Strategies then didn't work—and neither will they with Iran today, a modern day embodiment of an arcade game we loved so much. What once brought us butterflies, now fills us with fear.

Saman Naseem, a juvenile “offender” is currently awaiting his execution. If the Islamic Regime’s judicial system sticks to tradition, it will likely be a public hanging—to send a chilling, sobering message home to all Kurds in Iran, “Keep quiet, you aren't equal.” Read More

A recent article reported Christianity is growing by leaps and bounds in Iran, at around 20% each year, and that Christianity is growing faster in Iran than anywhere else. Is this Iran's new way to protest the Islamic Republic? Read More

And while it makes a great headline that the Islamic Republic of Iran reached out to France on this terrible occasion, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s message of support was empty. Not only because Iran is still designated as the top state-sponsor of international terrorism, but also because Iranian journalists were barred from shows of support to the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack.

As I read Guy Walters's article this week in The Daily Beast titled Hitler's Henchmen in Arabia, I couldn't help but see an Iranian parallel that I really didn't want to see-- or feel. But as I'm half-Latina and half-Iranian, I have the responsibility to speak up. Read More

Why is Iranian-American journalist for the Washington Post, Jason Rezaian still being held in prison in Iran (he was arrested July 22, 2014), without access to an attorney, and without access to proper medical care, and without a right to post bail?

So Iran's President Rouhani tweeted, to Iranians, in English, on Twitter, which is illegal in Iran… does anyone smell the fishiness here, or is that just me?
