Middle East > News from Iran

Iranian blogger Hossein Derakhshan is breaking his self-imposed exile to return to Iran for the elections.

A few brave women in Iran are attending football games in violation of state orders. Women are apparently forbidden to attend athletic events in the stadium.

On the other side of the world two Iranian women - Farkhondeh Sadegh and Laleh Keshavarz - became the first Muslim women to summit Mt. Everest. Congrats.
