Justice in Exile - Iran - October 2010
Mohammed Mostafaei is the most famous political exile in the world. He's a lawyer and was forced to flee Iran after defending Sakineh Ashtiani from death by stoning. Still defiant despite exile, he speaks here. "If freedom of speech existed in Iran, I would never have left", Mohammed bluntly says. He was forced to flee his country six weeks ago for defending Sakineh Ashtiani, the allegedly adulterous woman sentenced to death by stoning. He has saved at least 50 people from execution in Iran, but finally could stand no more when the Iranian authorities threw his wife into a notorious Tehran prison. Now reunited, they both continue to campaign for Sakineh and the many others languishing in Iranian prisons. As Feresteh, Mohammed's wife says, "to move forward, our country must engage in struggle, the struggle of individuals like Mohammed". We can only hope that the struggle will pay off. SBS

US Senate approves Iran sanctions
On Monday The US Senate unanimously approved a package of new economic sanctions on Iran's oil sector just days ahead of a meeting in Baghdad between major world powers and Tehran. The House of Representatives passed its version of the bill in December and now the Senate and House must work out their differences in the legislation. The West suspects Iran is working to build a nuclear bomb and the sanctions are meant to strip Tehran of revenue by shutting down financial deals with Iran's powerful state oil and tanker enterprises. Iran has said its nuclear program is for civilian purposes. In a statement from Republican Senator Mark Kirk, a co-author of the bill, he states that the Senate put Iranian leaders on notice that they must halt all uranium enrichment activities or face another round of economic sanctions from the United States.

War With Iran A Terrible Idea - Here's Why
"Should Israel decide to launch a strike on Iran, its pilots would have to fly more than 1000 miles across unfriendly airspace, refuel in the air en route, fight off Iran's air defenses, attack multiple underground sites simultaneously — and use at least 100 planes.That is the assessment of American defense officials and military analysts close to the Pentagon, who say that an Israeli attack meant to set back Iran's nuclear program would be a huge and highly complex operation...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down, including the over-hyped nuclear capability of Iran and why it would be a bad idea for the US to get involved in another war. * www.nytimes.com www.washingtonpost.com Subscribe to The Young Turks: bit.ly Find out how to watch The Young Turks on Current by clicking here: www.current.com The Largest Online New Show in the World.

Three disputed Iranian Islands in the Persian Gulf-Iran Today-04-27-2012
On the 10th of April 2012 Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, visited Hormozgan as part of his 4th trip to all the provinces. The next day, he visited Abu Musa, a small island situated between two others, the Lesser Tunb and Greater Tunb. The United Arab Emirates wasn't happy about this, and recalled its ambassador for consultation. Even a friendly football match that was supposed to be held on the 17th of April between Iran and the UAE was canceled. On the same day the US foreign ministry spokesman Mark Turner said Washington supported the referral of the case to The International Court of Justice. He also called on Iran to agree to direct talks with the UAE on the matter. The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council held a meeting immediately after Ahmadinejad's visit, condemning it as a violation of the UAE's national sovereignty. Regarding the ownership of the Lesser Tunb and Greater Tunb, Iran says there is nothing to talk about, they belong to Iran, but as a good will gesture Tehran says it will sit down to talks to resolve any misunderstandings that might have occurred. Political wrangling between Iran and the UAE over the Lesser Tunb and Greater Tunb and especially Abu Musa, has increased in recent years. Since 1971 when British forces pulled out of this island, the Iranian government announced that Abu Musa is part of Iran, and asserted that claim by sending troops there. Iran says throughout history, these three islands were part of its territory, and remain so today <b>...</b>
