After the implementation of Saudi Vision 2030, female journalists' contributions to political and economic matters, women's rights and issues, and social issues such as unemployment and terrorism decreased.

These reported contacts include a U.S. request that Tehran hand over individuals now in Iran whom the U.S. government believes are responsible for the deaths of nineteen U.S. servicemen in the June 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers building in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. These reports may well be mischaracterizations or exaggerations of what both governments acknowledge was a recent letter from the U.S. government to the Iranian government, a letter both sides describe as routine. Yet, it is also possible the reports are accurate; stranger things have happened--such as the Irancontra affair. Although any U.S. contact with Iran about Khobar, if true, would be a blockbuster story, the Iranian media reportage is in itself important for what it reveals about Iranian attitudes toward the United States and toward terrorism.</div><div></div><div></div><div>High-Level Discussions with Iran?

The al-Watan article was widely repeated in the Iranian press.</div><div></div><div></div><div>KhobarWhat caught the attention of the Iranian media was not so much the reported official contacts with the U.S. government but instead the reported U.S. demand for handing over specific individuals said to be responsible for the Khobar Towers bombing. This generated much comment across the political spectrum, from hardline newspapers like Jomhuri-ye Islami and Kayhan, as well as from moderates such as Akhbar-e Eghtesad (the latest incarnation of the reform paper the authorities keep shutting only to have it appear under a new name), and from the semi-official English-language Tehran Times.</div><div></div><div> 8d45195817</div>
