The Latest from Iran (31 August): The Failure of the Charm Offensive

0650 GMT: We begin today with a close look at the surprise turn in the course of the Non-Aligned Movement's summit in Tehran, taking our title from Scott Peterson's account:

Iran's charm offensive and attempts to seize the high ground were dampened by the words of the UN chief [Ban Ki-Moon] and by Mohamed Morsi, the newly elected president of Egypt who became the first Egyptian leader to visit since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution.

We have posted a special analysis, "Regime Show Collapses as Morsi Gives Tehran an "Islamic Awakening" on Syria."
