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 Americans 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.

Fascist regime, clubbing students in the street, vigilante attacks with machetes on dormitories.
Imprisonment, solitary, torture, beatings--uncounted deaths.
Memo to Powell and Armitage: get your heads out of your asses.
No deals with terrorists.
No deals with human rights abusers.
No deals with WMD outlaws.
Regime change--something is rotten in Tehran.

It was refreshing to see a news report that accurately reflects the situation in Iran.
I just wish more Americans could have seen this.
It is a good beginning.

Since the protests this summer, there has been a lot of news generated, much of it sobering. Every person who is exposed to just one piece of the puzzle that Iran has turned in to, has the opportunity to seek out more information. Kazemi's story garners sympathy for her son and then horror that the regime could kill her so brutally. I'm pleased that the story ended with him, and that he stated that the regime is guilty of his mother's death.
I look for any reaction that this piece garners.

Has anyone seen the followup broadcast to Forbidden Iran?
It is called Shahrbanoo and is about an American's experience with a housekeeper in Iran.
