a short hiatus. Adolf Hitler and the evils of WWII were decades and decades past, more like horrid fables than my reality. The end of the [...]

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 [...]

“National Media” ————————————- Even though this clip may be considered slapstick comedy, I was rather intrigued by it. Especially because I had recently seen this: [h/t Neo-Resitance] The first clip is a piece on IRIB2 – about Iran’s “cyber army” and how, since some blogs and the internet have been used towards “soft warfare” to [...]

Students sitting beside the name of their classmates who were killed during the Israeli assault on Gaza —————————————————— In this blog, I focus on Iran – however, that doesn’t mean that I’m ignorant or oblivious to what is going on in the rest of the world, especially in our neighboring countries, and Israel-Palestine. I don’t [...]

The Iranian side of Blogistan is abuzz with the news of Caspian Makan’s travels to Israel and his meeting with Peres. Makan, the self-proclaimed “fiance” of Neda Agha Soltan whose real name is “Alireza” and I’m not sure how it got switched to “Caspian” though it does make for a nice name for a talented [...]

I’ve been meaning to sit down and write a piece about the role of certain Iranians in the expat community in the movement inside Iran. About Mohsen Sazegara, Makhmalbaf, Sajdadpour, Ganji, etc. I was quite taken aback when I read that Mohajerani had visited the WINEP (Washington Institute for Near East Policy – an offshoot [...]

The following is an account of 22 Bahman provided by a friend of Agh Bahman’s. Chaharshanbeh Suri, which he describes, is a national celebration held on the evening of the last Tuesday of the year, sort of like an opening ceremony to the new year celebrations. Bonfires are made in yards, parks, etc, and people [...]

Gol dar moghabeleh Gholooleh [Flowers for Bullets] is what student activist and Mousavi campaigner Emad Bahavar who was recently released from prison is calling it. What does he mean? A summary from [Agh Bahman] There’s only two weeks left to 16 Azar [7th of December] and some are expecting it to be like 13 Aban, [...]

[From Agh Bahman] The Green Word newspaper (Kalemeyeh Sabz) obtained a permit in February of 2009, and the first issue came out May 18th, 2009. On June 22nd, judiciary officials raided the office and although they had no permit to permanently close down the newspaper, it has not been published since. There were rumors that [...]

As you’ve possibly heard, a massive suicide bombing killed at least 7 top IRGC commanders, along with a number of others including tribal leaders. General Nourali Shoushtari, the head of the Revolutionary Guards’ armed forces, and General Mohammadzadeh, the Guard’s commander in Sistan-Baluchestan, were among the victims.

I’m bringing this post back up because I’ve added new things at the bottom. I have some good news and some bad news. I’ll start with the good news. Remember a while ago I wrote about the need for a media outlet that belongs to the opposition in Iran? A few days after that my [...]

Here is Glenn Greenwald’s thoughts on his battle with warmonger Arianna Huffington. I don’t own a TV, but if you do, keep your eye out on all the “liberal” Huffingtons being invited to speak. In the two weeks leading up to the Iraq war, the four major networks (CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS) did a [...]

In the weeks leading up to the Quds day rallies, Mohsen Sazegara, a veteran of VOA (Voice of America Persian Service) who now gives daily messages to the “greens” in Iran via Youtube and the VOA, emphasized the following slogan to be shouted in the Quds Day rallies: “Na Ghazeh, na Lobnan, janam fadayeh Iran” [...]
