Morning Edition, December 19, 2006 � Partial returns from last Friday's elections in Iran indicate a setback for conservative President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.
The President's supporters have apparently failed to gain control of either the Tehran city council or the powerful Assembly of Experts, a group of clerics who appoint the country's Supreme Leader. |

| Morning Edition, December 20, 2006 � The U.N. Security Council is inching closer to a vote on imposing economic sanctions on Iran for its continuing enrichment of uranium. Iran is reacting with growing alarm to the prospect of U.N. sanctions. If adopted, the sanctions would initially be moderate. |

I don't know; international media are much less likely to take an interest in it. My suspicion is that riling your citizens up with your international platform is a good way to distract them from not having a domestic platform.
