Iran's nuclear propaganda machine in the New Scientist
I've written a commentary in the New Scientist on how the Iranian propaganda machine, maybe for the first time, has successfully sold its people its own vision and narrative on its nuclear program.
Unfortunately, the online version of the article is not available for free. But I'm going to post it on my blog next week. Hope they wouldn't mind.

re: online republication; they just might mind... which brings this notion to mind; a mail-list. much can be disseminated online a little more discreetly that way. in fact, passing URLs out in a mail-list may be considered nonpublic and effectively 'nonpublishing'. maybe. i don't know, just a thought.
(...then i think to look closely at top... -it seems you already have a mail-list... -never mind!)
:D
...regardless, i'd be interested to read the article.

Hossein:
Not having read the New Scientist article, how do your opinions square with the concerns Amir Taheri expressed about the location of nuclear facilities in earthquake zones, environmental implications for countries on the Bushehr peninsula and the absense of any plans for the disposal of spent radioactive materials.
And the biggest question of all: if Iran only has about 7 years' worth of fissionable materials to supply civilian purposes, why bother... ...other than to build arms?

From dimension of Persian politeness, do use the dictionary software. Not a bad idea.
No hard feelings

hossein, your spelling is really bad - so many careless typos you need to sort it out: "zioism" "porblems". Its really noticeable and not excusable considering that you can edit posts very easily.
Its the first rule of good journalism - accuracy.

I read it in the paper version of the magazine. A good article!
