According to the Iranian state media 10 people were hanged in the Evin prison of Tehran early this morning.
The woman, Fatemeh Pajouh, whom we reported about in the previous report, was convicted of murdering his husband who tried to rape her 15 years old daughter from a previous marriage.
On 3 December 2008, a group of “Iran experts” and scholars will be participating in a one day conference to debate the US policy toward Iran. This meeting, far from a usual experts’ gathering, is part of a broader campaign which aims to influence Obama’s policy with regards to Iran.
This time though, there are no reformists or pragmatists in power in Tehran. Once again we hear the same campaign waffles coming from the Iranian lobbyist groups for the US to adopt a more amicable practice with Iran; this time though, simply because Bush was not peaceful enough.
Iran is courting Latin America’s leftist bloc with active diplomacy, joint business projects and aid while gathering support for its much-criticized nuclear program. Nicaragua has received Iranian aid pledges for a dam and milk-processing plants, and is playing down U.S. concerns about Iran’s nuclear-weapon ambitions. Iran has also promised Bolivia US$1 billion in aid and investment, including plans to build a cement plant, dairies and two public health clinics.
In fact, it is obvious that this regime is never going to give up its ambitions in developing the nuclear power. So, why are we falling for its game and its song and dance and giving this regime ample time to complete its nuclear project? Why can’t we look back at the last three years of G5+1 negotiation with this regime? and what have we got to show for it, absolutely nothing.

NIAC has attempted to prevent Iranian-Americans from attending public conferences they have gotten members of Congress to sponsor in the past, perhaps fearful of a public demonstration against them.
Yesterday, they also attempted to bar entry to me as a reporter accredited with the U.S. Senate periodicals gallery to an event that was sponsored by Sen. Thomas Carper (D, DE).
The event is designed to give President-Elect Obama advice on how to deal with Iran. In the process of preparing for the meeting tomorrow a group of 21 Iran experts have issued a report titled “Joint Experts’ Statement on Iran”.
The most compelling reasons Iran should not possess a nuclear weapon can be broadly grouped into four categories.
