Iran Special Reports
Special Report: Metals & Mining - Gulf states target copper
The Middle East is well placed to take advantage of a anticipated surge in global copper prices.

Special Report: Iran - Regime prepares to face down critics
The year ahead is certain to be a difficult one for Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, not least for his economic policies.
