Baluchestan and Iran
2008-04-08 20:06:00 IranVisitor recently took a trip to Baluchestan is a pretty traditional place compared to Tehran. Wherever we were received as guests women and men were strictly separated. I attended a wedding without even seeing the bride.When I saw women and girls in the streets they were often wearing black chadors loosely draped over outfits like these. But the black covering never fully hid the bright colours beneath. It was just one of so many ways that Baluchestan reminded me of India and showed me more clearly than ever that Iran is a diverse country and is essentially nothing without this diversity.Baluchis are not separatists by any means. The Baluchi people are a relatively new ethnic group and accept their position sandwiched between the two great civilisations of Iran and India. Baluchis from Pakistan seem to have no problem crossing the border into Iran where they find plenty of work and higher wages. Unfortunately, some of the lawlessness of Pakistan also makes it over to Iran and th...

Taking Pictures in Tehran
2008-02-19 08:52:00 The rallies to mark the anniversary of the 1979 revolution are an uncomfortable mix of festive gaiety and political posturing. Walking down "Revolution Street" towards "Freedom Square" there were people begging to have their photos taken. Every time I stopped to point my camera, passing groups would shout for me to look. Kids in camouflage gear and pro-Palestinian check scarves puffed out their chests and waved their flags more vigorously. At one point a group of about twenty-five men all lined up neatly and patiently for me. Best of all, one middle-aged lady sitting by the side of the road looked up at me as I passed – her eyes just begging me to take her picture. She smiled a sweet smile, beaming innocently and incongruously over a poster showing the frankly lascivious grin of Ayatollah Khamenei and a black and white "death to America" placard.Iran's biggest show of nationalist pride is actually one of the easiest times for a photographer (foreign or otherwise) to take people'...

Tehran peeved over Turkmenistan halt of gas supplies
2008-01-25 13:12:00 Iran has expressed dismay and anger over a move by Turkmenistan to halt shipment of gas, which till last year averaged 8.4 billion cubic meters a year. The Turkmenistan Government, however, claims that the shipments were stopped owing to technical problems, including Tehran's refusal to pay for the maintenance of the pipeline. According to reports in Iran, Turkmenistan President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov wants to cancel an agreement reached with Tehran last year for the supply of 14 billion cubic meters of gas a year at 75 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters. He wants to raise the price to 140 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters. The halting of Turkmen gas shipments has forced Tehran to reduce the amount of gas it is re-injecting into its oilfields and use most of the available gas for domestic purposes. Before the row, Iran was reinjecting about 80 million cubic meters of gas a day to maintain its current production of around four million barrels of oil a day from the Iran's ...

God mourns for the Imams?
2008-01-21 08:57:00 ?Faith in the imams cures cancer and makes the lame walk? I?ve seen it with my own eyes, you?ve all seen it too?The little man with the microphone. Unshaven, wearing a faded mismatched suit. Reminded me of snake oil sellers in Western movies. Do Iranians really hold beliefs so out of step with the given scientific mindset of the times? This was a speaker to the masses. He appeared to know his audience, and the 1000 toman notes were flowing.From what I can gather, the folk legends surrounding the Imams arise from more sources than one. There is the history. Events of the time are well documented and acknowledged also by Sunnis but this only provides the barest framework. Woven into the history are parables of the strength of Abol Fazl, the moral uprightness of Hossein, the justice of Ali ? superhuman qualities all, but imams are not messengers of God and nor are they miracle workers. This is one essential aspect of Shiism which suggests roots in something other than Islam.Maybe the k...

Parsi Cola
2008-01-07 12:23:00 The name ?Pars? is an expression of Iranian national pride which goes a long way back in history. The province of ?Pars? (now ?Fars?, capital Shiraz) was the centre of Iranian civilization during the time of Cyrus the Great. The name ?Persepolis? comes from the Greek rendering, ?Persis?. The name of Iran?s language, ?Farsi?, also derives from the same ? the change to ?F? came after the Arab invasion and reflects the lack of a ?P? sound in Arabic.Now, ?Pars Online? is Iran?s number one internet provider ? one arm of the business empire of former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani no less. The ?Peugot Pars? is an automobile based on the old Peugot 405 which is assembled in Iran. Parsa is a popular boys? name, Parisa for girls, and Parsi Cola is a home grown soft drinks brand which still does the rounds in reusable bottles all over the country.Iranian Music CDsBooks on IranGuide to TehranTagsIran Tehran

Raising the Costs for Tehran
2008-01-03 20:36:00 In the wake of the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran, questions are being raised as to whether sanctions and financial pressure remain a viable approach to changing Tehran's decisionmaking on its nuclear program. As evidence of this strategy's demise, critics point to the foundering attempts to negotiate a third round of UN sanctions against Iran -- sanctions that appeared imminent before the NIE's publication. While additional punitive measures by the UN are important and necessary, better...(read more)

The Case for Talking to Tehran
2007-12-27 20:19:00 by Dr. Trita Parsi Israel is in state of strategic paralysis. Its longstanding policy on Iran — depict Tehran as a global threat, pressure Washington to prevent Iran from going nuclear, and evade an American-Iranian dialogue — has been dealt a severe blow by the recently released National Intelligence Estimate. The Iran policy Israel has pursued to date must now be put aside and a genuine effort must be made to develop a Plan B that recognizes the new strategic realities in the region. A broad diplomatic opening between Washington and Tehran is increasingly likely, and it is a distinct probability that an American-Iranian deal will entail some level of enrichment on Iranian soil. Arab states can be expected to step up efforts at rapprochement in order to avoid lagging behind the United States in warming up to Iran, making a policy of containing and isolating Tehran more and more difficult to pursue. Israeli interests, therefore, would best be served by Jerusalem th...

Basij Week
2007-12-17 09:19:00 This poster is publicising Basij Week which I think has just ended. You may have heard something about the Basij in the news where you are. Human Rights Watch calls them a "parallel organisation" which pretty well sums up their relationship with the government - they're not under direct control but they provide a loyal pillar of support for it in times of need.In the past this has involved getting heavy with student protests and enforcing codes of conduct and dress in public places. I remember last year seeing a run-in between a group of Basijis and some young men out for a walk in the mountains. The boys were wearing tight clothes and "fashionable" beards that the Basijis found objectionable and they tried to "arrest" them. I didn't stay to find out what happened.(NB. The Basij are not responsible for the current minor crackdown on "un-Islamic" dress which is going on around Tehran.

I'd never had it over coals before, and I still prefer it boiled but it's a fun treat nonetheless especially on a cold autumn evening when you can gather around the hot coals and make small talk with other stray folk.Iranian Music CDsBooks on IranGuide to TehranTagsIran Tehran
