I am too lazy, I know!
What a week!
1.There was a quake in an Iranian island called Qeshm, there were 13 casualties until now. 300,000 homeless people .Qeshm is located in Persian Gulf.
2.Parliament's failure to endorse President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's third nominee for the post oil minister has come as a shock in Iran. The situation is so unusual that one member of the parliament's presiding board has now said they should refer the issue to the body which vets legislation - known as the Guardian Council - for guidance about how to proceed. The third nominee Mohsen Tasalloti received only 77 votes in parliament, with 139 against him.
3.Iran survived again. One Western official has been quoted as saying: "We don't hold many cards." Good for us. The US and the Europeans are hoping that Iran will consider a compromise proposal that would move the sensitive part of nuclear fuel production - uranium enrichment - to Russia.
4.The funniest news of all is that a clergy has been appointed as Tehran University chancellor. He doesn’t hold any academic degree. This one is a real insult to all of the academics of the country. Ayatollah Amid Zanjani,a high ranking cleric, was not welcomed at all and was badly insulted by protesting students in the university on Sunday morning. I think there is a difference between an internationally accepted scientific center, Tehran University, and a seminary school, where they teach religion there. Lets keep clerics in where they belong to.
5.Fortunately there has been a wave of protest in other universities, calling for the freedom of Akbar Ganji, an imprisoned reporter. Masume Shafiee, Ganji’s wife, claimed that he has been threatened by the prosecution team. They said he would be dead, even if he got out of jail. I think it’s safer for him to stay in there. At least no one is brave enough to kill him.
People believe there is a bloodless coup in the country. I think they are somehow right. All the mayors, ministers and the governors are selected from a military organization called Sepaah. I think it’s the time for all the students to start thinking what is happening in this place. Where are we heading to?
