2003: Iranian Roadmap
Kamangir | February 18, 2007 | Category Iran
Alef has provides a copy of the famous 2003 Iranian Roadmap, in which the IR offered literally everything the US wanted, including full transparency in the WMD program, decisive action against terrorism, help in Iraq, not helping any Palestinian group or Hezbollah, and accepting the two-state Israel-Palestine approach. In return, they asked Americans to not not to try to overthrow them, plus removing sanctions, dismantling the MKO, and help with peaceful nuclear technology. Any idea why it was rejected, and also its existence is denied? See the complete offer here.
Batebi in Coma
Kamangir | February 18, 2007 | Category Iran
Ahmad Batebi, who has spent the last seven years in the Evin Prison, underwent a serious spasm on Friday night and spent three hours in a Coma. According to the news, he was under fierce pressure from the prison guards who were confiscating his personal belongings, including a heater and also cookware. The new round of pressure on him is added to the fact that he is banned from pursuing his studies, including the fact that he is not allowed to meet with his adviser to finalize his thesis. He has also been threatened to be transferred to the criminals’ section.
The Recent Attack: Execution And “Fake” Photograph (Updated)
Kamangir | February 18, 2007 | Category Iran
1- Five days after the Zahedan incident, with one holiday in between, the IR rushed to try one of the individuals they arrested. Baztab reports that he will be executed tomorrow. Reportedly, he is Rigi’s cousin.
2- LGF, and others, claim that the picture supposedly proving US role in Zahedan blasts is fake. I should remind everyone that finding a handful of grenades and bullets is not so hard that you’d rather use Photoshop. By the way, in Zahedan Afghanistan is just on the corner, where American ammunition is available in the black market.
p.s. Not that I think that there is a direct link between Rigi and the CIA, but I don’t think the American administration would hesitate to pay a few thousand dollars to put the IR in an embarrassing problem. Having done that or not, I am sure they’ll make sure to remove the “Made in USA” tags from the boxes of ammunition. Any way, this story is cheaper than something which would be worth involving any genius idea, including tempered with photos. Believe me, I know the IR!
IR: Another Military Drill To Start Tomorrow
Kamangir | February 18, 2007 | Category Iran
