The death of Neda

This video made the rounds during the Iran elections in June, and be warned that it's quite shocking footage. Neda Agha-Soltan, 26, was shot and bled to death on June 20, 2009 near a protest demonstration against the outcome of the election.

Iranian satellite

Iran claims to have launched its first satellite into space. So far the story adds up, with numerous plausible sightings of the new body in space. One way to look at it is a pretty remarkable scientific feat for a country facing as harsh international sanctions as does Iran. On the other hand of course a rocket capable of reaching the earth orbit also enables its bearer to hit targets on the ground thousands of kilometers away, so it's no surprise that there's a lot of worrying going on around the world about the new implications of this achievement.
