Dear All,
This window is dedicated to the brave Iranian students who came out today on Students Day in large numbers to make it clear that their protests to the June general election, and the way it has been handled by the government, are far from over. With security forces everywhere, including the entrance to hospitals, [...]

Dear All,

I hope you are well. I have not sent you a window in a long time. This is not because in Iran the opposition has stopped its efforts or some of the issues have been resolved. As you see from this window, neither of these is the case. The delay is merely the result [...]

Dear All,

I hope you are well. As I was thinking hard about how to balance the heavy political doze of these recent windows with some cultural content, I came across a set of beautiful art work, visual manifestations of the recent events by anonymous Iranian artists. What I love about them most is that despite [...]

Dear All,

All signs point to the fact that difficult – and decisive – days may be ahead in Iran. But the good news first. For years, Iranians who are ranked as number four bloggers in the world, have been prevented from visiting the sites that the Iranian government has considered containing information contrary to its [...]

New developments are reported in Iran around the clock. While there is frustration, there is also hope that some positive changes will result. The latest is the following piece of news about the army. Before we get to that though click [...]

Dear All,

Today close to a million Iranians attended the Friday prayer at which the ex-Iranian President Mr. Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was to deliver the sermon. Well, I listened to all of almost 65 minutes of his speech and can tell you this: The Old Man of the Islamic Republic Delivers!

It was Neda Agha Soltan, then Sohrab A’rabi, and now – the latest – is Taraneh Mousavi. Taraneh, a 28 year old woman was arrested while returning from the June 19 demonstrations at Ghoba Mosque in Tehran. An anonymous caller told her family she was in a hospital. According to blogs, when they got [...]

Ayatollah Rafsanjani, the second most powerful politician in Iran, and a person viewed as supporting Mr. Mousavi, will lead the Friday prayer in Tehran and deliver the sermon. The reformists are asking their supporters [...]

Dear All,
Wearing masks to protect themselves against teargas and to avoid being identified by security forces, Iranians took to the streets today. I have included two memorable images of women in these protests, one above and one below.
