	JCPA Middle East Briefing: Iranian Missiles: The Nature of the Threat
		The Iranian announcement confirmed an earlier report in the Israeli media, and the Iranian spokesperson emphasized that the missile test was conducted a few weeks ago and that "there was nothing new in the Israeli reports." The Iranians also stressed that this was the last in a series of systems tests.
		Iranian speakers did not deny that the missile program was meant to counter-balance Israel's threats.
		Notwithstanding Iranian claims that these objectives have also been met, it is reasonable to assume that those announcements are premature and that it might take another 2-3 years before the system is fully operational.

	Zoroaster
		Zoroaster was one of the great teachers of the East and the founder of Zoroastrianism, which was the national religion of the Perso-Iranian people from the time of the Achaemenidae to the close of the Sassanid period.
		In an old confession of faith, the convert is pledged to abjure the theft and robbery of cattle and the ravaging of villages inhabited by worshippers of Mazda (Yasna, 12, 2).
		The last things and the end of the world are relegated to the close of a long period of time (3000 years after Zoroaster), when a new Saoshyant is to be born of the seed of the prophet, the dead are to come to life, and a new incorruptible world to begin.

	Middle East Report 219: Iranian Cinema: Art, Society and the State, by Ziba Mir-Hosseini
		Today, Iranian cinema is recognized as one of the most innovative and exciting in the world, and films from Iranian directors are being screened to increasing acclaim at international festivals.
		The key to resolving the apparent contradiction between Iran's repressive image and the renaissance of Iranian cinema is to understand the relationship that developed between art, society and the state after the Islamic revolution.
		Meanwhile, international acclaim for Iranian cinema in the 1990s has helped the Iranian diaspora to renegotiate their relationships with the land they left.

	BBC NEWS \| Have Your Say \| What difference will the Iranian protests make?
		I'm so happy to see that finally Iranian people are standing up for their rights, but at the same time I feel terrible that they don't have all the support they need to prevail.
		Today, Iranians are NOT fighting on behalf of their incompetent President, or the reformist camp, but for the unconditional overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
		Iranian revolution in 1977 and departure of the Shah was for more democracy and freedom not another form of dictatorship.

	AFTER THE IRANIAN TEST - 29-Jul-98
		In contrast to the initial publications which followed the first test of the Iranian Shihab-3 missile, which determined that the test had failed, American and other experts have now found that the test was successful, perhaps even very successful.
		It is reasonable to assume that the Iranian test was carried out with the close cooperation, and in the presence, of Russian missile experts.
		The Iranians may thus say that the missile is a fait accompli, which will be very difficult to cancel like the Iraqi-Egyptian-Argentinian Badr-2000 missile project which was canceled many years ago under American pressure.

		BAGHDAD -- A senior Iranian diplomat was murdered in Baghdad yesterday as an Iranian delegation traveled to the holy city of Najaf to mediate with a renegade cleric despite US objections, fueling tensions over Iran's influence in Iraq's Shi'ite Muslim population.
		Khalil Naimi, the first secretary of the Iranian embassy in Baghdad, was shot in the head and killed while driving back to the embassy, just a stone's throw from the entrance to occupation headquarters.
		The Iranian delegation is ostensibly trying to broker a peaceful resolution to the standoff between Sadr's militia and US forces around Najaf, the city an American commander in the theater likened to the Vatican of Shi'ism.

	THE IRANIAN: Middle East, Iqbal Latif
		What pundits predicted to be an exponential spiral of death in the Middle East is now being replaced by a deflationary cooling with the power play in the West Bank serving as a measure to prudence.
		Irony abounds in such a conflict with the Palestinians, who were thought to be able to sacrifice everything now signifying their assent to a lasting peace because of rival power struggles.
		For the Palestinians such a step may be a right step will take the heat of their leadership and once again make some inroads on diplomatic front, the de-legimitization of the struggle is a threat that the Palestinians are actively preventing.

	Middle East Report Online: Iranian Women Take On the Constitution, by Mahsa Shekarloo

		The diverse base of the movement was evident in front of the University of Tehran on June 12, five days before the first round of the presidential election, when approximately 2,000 Iranian women participated in a sit-in to protest the constitution's denial of women's rights.
		First, Iranian activists thought, years of work with the parliamentary reformists to expand women's rights in other areas had been rendered moot by Guardian Council fiat.
