Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Iran/Afghanistan Conflict Intensifies

Army divisions from nine Iranian provinces are heading for the border with Afghanistan for military maneuvers that could begin as early as this weekend. This follows weeks of increased tension between the two countries, which may go to war in the next few weeks.

According to the Washington Post, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright may be meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi. This would be the highest level of contact between the two countries since the hostage crisis of 1979.

Guest:

  • Dr. Azar Nafisi, Professor of Cultural Studies at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. She was formerly a Professor at the University of Tehran and was forced out for refusing to wear a veil.
