Iran Ban on CNN
Aussie Dave | Jan 17, 2006 | 0 comments
Iranian President Mahmoud “Gorilla Boy” Ahmadinejad has banned CNN from working in Iran after a translation error resulted in him being misquoted.
IRNA reported Monday that the Iranian government banned CNN journalists from working in the country after a translation error broadcast by CNN mistakenly quoted Iran’s president as saying his nation has the right to build nuclear weapons.
Apparently, what he really said was that his nation has the right to use nuclear weapons. He never said that they had to be built by Iran.
