NEW from this week’s @newyorker. Dexter Filkins has been asking for years for permission to visit Iran. Then, in February, he got a call informing him a visa had been approved. It would expire in six days. “I ran for the airport.” https://t.co/RlH4zHQMxY

Dexter Filkins' 'Letter from Iran' has some stunning quotes, including from Faezeh Rafsanjani: "The regime has lost all popular support, and yet it is incapable of change. The result is that the Iranian people have lost hope. We are hopeless now.” https://t.co/vHcz2HtO3C

A few quibbles, but the new Dexter Filkins on Iran (as it to be expected) is excellent: https://t.co/aKUR3Nbf11
