Press TV:

Thirty years after the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran, the United States still holds Iran's frozen assets and properties without paying Tehran anything in assets-related financial gains, a report says.

On November 4, 1979, university students took over the building of the US embassy and held 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days.

The students were convinced that Washington was plotting against the Islamic Revolution just months after the toppling of the US-backed shah.

Inside the embassy, they found shredded documents which proved their convictions.

From the U.S. based Iranian scholar Behzad Yahgmaian, some optimistic updates:

The presidential election of June 12, which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared to have won, gave birth to a grassroots movement that has been evolving politically, embracing broader segments of the population, discovering new methods of struggle, and refusing to die despite widespread government violence.

It has bewildered the conservatives, surpassed the political limits of the reformists, and become a wildcard with a potential to change Iran in profound ways.

NYT:

Senior staff members of the United Nations nuclear agency have concluded in a confidential analysis that Iran has acquired “sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable” atom bomb.

The report by experts in the International Atomic Energy Agency stresses in its introduction that its conclusions are tentative and subject to further confirmation of the evidence, which it says came from intelligence agencies and its own investigations.

But the report’s conclusions, described by senior European officials, go well beyond the public positions taken by several governments, including the United States.
