First I wanted Midpress to be an international media for Iran and Middle East where I live. It wasn’t successful because it is impossible to manage an international press alone and by a few minutes a day. So it was boring, difficult and useless for me.
Now I have changed that idea and I want Midpress to be just a personal weblog of mine. So it will reflect my own experiences and ideas. I think through this strategy I can make closer and more sincere relationship with people outside Iran. Also I can practice writing and develop my writing skill in English.

Islamic republic of Iran as the only religious government usually supports Islamic movements in any corner of world, In Lebanon, Palestine, Africa, Europe, Asia and America. Hammas of Palestine and Hezbollah of Lebanon are good examples.
But what about China and its Muslim movement in the north west. Iran and china have a close political relationship. Maybe this friendship roots from the hostility among Unites States and these two countries. Both of these countries have great problems with US.
So it seems China Muslims are an exception for Iran support of Islamic movements. During recent unrest in north China, Iran made no real attempt to support Muslims, also in the late Unrest in Tehran (after presidential election) China didn’t make any effort to support tensions, but The EU and US supported the angry crowd in Tehran streets.
The same relationship is between Iran and Russia. It means that Iran ignored the cruelty against Chechnya Muslims in Russia and Russia didn’t support the opposition front in Iran

Weeks after Iran’s post-election unrest receded, the Intelligence Ministry talks of evidence implicating certain Iranian political figures in provoking the turmoil. Many political figures and activists were arrested in Iran, during days of unrest that followed the June 12 presidential election.
Iran’s Intelligence Ministry responded to calls from opposition figures — defeated presidential candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi as well as former president Mohammad Khatami — for the release of those arrested by saying that their cases were still under investigation.

It is for many years that Israel occasionally threatens Iran of military attack and bombing nuclear sites in Iran. But in fact this claim has never happen because Israel is not sure about Iran response. For example Iran can aim Israel by its native far reaching missiles. Or Iran can make big bothers for Israel by its close allies Hamass in Gaza and Hizbolla in Lebanon.

Ahead of Germany’s upcoming general elections, officials warn against premature announcements of alleged poll results by Twitter subscribers.
Before the state media are allowed to broadcast exit polls, baseless postings regarding poll results could fuel ill-founded theorizations about the outcome of the event, German authorities said on Saturday.
“It would be a disaster if the survey results were released before voting stations close,” federal election commissioner Roderich Egeler was quoted by Zionist-run Der Spiegel magazine as saying.
Egeler and other German officials suggested that in the event of such an incident, many would feel free to contest the official results.
The worries have begun haunting electoral processes worldwide after the social networking website played host to an avalanche of unconfirmed projections of Iran’s June 12 presidential election and the ensuing unrest.
As the voting was in process and based on their purported access to the exit polls, many Twitter users put up the alleged returns in percentage terms. As a result one of the candidates claimed victory about an hour after the votes closed.
Once the official result turned out to contradict the prediction the candidate and his supporters cried foul.
Twitter and Facebook also led other cyber hotspots in hosting video messages supposedly depicting the post-election events in the Islamic Republic.
