A New Year, a New Beginning

In the past few days many of my (non-Persian) friends have told me they are a bit confused about what's going on in Iran. What are good sources of news if you are not connected to a well-informed web of Facebook and Twitter users? Here's my list of some of the English language sites I frequent.


http://www.radiozamaneh.com/enzam/
Radio Zamaneh has started translating about 3 stories a day for its English site.


http://www.tehranbureau.com/
Tehran Bureau is a well informed and important site and especially in the weeks after the June elections served as a source for CNN and other news networks.


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/iran
Very good up-to-date site with many articles and videos.


http://united4iran.com/
United 4 Iran and Vote 4 Iran are activists sites, but frequently update with newsstories. United in English, Vote in both English and Persian


http://persian2english.wordpress.com/
Persian 2 English collects stories about the struggle and translates them into English.

Andrew Sullivan doesn't exclusively post about Iran, but it's good to take note when he does.
