IRAN-U.S.

No friend of ours

A U.S.-Iran strategic realignment would be undesirable

08-Oct-2009 (5 comments)
For the United States to align itself with a government such as the Islamic Republic of Iran would be to kick the opposition in the teeth. The Islamic Republic has shown that it is neither Islamic nor a republic -- in the elegant phrasing of Iran's respected "dissident ayatollah," Ali Montazeri. And now it is running scared. The regime is afraid to kill protesters, since doing so only inflames the opposition. At the September 19 Quds Day protests, it did not even arrest them, aware of how socially explosive the accusations of retaliatory prison rape have been. In contrast, protesters were bold enough to stand next to Ahmadinejad and shout "resign, resign" when he was interviewed on state television>>>

Some Success In Round One

The term "sanction" was never uttered in Geneva talks

08-Oct-2009 (one comment)
The European Union Foreign policy Chief Javier Solana at the end of his talks with Iran's negotiating team at Geneva, Switzerland on Oct. 1st reported Iran's readiness to allow the Inspector of the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit its recently declared uranium enrichment plant. The visit relieved the tension orchestrated by President Barack Obama and his European allies, President Sarkozy of France and Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain. Another progress was that the U.S. and other world powers agreed to process low-enriched uranium from Iran>>>

RETREAT

تغییر سیاست خارجی یا وقت‌کشی؟

چه انگیزه‌هایی باعث شده که رژیم در این مذاکرات تن به عقب‌نشینی بدهد؟

08-Oct-2009
عقب‌نشینی جمهوری اسلامی در مذاکرات ژنو البته و به ظاهر در مقیاس محدودی بوده است. موافقت با ارسال اورانیوم تغلیظ شده در حد 3 تا 5 در سد به روسیه برای تغلیظ آن تا 19.75 در سد، دعوت از نمایندگان آژانس بین‌المللی انرژی اتمی برای بازدید از تأسیسات تازه اعلام شده در قم، و گفتگوی مستقیم نمایندگان جمهوری اسلامی و آمریکا در حاشیه کنفرانس، ظاهرا گام‌های کوچکی در حل مناقشات هسته‌ای ایران با غرب بشمار می‌رود. ولی اگر به مواضع رسمی دولت ایران و رجزخوانی‌های چند ساله اخیر آقای احمدی‌نژاد توجه کنیم به وضوح دیده می‌شود که این گام‌های به ظاهر کوچک از یک چرخش فاحش رژیم جمهوری اسلامی در سیاست هسته‌ای و خارجی آن حکایت می‌کند>>>
