  • PROTESTS and REGIME SUPPRESSION in POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar
    THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY n OCTOBER 2020 n PN85 PROTESTS AND REGIME SUPPRESSION IN POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar Green Movement members tangle with Basij and police forces, 2009. he nationwide protests that engulfed Iran in late 2019 were ostensibly a response to a 50 percent gasoline price hike enacted by the administration of President Hassan Rouhani.1 But in little time, complaints Textended to a broader critique of the leadership. Moreover, beyond the specific reasons for the protests, they appeared to reveal a deeper reality about Iran, both before and since the 1979 emergence of the Islamic Republic: its character as an inherently “revolutionary country” and a “movement society.”2 Since its formation, the Islamic Republic has seen multiple cycles of protest and revolt, ranging from ethnic movements in the early 1980s to urban riots in the early 1990s, student unrest spanning 1999–2003, the Green Movement response to the 2009 election, and upheaval in December 2017–January 2018. The last of these instances, like the current round, began with a focus on economic dissatisfaction and then spread to broader issues. All these movements were put down by the regime with characteristic brutality. © 2020 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. SAEID GOLKAR In tracking and comparing protest dynamics and market deregulation, currency devaluation, and the regime responses since 1979, this study reveals that cutting of subsidies. These policies, however, spurred unrest has become more significant in scale, as well massive inflation, greater inequality, and a spate of as more secularized and violent.

  • Radiological Conditions in Selected Areas of Southern Iraq with Residues of Depleted Uranium
    RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT REPORTS SERIES During the conflict in Iraq in 2003, depleted uranium Radiological Conditions in Selected Areas of Southern Iraq with Residues of Depleted Uranium munitions were employed by the Coalition Forces. As a result, residues of depleted uranium contaminated both Radiological Conditions in localized areas of land and vehicles. The possible health effects of such residues on the Iraqi population living in the vicinity of the affected areas raised concerns. In 2004, the Iraqi Minister of Environment made a formal Selected Areas of request of the United Nations Environment Programme for a comprehensive field assessment. In early 2005, a meeting involving UNEP, the World Health Organization Southern Iraq with and the IAEA took place to discuss, plan and coordinate work on the assessment of depleted uranium residues in southern Iraq. In 2006, during a follow-up meeting that included UNEP, the IAEA and the Radiation Protection Residues of Depleted Uranium Centre of the Iraqi Ministry of Environment, the IAEA was invited to undertake a radiological assessment of the data collected by the Radiation Protection Centre. This report describes the methods, assumptions and parameters used by the IAEA in the assessment of the post-conflict radiological conditions of specified locations for local populations and in the environment. The report uses the results provided by UNEP from the 2006–2007 sampling campaigns, and presents these Report by an results, findings and conclusions. international group of experts INTERNATIONAL

  • Agroclimatic Zones Map of Iran Explanatory Notes
    AGROCLIMATIC ZONES MAP OF IRAN EXPLANATORY NOTES E. De Pauw1, A. Ghaffari2, V. Ghasemi3 1 Agroclimatologist/ Research Project Manager, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo Syria 2 Director-General, Drylands Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Maragheh, Iran 3 Head of GIS/RS Department, Soil and Water Research Institute (SWRI), Tehran, Iran INTRODUCTION The agroclimatic zones map of Iran has been produced to as one of the outputs of the joint DARI-ICARDA project “Agroecological Zoning of Iran”. The objective of this project is to develop an agroecological zones framework for targeting germplasm to specific environments, formulating land use and land management recommendations, and assisting development planning. In view of the very diverse climates in this part of Iran, an agroclimatic zones map is of vital importance to achieve this objective. METHODOLOGY Spatial interpolation A database was established of point climatic data covering monthly averages of precipitation and temperature for the main stations in Iran, covering the period 1973-1998 (Appendix 1, Tables 2-3). These quality-controlled data were obtained from the Organization of Meteorology, based in Tehran. From Iran 126 stations were accepted with a precipitation record length of at least 20 years, and 590 stations with a temperature record length of at least 5 years. The database also included some precipitation and temperature data from neighboring countries, leading to a total database of 244 precipitation stations and 627 temperature stations. The ‘thin-plate smoothing spline’ method of Hutchinson (1995), as implemented in the ANUSPLIN software (Hutchinson, 2000), was used to convert this point database into ‘climate surfaces’.

  • Appendix 1 7.1.04
    APPENDIX I SECTOR: Security and Law Enforcement Since the last report, an additional $1.5 billion in Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) funding has been added to security efforts: $500 million in the revised 2004 Iraqi budget published in early April and $1 billion in funds from the UN escrow account for the Oil for Food program. Of the additional $1.5 billion, $1 billion was added for training, equipping and sustaining Iraqi security forces. Another $377 million was added to support the following three initiatives: the Accelerated Iraqi Reconstruction Program, the Rapid Regional Response Program (R3P) and the Middle Euphrates Program. The remaining $123 million was added to the Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP) allowing Coalition field commanders to address humanitarian needs in their region of authority. The additional funds for Iraqi security forces have been applied toward new and emerging requirements as a direct result of the more difficult security situation since early April. As noted in the Executive Summary, Lieutenant General David Petraeus arrived in early June to lead the Office of Security Transition-Iraq (OST-I). At his request the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) established the “Iraqi Security Forces Quick Response Program,” a new project that was separately reported and notified on June 24, 2004. This $40 million project will allow OST-I to make a series of diverse, relatively small purchases in support of the Iraqi Armed Forces, the Iraqi National Guard (ING, formerly the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps), Iraqi Police Service, Department of Border Enforcement, and the Facilities Protection Service. This program will be funded out of the IRRF by reallocating $20 million from the Border Enforcement project and $20 million from the Facilities Protection Service.
