Iran and China good friends!

During recent years the relations between Iran and China has been developing rapidly. Iran has a basically ideological system and China is originally a communist socialist system of governing. No one expects for close political friendship between these two nations. But in the real world we see that these two countries have put aside their differences and a formed a friendly relationship. WHY? What joins these two different nations is their relation with the United States. China and the U.S. do not have a reliable relationship because of their different and some times opposite benefits. Also Iranians have a hostile attitude toward the United States and this has along story. U.S. is trying to prevent Iran from its nuclear activities and calls Iran as the supporter of terrorism. U.S president has repeatedly threatened Iran with international economic sanctions and even military operation. But China not only does not agree any of these choices as the solution for the case but also finds national an economical benefits of China in close peaceful relationship with Iran.

Iranians are not terrorists

Among those who planned and performed 11th September attack to twin towers in New York there were many Arab citizens, Pakistani, European, African and even American citizens but no one had Iranian identity. Even there is no claim that Iran or any Iranian was involved in that terrorist operation. It is proved that Iran not only has no relation with Alqaede terrorist organization but also Iran is a severe enemy of such organization. There has been no Iranian member in Alqaede. Even once Iranian reporters were killed by Taliban in Afghanistan. Yet US and west call Iran a terrorist country or a supporter of terrorists. Why? Here is the answer: Because Iran supports Palestinians in achieving there natural right of existence. Iranians say it's proved that Israel will never give the full right of Palestinians through negotiation or dialogue unless there is equal condition. Yes Iran supports Palestinians, are they terrorists? Do you think there is other solution for the disaster in Palestine? Iran people and government have never planned or performed any terrorist operation. Yet Iran people and government have the most number of victims of terrorists which are sometimes supported by US and Europe. For example Iran second President (Rajaee) Iranian first parliament (Behesshti) and Iranian priminister (Bahonar) and many anonymous have been killed.

Iran and its neighbors

It is my strong belief that no society may really develop while its neighbors are undeveloped. It is impossible for Germany to have a neighbor like Afghanistan. There should be several countries like Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria and Poland between. .so is the story in Middle East and Islamic world. It is impossible to establish a developed country in the heart of Middle East while the majority of neighbors are dealing with civil wars and social disasters. Iran cannot really develop while there are permanent wars and unstable conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is the fact which many politicians and analyzers neglect. Today no society can ignore its neighborhood, and if it wishes to really develop it should undertake group work with neighbors. Because it is impossible to build a sky-scraper in a ruined village in a far desert. Whenever there is a wide civil war in Iraq and Afghanistan the crowd of refugees swarm to Iran borders and d while there is economical disaster in Afghanistan the wealth will escape from Iran an when ever there is a social disaster in a neighbor Iran will naturally suffer. In fact any military and social and economical disaster is contagious. This is the reason "why Iran is worried about Iraq condition. USA President claims that Iran should not middle in Iraq affairs while Iran has its worries and has the right to be worried. But the USA President from a far continent claims to have benefits in Iraq and ignores the right of neighbors in Iraq.

Iran and Arabs today

A note to Presence of president Ahmadinejad in Arab conference in Qatar After Islamic revolution in 1979, Iran and Arab states have never had a friendly relationship because: 1- The Iran-Iraq war resulted racial emotion of Arabs against Iran. During this 8 Year war Arabs supported Iraq in different ways. 2- In Iran there was no real will to improve relations with Arab sates. Specially with the idea of exporting Islamic revolution, Arabs got worried. 3- The policy of super power of USA was to create tension among Iran and Arabs in order to provide US benefits in the region. Today the condition has changed to a point; firstly President Saddam has vanished and there is no war between Iran and any Arab state; secondly Iran has found out that it's better to have closer relationship to Arabs instead of exporting revolution; thirdly Arabs have found out that there is no merit in hostility with their neighbor Iran. Yet the tensions and plans of US exists and US president is not happy to see Iran and Arabs presidents in a friendly conference and will surely try to create new tensions,

Let's khnow Iranian political parties

Political parties are new elements of politics in Iran. These parties were formed during reformist government of President Khatami But today the ruling government of President Ahmadinejad has a negative view toward the existence of these parties, because most of these parties belong to left wing (reformists). In fact president Ahmadinejad's ruling government does not accept the role of parties in politics because this system is basically western not Islamic (they think so). Political parties in Iran are usually formed in a situation which they are in power so they lack public support and whenever they stand out of power they lack really strong presence in society and politics. Iranian main political parties are: 1- Etemad melli (meaning national trust): the head director of Etemad melli is clergyman Karoubi (the speaker of third and sixth parliaments). He himself was the candidate for presidency and placed third after Rafsanjani and Ahmadinejad. Many reformists voted for Karoubi. 2- Mosharekat party (meaning the party of participation) a reformist party formed in former reformist parliament (sixth parliament). This party supported Dr Mostafa Moein in presidency election. Most reformists voted for Moein but he placed fifth. 3- Motalefe party (meaning coalition party) a radical party in right wing close to Ahmadinejad but a little milder. Head director is Hassan Habibi. 4- Nehzat Azadi (meaning freedom movement) a liberal reformist party which has no place in power in Iran after Islamic revolution . Its leader is Ebrahim Yazdi. This party is not legally accepted by ruling government.

Newspapers in Iran

In Iran there is no free media. Satellite is generally forbidden by law. And all TV channels are directed by the radical government of Ahmadinejad and three are no TV or even radio stations unless they are in the hand of radicals. Also many reformist popular websites are usually filtered or closed. What about newspapers? Iranian reformists have several newspapers which gives them the ability to compete radical newspapers. Of course many of reformist's newspapers are usually banned by radical judgment system. For example during last months two popular reformists newspaper of Shargh and Hammihan were closed by law sentence.

What remain are several very mild reformist newspapers which are not popular and capable enough to influence public opinions. They have to work very timidly not to give any pretext to radical judicial system to avoid being closed. Yet these newspapers are the only channels which contact reformists to the body of Iranian society. they have gained great achivements for Iranian reformists.
