The Century Foundation today launched insideiran.org, a special project taking readers inside the political crisis in Iran. The centerpiece of the project is a Web site, www.insideiran.org, which features articles, analysis, and the latest media reports from some of the world's most prominent Iranian scholars, journalists, and bloggers who are either inside the country or who live temporarily outside. The project will also feature a newsletter than can be delivered by email to those who sign up.
Century Foundation fellow and Iran analyst Geneive Abdo will lead the project and serve as editor for the Web site. The project is supported by a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
As Iran's internal crisis continues and information from inside the country becomes even more scarce, insideiran.org will be a critical resource, providing news analysis and provocative thinking that cannot be found elsewhere. This material is particularly relevant for policymakers, as the U.S. administration prepares to talk with Iran's leaders at the highest level of negotiations since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Despite the Iranian government's attempts to impose a technological blockade, insideiran.org will tap into the networks of commentators who have managed to find innovative ways to get their voices heard outside the country.
