  1. Then I think: a multi-polar world weakens what are already swiss cheese sanctions. US allies will keep trading with #Iran, whatever we do.
  2. As I watch Brazil's President Lula bear hug a visiting Ahmadinejad, I can't stop thinking: Lula would make a killer Santa Claus.
  3. @pouyana says temple photo is from India, not Israel. Assuming he's seen the paper, I stand corrected. Bahai World Center is in Haifa.
  4. Also, shelling continues on #Saudi border with Yemen, targeting extremist Houthi rebels. Children dying of starvation amid refugees crisis.
  5. The stated reason: Hamshahri published a photo of a Bahai temple in Haifa, Israel. Bahais = underreported victims of persecution in #Iran.
  6. #Iran shuts down Hamshahri, a ubiquitous newspaper run by the Tehran municipality & allied with Ahmadinejad rival Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.
  7. Saudi Arabia reports 1st H1N1 flu death among pilgrims heading into the millions-strong Hajj, held in Mecca this week
  8. Hamdan did respond to rumors Gilat Shalit would be released before Eid. Interview highlights to come on ABCNewsNow & abcnews.com.
  9. logging my interview w/ Usamah Hamdan, head of Hamas in Lebanon. among other things, he says the lull in rocket & suicide attacks won't last
  10. @jacksonryan good question. looking into it.
  11. #Iran convicts more than 80 people for post-election unrest, sentences ranging from 6 months in jail to death penalty http://bit.ly/4oEwOb
  12. Today's IAEA report on #Iran says Fardow was built for 3,000 centrifuges & that Iran's September notice was "inconsistent w/ obligations"
  13. USDOJ just announced it's indicted a Kuwaiti company for "massive overcharging" of US for soldiers' food, after $8.5 billion in contracts
  14. @islamwest one hint: the story is in Lebanon
  15. Karroubi describes getting hit by tear gas Nov 4: "I started to suffocate...felt that all of my face, my beard and eyebrows were on fire."
  16. Per a statement, Mousavi and Karroubi meet, denounce crackdown on Nov 4 protesters and accusations they've abandoned #Iran's Revolution
  17. working hard on a story I could not be more passionate about. here's hoping all the pieces come together, then I'll do a reveal.
  18. also interesting: AP analysis on how #Iran's opposition is moving beyond its leaders, as sources of mine have echoed http://bit.ly/2pg3TY
  19. @jerusalem_post on Netanyahu trying to jump-start talks w/ Syria, thru France http://bit.ly/24BSuD. Syrian track = next great hope?
  20. Taking in Damascus. What strikes me upon arrival: signs of an opening economy, remnants of pan-Arabism, the occasional American car.
