Iran: Website slammed for offer talk to US
Iran's Culture Ministry on Wednesday sharply criticized a conservative news website that offered Iranians a chance to pose questions to a Farsi-speaking spokesman for the US State Department, who would then respond.
The alef.ir website posted a notice Tuesday saying readers could pose questions on the site and that US State Department spokesman Alan Eyre would respond to them. It took down the post late Wednesday as authorities stepped up criticism. (AP)
