...Security Council resolutions, backed by limited sanctions, require that Iran suspend enrichment until transparency concerns raised by the IAEA are settled. But the Western demand that Iran cede the right to enrich its own uranium is a more ambitious goal that doesn't have U.N. backing - because enrichment under safeguards to prevent weaponization is a right of all signatories to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). When Iran insists it won't negotiate over its "nuclear rights," that's a signal that it has no intention of giving up enrichment. And the Iranians have thus far declined to discuss...
...when Twitter has its own procedures for dealing with impostors? The answer is twofold. Blaney first encountered the problem of fake Twitter accounts when he represented a client who was attempting to have just such an account shut down.

"As an aggressive litigator I was sending lots of nasty, threatening letters making clear what would happen to Twitter's metaphorical gonads if they didn't behave. Those were ignored.

That's not enough, however. JAL reportedly needs more than $1 billion just to continue services into next year. So Nishimatsu has been forced to go hat in hand to the government seeking help to meet its financial needs of up to $3 billion...
...moment, the regime is being a bit more selective about its targets. According to a report by the reformist website Peykiran, officials have focused on politically troublesome university students in Tehran, Tabriz and Shiraz, whom they are banning from living in campus dormitories, subjecting to disciplinary hearings or outright suspending or expelling. Advar News, a student news agency, claimed that 50 students at University of Tehran - which was the epicenter of not only this summer's protests but also demonstrations that led to the fall of the Shah 30 years ago - were recently forced to defend themselves for hours...
