Games

I keep track on the headlines on Iran with the international news stations. Not a day goes by that Iran is not in the news. Tension rising up and down, never a dull day you would say.

However, if you don't make an effort of keeping track, you will not notice anything in Iran's daily life. As westerners, we are more cautious and think about what might happen. At the same time, we try not to let those thoughts influence our life in Iran.

I guess it's worse not being in Iran, but still reading about it. And for the laste two weeks, new headlines appeared every few hours. Normally i would just go out in Tehran and feel that everything is ok. Can't do that security sense check right now.

But even with the sailor's drama making Iran hot news, i have no feeling of fear that anything bad will happen. Of course, i have to be realistic, and i am not a fortune teller either, but i feel that things will be ok. Noting, that I can only sense for our own situation.

For those of you that have no clue on what i'm talking about, i advise you to read the Iran files. No, just kidding. Just read the article behind the link below. It will give you a briefing on what's going on and what might happen, without getting into all the details. What an interesting game we are playing here...
