Iran's honour and future

The resilience of Iran’s imprisoned students and journalists

18-Apr-2010 (2 comments)
“Unity” is a word that Iran’s hardline elite uses a great deal these days. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s televised address on 21 March 2010 on the occasion of nowrooz (Persian new year) was typical, in its reference to “the unity and solidarity of the Iranian nation”. The Iranian president’s rhetoric here is, in its brazen disregard of the country’s reality, at least consistent. This is the man who celebrated the fraudulent presidential election of 12 June 2010 - of which he was the chief beneficiary - as an example to “the world” (no less) of a “new humanitarian and true method of democracy” >>>

Less than two weeks after Iran announced its highly enriched uranium plans, the Israeli Air Force staged a ceremony in honor of the "operational acceptance" of new Heron TP (known internally as the Eitan) UAVs.

It's reasonable to assume that the ceremony's intended audience was a thousand miles away, undertaking preparations for National Nuclear Day>>>

پيکر معترض جامعه ی ايران دارد دوران گذار از مرحله ی شوک زدگی به مرحله ی عادی شدن را طی می کند

اين روزها، به نظر می آيد که سايه ی سرد و تلخی بر سر سرزمين مان، ايران، افتاده است؛ مثل سکوت وهم انگيزی که طبیعت پس از زلزله پيش می گيرد؛ سکوتی که در آن هم ترس هست و هم بی حالی. ديگر فرياد دلداری دهنده و شوق انگيز «نترسید! نترسيد ما همه با هم هستيم» شنيده نمی شود، ديگر از «با هم بودن» ها خبری نيست؛ ايميل ها ديگر رنگی از هيجان ندارد و تلفن ها زنگ اميدشان را گم کرده اند>>>
