To add to the above another neutral point of view is that little could be said in favor or against either of the above mentioned positions. The reasoning is that one cannot personally dismiss that they have been leaked authentically and are against the wishes of US authorities. Moreover, the...
What are the members views on Wikileaks?
Iranian Majalis (Parliament) speaker, Ali Larijani, believes that Wikileaks is providing misinformation in ways and therefore could be a tactic in its own right. I have actually thought of this before myself. Julian Assange is being made to appear as...
It lags much when loading, which is likely to deter many users. Apart from this I would say this indeed a good initial effort/platform for further add-on improvements, which may in the long run put it in competition with the more complex Google Maps service. Below is a screen shot with the...

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
This is how the U.S. government and American media jointly disseminate propaganda: in the immediate wake of some...
Disregarding the other information contained in the article, this reflects a very poor knowledge of the Iranian military. To name just one cruise missile in Iranian hands, there is the locally-manufactured Nasr-1. Other examples are the Kowsar, Noor, and Tondar series.

WikiLeaks Founder on the Run, Chased by Turmoil

UN ask US to probe rights abuses after WikiLeaks'' exposure
New York, Oct 23 (PTI) The UN has asked the US administration to probe the involvement of American forces'' in human rights abuses, summary executions and war crimes in following the "largest classified military leak" detailing...
Disabling or crippling the Busher plant would only compel Iran to invest further, make it a higher national priority and ensure more information security. In terms of the Iranian nuclear energy program time line, an idealistic Stuxnet attack would only be a blimp, one of delay and not one of...
I'll attempt to be brief for it is an exhaustive topic. From the Iranian perspective, they have disclosed enough information and have even invited inspectors, allowed for the reports, and even addressed specific points on them. It is only the politicization of the situation which has brought it...
Namaste!
Indeed we did have a round of discussion on the Stuxnet matter. The problem with reports concerning the Stuxnet case is that they are largely made out of firstly preconceived notions about Iran's ability in the area and secondly on the basis of speculation alone. There is nothing...
Could you quote from a news source (preferably an Iranian one) as to where Iran claimed 'light evading stealth bombers.' Also, as to the Karrar UVAC, you're connecting two unrelated parts of the speech. Ahmadinejad stated that Iran wishes for a message of peace but it will not compromise it's...
Firstly, the 1968 Arab-Israeli war did not involve the active participation of all Arab-majority states so saying they 'defeated all the Arab world' is false from the go-ahead. Secondly, your are completely discounting the foreign supplies to Israel and the role of foreign intelligence in their...
The assumption here is that Iranian SSMs are linked to an integrated network rather than being independent stand-alone systems, whilst being designed specifically as such. As such, I don't find it plausible.

A 'truth-be-told' type factual answer, I obviously cannot provide of course and nor can anyone else for that matter who is unconnected to the program. What can be offered at best are speculations and analysis both in favor and against it. At best I can provide my own derived justifications to...
It wasn't referring to behind-the-scenes intentions or motives-- the Iranian government (and bureaucrats) at most is least moved by them. I was referring to the remark itself only. Understandably, you can imagine it to forge some notions in the minds of ordinary Iranians on the street.
