The Sunday Telegraph, October 9 - Iran's new hardline president has placed his country's nuclear programme under the control of militant commanders of the Revolutionary Guards, the military's most committed wing.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has launched a purge of moderates in national and provincial government since his election two months ago, has drafted in fellow radical revolutionaries to top administrative posts - a move that will heighten Western fears over Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Daily Telegraph, October 7 - Considering that eight British soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq this summer, the Government's reaction was bizarre. Instead of the Prime Minister or a member of his Cabinet standing up and pointing the finger of blame, it was left initially to an unnamed senior official.

In a letter to the European Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana,  NCRI's Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Mohammad Mohaddessin, expressed concern over the deteriorating situation of human rights in Iran, Tehran's continuing drive to obtain nuclear weapons and its increasing meddling in Iraq.
