The U.S. House of Representatives is no longer planning to vote on the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act of 2009 this week

Well, there is concern that it might benefit hardline candidates in Iran's presidential elections this Friday. What do you think after reading this article?

Clip from IRI's official news channel - Tehran University political science professor criticizes the Iranian government's policy towards U.S.

This clip is very interesting...it's about seven minutes. The debate is in Persian with English subtitles. I have reviewed it twice with the subtitles and the translation is accurate.

This is a rarity on official state-run TV. Let me know what you think. I'm looking for your comments.

Just take a close look at these two pictures!

The caption simply reads:

"Oh how there are so many friends in captivity.
The ones we don't even know.
Or even know their names.
Oh how there are so many.

Wishing for Kaveh and Jelveh's freedom and so many others."

By the way, Saberi arrived on U.S. soil on Saturday.

End of Saberi's chapter in Iran

She left Iran today, first to Austria, then probably to North Dakota! She won't be back in Iran for a long time because of what she endured and her bitter experience at the end.

Expect to see her on your TV sets very soon doing interviews!!!

I stand corrected - Saberi is staying in Iran for a few...

...days, her father said. She also thanked her supporters, stating that other than spending time with her family and friends she has no specific plans right now.

Ahmadinejad's interview with Spiegel

Nothing new or earth shattering. Read the interview and judge for yourselves.
