Methodology

The methodology for this blog's underlying data is straightforward. I have read news articles about Iran from several dozens of worlwide outlets for a number of years, and had noticed a pattern of behavior and policies by the Islamic Republic of Iran's government.  Starting in May, 2018, I began chronicling the pattern in this blog.  I view a compilation of worldwide daily news about Iran generated mainly by Google News and post the significant stories reflective of "the day."  These news items cover a spectrum of topics from World Cup soccer to the environment to the JCPOA to OPEC.  Anyone can regularly assess such information and watch the trajectory of Iran’s government, and in the process consider for themself if the Supreme Leader and those in power are acting as a responsible nation-state or in ways to spread the 1979 Revolution.  Because of the import of the News, it is found on the opening page of the blog.
