Here is a link to a long, very thorough story of the present conflict in Iran published in World Policy Journal. It's written by Whit Mason who's bio is listed at the end of the article as:

*Whit Mason is a speechwriter and op-ed writer for the head of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo. He was a fellow of the Institute of Current World Affairs from 1998 to 2001.

I recommend the piece not because I know anything about either the author or the journal but because it's very thorough and quite interesting reading. It's one to put alongside other things one reads about the present state of affairs in Iran. Since we have absolutely no way to seriously assess the truth of any one, the best way is to read a great deal and begin to gather one's own consensus view.

Again, I'm not posting the article, it's much too long. Only the link.
