US diplomats in Tehran

US now ready to station diplomats in Iran for the first time in almost 30 years

The Guardian: The US plans to establish a diplomatic presence in Tehran for the first time in 30 years as part of a remarkable turnaround in policy by President George Bush. The Guardian has learned that an announcement will be made in the next month to establish a US interests section - a halfway house to setting up a full embassy. The move will see US diplomats stationed in the country. The news of the shift by Bush who has pursued a hawkish approach to Iran throughout his tenure comes at a critical time in US-Iranian relations. After weeks that have seen tensions rise with Israel conducting war games and Tehran carrying out long-range missile tests, a thaw appears to be under way.>>>

The Den!

So, that means the "Den" will be reopenned!

I wonder what has made the staunch anti-American extremists who opposed any type of relations with the "Great Satan" change their minds.

Are Swiss bank accounts among incentives offered by the European Union?

Time to celebrate!

Thanks to all who voiced their anti-war concerns about Iran-US-Israel and made this great moment possible! This is a great time to increase demand for re-establishment of Iran-US relations which will push our country in the direction of increased democracy and progress. Time for all those who have one way or another been wounded during some struggle with the regime, to heal their wounds and move on towards a better future. There will probaly be hiccups along the way as the extremists will have to adjust to the will of the people gradually but it can be done!
