The Iranian “Plot” by ALEXANDER COCKBURN
Even by the forgiving standards of American credulity, the supposed Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the US is spectacularly ludicrous. Why would Iran want to kill the Saudi envoy – the mild-mannered functionary, Adel al-Jubeir? Continue reading

Pepe Escobar, "Luladinejad"
Brazil enriches uranium for its own nuclear energy program. No one is accusing Brazil of building a nuclear bomb. Brazil has been strongly against unilateral sanctions on Iran.

Everything You Know About Iran Is A Myth By Lawrence of Cyberia
There are some terms that people in Islamic and Western countries should never say to each other, because they confuse and inflame more than they clarify. The most obvious ones would be ‘jihad’, ‘crusade’ and ‘great satan’. All of them are used in somewhat innocuous ways by the people who utter them, but mean something… Continue reading

Iran's "Leftist" Don Quixotes By Bizhan Pouya
The unfortunate truth is that, in contrast to these “revolutionary” Marxists’ intimations and inferences, there really are no organized leftist or Marxist groups inside Iran rallying workers, students, or other sectors of the Iranian society. Contrary to such claims, I suggest that, since the 1953 CIA coup which toppled the democratically elected government of Dr.… Continue reading

Iran's Quiet Revolution: Mohammad Javad Jahangir's The Invisible Crowd By Mohammad Salemy

How Many Leftists Are "United for Iran"?
While a number of leftists have made impassioned pleas for solidarity with Iran’s Green Movement, (throwing themselves into an obligatory intra-left battle royal that has, alas, eclipsed any battle against the illegitimate authority of unelected clerics in Iran), most leftists still appear to find it — how shall we put it? — on balance inadvisable… Continue reading

Would MLK Back Iran's Protesters? By Rostam Pourzal
Combine Iran’s post-election turmoil with the controversy over the nation’s nuclear advances, and few Americans are likely to be unsympathetic toward the opposition movement there.
