Torab Saleth is a member of Workers Left Unity Iran and is also a member of the Advisory Editorial Board of the journal Critique. Here, Torab provides an analysis of the class nature of the Iranian Regime. This is the articles first publication. pat c The Class Nature of the Iranian Regime The current Iranian regime, in power in the so-called "Islamic Republic of Iran" since the 1979 revolution against the Shah, continues to confuse many observers as to its true nature. The intrinsic confusion lies precisely in the fact that it is considered as a post-revolutionary regime. You constantly hear the argument that whatever it is, and however bad and vicious it may be, it nevertheless is a regime which came out of a revolution against the Shah's dictatorship. Somehow, this mechanistic logic is then used to bestow a certain air of progressiveness upon a regime which for any observer with a little political sense is nothing but a semi-fascistic theocracy defending capitalism. read full story / add a comment

This is an article from Human Rights Watch in which they condemn the televised confessions forced out of Iranian Dissidents. It is wrong for the US to torture those who yhey hold illegally and it is also wrong for the Iranian SState to torture "confessions" out of those they hold illegally. Full article at link. The Iranian government should cancel the scheduled July 18 broadcast of the “confessions” of two detained Iranian-Americans, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch expressed concern that Iranian authorities have used coercive means to compel Haleh Esfandiari and Kian Tajbakhsh to make statements that may be later used to incriminate them in court. The authorities have held them in largely incommunicado detention for more than two months, preventing lawyers and family members from visiting them. They have only been permitted brief phone calls to family members. read full story / add a comment

Those who oppose the US wars of imperialism are probably quite cynical about the lies and distortions used to justify what they slaughter. Nevertheless, it is likely that a press release issued by the Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran will shock even those who thought they had seen it all. read full story / add a comment

In the last months an extraordinary plague of mice has hit China. Only in the last days has the story gone from the sarcastic coverage verging on racism "poor Chinese people think eating mice is good for the libido" turned to serious reporting of the phenomena. Which naturally the Chinese state are keen to downplay. The mice are estimated by the Guardian (reporting Chinese state authorities) to number over 2 billion now. Strange things happen you might think.., Except that in early June farmers in the mid-peninsular region of Spain roughly at the same lattitude as those affected in China began to complain of plagues of voles or fieldmice. Voles are pretty much like mice in that they are small rodents which feed on crops, do nothing for your libido if eaten and once they enter your water or sanitation system spell complete disaster for anyone who survives the famine which used to follow soon after. read full story / add a comment
