Mousavi and Martyrdom
5 Feb 2010 | 2:38 pmHow the regime calculates the personal challenge. [ opinion ] Columbia University professor Hamid Dabashi considers Iran's Green Movement a civil rights struggle. Others contend that there is a revolution under way aimed at radically altering the country's political landscape. The latter opinion largely rests on the many parallels between today's protest movement and that of the Iranian Revolution that swept away the monarchy more than thirty years ago. Eight months after presidential candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi, and large segments of society decried the June 12th… -

The Ten Days That Changed Iran
3 Feb 2010 | 6:33 amFebruary 11 marks the anniversary of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which toppled the regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, put an end to monarchy in Iran, and led to the theocracy that maintains control to this day. The Revolution was part of the century-old struggle of the Iranian people to establish a democratic political system and the rule of law. In previous articles, I have described different aspects of that struggle's history (See Ashura, 16 Azar, and U.S. hostage crisis). In the present article, I focus on the last ten days of the Iranian monarchy. The ten-day period that began on…

Thursday marks Revolution Day, the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution; the commemoration of the martyrdom of the revered Shi'a saint Imam Hassan falls two days later, and two days after that marks the anniversary of the martyrdom of yet another honored Shi'a saint, Imam Reza. Normally, the Iranian government would encourage people to celebrate and lament in the streets on these days. Not so… -

Ali Fatemi: Iran's Awakening
19 Jan 2010 | 8:58 amEvents of the last few months in Iran indicate that her dark days are numbered. On December 24th, on the occasion of Ashura, the most holy day of Islam's Shiite branch, hundreds of thousands of Iranians poured onto the streets of major Iranian cities. Crowds angry at the regime buttressed the ranks of mourners commemorating the death of Prophet Mohammad's grandson. Seeking the safety, and the sanctity, of the occasion, they had come out to vent against the tyranny of a morally corrupt regime bent on its own survival at all costs. However, the regime was prepared to squelch the protesters, and… -
Opposition Slogans Written On Iranian Bills As Protest
13 Jan 2010 | 2:21 amDUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Facing hard-line forces on the streets, Iran's anti-government demonstrators have taken their protests to a new venue: writing "Death to the Dictator" and other opposition slogans on bank notes, while officials scramble to yank the bills from circulation. There's no way to calculate how much Iranian currency has been scribbled on or stamped with dissident messages in recent months in response to efforts to halt public demonstrations or choke off the Internet and cell phone messaging.

Juan Cole throws cold water on Iran nuke threat; police chief warns protesters

Cole called "bizarre" remarks made on Sunday by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who equated Iran and North Korea as both being "nuclear-armed" and "a real or a potential threat": The US intelligence establishment continues to doubt that Iran has or wants a nuclear weapons program. Tehran does have a nuclear enrichment program, which is permitted by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran allows United Nations inspections of it… -
Popularity contest: Do Iranians support reformists?

So I was intrigued by an event at the New America Foundation this afternoon, which presented a dozen pre- and post-election polls of Iranians -- most conducted by the University of Tehran. The polls aren't new (the most recent one was conducted in September), but it was the first time the data were collected in one place. And the findings, on the surface, don't seem encouraging for the reform movement in Iran. A… -
Iran: Nine people to be executed "soon"

The regime executed two people last month -- Arash Rahmanipour and Mohammad Reza Ali-Zamani -- and recently started trials for another 16, five of whom could face the death penalty. As we said over the weekend, the hastily-ordered executions are obviously intended to frighten demonstrators ahead of planned protests on Feb. 11, the anniversary of the founding of the Islamic Republic.Opposition… -

(They did this, in part, by declaring the term "democratic" verboten, a "Western style," and by banning opposition groups and purging universities. It was a real party.)Three decades later? The Revolutionary Guard is threatening violence against an opposition movement that has managed to defy the regime for nearly a year. The ostensible leaders of the movement, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, have called for a day of protest on… -

Rahmanipour's lawyer, Nasrin Sotoudeh, told the AFP that she had only met her client once, for a few minutes, and was denied the chance to participate in any of his court hearings.

More Empty Threats
9 Feb 2010 | 8:20 amReza Aslan sums up the pro-Green reaction to Ahmadi's "alarming" nuclear rhetoric from Sunday: These announcements are a joke; they cannot be taken seriously. Not only has Iran thus far barely managed to enrich uranium to 5 percent, it can hardly keep its one enrichment plant in Natanz—which took many years to build—up and running full time. The idea that Iran could build 10 more plants in a year while also figuring out how to enrich uranium to 20 percent is laughable. Ahmadinejad’s announcement is nothing more than a feeble attempt at nuclear brinksmanship, as the French… -

Marja is in the midst of a major poppy-growing region and so a center of narco-terrorism (the poppies are used to make heroin, and it is estimated that 40% of the drug trade goes to insurgents fighting the Karzai government).
