Iranian Alert -- October 8, 2003 -- IRAN LIVE THREAD PING LIST

The Iranian Student Movement Up To The Minute Reports ^ | 10.8.2003 | DoctorZin

[DoctorZIn]

The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movment in Iran from being reported.

From jamming satellite broadcasts, to prohibiting news reporters from covering any demonstrations to shutting down all cell phones and even hiring foreign security to control the population, the regime is doing everything in its power to keep the popular movement from expressing its demand for an end of the regime.

These efforts by the regime, while successful in the short term, do not resolve the fundamental reasons why this regime is crumbling from within.

Iran is a country ready for a regime change. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a nation. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary.

Please continue to join us here, post your news stories and comments to this thread.

Thanks for all the help.

Tehran informed sources tell Asia Times Online that some top advisers to Khamenei, like Hoseyn Shari'atmadari, an intelligence officer appointed as editor of the hardline evening daily Keyhan, Mohammad Javad Larijani, and Dr Ali Akbar Velayati, the former foreign affairs minister, are among those pressing the leader to take Iran out of the NPT and follow the path taken by communist North Korea in dealing with the IAEA.

follow the path taken by communist North Korea

Iran only offers "moral support" to terrorist murderers?

Impossible! Terrorists have no morals! It's the money, the training, the intel, the sanctuary, the C-4, and of course the missiles.

So Khatami says Israel is "too busy"? Keep whistling as you pass the graveyard of the Iraqi reactor.

History has a way of repeating itself for those who refused to get it the first time.

Ode to His Holiness The Global Arrogance

Humptysanjani sits on a wall
Humptysanjani shall have a great fall
All the ayatollah's camels
And all the ayatollah's men
Shan't put Humptysanjani back together again.

"While refraining to use the term nuclear weapons, Yahyavi said in a meeting with the Islamist group Ansar Hezbollah (The Followers of the Party of God) that possession of such weapons did not necessarily mean using them"

Oh, well I feel better.

[nuconvert]

"Instead of pursuing banned weapons underground as the ousted Iraqi leader did after the first gulf war, Iran -- by most accounts -- is pressing forward with a nuclear weapons initiative in full view of the world."

"By most accounts..."
How would they know?

Thanks for the heads up and education.

Unhelpful Iran?

Sources in the Bush administration say that Iran is putting pressure on Shi'ite members of Iraq's Governing Council to pull out of the newly created 25-member body. If this story is true, and the Shi'ites walk out, the council would be plunged into crisis. The story may, however, be US propaganda.

What Foreign Report has learned, however, is that Abdulaziz Hakim, head of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) and a member of the Governing Council, was in Tehran on 6 October meeting President Mohammed Khatami and the role of the council was up for discussion.

With little sign of elections, the Governing Council is trying to become a de facto government. The problem is that, because it was set up to represent all the different groups within the country, the Council has let the genie of ethnic competition out of the bottle.

The Governing Council is also considering a report on creating a new constitution. Many would like to see a strongly Islamic document with reference to Sharia law, but it is hard to see the USA agreeing. And the thorny subject of federalism is still in the pending tray.
