 <description>&lt;p&gt;اظهارات رئیس پلیس آگاهی نیروی انتظامی مبنی بر آمادگی پلیس برای قطع دست سارقان در حالی به یک جنجال خبری تبدیل شد که در دوران سی ساله جمهوری اسلامی، این مجازات در شهرهای مختلف ایران به مورد اجرا درآمده است، با این تفاوت که این بار به جای مسئولین قضایی، رئیس پلیس آگاهی نیروی انتظامی به لزوم عملی شدن قطع دست حکم داده است.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/19-6&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Iran&#039;s Man In Manhattan</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/19/irans-man-manhattan</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It made headlines last week when federal prosecutors moved to seize assets of the Alavi Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit that is allegedly a front for the U.S.-sanctioned government of Iran. Sidelined in the excitement was another blockbuster aspect of this case: the alleged role of a series of Iranian ambassadors to the UN--including the current envoy, Mohammad Khazaee--in managing the affairs of the Alavi Foundation.

 <title>Barack Obama: Iran faces fresh nuclear sanctions within weeks</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/19/barack-obama-iran-faces-fresh-nuclear-sanctions-within-weeks</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Barack Obama has signalled a further escalation in the crisis over Iran&#039;s nuclear ambitions by serving notice that punitive measures could be agreed &amp;quot;within weeks&amp;quot;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Obama used a speech in South Korea&#039;s capital, Seoul, to warn that the lesson of dealing with neighbouring North Korea was that Tehran must meet a deadline for complying with&lt;br /&gt;
international demands and would face unspecified &amp;quot;consequences&amp;quot; if it did not.

 <description>&lt;p&gt;تغییر موضع روسیه در برابر ایران به خصوص برای رژیم گران تمام خواهد شد. رژیم ایران در برابر فشار غرب تا حد زیادی به حمایت دیپلماتیک روسیه متکی بوده، و روسیه نیز تا کنون در موارد حساسی توانسته است غرب را از اقدامات حادتر علیه ایران باز دارد.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/18-3&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Obama&#039;s hard choice after Iran&#039;s latest protests</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/18/obamas-hard-choice-after-irans-latest-protests</link>
 <description>With nuclear talks faltering, the US may be better off openly siding with the regime&#039;s democratic opponents. 
&lt;p&gt;
Thousands of young people took to the streets in many cities, using the 30th anniversary of the United States Embassy takeover to keep their &amp;quot;green movement&amp;quot; alive. (Many marchers were hit with orange-colored paintballs by police, who likely didn&#039;t want to openly kill the many women in the crowds.)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
But in a new phenomenon, demonstrators chanted to Mr. Obama: &amp;quot;Either you&#039;re with them [the ruling Muslim clerics], or with us.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Iran rejects UN-proposed nuclear deal</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/18/iran-rejects-un-proposed-nuclear-deal</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Iran&#039;s foreign minister ruled out on Wednesday sending enriched uranium out of the country for further processing, effectively rejecting the latest U.N. plan aimed at preventing Tehran from building nuclear weapons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The United Nations last month offered a deal to take 70 percent of Iran&#039;s low-enriched uranium to reduce its stockpile of material that could be enriched to a higher level, and possibly be used to make nuclear weapons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We will definitely not send our 5.3-percent enriched uranium out of the country,&quot; Foreign Minister Manochehr Mottaki told the semiofficial ISNA news agency.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Iran’s foreign minister said in remarks reported Wednesday that he opposes sending the country’s enriched uranium abroad under a tentative deal negotiated with the United States and other big powers last month. The foreign minister’s remarks cast further doubt on the deal, which the Obama administration had hoped would defuse a standoff over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/18/iran-will-not-ship-uranium-abroad-minister-says&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Salvaging the Iran Nuclear Fuel Deal: Accept Iran&#039;s counter offer</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/18/salvaging-iran-nuclear-fuel-deal-accept-irans-counter-offer</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The Iranians would have been utterly stupid to have accepted such an arrangement, because of course there was no guarantee at all that Iran would ever get any reactor fuel out of it -- just as Iran has not received an ounce of enriched uranium from the French enrichment facility in which it invested a billion of dollars. &lt;/p&gt;

 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/18/iran-sentences-5-death-post-election-protests</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Tehran, Iran (CNN)&lt;/b&gt; -- Iran said Tuesday that it has sentenced five people to death and another 81 to prison terms of 6 months to 15 years for their roles in the protests that followed the country&#039;s disputed presidential elections.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The five who received death sentences were convicted of membership in terrorist groups and for carrying out bombings across Iran, the Tehran Judiciary said in a statement that was reported by state media.

 <title>Iran boosts fuel output to prove it can handle nuclear sanctions </title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;t13&quot;&gt;Iran said it temporarily boosted gasoline production by about 30 percent on Tuesday to show the West it can cope with any sanctions targeting its fuel imports. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The announcement came just hours after The Times reported that the United Nations nuclear watchdog has been holding secret negotiations with Iranian officials to draft a deal to persuade world powers to lift sanctions against Tehran, on Tuesday. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Iran&#039;s fake nuke threat</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/17/irans-fake-nuke-threat</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
If you&#039;ve been taking the US and Britain&#039;s recent pronouncements on Iran seriously, you&#039;re probably just about ready to stock up on canned food and start digging a fallout shelter in your back garden.
&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;
Secret underground nuclear facilities? Breaches of non-proliferation rules? Dark hints of military action to stop the mad mullahs from a crazed attack on Israel?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
To listen to Barack Obama and Gordon Brown, you&#039;d think the world was plunging into a new cold war. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Iran defiant as Obama warns of &#039;consequences&#039;</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/17/iran-defiant-obama-warns-consequences</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt; Iran vowed to continue enriching uranium despite a wrist slap by the UN nuclear watchdog, as US President Barack Obama warned of &quot;consequences&quot; Tuesday if Tehran refused to come clean on its atomic programme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) raised suspicions on Monday that Iran could be hiding more atomic facilities and complained that it was not fully in compliance with its nuclear obligations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also demanded further information about the purpose of a previously secret nuclear site which when disclosed in September triggered outrage in the West.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/17/iran-defiant-obama-warns-consequences&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Iran has played down a report by the UN&#039;s nuclear watchdog that found questions remained unanswered about a nuclear facility near the city of Qom. The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran must explain the history and purpose of the recently declared site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But chief Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Asghar Soltaniyeh said the report was &quot;repetitive&quot; and Tehran had handed over all information on the facility. Iran denies claims by some Western nations it is developing nuclear arms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/16/iran-plays-down-un-nuclear-report&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;The incident was confirmed by Ms Soltan’s fiancé, Caspian Makan, who fled from Iran after being released on bail following 65 days in prison.

 <title>جوان کُشی در حکومت اسلامی</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/16-2</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;جوان کُشی در حکومت اسلامی به شیوه ای روزمره تبدیل شده است. پیرسالاری اسلامی در ایران، دل تپنده و مغز اندیشمند و کارای جوانان ایران را در برابر کوبه های باتوم، و شلیک گلوله قرار داده است. کُشتن جوانان ایرانی، کُشتن ندا آقا سلطان در خیابان واحسان فتاحیان در زندان نه آغاز این شیوه بوده است و نه واپسین آن خواهد بود.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/16-2&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Smearing the NIAC</title>
 <link>http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/16/smearing-niac</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;But it&#039;s tempting to suspect that lobbying isn&#039;t the real issue here, and that the that paper is rather more concerned with what it describes as the NIAC&#039;s &quot;emergence as a major player in Washington and leading voice for engaging Iran and ultimately lifting U.S. sanctions&quot;. Indeed, it&#039;s easy to conclude from the tone of the piece and of the developing conversation surrounding it, that the real mission here is to paint Parsi as a tool of the Islamic Republic and therefore an enemy of America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iranian.com/main/news/2009/11/16/smearing-niac&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
