From the American traditional media perspective, Iran is a monolith-of-an-Islamic-Republic, monochrome or monotone, and altogether lethal. In short, impressions of Iran are probably similar to impressions of the US abroad--not terribly positive.
It's something of a pleasure, then, to take a look at some Iranian blogs, both within and without the country.
Here are a few:
rottengods.blogspot.com (regarding the recent Annapolis Middle East conference: "Islamic Republic of Iran's regime know that after peace in Palestine region, uproar will come and catch this regime in Iran so they are pushing so hard to bring a new chaos in that region. Chaos in Middle-East is vital for Islamic Republic of Iran's dictatorship.")
viewfromiran.blogspot.com (regarding the relative weakness of the Iranian government: "A government that stones a man for adultery, sentences a woman to lashings for promoting the rights of women, imprisons professors, blocks social networking sites, and locks up union leaders is weak. W-E-A-K.")
persianperspective.wordpress.com (an expatriate's view: "Iran is the first country to have red white and green for a flag,
A beautiful country ran by the wrong people, But still the best part of Middle East.")
hriran.org (a human rights blog)
opiumandsaffron.blogspot.com (self-described as "Casual Observations on Iranian Culture, History and Politics")
A fairly comprehensive list of Iranian blogs can be found at iranianblogs.happyhost.org
