The situation in Iran

I have to admit that I don’t often feel like we get very accurate or adequate news about Iran in the US. As Iran lives with the aftermath of what looks to be a rigged election, I wonder even more strongly whether our news is at all useful? In that context, it helps to have people who can connect to other sources. One I have often linked to is Juan Cole, and then there is this piece from Britain’s Channel 4:
