US Government launches virtual embassy in Iran
In an address to Iranians during the Nowruz holiday, President Obama has announced that the US government has set up a "Virtual Embassy," where Iranians can access information that the regime is blocking. Such an Electronic Curtain is seen as a block and the embassy was launched despite objections from the Iranian government. A White House blog post reveals the embassy will grant access to world news and facts on the US policy and culture.
