Salam Bar HameGee,

I have heard that the Iranian interest section in Washigton requires 
Iranians who also hold U.S. citizenship (and no green card) to condone 
their U.S citizenship before renewing their Iranian passports to buy
their Moafee's.  Is this true?  If so, what are the consequences of 
this action if or when the State department of the U.S. finds out?  
Is there a way to buy Moafee without condoning U.S. citizenship?
Any information will be appreciated.  Thanks Va KhodaFez.

Masoud.

12/29 (DJ) Iraqi Warplanes Make New Incursion Into 'No-Fly Zone'

    MANAMA -AP- Iraqi warplanes made new incursions into the ''no-fly
zone'' over southern Iraq but they were not confronted by the military
coalition enforcing the ban, a U.S. military spokesman said.
    Lieutenant Colonel Howard Carter, based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
said the Iraqi Air Force yesterday made ''additional sorties across the
32nd parallel,'' the northern border of the zone where Iraqi military
flights have been banned by the United Nations.
    U.S. warplanes on Sunday shot down an Iraqi plane that flew into the
zone. That was the first known incursion since the zone was imposed on
Aug. 27 to protect Shiite Muslim rebels who have taken refuge in the
region's marshes.
    Iraqi planes yesterday flew as far as 20 miles into the zone and
planes of the U.S.-led coalition were prepared to intercept them but the
Iraqi planes flew out and no shots were fired, Carter said.
    He was reading a statement issued by the Pentagon late yesterday and
declined to provide further details.

	That's simple. The couple gets divorce so that the woman
	can marry someone who is rarely in mood and the man can
	marry a woman who is always horny.

	If the two victims were raped on different streets in the
	city, then the rapists should receive equal punishment.
	If one of them was raped in the street and the other one in
	a main avenue, than the rapist who did it in the main avenue
	should receive more severe punishment.

  I just came back from Iran. My last trip to Iran was in 1978.
  I went to pay the required money for military service to buy it
  away. The trip was successful and everything went OK. The process
  took 3 weeks and their regulations seemed to be very well defined
  for this task. 

In case one likes to know documents which are needed are:
  
  1. Asle shenaasnamehe jadid (if it is old ID card and it should have 
     been renewed before, then they will send you to renew it. Some of 
     old ones do not need renewal).
  2. Asle Akharin madrake tahsili ke arseshyAAbi shodeh bAshad.
     (they will accept whatever degree you show them as your
      latest degree, but if later they find out about a cheating
      one will loose his money and 'moafi').
      If the degree is not 'arzeshyAbi-shodeh'(which was my case)
      you can still get a moafi for one year and exit permit with 
      paying another 50000 toomans and come out of the country only
      if you leave your asle-shenAsnAme there back so that your
      parents can continue the 'arzeshyAbi' process and after that
      take the permanent 'moafi card' and 50000 toomans back on your 
      behalf (in this case you need a vekAlatnameh too). If one sends
      a vekAlatnameh for his parents they could do all of the process 
      on his behalf. VekAlatnameh will be 100% necessary for 
      'arseshyaabi' but not for the other things.
 
  3.  4 photos.
  4.  Money (they will tell you what to do with the money after
      'Tashkiile-parvandeh'
  5.  If you have not been anounced as 'ghaayeb' before the 1.1.1371
      you must certainly pay 2500000 toomans. Students recognized by
      VezArate-oloom are not 'ghaayeb'
      For the rest it goes according to the educational table from 350000
      tooman upto 2500000 tooman.
 
  6. Check so that you are not mamnoo-ol-khoroog from other organizations
     first, before going to iran. If one has given any Ta-a-hod for
     recieving 'arze daneshjooee' he has to pay that money too before 
     comming out of Iran.

  If one needs to konw more info I might be able to help, send me an email.

Hey, this is a very hot item.  Well, why don't you get her a nice diamond ring,
a trip to a nice place and tell her she is the most beautiful and sexist woman
in the world!. I promise you that she will be all yours. You know you just have
to be nice to a woman, very nice. You wanted her did not you?. That is why you
are married to her in the first place!.

 IRAN WARRNS ARAB COUNCIL AGAINST DICTATORSHIP
    NICOSIA, Jan 5, Reuter - Iran on Tuesday told Arab governments discussing
united action against Moslem militants that they could never suppress Islamic
movements by force. 
    Tehran Radio said in a commentary that a meeting of 16 Arab interior
ministers in Tunis showed that the Arab League was acting in ``complete
coordination with the West'' to fight the spread of ``revolutionary Islam.'' 
    ``The governments of the region...want to label all Moslem intellectual
forces opposed to the status quo as terrorists and radicals and jail, kill or
destroy them,'' it said. 
    ``But the fact is that the idea of Islamic revival rests in the heart of
every Moslem and one can never fight an idea with naked force and
suppression.'' 
    ``Do the Arab League ministers want to follow in the footsteps of (Israeli
Prime Minister) Yitzhak Rabin?'' the radio asked, recalling what it termed the
Jewish state's policy of killing, jailing and deporting Moslems. 
    Egypt and Tunisia, who along with Algeria are waging open war on Moslem
militants, called for a united security strategy at the opening session of the
three-day Tunis meeting on Monday. 
    They blame Iran's clerical leaders for inspiring what they say is an
international terrorist conspiracy. 
    Tehran Radio said Western media were using terms like ``terrorist'' and
``fundamentalist'' to portray Islamic movements as violent and opposed to
progress. 
    ``Adapting to Islamic laws in no way precludes progress. Some people who
are under the harshest kind of suppression in some countries may resort to
violence, but this does not mean that violence is a basic element of the
Islamic movement,'' it said.

Subject: Strong quake hits southern Iran, houses damaged
Organization: Computer Science Department, Stanford University.
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 16:58:47 GMT

 
 	ATHENS, Greece (UPI) -- A fairly strong earthquake hit southern Iran
 early Thursday, damaging houses in Fars province, but no casualties were
 immediately reported, the official Islamic Republic News Agency said.
 	The quake, measuring 5.8 on the open-ended Richter scale, occurred at
 about 2:21 a.m., with the epicenter about 470 miles south of Tehran, in
 Fars province.
 	An IRNA dispatch monitored in Athens said houses in the outskirts of
 Firouzabad and Farrashband were severely damaged, and one village in the
 area ``suffered most severely.''
 	The news agency however quoted a local official as saying casualties
 were expected to be light because most area residents were living in
 tents after a previous earthquake that killed one person and injured
 three several months ago.
 	Thursday's quake came less than six hours after a quake measuring 5.6
 on the Richter scale, shook Khorassan province in northeastern Iran at
 8:48 p.m. Wednesday. The epicenter of the Khorassan quake was about 375
 miles northeast of Tehran. There were no immediate reports of casualties
 or damage.
 	Both Fars province, where Thursday's quake occurred, and Khorassan
 province in northeastern Iran, are notorious for killer earthquakes, but
 are seldom shaken at the same time.
 	Iran sits on an earthquake belt stretching from Greece through Turkey
 and going on to Afghanistan and the western mountains of Pakistan.
 Earthquakes measuring between 3 and 4.9 on the Richter scale are
 reported in Iran every few weeks.
