Iran: end or start?

Tehran denied that there was "a cordial exchange" or "negotiation" between an Iranian diplomat and an envoy of the USpresident at the Afghanistan conference in The Hague.
American foreign minister Hilary Clinton said that Richard Holbrook had a brief and cordial exchange with the head of the Iranian delegation.

There also reportedly was handed a letter to the Iranian delegation, urging an intervention in the case of the search for missing American Robert Levinson who disappeared on Kish island in 2007.




The letter also asks to see in the cases of Roxana Saberi, American-Iranian journalist who is in Evin prison since February on charges of working "illegally" as a reporter and Esha Momeni, a student with California State university, who, since October 2008 is not allowed to leave the country before her trial.

the traditional Persian festival of nature. With this festival the Nowruz celebrations end and routine life resumes.
This is the thirteenth day and Iranians traditionally spend this day in outside nature with picnics, music, and playing group games. They eat traditional things like nuts.
People will also release goldfish into a pond or river as a symbol of freedom.
Sizdah Bedar tradition is over 4000 old and date back to the Zoroastrians, they asked the gods for rain and destroyed drought.
