IRAN-U.S.
A U.S.-Iran strategic realignment would be undesirable
by Patrick Clawson
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

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