I suppose this is a US government consipiracy or some other hairbrained conspiracy theory? You think they don't have anyone who can read and write perfect Farsi and they have been forced to use Arabic? Also, online translation tools usually produce pretty poor English btw. Do you actually have experience with any other languages? It might be easy to convert two Latin based languages but I doubt Farsi and English have many similarities. That's why we still have human translators. Also Iran has a long long history or shooting itself in the foot as far as public relations with the outside world are concerned. It is pretty much standard operating procedure. I believe it is interal PR which it cares about and this could give their supporters a sense of empowerment. You do realize Iran is conducting a longstanding war against Internet opposition right now? People are being forced to log into their Facebook and Twitter accounts when they arrive at the airport in Iran in many cases and families of Facebook and Twitter posters have been threatened. What has just happened is hardly surprising. Do your research. Please… I suppose this is a US government consipiracy or some other hairbrained conspiracy theory?

For sure these people who has hacked the Twitter were Iranian, You don't know how much they spend to have very good group of computer and IT geniuses. They have a group of engineers about more that 2400 people only for a section in Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. They spend so much money for destroying everything. If you have an account on Facebook I would like to be you friend. Best Regards, Mahdad E. Hi Tad, My name is Mahdad, I am an opposition party member of Iran.

But more than anything else, this is what exactly they would do to intimidate the dissident voice through twitter which has been by far the most powerful means of communication for the Iranian green movement especially after the rigged election in June. If you think about what has just happened recently: after December 7th which was the anniversary of Iranian students uprising against oppression and dictatorship, they realized that none of the crackdowns, torture, rape and killings can intimidate people and they are able to organize massive protests, they put up another deceitful show by tearing Khomeini's image and projecting that this was done by the demonstrators. Why? to justify prosecution and execution of their opponents who supposedly have done this! And all of this in the eve of Moharram, which is the month that symbolizes for shiite muslims resistance and uprising against oppressors and memorial of martyrs. Students led protests in Iran will not stop during this month, instead they will be out again protesting the imprisonments, tortures and killings. Now, don't you think it makes sense for the regime to try to stop the non-stoppable by this kind of fearmongering -- especially since twitter has been instrumental in the Iranian dissidents' Green Movement?!
