New Details Emerges About Detainees Sentenced to Death

When 22-year-old student Hamed Ruhinejad first heard about the street protests that erupted throughout in Iran following the country's presidential election, he was already in jail. In fact, when the contentious June 12 vote took place, he had already been serving time at Tehran's Evin prison for about 40 days. But that fact didn't spare Ruhinejad, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, from a death sentence imposed for participating in rallies he could not possibly have attended.

The 3-minute video that may prove Iran’s nuclear intentions

VIENNA - The last place you would expect to hear the apocalyptic soundtrack of the movie "Chariots of Fire" would be Iran. This 1981 film recounts the story of a Jewish British athlete and his teammate, a devout Christian, who refuses to compete on Sunday, his day of rest. But this soundtrack accompanies a highly secret video, produced by Iranian nuclear scientists, but never screened before the general public - a three-minute film depicting a computerized simulation of the detonation of a warhead, most likely a nuclear one. Whether it was intentional or merely coincidental, the nameless Iranian editor decided to use the soundtrack of the British blockbuster to accompany the video. ...

Report from Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations

Reviewing the technical and legal aspects it could easily be concluded that the international community has been, to a great extent misled with bias, politicized and exaggerated information on Iranian nuclear programs and activities. Iranian nuclear issues which should have been dealt in a purely technical manner within the framework of the IAEA, has been politicized. In order to divert the attention of international community from the: immediate and serious security concerns as the result violation of article VI of the NPT; existence of the huge number of the nuclear warheads; recent development in manufacturing new types of nuclear weapons by two Nuclear Weapon States and the last but not the least the potential nuclear threat by Israel; being the only non-party to the NPT in the strategic region of Middle East.

On Leadership Panelists Bad leaders like Ahmadinejad must be forced to change.

During the past thirty years, Iran has been a sworn enemy of the United States. During the past five years, Iran has become far more powerful a player than before -- this in a region of critical strategic importance. During the past five years, Iran has sought aggressively to acquire more arms, now including nuclear arms. During the past year (as well as before) Iran oppressed its own dissenters -- many to the point of persecution. Finally, Ahmadinejad has himself, ironically, repeatedly and in no uncertain terms, been a Holocaust denier and Jew-hater. To gild this lily he has spoken openly and frequently of obliterating the state of Israel, of "wiping it off the map."

How to Press the Advantage With Iran

This article is more idealistic rather than realistic, not paying attention to the people and the situation at hand! "Because President Obama assembled a national security team that, for the most part, did not share his early vision for American-Iranian rapprochement, his administration never built a strong public case for engagement. The prospect of engagement is still treated largely as a channel for rewarding positive Iranian actions and punishing problematic behavior precisely what Mr. Obama, as a presidential candidate, criticized so eloquently about President George W. Bush s approach."

What I'm arguing for is an Iran policy of "creative opportunism." We should take advantage of the fact that our biggest adversary in the Middle East has just had a political crackup. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's vote-rigging putsch has backfired. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's attempt to squelch protest has only revealed his weakness. In the post-election turmoil, even Ahmadinejad and Khamenei have been squabbling.

Ahmadinejad won. Get over it

Without any evidence, many U.S. politicians and Iran experts have dismissed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad s reelection Friday, with 62.6 percent of the vote, as fraud. They ignore the fact that Ahmadinejad s 62.6 percent of the vote in this year s election is essentially the same as the 61.69 percent he received in the final count of the 2005 presidential election, when he trounced former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. The shock of the Iran experts over Friday s results is entirely self-generated, based on their preferred assumptions and wishful thinking.

Iran’s Disputed Election – The Big Picture –

Following up from last Friday's entry about Iran's Presidential Election, Tehran and other cities have seen the largest street protests and rioting since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Supporters of reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, upset at their announced loss and suspicions of voter fraud, took to the streets both peacefully and, in some cases, violently to vent their frustrations. Iranian security forces and hardline volunteer militia members responded with force and arrests, attempting to stamp out the protests - meanwhile, thousands of Iranians who were happy with the election outcome staged their own victory demonstrations. Mousavi himself has been encouraging peaceful demonstrations, and called for calm at a large demonstration today (held in defiance of an official ban), as Iran s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has just called for an official inquiry into accusations of election irregularities.

FiveThirtyEight Politics Done Right

A most strange storyline has emerged with regard to the provincial vote totals for the Iranian election. Around 1600 GMT Sunday, the ministry of Interior released the official vote totals by province. As others have mentioned, by law candidates have three days following voting to contest the result, before the final totals are approved by the Supreme Leader. As such, it is notable that both the aggregate totals and provincial totals were certified, approved and released before the three day deadline.

Political Lines Blurred for Iran Vote

In a profound departure from a quarter-century of politics grounded in appeals to religious duty, the presidential campaigns unfolding across Iran's capital betray not the slightest suggestion that this is a theocratic state. Hard-line conservatives are running as reformers. Reformers, after years of being thwarted by hard-liners, are running scared. And most ordinary Iranians are holding themselves aloof -- unmoved, they say, by a political transformation that many dismiss as largely cosmetic.
