2009-09-22 05:57:00 From the earliest days of Iran?s Islamic Revolution, its leaders were determined to acquire nuclear weapons and the missiles with which to deliver them. From the beginning, America was always identified as Iran?s greatest enemy, the ?Great Satan?, while Israel was called the ?Little Satan.?

Powerful Iraqi Shiite leader has died in Iran
(AP)
2009-08-26 14:39:00 AP - Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the scion of a revered clerical family who rode the rise of Shiite power in Iraq to become one of the country's most powerful political figures but was deeply distrusted by Sunni Muslims as an ally of Iran, died Wednesday at the age of 59.
Ollie North asked about Rex 84 during Iran Contra hearings - video
2009-08-23 10:43:00 This video from the Iran Contra 'hearings' shows Oliver North bristling and - pardon my French - clamming up his pie hole as Rep. Jack Brooks, a Democrat from Texas, questions him about his NSC work on the martial law provisions of FEMA to suspend the US Constitution and round up troublemakers during domestic emergencies of any kind which the government deems declarable as such.The problem is these jolly days, we don't know the difference between emergencies and trumped up, sexed up emergencies! What they call 'false flag ops' are perpetrated only abroad, never here in hallowed America...or are they? With Reagan on the lofty perch, came the auspiciously Orwellian year of 1984 when there appeared a plan named Rex 84. Almost as soon as Reagan was sworn in, he appointed Louis Giuffrida as head of FEMA. You'll hear the rest in the video, if you don't know it already. (And it was at 12:05 pm est on Jan 20, 1981 that Jimmy Carter says a secret agent whispered in his ear that the Ir...
Ramadan in Iran
2009-08-21 23:10:00 Today is the first day of Ramadan, the month in which Muslims fast from dusk until dawn. I've never been outside of the United States during Ramadan, and I'm excited to see what it's like in a Muslim country. During this month, Muslims are supposed to forge brotherhood, fight with their desires and refrain from the luxuries in life they usually indulge in. I hope this feeling of Islamic goodwill and forgiveness will spread around to appease the tense political situation, but I doubt the tensions will fall anytime soon. In other news, Obama released a Ramadan message. Although I couldn't see most of it due to the slow internet connection here in Iran, I'm sure it was a positive message....
Gender Relations in Iran
2009-07-29 12:18:00 Often, it's hard for people in the United States to comprehend gender relations in comparatively socially conservative countries like the Islamic Republic. In turn, this leads to an overall confusing situation in which faulty accusations are made and realities are disregarded in place of elitist criticism and crucial misunderstandings.As simple as the following statement may seem, it's fundamental to understanding Iranian social structure: Iran and the United States are different. They have different histories, religious beliefs, cultures, and social structures. So trying to judge the two very different countries by the same standard is just wrong.What Iranians want is popular sovereignty and the right to live their lives without being told by the West that they are inferior and medieval...
Concepts of Privacy in Iran
2009-07-20 17:36:00 Let's be honest: people are nosy in Iran. Not because they necessarily have bad intentions, but partly because they have nothing better to do. More convincingly, though, it's the role of the individual in Iran that is drastically different than in the United States.As Roy Mottahedeh writes in Mantle of the Prophet, in Iran "you had privacy only insofar as you were able to feel private in your mind." This becomes particularly more true in places like Babol where the population is small, banks close at 2, and news travels fast.In America we respect privacy and individualism; it's in our ideological creed. But in Iran, its more about duty, what others think of you, reputation, and perceptions. Most, if not...

Many things are rotten in Iran
2009-07-12 12:48:00 The West pays too much attention to Ahmadinejad?s rhetoric. In Iran’s hierarchy, he is nobody.

The supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, makes all foreign policy and national security decisions. Iran?s president is also powerless ...

War crimes: providing the means
2009-07-10 16:50:00 ?People or companies that conduct (international) trade... in weapons or raw materials used for their production, should be warned that ? if they do not exercise increased vigilance ? they can become involved in most serious criminal offences. It should be made clear to them that they will face prosecution and long-term prison sentences...?Court of Appeal The Hague, Judgment, 9 May 2007 Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands upheld the conviction of a Dutch businessman, Frans van Anraat, for being an accessory to war crimes committed by the Iraqi regime in the 1980s. It thereby confirmed in most regards a 2007 judgment by the Court of Appeal in The Hague, which had found Van Anraat guilty of being an accessory to a violation of the laws and customs of war for having 'intentionally provided the opportunity and means' for attacks with mustard gas carried out in 1987 and 1988. Between 1980 and 1988, Van Anraat had supplied Saddam Hussein's regime with at least 1...

Turmoil in Iran Simmering, Not Over
2009-07-07 20:06:00 Although news about Iran’s stolen election have fallen off the radar of most news outlets, things have not calmed down or been resolved. Not by a long shot. While the ruthless Basij and riot police were able to suppress the protests and prevent any new ones, the same discontent simmer beneath the surface ready to explode at any moment. If this does play out following the same time line as the Iranian revolution 30 years ago, it will go on for months and build momentum slowly. I’m still not convinced that it will however. The Islamic Republic has shown itself to be completely without mercy when it comes to internal challenges. There is no line they will not cross to maintain power. But it would seem that Rafsanjani has been busy in Qom. The Assembly of Qom Seminary Scholars and Researchers recently released a shocking statement (see below). Doonesbury Since this all began I kept a running tally of links to important articles, new developments and analysis. I’ve con...

2009-06-29 11:50:00 Democracy has never been served to the Iranian people and Mr Ahmadinejad, who calls himself a friend of the people, keeps denying “his friends” basic democratic rights, such as freedom of speech and democratic elections. Severe violations of human rights, force and repression, injustice, and corruption allied to a non-existing democracy, have been a trademark of this regime. Enough is enough: It’s time to stop shooting, spanking and arresting peaceful protesters and to free those already detained. APACHE supports Iranian People and their fight for freedom!

The Iran Controversy And The Importance Of Social Media Communications
2009-06-18 06:23:00 The 2009 Iranian presidential elections happened on 12th June this time around. Result: current president incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the election with 66% of the votes cast in favour of him and Mir-Hossein Mousavi got 33% of them. Not even 24 hours had passed when the dusk of 13th June saw the biggest unrest in Iran since 1979. Ahmadinejad was charged against electoral fraud and irregularities during the vote by his opponent and Iran soon turned into a war zone. The 300 plus angry crowd of 13th June turned into a swelling mob of thousands and the news spread to the entire world. In a desperate attempt to subdue the protests, most of the prominent sites like Facebook, YouTube, and foreign broadcasting websites were blocked. Soon to be followed were SMS, international calls and eventually all cell phone services were shut down; a complete information lockdown to be precise. But trickle of news has been pouring out to the world since then, mainly via the internet. Iranians have...

Tehran - another experience
2009-06-01 09:56:00 4am - plane touched ATKH airport. I wonder why emirates do not announce it as Ayatollah Khomeini airport but just as a Tehran airport. Well before a visitor gets a glimpse of Iran, all passengers are made to walk through a long corridor whose width is barely enough for one's girth and hand luggage. Either side of the corridor has a wall that stretches up to the ceiling. Only couple of emergency glass doors on the left side alleviates the fear of any stampede if some untoward incident were to happen. On either side of the walls lie protruding camera lenses. Rhythmic stamping of 400 odd feet in combination of click-clack of luggage caster wheels made me wonder if I was a part of some rebel group who was being taken for an execution at wee hours.In my previous visits to Iran, I did not encounter any problem with my visa but this time their computer did not have our names. That meant spending another hour at the window that would open and close by the whims of a visa issuer acro...
