Dr. Z,
I have been following your dedication to the Iranian cause here on FR over the months now. Thanks for all you are doing. With out you this would have passed me by I am sure.
Time will tell if tonight we are on the cusp of history. I hope we are. Even if this is one of many battles before the overthrow of the Mullahs it is at the very least a quantum shift in the revolution. From the reports that I have seen tonight, defiance is open and the lines are much more clearly drawn.
I pray for success for those who fight for freedom in Iran. When they fight for freedom so intensely they are our brothers indeed.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
To: SusanTK
Thank you, but you are the smart one - chatting on line in a foreign language with us. My husband and I and our four kids went to Iran in 2002 and it was an awesome experience. I love the Persian people and I pray for your safety and success in your aspiration for freedom. If the mullahs fall, Iran will be an awesome ally for the Americans. What do you think? Could this be it? Are we going to see regime change in Iran soon? I sure hope and pray so. What do the Iranian people need from the U.S. to accomplish this goal? Thanks for your comments. Iran will soon be a real US ally in the world once again and Mullahs will soon fall, I am sure of it. We need the USA to support us mentally and press on the Mullahs to free Iran.

May freedom be won in Iran.

Hi, What do you think of Iran's Nuke plans?
To: F14 Pilot
Hi back at you. Well, I think IT IS DANGEROUS and MUST BE STOPPED.
To: Khashayar
If the US were to push for UN sanctions on the basis of Nuke violations, would this hasten the downfall of the current regime?
Or just end up hurting the Iranian people?

Bush meeting with U-N nuclear chief amid new standoff with Iran
March 16, 2004
KFOR News
White House-AP -- President Bush meets with the U-N's nuclear chief today amid new worries over Iran's nuclear program.
After a critical report from the U-N agency, Tehran suspended inspections of its facilities. That move has been denounced by the Bush administration, which thinks the Iranians are trying to build a bomb. A State Department spokesman says Tehran continues "a pattern of delay and deception and denial."
However, Mohamed ElBaradei (ehl-BEHR'-uh-day) -- head of the International Atomic Energy Agency -- says he thinks the Iranians know they have to come clean.
Also today, Bush is meeting with Ireland's prime minister, Bertie Ahern, to mark St. Patrick's Day. The two are expected to discuss an upcoming June summit in Ireland -- which anti-Iraq War protesters have vowed to target.

Iran's president says his key reforms plans defeated
March 17, 2004
SFGate.com
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- President Mohammad Khatami conceded defeat Wednesday on two bills meant to check the power of Iran's hard-liners, essentially acknowledging the failure of key pillars of his reformist presidential agenda.
One of the bills aimed to increase presidential powers in order to stop constitutional violations. The other sought to bar the Guardian Council -- a conservative oversight body -- from disqualifying parliamentary and presidential candidates.
"I withdraw the bills and declare that I have met with defeat," Khatami told reporters.

Major Breaking News from inside of Iran...
Watchers of Iran have long waited for the Oil Sector Workers to go on strike. It could quickly cripple the regime.
It is being reported by the ILNA (Iranian Labor News Agency)that approximately 500 oil sector workers have blocked the road between Khoramshahr to Ahvaz. They are reportedly in the second day of their strike.
This stretch of road is reportedly a critical because it most oil products must pass through this area in order to reach other areas of Iran (it is near their oil complex). They are calling on local people to join them in their strike.
Here is the report in Persian (I am told)

They are calling on local people to join them in their strike. This is good, like last summer, right? The students protested and then other groups joined.

Once Iran's largest port, Khorramshahr was almost destroyed during the Iran-Iraq War.
Ahvaz is about 100km north of Khorramshahr.
