LONDON — The International Atomic Energy Agency, differing with a U.S. intelligence assessment, has presented evidence that Iran continued its nuclear weapons project.
Western diplomats said the agency has briefed its board of governors on information that relates to Iran’s nuclear program. The diplomats said documents, many of them provided by the United States and authenticated by IAEA, suggested that Teheran never ended its nuclear weapons program in 2003 — as asserted by the U.S. intelligence community. - Nationaler Widerstandsrat Iran – Aufruf zur Sanktionen gegen das iranische Regime

Die Filmszene Irans war auch in diesem Jahr auf der Berlinale vertreten. Die Faszination am iranischen Kunstkino scheint ungebrochen. Der ideologische Gehalt der Filme wird dabei gerne übersehen. Von Tobias Ebbrecht
Als vor zwei Jahren auf der Berlinale gleich sechs Filme aus dem Iran gezeigt wurden, protestierten im Exil lebende iranische Filmemacher gegen diese Entscheidung der Festivalleitung. In zwei offenen Briefen erklärten sie, die Filme dienten den »kulturellen Zwecken des islamischen Gottesstaates, sich auf der internationalen Bühne als moderat zu zeigen«. Der Regisseur Mansour Ghadarkhah kritisierte damals: »Den so genannten kulturellen Dialog kann man nicht als Ausrede vorschieben, denn ein faschistisches Regime wie das des Iran beherrscht auch diesen Bereich komplett. Dabei lässt es sogar einige ›Problemfilme‹ zu, um ein Alibi dafür zu haben, dass doch keine Zensur herrschen würde.« - csmonitor.com – Waiting for a US-Iran handshake
Iran’s diplomatic elite believe that the time has come to lead the region.
By Iason Athanasiadis
Tehran, Iran
Alireza is an unassuming 20-something Iranian. He works as a producer for Iran’s state broadcaster. But he is no ordinary Islamic Republic civil servant.
Alireza returned to Iran two years ago, after growing up in New York and studying at an elite Canadian university. His bilingual ability in English and Farsi, fluent Arabic, and good government connections will serve him well in the evolving Islamic Republic of the 21st century.
He is, ultimately, a symbolic face of Iran’s diplomatic future. And if Iran’s growing regional clout compels Washington years from now to offer Tehran allied status, Alireza could quite possibly be part of the handshake that confirms the deal.
Sitting in a plush traditional restaurant in Tehran’s upscale Vanak Square one rainy afternoon last month, Alireza, who preferred that his last name not be published, reflected on Iran’s regional rise. - NCRI – Iran: Studentshold widespread anti-government demonstration in Shiraz University
