In this Conflicted Conversation, Yeganeh Torbati, the Iran correspondent for the New York Times, discusses her excellent new book Stolen Revolution: Betrayal and Hope in Modern Iran. Yeganeh explains how: The 1979 revolution promised justice but created clerical authoritarianism. Islamic law was subordinated to preservation of the supreme leader. Institutions created to help the poor became engines of economic corruption. The IRGC became a military-economic oligarchy. Khatami-era reformism failed by refusing to challenge the constitutional source of authoritarian power. Ahmadinejad promised to overthrow corrupt elites but merely installed new ones. Rouhani promised economic normalization but enabled even greater corruption. The destruction of all sources of organized opposition left protesters exposed to overwhelming violence. Foreign powers encouraged expectations they did not possess the strategy or commitment to fulfil. Iranian society continues to resist socially and culturally, making the future unstable rather than settled.

In this episode, Alex unpacks one of the strangest regime-change stories imaginable: the reported Israeli-backed plan to reinstall former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during the opening days of the war with Iran. Why would Israel and the U.S. gamble on a man once known for Holocaust denial, anti-American rhetoric, and calls to “wipe Israel off the map”? Alex explores the theory that Ahmadinejad may not have been chosen despite his extremism—but because he could be controlled, leveraged, or used as an asset in a larger geopolitical gamble that quickly spiraled out of control.

O governo diz que quer ser reformista, agora é o o Tribunal de Contas que está contra. Israel recebeu de forma ignominiosa os ativistas das flotilhas, o que levou Luís Montenegro a sugerir a suspensão da cooperação comercial da União Europeia com o estado israelita. Xi Jinping recebeu Trump e logo a seguir Putin. O estreito de Ormuz continua fechado e o plano americano, com o apoio de Israel, de colocar Ahmadinejad no poder iraniano falhou, revelou o “The New York Times”.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has launched four ballistic missiles at the USS Abraham Lincoln as former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is reportedly killed in an airstrike on Tehran.

O confronto directo entre Israel e o Irão marca uma viragem na longa guerra na sombra entre os dois países. Segundo o investigador do IPRI-Instituto Português de Relações Internacionais e professor do ISCET-Instituto Superior de Ciências Empresariais e do Turismo, José Pedro Teixeira Fernandes, Israel procura travar o programa nuclear iraniano, enquanto os dois países violam o direito internacional. O conflito reflecte rivalidades estratégicas profundas e agrava a instabilidade na região. RFI: Como é que chegámos a este conflito militar directo entre Israel e o Irão? José Pedro Teixeira Fernandes: É um processo que, no fundo, se tem agravado nos últimos meses ou anos. Contextualizando a conflitualidade que hoje estamos a ver importa referir o seguinte. Até há cerca de um ano, ou um ano e meio, ou até um pouco menos, o que existia era o que se chamava uma guerra na sombra. Tratava-se de confrontos não assumidos abertamente entre o Irão e Israel, ligados fundamentalmente à enorme inimizade entre os dois Estados. Esta resultava de acções e também declarações, muitas vezes bastante agressivas dos dirigentes iranianos e da reacção de Israel. Nesse contexto, houve todo um conjunto de operações, desde sabotagens a atentados. No entanto, raramente víamos ali pistas que nos permitissem afirmar abertamente a autoria. Até aí sabia-se que havia uma guerra travada na sombra, mas ambos os lados não pareciam querer subir esse patamar. Tudo se começou a alterar gradualmente a partir do ataque a Israel em 7 de Outubro, que é um ponto de viragem óbvio quando vemos o que está agora a acontecer no Médio Oriente. O Irão, com os seus aliados (desde logo o Hamas, o Hezbollah, os Houthis e grupos e milícias pró-iranianas na Síria), julgou que tinha encontrado uma situação ideal para pressionar ao máximo Israel e causar o máximo dano a Israel. E, realmente, a convicção existente início do conflito, quando recuamos a finais de 2023, era largamente, a nível internacional, de que o Irão tinha sido um dos grandes ganhadores do ataque do Hamas de 7 de Outubro e que estava numa posição de força. Os acontecimentos do ano passado vieram gradualmente a alterar essa realidade e a percepção sobre ela. Há um primeiro momento de um confronto indirecto, em Abril de 2024, na sequência de um bombardeamento feito na Síria, em Damasco, que atingiu anexos consulares iranianos. Apesar de tudo, esse primeiro bombardeamento feito directamente, que quebrou as regras anteriores porque foi assumido, foi de certa forma um prenúncio. Mas a retaliação iraniana foi pré-anunciada, o que permitiu, também, uma preparação defensiva de Israel e dos seus aliados. Houve uma acção liderada pelos Estados Unidos que ajudou à intercepção dos mísseis e drones iranianos pela primeira vez, de forma assumida,  disparados sobre Israel. A partir daí a situação continuou a agravar-se. Tivemos em Outubro de 2024 novamente um confronto directo entre os dois Estados, muito mais violento do que o primeiro. E a situação deteriorou-se ainda mais, o que nos leva até hoje. Parte disto está relacionada, certamente - e provavelmente a parte mais importante -, com a forma como Israel conseguiu largamente anular os grupos pró-iranianos na sua envolvente regional. O Hezbollah é um caso muito claro. Também a Síria, com a queda de Assad, trouxe outra transformação muito significativa. Quanto ao Hamas, provavelmente neste momento apenas tem capacidades militares residuais e não poderá montar qualquer ataque de envergadura contra Israel. Aliás, a questão em Gaza é agora fundamentalmente um drama humanitário imenso da população palestiniana, não um problema de ameaça militar a Israel. Mas, neste ambiente estratégico, onde o Irão tem um programa nuclear avançado que não só para fins pacíficos - isso parece-me  claro, apesar  do  Irão fazer um jogo ambíguo à volta do respeito pelo direito internacional -, a questão palestiniana fica, mais um vez, na sombra. Isto levou Netanyahu a ver aqui uma oportunidade estratégica para avançar com a possibilidade de eliminar ou tentar eliminar o programa nuclear do Irão. O que nos leva até hoje e esta situação crítica que estamos a ver. É evidente que esta actuação de Israel é censurável do ponto de vista do direito internacional. Mas também é censurável a posição do Irão de, no fundo, estar na teoria a respeitar a legalidade internacional mas na prática a violá-la, infringindo, desde logo, as regras do Tratado de Não Proliferação de Armas Nucleares (TPI), embora de uma forma mais dissimulada. Indubitavelmente que um programa como o do Irão, com instalações nucleares subterrâneas defendidas militarmente - e outras mantidas secretas -, não é apenas para fins pacíficos. Assim, temos todo este cenário extraordinariamente crítico no Médio Oriente. Esta é uma guerra na sombra que existe há décadas, não começou na semana passada. O 7 de Outubro foi um ponto de viragem e talvez um pretexto para uma estratégia que Israel já tinha pensada, pergunto-lhe. Por que razão é que Israel vê o Irão como uma ameaça existencial? Qual é o projecto político de Benjamin Netanyahu? Porquê uma vitória não se limita ao campo de batalha? Claro, é um conflito - agora guerra aberta - com um longo e complexo historial. Penso temos aqui uma situação estratégica, como referia, estranha e curiosa ao mesmo tempo. Até 7 de Outubro e nos desenvolvimentos pelo menos imediatos, e utilizando aqui uma analogia com o xadrez, era o Irão que tinha uma estratégia de avanços no Médio Oriente e era o Irão que provavelmente imaginava poder dar, de alguma forma, uma espécie de xeque-mate a Israel, ou, pelo menos, colocar Israel numa situação particularmente aflitiva em termos de segurança e numa debilidade óbvia. Para isso, o Irão apostou numa estratégia, montada ao longo de vários anos, décadas até, de criar guardas avançadas no Líbano, no Iémen, em Gaza, na Síria e no Iraque. O que acontece é que a resposta de Israel, que também já estaria preparada, sobretudo no caso do Hezbollah, como vimos no ano passado, alterou a relação de forças existente. O que aconteceu com o Hezbollah e a forma como Israel conseguiu realmente eliminar militarmente as lideranças políticas do Hezbollah, certamente denota um plano que já existia há anos. Aí percebemos que Israel tinha feito uma preparação estratégica para esse cenário. O que parece também foi que as próprias contingências da guerra e os seus desenvolvimentos, tornaram, sobretudo o Primeiro-Ministro israelita Benjamin Netanyahu - um político que era relativamente prudente na prática, apesar de fazer sempre declarações muito contundentes e também agressivas - a assumir cada vez mais riscos. E isto também se liga, certamente, com a situação interna de Israel, porque a guerra também é uma forma de o governo de Netanyahu, que assenta numa coligação com partidos radicais de direita, se manter no poder. Há uma situação permanente de emergência. O próprio Netanyahu tem casos pendentes internamente e também no Tribunal Penal Internacional, que ajudam eventualmente a tomar este tipo de medidas mais arriscadas. Quanto à inimizade dos dois Estados tem um ponto de nascimento tão antigo quanto a actual República Islâmica do Irão. Até 1979, quando o Xá estava no poder, ambos eram aliados dos Estados Unidos. As relações eram normais e até de alguma proximidade estratégica. A partir daí, a revolução islâmica no Irão, que levou o Ayatollah Khomeini ao poder, assumiu uma dimensão religiosa e ideológica, passando o Irão a ver quer os Estados Unidos, quer Israel, como os seus maiores inimigos. O Irão, tal como o conhecemos nesta versão da República Islâmica, sempre olhou para Israel como o inimigo maior no Médio Oriente. Na terminologia da sua propaganda político-religiosa, é o pequeno Satã, sendo os Estados Unidos o grande Satã. Portanto, trata-se de uma hostilidade enraizada, de tonalidades religioso-políticas, que nunca se dissipou. Pelo contrário, teve até momentos de grande acentuação, como emergir da ambição nuclear do Irão, em especial durante a presidência de Ahmadinejad.   Quanto a tentar obter armamento nuclear, até se pode compreender que, do ponto de vista de um Estado como o Irão, que é xiita e mal aceite no Médio Oriente, maioritariamente árabe e sunita, se possa sentir ameaçado na sua segurança. Há também outros Estados - estou a pensar na Índia e no Paquistão -, que seguiram o caminho nuclear à margem do TPI. Israel é um outro caso, tudo indica, de um Estado com armas nucleares, precisamente por  se sentir num ambiente hostil e rodeado de inimigos. Mas o facto do Irão construir o programa nuclear sempre com ameaças dirigidas a Israel, as quais sobretudo durante a presidência Ahmadinejad (2005-2013), eram muito explícitas agressivas, toda essa retórica constante anti-Israel,  alimentou uma ideia, correcta ou incorrecta - estamos no domínio de percepções sobre intenções, mas num ambiente de desconfiança máxima - de que um Irão nuclear seria uma ameaça existencial e de que Israel se arriscaria ao desaparecimento com um Irão com armas nucleares.  Tudo isso leva-nos também ao ponto onde estamos hoje. Segundo alguns analistas, Israel leva a cabo uma limpeza étnica em Gaza, acelera a colonização na Cisjordânia, bombardeia o Líbano e a Síria com total impunidade, e quer redesenhar as fronteiras da região. Estamos perante uma mudança de era geopolítica no Médio Oriente. E pergunto-lhe: há risco de uma guerra regional ou as potências regionais e internacionais ainda procuram evitar uma conflagração total? O risco existe, e agora acentuou-se, mas apesar de tudo até agora tem sido gerido. Mas em relação à questão que me coloca, acho nós temos de distinguir as diversas situações onde Israel está envolvido. Há casos de conflitos mais convencionais, a intervenção militar de Israel na Síria ou no Líbano, apesar de o Hezbollah não ser propriamente o Estado libanês e já ser um produto da anomalia do Líbano - um Estado que, na realidade, teoricamente tem um governo e um exército, mas, na prática, quem detinha o maior poder era o Hezbollah. Quanto à Síria, estava em guerra civil, mas Assad parecia ter reconquistado o controlo do poder no país, embora se soubesse, também que continuava uma luta interna de facções e não controlava todo o território. No final de 2024, acabou por ocorrer a queda Assad, muito pelo enfraquecimento do Hezbollah (e do Irão) e também pela diminuição da presença da Rússia no país devido à guerra na Ucrânia - aqui vê-se a interligação dos assuntos. Outra questão é Gaza. Obviamente que Gaza é um problema  maior, envolvendo o crónico conflito de Israel com os palestinianos, tendo ainda conexões com os conflitos anteriormente referidos. Gaza mistura razões objectivas de necessidades de segurança israelitas - como o ataque do Hamas de  7 de Outubro mostrou - com  ambições territoriais, nada compreensíveis ou aceitáveis. Ou seja, aí fica claramente a ideia de que Israel acabou por ir longe demais, em termos de uma operação que já nem se percebe muito bem qual é o  objectivo e valor militar, e que está a provoca uma imensa catástrofe humanitária e sofrimento dos palestinianos. É verdade, como referido, que todas estas situações têm ligação entre si, não são peças soltas ou isoladas. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, para uma adequada análise, não podemos, eu diria, “meter tudo no mesmo saco”, como se estivéssemos no mesmo plano de confrontação militar. Agora, tudo isto levou Israel e em particular Netanyahu, o governo de Netanyahu, a ver aqui uma oportunidade de reconfigurar as relações de força no Médio Oriente a seu favor. Isso parece-me claro. Libertou-se da ameaça do Hezbollah, pelo menos temporariamente, no Líbano. Quanto à Síria, está a tentar recuperar da guerra civil e tem outras preocupações maiores que não são o Estado de Israel. Além disso, Israel também eliminou grande parte das capacidades militares do exército sírio. O Hamas em Gaza está numa posição também militarmente muito fraca. Os Houthis no Iémen vão mantendo alguma capacidade de causar alguns danos e perturbação, mas também não têm o poder de infligir danos militares de envergadura a Israel. Tudo isto, conjugado com a presença de um Presidente nos Estados Unidos que é um apoiante forte do Estado de Israel, como é Donald Trump, embora se perceba, também, que não há propriamente um encaixe perfeito nas linhas de actuação de ambos no Médio Oriente, cada um tem a sua agenda própria. Mas isto levou Netanyahu, conjugando também as circunstâncias internas que referi, a assumir riscos muito mais elevados e a convencer-se de que pode reconfigurar as relações de poder no Médio Oriente à sua maneira. Esta escalada de conflito vai enfraquecer ainda mais o Hamas? O Hezbollah está mais enfraquecido. Este pode ser o golpe de misericórdia no Hamas? Pode, mas, sobretudo, mais do que enfraquecer o Hamas, eu diria que, mais uma vez, os palestinianos ficam completamente perdidos nesta conflitualidade do Médio Oriente. Um dos efeitos laterais desta guerra aberta entre o Irão e Israel foi secundarizar o problema de Gaza, bem com o as conversações que existiam ao nível internacional para levar à criação de um Estado palestiniano. Portanto, existindo um conflito militar aberto entre Israel e o Irão, ainda por cima envolvendo um programa nuclear, o problema de Gaza passa para segundo plano. Não é a primeira prioridade política da diplomacia no Médio Oriente.  O Hamas também é um perdedor, mas tudo dependerá do resultado final deste conflito entre Israel e o Irão, que ainda é incerto. Quanto Irão - apesar dos elevados danos que sofreu provocados pelos ataques israelitas -, devo aqui também dizer, está a mostrar, provavelmente, capacidades de retaliação que eventualmente terão também surpreendido os israelitas. Embora, indiscutivelmente, o audacioso ataque israelita da passada semana tenha surpreendido, e de que maneira, o Irão, pelo menos no dia inicial, pelos efeitos devastadores que teve. Mas o resultado desta guerra também é ainda incerto, não é? A ser assim, diria que, mais do que o Hamas, os palestinianos serão, mais uma vez, perdedores maiores nisto.

EL ISLAM ESPERA VOLVER A SU MESÍAS   En 2005, el presidente iraní Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fue llamado ante el Consejo de Seguridad de las Naciones Unidas para explicar su determinación de desarrollar armas nucleares. Terminó su discurso con esta oración a Alá: “Te ruego que aceleres el surgimiento de tu último depositario, el prometido, ese ser humano perfecto y puro, el que llenará este mundo de justicia y paz”. El “prometido” en la oración de Ahmadinejad era una referencia al Duodécimo Imam, una figura en la enseñanza chiíta que es paralela a la figura de Al-Mahdi en la enseñanza sunita. En esencia, ambos títulos se refieren al mesías islámico que aún está por llegar. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xos-french-diguez/message

One of the major catalysts behind Palestinian protests in recent weeks were the threatened expulsions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem, which Israeli settlers are trying to take over via a court case. *) Afghan forces launch operation to recapture Taliban-held district Afghan security forces have mounted an operation to recapture a key district that the Taliban seized just before a three-day ceasefire. Taliban insurgents killed and captured Afghan soldiers, forcing troops to retreat from Nerkh district, which is close to the capital Kabul.

Les Iraniens célèbrent ce samedi leur Nouvel An, Norouz. Une fête gâchée par le Covid-19, mais aussi par la situation économique désastreuse. La monnaie a fortement chuté par rapport aux devises étrangères. L’inflation a explosé, la population a donc dû réduire ses achats les plus élémentaires pour les fêtes et la colère gronde. De notre envoyée spéciale à Téhéran, Une file immense s’est formée à l’extérieur du marché Qezel Qaleh en plein centre de Téhéran. Ici on fait la queue devant un camion frigorifique pour acheter du poulet congelé. Leila, coiffée d’un voile coloré, a du mal à garder son calme. « Pour un mauvais poulet congelé à 17 000 tomans le kilo, on attend depuis une heure ! Vous croyez que ça me fait plaisir d’avoir laissé mon travail et ma vie pour faire la queue juste avant le Nouvel An ? » Pour ce Nouvel An, pas de poisson traditionnel sur les tables iraniennes. Avec l’explosion des prix, la population peut tout juste acheter du poulet, à moins d’un euro le kilo. Et s’il y a du monde sur ce marché, c’est que les prix sont deux fois moins chers qu’ailleurs, ils sont subventionnés par l’État. « L'économie est en ruine » Une dispute éclate dans la file d’attente. Qui est responsable de la flambée des prix en Iran ? Pour Keramat Saidi, fervent défenseur du régime, c’est tout vu. Ce sont les Occidentaux. « C’est à cause des grandes puissances, la République islamique n’y est pour rien. Ça fait 40 ans qu’on subit des sanctions », soutient-il. Mais la plupart les autres clients ne sont pas d’accord. Ils accusent les dirigeants iraniens de mauvaise gestion comme Shanaz, 60 ans. « Les sanctions américaines n’ont rien à voir avec du poulet qui est produit ici ! Les loyers sont en hausse, il y a des problèmes financiers, l’économie est en ruine. Ce sont les mollahs pourris qui nous gâchent la vie ! », s'exclame-t-elle. L'espoir d'un changement qui s'est envolé Sepideh, une institutrice à la retraite, s’est déplacée difficilement, pour acheter du poulet, elle trouve la situation humiliante. « C’est la misère. Pour les personnes âgées est-ce que c’est décent de venir faire la queue ? Pour notre malheur, ici, nous ne vivons pas bien, et on ne peut pas partir à l’étranger », déplore Sepideh. Ces Iraniens ne croient pas à un quelconque changement. Des élections présidentielles ont lieu dans trois mois en Iran, mais à quoi bon voter s’interroge Shanaz. « Ça nous apporterait quoi de voter ? Ahmadinejad qu’est-ce qu’il a fait ? Et Rohani ? Qu’est-ce qu’ils ont fait pour nous ? Ça a toujours été comme ça. Nous sommes tous dans une situation difficile, et en colère. Quand pourrons-nous protester ? Jusqu’à quand doit-on subir ça ? 42 ans, ce n’est pas assez ?! », s'emporte Shanaz. Quarante-deux ans après la révolution islamique, ces Iraniens dénoncent une situation catastrophique dans le pays. Le passage à la nouvelle année n’est pas vraiment porteur d’espoir.

La présentation de l'émission : Les conflits qui agitent le Proche-Orient n'en finissent pas et leur actuelle médiatisation massive n'aide paradoxalement pas à en saisir la véritable teneur. En dévoilant des informations souvent passées sous silence et les logiques profondes qui les animent, une voie méconnue, celle de l'Axe de la Résistance, vous permettra peut-être d'élucider des questions restées jusqu'ici sans réponse.

Un escenario futuro para el Lugar del Juicio Final, el Medio Oriente. ¿Estamos en camino a un escenario de fatalidad? ¿Cuáles son los posibles escenarios para el Cercano Oriente en el futuro? La tensión en Oriente Medio está aumentando de nuevo, ya que las decisiones políticas tanto en Estados Unidos como en Irán están siendo tomadas por los neoconservadores. "Ambos lugares tienen idiotas a cargo", afirma el coronel Lawrence Wilkerson. Y el escenario de las armas de destrucción masiva ha sido montado de nuevo, esta vez para Irán. Se están realizando planes de ataque y se están considerando ataques preventivos. Backlight presenta una visión ominosa del futuro sobre Oriente Medio, el lugar del juicio. Para 'Endgame', la directora Marije Meerman ha recogido opiniones y actitudes de los Estados Unidos, Israel e Irán sobre el futuro cercano de Israel. ¿Podría la posible retirada estadounidense de Irak anunciar la destrucción de Israel? ¿Y las posturas pro-israelíes de los candidatos presidenciales afectarán sus posibilidades? ¿Cómo va a repensar la política exterior estadounidense en la región? Backlight habló con: Martin van Creveld (historiador militar israelí), Tony Judt (historiador británico), Brigitte Gabriel (emigrante cristiano libanés), Lawrence Wilkerson (ex jefe de personal de Colin Powell), Etou Keret (escritor israelí), Anoush Ehteshami (Científico político británico-iraní) y Richard Perle (neoconservador estadounidense). Este episodio también cuenta con Ahmadinejad, el pastor John Hagee y Barack Obama en un intento de ilustrar las líneas de frente a una posible Tercera Guerra Mundial. ¿Podría la creciente tensión con respecto a la escalada del conflicto conducir a una profecía autocumplida?

Our first guests look at soiltary confinement through the lens of Sarah Shourd's play The Box, at Z-Space through July 30. Sarah is joined by Jerry Elster, consultant: Jerry Elster is the Healing Justice Coordinator for American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). He is also a formerly incarcerated person. He has a in forensic psychology. He is pursuing a doctorate in forensic psychology. He has worked in the field of Mentoring, Substance Abuse Counseling, Restorative Justice, and Advocacy. He serves on the advisory board for Oakland & the World, a venture to aid formerly incarcerated people and those facing employment challenges to gain cooperative economic advancement by becoming owners of their own businesses. He is a member of All of Us or None, a movement-led organization that advocates for the rights of prisoners and their families. Jerry's trials have taught him how essential it is for people to speak and be heard in their own voices. He believes that, people without a voice are a people without hope. His goal is for human and civil rights for everyone regardless of origin or prior arrest history: http://www.afsc.org/content/jerry-elster Sarah Shourd is an author, prisoner rights advocate, Contributing Editor at Solitary Watch, and a Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley—currently based in Oakland, California. Sarah was held as a political hostage by the Iranian government from 2009-2010. Sarah was held incommunicado in solitary confinement for 410 days before being released, without a trial or any evidence shown against her, by President Ahmadinejad on “compassionate grounds,” a move designed to ease international pressure against the Iranian government: We close with a conversation with Chaz Shermil & Kimba Daniels, cast in Katori Hall's Hurt Village, up through Sunday at Ubuntu Theatre Project in Oakland. 

In Iran, It is not just Ahmadinejad who slams homosexuals, many people also deny homosexuality or know very little about it. So how does one family cope when they realise their daughter is gay? This is the story of the collective struggle of a supportive and close-knit family, who are trying to find a solution for this "crisis", each in their own way.

After 8 years of Ahmadinejad, Iran's clerical leaders have tried minimize controversy in tomorrow's presidential election. But political opposition may rise to the surface.

On today's show, a look at the parallels between the Purim Story in ancient Persia and what is going on today in modern-day Iran and Israel...What is the same, and what is different... VERY different, including highlights of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to AIPAC in America this week...Purim revisited?...Never again!!! Plus...The beauty of Purim in Israel...The Purim Holiday like you've never, ever experienced it in the diaspora...This should make you yearn to return home to Israel from exile... Also...Wealth in Israel...Multiple surprising reports about the meteoric growth of wealth in the tiny Jewish State... All this and more on The Marty Roberts Show

This is a supplemental episode of our podcast series, “The Podcast for Social Research.” In this episode, we have an informal conversation between one of our fellows, Soraya Batmanghelichi and myself (Ajay) about the situation within Iran after the controversial 2009 re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In this conversation, we discuss the current political situation in Iran, a bit of history, the status of the “Green Movement” and the women's movement in Iran today, and the role of new (and old) technologies in all of these. There's even a bit about the strange, contemporary, and co-producing transmission and feedback of discontent between the Green Movement, the Arab Spring, and even Occupy Wall Street. Occasionally, you'll hear us talk strangely around, under, and sometimes completely edited out concerning certain subjects that were deemed potentially too sensitive. We hope you understand. For more info please see our website. 

When Iran makes the news it is often that country's flamboyant and provocative president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who finds himself under the spotlight. But the man who wields real power in Iran is not Ahmadinejad, nor was it any of his predecessors as president. Instead it is the man who has served as the head of the country's religious structure since 1989, the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.The Ayatollah owes his rise to power to two men - his predecessor as Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the previous president, Hashemi Rafsanjani. Ayatollah Khamenei has been a cleric for most of his life, beginning as a religious scholar in the city of Mashhad at the tender age of 11. He served several terms in jail as a result of his religious convictions during the secular dictatorship of the Shah. His rise to power began with the revolution of 1979 that turned Iran into the Islamic Republic. Khamenei became, first president, a post with relatively little power, and his election as Supreme Leader after the death of Khomenei was a surprise to all. Many believe this was engineered by Rafsanjani to allow Rafsanjani himself to remain in control.But Khamenei has gradually made himself the most powerful man in Iran - and he's done so by recruiting the Revolutionary Guard to his side. There are those who say that far from a religious dictatorship, Iran is in fact a military dictatorship. But Ali Khamenei is 72 and with 70 per cent of the Iranian population having been born since the revolution, it's not clear that the post of Supreme Leader will survive his death.Producer TIM MANSEL Presenter JAMES REYNOLDS.

The rescue of 33 miners in northwestern Chile is going well.  We hear how it was put together, what the miners face in the future and much more. Also, Ahmadinejad gets a hero's welcome from Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon. On Reporter's Notebook, does "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" have a future?

Åt vilket håll går Iran? Är kompromisser möjliga, och vad vill den gröna oppositionsrörlsen? Möt den iranske diplomaten som hoppat av i protest mot regimens agerande och aktivisten i Iran som bara väntar på att bli gripen, hör om manifestet som listar oppositionens minimikrav. Analys och kommentar från Stockholm och Washington. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Högtids- och sorgedag Ashura den 27 december blev en våldsam dag. Den gröna oppositionsrörelsen visade att den inte har försvunnit och inte har låtit sig skrämmas. Minst åtta människor dödadess, bland dem en brorson till Mir Hossein Mousavi, den förlorande kandidaten i vad oppositionen kallar det stulna presidentvalet i somras. Och överallt, på alla bilder syns höjda armar med mobiltelefoner, demonstranterna filmar och skickar ut bilderna över nätet och världen. I studion: Said Mahmoudi, professor i internationell rätt vid Juridiska fakulteten i Stockholm. En vändpunkt säger många om Ashura och för den iranske diplomaten Mohammed Reza Heydari blev det sut det. Han var stationerad i Oslo och hade redan på julafton lämnat in sin avskedsansökan, men när han såg bilderna från Teheran den 27 december valde han att gå ut offentligt med sitt avhopp. När han sen intervjuades av norska NRK blev hans avhopp en världsnyhet. Ytterst få journalister har fått tala med Heydari efter det, men Taher Jambarsang på SR Internationals persiska redaktion lyckades få en intervju. Efter Ashura har en ny arresteringsvåg svept över Teheran - och det är tydligt att människor är rädda. När vi sökte kontakt med aktivister och demonstranter inne i Iran var det ingen som vågade låta sig intervjuas per telefon - men till slut kom Konflikts Ira Mallik i kontakt med en kvinnorättsaktivist i en stad några timmars bilresa från Teheran. Vilken stad vill hon inte att vi berättar och hon vill heller inte framträda med namn. Zari, som vi kallar henne, berättar om arresteringar och övergrepp mot protesterande och personer som uppfattas som oliktänkande, själv går hon nu hemma och väntar på att när som helst bli gripen. De senaste veckorna har det författats flera manifest med anspråk på att formulera åtminstone minimikraven för hur Iran bör förändras. Mir Hossein Mousavi, en av ledaregestalterna för oppositionen lade fram en fempunktsplan på nyårsdagen. De punkterna fanns sen med i det manifest som fem högt ansedda intellektuella exil-iranier publicerade några dagar senare. Enligt Muhammed Sahimi, irananalytiker och professor i kemiteknik vid University of Southern California i Los Angeles, är det av stor betydelse att de här fem personerna som sinsemellan har en hel del olika åsikter har kunnat enas kring ett gemensamt dokument med minimikrav för en väg framåt. Daniela Marquardt ringde upp honom. Parvin Ardalan är journalist och en av initiativtagarna till en en kampanj där aktivister samlade in en miljon underskrifter till stöd för kvinnors rättigheter. För sitt arbete belönades hon 2007 med Olof Palme-priset, men den gången tilläts hon inte lämna Iran för att ta emot priset. Men i november 2009 kom hon till Sverige. Hon understryker vikten av den demokratiska dialog som nu pågår bland olika protesterande grupperingar inne i Iran. Revolutionsgardet skapades efter revolutionen 1979 för att vara den islamiska revolutionens väktare och en motvikt mot den reguljära armén. Revolutionsgardets politiska inflytande i Iran har växt enormt sedan Ahmadinejad, som själv har varit gardist, blev president 2005. Och gardet har också enorm ekonomisk makt. Dess växande inflytande och makt har fått många irananalytiker att tala om ett slags smygmilitarisering av staten. Ali Alfoneh är en av dem. Han är verksam som forskare vid den konservativa tankesmedjan American Enterprise Institute i Washington, där Agneta Ramberg träffade honom i förra veckan. Den iranska exilen och dess roll är viktig vad gäller både utvecklingen i Iran och omvärldens hantering av Iran. Speciellt viktigt där är förstås USA. Washington är en stad full av tankesmedjor och lobbygrupper kämpar om den sittande amerikansk administrations öra, inte minst vad det gäller frågan om Iran. Bara några kvarter från Ali Alfoneh och American Enterprise Institute, en organistaion som står Bushadministrationens utrikespolitik nära, ligger National Iranian American Council, nationella iransk-amerikanska rådet, NIAC. Ordförande där är svenskiraniern Trita Parsi som har varit med i Konflikt förut. Agneta Ramberg träffade honom för att höra mer om den iranska exilen.

In Geneva tomorrow, the United States will sit down for direct negotiations with Iran for the first time in three decades. The US, France, Britain, China, Russia and Germany will push for greater transparency on Iran's nuclear program, and threaten sanctions if President Ahmadinejad refuses to cooperate. What can the West hope to achieve at the talks? Will Russia and China agree to stepping up the pressure on Iran? Also,  earthquakes and tsunamis strike Samoa, and pitching the Olympics. The Obamas take Chicago's case to Copenhagen. Sara Terry guest hosts.

Barack Obama is attempting to regain control of the debate on healthcare reform. His proposals drew criticism from conservatives at a series of town hall meetings in August, and Republican senators, once considered potential partners in bi-partisanship, have openly attacked the plan. Guest host Sara Terry considers the prospects for reform, the President's strategy in his speech to Congress next week, and whose support he'll need to win. Also, Iran's parliament approves President Ahmadinejad's cabinet, and a look back at Teddy Kennedy -- in his own words.

Iran's President Ahmadinejad has been sworn in for a second term. We look at the political, economic and diplomatic obstacles he'll face in the next four years. Also, a high-profile assignment has Bill Clinton back on the world stage. What are the implications for Kim Jong Il, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton?

Forget about being labeled as "soft on crime," states all over the country are cutting back on prisons. A 20-year crackdown has led to a $100 billion financial shortfall.  Are there cheaper alternatives that still protect public safety? Will the crisis lead to reform? Also, Iran's Supreme Leader endorses Ahmadinejad, and the remains of a American combat casualty have been identified--18 years later.

Women's Magazine  will look at the struggle of Women in Iran.    We will talk with York University Sociologist, Haideh Moghissi about the Iranian women's struggle for Equality in the aftermath of the 1979 revolution, the challenges they have faced and the strategies they have devised to reform the discriminatory laws against women.   And we will talk to  Malihe Razazan of KPFA's voices of the Middle East and North Africa  about  women's roles in the ongoing mass protests challenging the outcome of June 12th presidential election that handed president Ahmadinejad a second term. And we will hear Jovelyn's World, the Women's Community Calendar and information about the upcoming LSB election. The post Women´s Magazine – June 29, 2009 appeared first on KPFA.

In Iran, recent weeks have seen a surprisingly hard fought election campaign. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad faces a strong challenge from reformist Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who's broken with convention by campaigning with his outspoken wife at his side. Will urban women and youth tip the scales towards Mousavi, or will hardliners and the rural poor help re-elect Ahmadinejad? How will the outcome affect politics in the region and relationships with the West? Also, President Obama calls Green Bay a model for healthcare reform, and evidence emerges about what went wrong for Air France Flight 447 over the Atlantic more than a week ago. Sara Terry guest hosts.

The Obama White House has created an energy "czar," an urban affairs "czar," an economic "czar" and a health "czar."  There's been talk of a car "czar." Today, the President said he's appointing a "czar" to deal with cyber-security. We look at the problem and ask if a new "czar" is the best way to find a solution. Also, GM's possible deal with Canadian auto parts maker Magna, and politics and potatoes in Ahmadinejad's Iran.

Presidents Bush and Ahmadinejad at the same place at the same time. We look at the United Nations 62nd General Assembly session. On Reporter's Notebook, is the US ready for a comeback of nuclear power? 

The United Nations has cracked down and Iran has snapped back. Will sanctions have any effect? Plus, the US military reaches another grim milestone in Iraq, and the assault on the middle class of America and why one author says the Democrats should pay attention. Sara Terry guest hosts.
