Opinion

Democracy is paramount
Lessons from the aftermath of the '53 coup

By Asghar Massombagi
June 23, 2000
The Iranian

A few weeks ago The New York Times printed the CIA's history of the 1953 coup that toppled the government of Dr. Mossadegh. These papers allegedly show the extent of the United States involvement in organizing and leading the coupe, as well as the full co-operation of the British Intelligence service and the royalist elements in the Iranian army...

What is really interesting in this whole story is a re-examination of the legacy of the coup, which is something that has never really been discussed in Iran. The coup ended a period of relative freedom of the press and political activities >>> GO TO FEATURE

Fiction

Across broken glass
Unrequited love

By Padideh Jan
June 22, 2000
The Iranian

Perhaps I ought to say here and now that the most worrying sentence in the world to me is, "I'd like to have a word with you about something." It leaves you in the agonizing doubt about what exactly. The feeling of anxiety that started with Saeid's telephone call on that January morning had increased during what seemed like a very long, and slow fifteen-mile drive down Interstate 101 to Palo Alto. It'd been just over a month since he'd privately presented me with a diamond solitaire, and I'd felt that all my anxieties about our relationship had been put to rest >>> GO TO FEATURE

Tehran Times

Tehran's good side
It's there. Just have to look for it

By Najmeh Fakhraie
June 20, 2000
The Iranian

When I think of Tehran the first things I remember are drug addicts, homeless children, heavy traffic and rude people. Not a good sign. But no matter how awful it might be, no matter how polluted or dirty, it's still MY city and therefore it deserves to be loved. If there's a million things going wrong with it, if things aren't going too well, the only ones responsible are the people who live in it. Me included.

Unlike what most think, Tehran is really a beautiful place. Anyone whose looked up at the sky on a clear day know's what I'm talking about >>> GO TO FEATURE

Khosh oomadi
Googoosh's historic comeback

By Jahanshah Javid
June 19, 2000
The Iranian

Googoosh is back. No need to rub your eyes. It's not a dream. And no, it's not another misprint you frequently see in The Iranian. Googoosh arrived in Toronto last week, accompanied by a new band AND new songs, accoding to Paris-based concert promoter Abbas Bakhtiari...

Thank heaven. It's a miracle. It really is. Iranians -- including many who didn't care much for her light pop songs before the revolution -- have been waiting and praying for Googoosh's return. So much so that if I were the messiah, I would be jealous >>> GO TO FEATURE

Poem

30 Khordad
Poem

By Niloofar Kalaam
June 19, 2000
The Iranian

Thanks to The Iranian Times I realized it is the 19th anniversary of the 30th of Khordad massacre (June 19, 1981). Has it really been 19 years? The realization made me look up a poem I wrote several years ago >>> GO TO FEATURE
