Aus dem Spiegel:
"..hieß es in Berichten örtlicher iranischer Zeitungen. "

Kann der Spiegel die lokalen Käseblätter nicht beim Namen nennen? Zumindest eines? Buh, Pfui! Abgeschrieben und nicht nachgeprüft! Da arbeitet ja selbst die Iranische StaatspropagandaTM professioneller.:lol:

Hmm, apropos: Mal sehen, was der englischsprachige Ableger des iranischen Rundfunks dazu so schreibt:

Iran: US nationals nabbed over 'illegal entry'
Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:50:02 GMT

Iran's security officials confirm the arrest of three American nationals in Western city of Marivan, charging the detainees with "illegal entry".

“The three, who have not been identified yet, were arrested on the Malakh- Khur border area in Marivan," Iraj Hassanzadeh, the deputy governor of Kurdistan for political-security affairs, told Fars news agency.

He said the 'middle-aged' men were traveling on Syrian and Iraqi visas, noting all those who try to 'illegally' cross Iran's borders will be arrested.

The US had earlier asked Swiss embassy in Tehran -- which looks after US interests in Iran as the two countries have no diplomatic ties -- to follow the case of the three Americans.

A Kurdish official in northern Iraq told AFP that the US nationals were backpackers who were arrested after warnings on the Iraqi side not to hike in the mountains because of the proximity of the border with Iran.

However, Colonel Anwar Haj Omar of the Halabja police force in northern Iraq linked the three Americans to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), according to Voices of Iraq.

Mal davon abgesehen, dass die Quellen hier genannt werden und damit nachprüfbar sind, fällt kein Wort von "Zionisten" und "jüdischen Journalisten". Das ist jetzt natürlich doof. Kein Wunder, dass der Spiegel auf anonyme Kaseblätter zurückgreifen muss, um ein wenig heiße Luft (also PropagandaTM) zu fabrizieren. Naja, aber immerhin wird vom staatlichen iranischen Sender eine Verbindung zur "CIA" erwähnt. Die Welt ist also noch in Ordnung.

Mousavi says trial confessions 'forced by torture'
Sun, 02 Aug 2009 15:52:32 GMT

As the opening of trial against Iranian opposition figures and protesters escalates feud, Mir-Hossein Mousavi says "medieval torture" was used to force confessions in the court.

In his first response to the airing of the mass trial, Mousavi said in a statement issued Sunday that the proceedings was "forced, un-Islamic and a sham."

Dismissing the veracity of the "admissions" that allegedly link the opposition to foreign powers with the aim of toppling the ruling system, Mousavi said he could not find anything worthwhile in the confessions.

“Instead, I heard deep cries describing their painful fate over these past 50 days. Crushed human beings who would have confessed to any other thing they were told to.”

He praised the detainees, saying that, if they had not resisted for 50 days, then "this show would have been put on weeks ago."

FM is the ‘most sensitive’ minister: MP

TEHRAN, Aug. 4 (MNA) – MP Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh has called that foreign minister the “most sensitive” ministerial post since Iran is facing serious international challenges.

A person must be chosen as a foreign minister who is capable of implementing a détente policy, Falahat-Pisheh told Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) in an interview published on Monday.

He said that a negative atmosphere created over Iran’s foreign policy that does not match the country’s strategic status.
