The Turkey vs Iran Flotilla Race
To some Iranians, the Turkish flotilla shouldn’t be interpreted as an attack on the Israeli siege of Gaza, but first and foremost as an assault against their influence in Gaza.
Iran’s efforts to send its own flotilla are testimony to that.

Nuclear weapons = more stability for Iran?
I am about to embark on a full day simulation.
Its title is “Iran – The Day After”. It will basically try to asses the behavior of Iran after it will become armed with nuclear weapons.
I will be a member of the Iran team.

Here are my thoughts before the simulation begins.
The main question asked in this article is: will nuclear weapons and their ability to create deterrence being security and stability for the Islamic republic?

Lula plays a risky diplomatic game in Iran
On Saturday 15th of May, the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will arrive in Tehran.
Will he, much like professional football players from his country manage to score a goal from a very difficult angle?
Or is he risking too much by going to a country which is becoming increasingly isolated?

Obama’s nuclear misstep in Iran
The Mahmoud Ahmadinejad show arrived at the UN for the sixth time, and much like its previous episodes, it did not disappoint. His speech contained its usual anti-Israel and anti-US diatribe but, surprisingly,

Is nuclear armed Iran a foregone conclusion?
“Get ready to live with nuclear Iran” was the title of a recent article by H.D.S. Greenway, in the Boston Globe.
Greenway is not alone in thinking that Iran’s nuclear program is unstoppable. The article below examines the question whether it is simply too late, and the world should switch from preventing a nuclear Iran, to containing it.

Target sanctions at Iran’s leaders
When it comes to imposing sanctions against Iran, no option will be easy or certain. There is one option however, which could keep Iran’s leadership up at night. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/feb/17/iran-nuclear-regime-west Recent interview with BBC Persian about the possibility of an Iran sponsored attack through Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg2xuhj6hvQ
Ahmadinejad in Copenhagen
Please my latest piece below. I wrote it for today, which is the day President Ahmadinejad is to address the Copenhagen summit. It addresses Iran’s right to have nuclear energy.
Is Iran Replacing Russia With Turkey?
Ayatollah Khamenei seems to be moving away from Moscow, and towards Ankara. This strategy has its merits, but it won’t be without its own challenges.
