From PLEASE READ this personal message from 26-yr old MONA in Florida!

To all of my fellow Iranians living in the U.S.,

My name is Mona Zarei and I am writing to you from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Jackson Memorial Hospital, in Miami, Florida.

I am a 26-yearold graduate of Sharif University in Tehran, currently a PhD student in Electrical Engineering at the Florida International University. Unfortunately after only four months living in America, in November 2007, I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, which has gradually led to bone marrow failure.

Despite the dramatic affects of the disease on my day-to-day life and its harsh unknown emerging consequences, I have fulfilled my studies, teaching, and research obligations in order to keep my scholarship and health insurance. During this time, my physicians have exhausted all available means and treatments to control the symptoms of my incurable condition. Still I am struggling with the dangerous complications…

Against The Green | The New Republic

"Western leaders should ask themselves just one question whenever faced with a new set of measures toward Iran: Will they help or hurt the Green Movement?"

This is an excellent question that Obama needs to ask himself.

The number of demonstrators (mostly paid) was a drop in the bucket compared to what the opposition turned out, as photos clearly show.

Iran: Pro Government Rally In Qom Fails To Attract The Crowds

After paying off the basilj, the government is running out of money to pay mere demonstrators let alone workers–many of whom have not been paid for months. How do they survive? Why should they they work at all?

Surely they don’t expect this corrupt and brutal government to make good on its IOUs somedays.

Hey;

Do you think that promoting the cause in USA college student papers etc. could drum up any support or enthusiasm? I know a lot of my fellow students here in the USA are very sympathetic to the cause.

Hope it’s real, it sounds true and I understand the source is solid. This is the third time I have seen a letter or narrative of this nature.

After the announcement by some people in Artesh that they were fed up with the situation, and disgusted with IRGC, here are several soldiers’ reactions :

Soldier : “250,000 of the 350,000 Artesh soldiers are drafted soldiers doing our national service, all below the age of 25. Guess whose side we’re on?”

Air Force Soldier : “I don’t know about that announcement but I can tell you 95% of Artesh Air Force is Green.”

Ex-Soldier : “I left [batallion] 3 months ago. No job & no prospects. I wanted to study at Uni using armed forces contigent. No way. Only if you are a Basiji or IRGC, or best, you are a Basiji whose dad is with IRGC do you get your scholarship at application, get your degree in 1 month, your post-grad in 3, PhD in 6 & go on becoming the president or minister or high-ranked Guards…
