Yassamine Mather outlines why the demands put on Iran by Obama cannot be met. Yassamine also analyses developments regarding the upcoming elections in Iran. Full article at the link. Obama’s message to Iranians to mark Norooz, the Iranian new year, was hailed by sections of the media as “unprecedented” and “historic”, offering a new beginning in Iran-US relations. It was therefore inevitable that when ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme religious leader, dismissed the message as consisting of meaningless slogans, Middle East and Iran ‘analysts’ expended a lot of effort trying to put a positive spin on a very unambiguous negative response. ... read full story / add a comment

The man the Newsletter calls “the respected journalist Henry McDonald,” the Newsletter's Ireland correspondent - sorry, mistake, the Guardian's Ireland correspondent - calls students who drank a lot on St Patrick's Day 'Catholic/nationalist'. What's more, they are 'rural', shock horror. Ticks all the prejudicial boxes - cannot be allowed. But how does Henry know? It's easy: 'judging from the Gaelic football and Glasgow Celtic shirts, as well as the names of those the PSNI decided to arrest'. Would the Guardian publish this type of drivel about the Notting Hill carnival? No because in that case it would be racist. In this case it is merely sectarian, while claiming not to be. ... read full story / add a comment

As well as opposing Imperialist aggression towards Iran it is also important to support those Anti-Imperialist forces which are struggling against the reactionary Iranian Regime. Full article at link. Down with the Imperialists & Mullahs! Support the Women, Workers and Students! The level of repression against radical activists and voices of opposition to the Islamic Republic in Iran has increased in the recent weeks.

Today the Belfast magistrate covering the request for an extradition order on high-profile ETA member and sometime hunger striker Iñaki De Juana Chaos concurred, after four months consideration, that the slogan read out in his name at a rally of supporters on his release from prison constituted an incitement to terrorist action & real continuity in the ongoing spiral of violence which mars all hope of the Basque people to enjoy increased autonomy, independence or their own seat at the United Nations ... read full story / add a comment
