| Summary/Abstract |
Iran's election fraud last June, the civil unrest that followed, and the regime's continuing crackdown against dissenters have their roots in the country's poor economic condition. They are also rooted in efforts by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his allies in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to grab control over large swaths of the economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
There are many ways to celebrate a military victory -- you can sack a city, purge your opponents, or put on a flight suit and strut around an aircraft carrier. In August 2006, I was in Lebanon, where bridges, highways, and entire neighborhoods had been smashed to rubble in the war between Israel and the Iran-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah. Just after the cease-fire, I got an email from a friend in Tehran: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had celebrated the "divine victory" over Israel by treating his subjects to what he claimed was the world's largest grilled kebab. The "victory kebab" was 21 long feet of juicy, meaty celebration -- a display of raw carnal politics that would have made a 19th-century New York Tammany ward boss proud.

| Summary/Abstract |
The conventional wisdom regarding Iran and Syria is that these are belligerent states headed by hostile leaders. Rarely is an effort made to imagine how international politics are perceived from the Iranian or the Syrian perspectives, or consider how these perceptions are part of an interactive crisis in which the USA may be implicated as deeply as the regimes in Tehran and Damascus. In this article, we investigate the United States' ongoing crisis with Iran and Syria from the vantage point of their leadership. Our central research questions are: What kind of leaders are Ahmadinejad of Iran and al-Asad of Syria? More specifically, what are their cognitive diagnostic beliefs of the ensuing conflict and their prescriptive beliefs towards it? What is an appropriate strategy for the USA towards Iran and Syria? The answers to these questions speak to the conventional wisdom of Ahmadinejad and al-Asad as hostile and propose strategies for averting a dangerous escalation of the conflict. Our central goal in this article is to develop towards Iran and Syria `realistic empathy' as we consider it `the great corrective for all forms of war-provoking misperception'.

| Summary/Abstract |
On 7 February, the Iranian parliament (Majlis-e Shora-ye Islami) summoned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over his domestic and foreign policies. Ahmadinejad has a month in which to appear before the legislature, in what is the first time since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 that parliament has demanded to cross-examine the president. This timetable means he could appear close to the 2 March legislative elections.

| Summary/Abstract |
Russia should step over its prejudices and take a look at today's Iran as its serious and long-term partner in the region - not at the declarative level, but at the level of action. Such attempts have been made from time to time, but now and then they are interrupted - out of the wrong fear to anger the Americans.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Iranian presidential election will take place on June 14. It will mark the end of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency, which was notable for controversies surrounding his second-term election and the tightening of the international community's backbreaking and unprecedented sanctions against the country, leading to the devaluation of Iran's currency.
