	iranian.com: Nima Kasraie, Greater Iran
		While western Iran and Fars were enduring the wave of Arabization, the people of this region were preserving our language.
		Iran can be a most loyal friend for a well intentioned United States.
		It is our duty to defend the memory of Greater Iran from her enemies, and try hard to preserve the cultural glue that solidifies the peoples of this great land, whether Persian, Turkic, Afghani, Turkomen, or whatever, in spite of religion and creed, even if Iran herself doesn't.

		The border disputes between Iraq and Iran were temporarily resolved with the signing of the Algiers Accord on 6 March 1975.

	Uranium evidence cited in Iran - The Boston Globe
		Iran denies it manufactured the higher-grade uranium, suggesting that the traces came from equipment purchased from another country, the report said.
		It was reported this week that the IAEA found that Iran omitted more advanced centrifuge design drawings as well as testing efforts from its declaration to the UN last fall.

	Making Sense of Iran
		Iran is formally a theocracy, which has made Islamic Sharia the basis of its legal system and in which politicized clergy hold executive power.
		The relatively liberal Khatami passed muster because he is a cleric and a veteran of the revolution, and is able to couch his arguments for greater democratization and the rule of law within the discourse of Islamic revolution.
		It is generally acknowledged that Iran hasn't been involved in acts of terrorism since Khatami's election, and he gave Britain the assurance that it was not his government's policy to pursue the killing of Rushdie.

	IranExpert:Iraq war: the Iranian perceptions
		Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has lambasted the US offensive attack on Iraq as a "manifestation" of a "New Hitlerism" and warned that any such operation against Iran would be "doomed to failure".
		Iran is geo-strategically located with the Arab Gulf located in the south and southwest, Central Asia and the Caucasus towards the north and north west, Indo-Pak Subcontinent in its east, and West Asia in its west.
		Iran's diplomacy during the US-led war is geared to "damage limitation" and "active neutrality" and in the current crisis is not "pro-active".

	Iran’s Ethnic Groups - Council on Foreign Relations
		Although Iran’s state religion is Shiite Islam and the majority of its population is ethnically Persian, millions of minorities from various ethnic, religious, and linguistic backgrounds also reside in Iran.
		Unlike Iran’s other minorities, many of its Kurds harbor separatist tendencies, creating tensions with the state that have occasionally turned violent (the largest in recent years occurred in response to Turkey’s February 1999 arrest of Abdullah Ocalan, then-leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party).
		Iran’s Sunni population, which includes Kurds and Baluchis, complain there is not a single Sunni mosque in the country (the authorities reportedly blocked one from recently being built in Tehran) and the government has barred public displays of Sunni religion and culture.

		Such differences between the Iranian and Russian views over Iran's nuclear program may give substance to what some experts had already predicted, namely that ultimately Moscow's policy would lean towards the West, and that under such circumstances it would be very difficult for Iran and Russia to reach long-term and dependable agreements.
		According to experts, may be by sensing the present climate, Iran has opened up various diplomatic fronts in connection with the principles of her nuclear file.
		Under the circumstances when a nuclear agreement between Iran and Russia is still under a cloud of uncertainty, there is greater possibility that the nuclear file would be completely referred to the UN Security Council.

		The year 1501 marked a watershed as Iran was until then one of the centers of Sunni scholarship, The Safavids, who had been most probably of Turkic descent, called themselves âShahs of Iran,â in conscious remembrance of the pre-Islamic ÄªrÄnshahr.
		Still, Iran and the Arabs, as well as other non-Iranian Shiâias, seem to be aware that they might need each other to achieve short-term political goals.

		President Bush's targeting of Iran as part of an "axis of evil" during his State of the Union Address last week left world leaders and Middle East experts scratching their heads in wonder, since it made so little sense to them.
		Iran steadfastly denies these charges and indeed no hard evidence has ever been produced to substantiate the Israeli claims.

		The said difference of one month between the Zoroastrian calendar of India and that of Iran may be explained by the assumption that the forefathers of the Zoroastrians of India intercalated a month after the downfall of the Sasanian Empire either in Khorasan (where they lived in exile) or after their arrival in India.
