IRAN GOVERNMENT: REOPEN POLL CENTER
CNN: The National Institute for Research and Opinion Polls was closed last month after publishing a survey showing nearly three-quarters of Iranians favored resuming talks with arch-foe the United States. The issue has pitted moderate President Mohammad Khatami's government against the hard-line, conservative judiciary at a time when Khatami is seeking to boost his authority in the Islamic Republic.
"The government hopes the ban on the polling center will be removed as soon as possible," government spokesman Abdollah Ramazanzadeh told a news conference.
