Iranian Alert -- December 14, 2003 -- IRAN LIVE THREAD

The Iranian Student Movement Up To The Minute Reports ^ | 12.14.2003 | DoctorZin

The US media almost entirely ignores news regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Tony Snow of the Fox News Network has put it, “this is probably the most under-reported news story of the year.” But most American’s are unaware that the Islamic Republic of Iran is NOT supported by the masses of Iranians today. Modern Iranians are among the most pro-American in the Middle East.

There is a popular revolt against the Iranian regime brewing in Iran today. Starting June 10th of this year, Iranians have begun taking to the streets to express their desire for a regime change. Most want to replace the regime with a secular democracy. Many even want the US to over throw their government.

The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movement in Iran from being reported. Unfortunately, the regime has successfully prohibited western news reporters from covering the demonstrations. The voices of discontent within Iran are sometime murdered, more often imprisoned. Still the people continue to take to the streets to demonstrate against the regime.

In support of this revolt, Iranians in America have been broadcasting news stories by satellite into Iran. This 21st century news link has greatly encouraged these protests. The regime has been attempting to jam the signals, and locate the satellite dishes. Still the people violate the law and listen to these broadcasts. Iranians also use the Internet and the regime attempts to block their access to news against the regime. In spite of this, many Iranians inside of Iran read these posts daily to keep informed of the events in their own country.

This daily thread contains nearly all of the English news reports on Iran. It is thorough. 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. The news stories and commentary will from time to time include material from the regime itself. But if you read the post you will discover for yourself, the real story of what is occurring in Iran and its effects on the war on terror.

I am not of Iranian heritage. I am an American committed to supporting the efforts of those in Iran seeking to replace their government with a secular democracy. I am in contact with leaders of the Iranian community here in the United States and in Iran itself.

If you read the daily posts you will gain a better understanding of the US war on terrorism, the Middle East and why we need to support a change of regime in Iran. Feel free to ask your questions and post news stories you discover in the weeks to come.

If all goes well Iran will be free soon and I am convinced become a major ally in the war on terrorism. The regime will fall. Iran will be free. It is just a matter of time.

Ah, this is a great day, isn't it Doctor? Now the Iranian people have the momentum on their side. What do you suppose they will do with it?

According to their site IRNA broke the news on Saddam:

Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein captured

With the arrest of Saddam, the source financing terrorists has been destroyed and terrorist attacks will come to an end. Now we can establish a durable stability and security in Iraq," he said.
General mood across several Iraqi cities, including Baghdad, were festive, with people seen firing volleys in jubilation as well as dancing on the streets.
The news, first wired by IRNA, was given widespread coverage by world media and received mostly with warm welcome.
Several Brussels-based journalists phoned the IRNA bureau Sunday to congratulate the Islamic Republic News Agency on its world wide scoop on the arrest of Saddam Hussein.
"It is a very big and historic scoop for IRNA. All the world media acknowledged it," said one correspondent.

"Yet another rumor was that a Kurdish group had managed to drug the kebabs sent to Saddam in his hole, which explains why the dictator appeared somewhat dazed when captured.

But that rumor, too, did not fly. There was no way that any Kurdish group would organize a take-away kebab service for Saddam."

LOL!! Might be the funniest thing I've read from Mr. Taheri.

Iran has Saddam's Enriched Uranium?

Mansoor Ijaz on Bill O'Reilly's Sunday's O'Reilly Factor claimed that the US now has an Iraqi who claims to now where Saddam's WMD is located. This source was waiting for either proof of Saddam's death, capture or relocation of his family in a third country.

Ijaz claimed that this informer had transported enriched uranium into Iran. This informer is alleged to now have cancer as a result of this contact with enriched uranium.

He also claims to know of its transport into Syria and the location of a secret lab in Iraq.

Ijaz predicted that prior to Bush's state of the union we will have found the long sought after WMD's.

Is there an article yet, from FOX, confirming this? Ping me if you find it, please.

[DoctorZIn]

It was just reported on the broadcast. Look for print articles to follow tomorrow.

"Ijaz predicted that prior to Bush's state of the union we will have found the long sought after WMD's."

That would be fantastic! I hope it's true. Ijaz is usually very well plugged into such info.

[FairOpinion]

No article, but I also heard part of what Ijaz said -- nothing on the web about it.

Iran happy over capture of Saddam

IRIB English News
2003/12/14

Tehran, Dec 14 - Iran's Vice President Mohammed Ali Abtahi expressed satisfaction Sunday over the capture of Saddam Hussein, whom he described as a "criminal" who committed many crimes against the Iranians.

"I am happy they have arrested a criminal, whoever it may be, and I am even more happy because it is a criminal who committed so many crimes against Iranians," Abtahi told reporters in the first official Iranian reaction to the arrest.

US overseer Paul Bremer confirmed Sunday that Saddam had been captured alive on Saturday night near his northern hometown of Tikrit.

"The arrest of Saddam Hussein could reinforce stability in Iraq because it will weaken the morale of his supporters," Abtahi added.

Although Iran, which fought a bitter 1980-1988 war against Saddam's Iraq, constantly opposed the US-led assault on Iraq, it rejoiced at the Iraqi leader's ouster in April.

The Islamic Republic blames Saddam for hundreds of thousands of Iranians killed in the eight-year war, and says it was subjected to Iraqi chemical attacks.
