Latest decree from Tehran is that, “until further notice,” CNN is banned. At a recent news conference on Iran’s nuclear research, CNN botched a translation of comments by Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The network mistranslated “nuclear technology” into “nuclear weapons.”
However, Iran is not claiming mistranslations for the apocalyptic Ahmadinejad’s comments calling for Israel to be “wiped off the map” or terming the Holocaust a “myth.” Those were all too accurate.
