It was to be expected. After the fruitless attempts of the Iranian leadership to identify a crack in the all-too-careful statements of Barack Obama, the search for an outside enemy that could distract people from Iran’s internal mess has yielded its result. We’re proud to announce that Satan version II (not as evil as Bush’s [...]

Elections In Iran are not far ahead, and, as usual, diplomacy is at work big time inside and outside Iran. Clearly, the name of the next presidents interests not only the Iranians, but also many other people outside the country.

Bisogna dare atto ai nostri politici iraniani di essere molto bravi nel braccio di ferro diplomatico con l’America.
Da un lato, il parlamento statunitense classifica le guardie rivoluzionarie iraniane (dette anche pasdaran) come un gruppo terroristico.
Risponde subito il Majlis (il parlamento iraniano), dove la fazione di Ahmadinejad ha la maggioranza, classificando nientemeno che la CIA come [...]
