How the corporate media alienate Iran: Prof. Mojtahedzadeh
Foreign Policy Journal / Kourosh Ziabari
07-Apr-2009 (4 comments)

Prof. Pirouz Mojtahedzadeh is a prominent Iranian scholar of foreign policy and international relations. Alongside Prof. Hamid Mowlana, he is considered to be one of Iran’s foreign policy academia giants. Despite his non-alignment to governmental organizations and his partial residence in London, where he chairs the Urosevic Research Foundation, Mojtahedzadeh explicitly defends Iran’s “inalienable right to possess peaceful nuclear energy” and criticizes the U.S. of applying double standards in the Middle East. He has been long avoided by the mainstream media outlets, as he represents an independent and objective voice regarding the issues of Iran

When all else fails

Start mud slinging.

Hadi Khorsandi is an ingenious satirist but  not known to have positive opinions of many--sort of equal opportunity put down merchant.

Fred, I'm interested in what you have to say...

about the interview, not a comedian's views that you don't even bother to provide a link to or more details!

In regard to Mojtahedzadeh's qualifications, you'd do yourself a favor by reading them, before starting your mudslinging ritual:

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirouz_Mojtahedzadeh

BTW, the term "yellow journalism" is a complement for Keyhan (published in Iran), a more appropriate description should be "brown journalism". Having said that, what's wrong with being an advisor to Ahmadinejad? I hope he can give that buffoon some good advice to keep him and Iran out of trouble by controling his BS.

It would have been much better if you had the decency to provide at least one sample of, or a reference to, what Mowlana has penned in Keyhan that has ruffled you pashm.

Now Fred, you were saying...?

Giants indeed

Ziabari says: " Pro. Pirouz Mojtahedzadeh is a prominent Iranian scholar of foreign policy and international relations. Alongside Prof. Hamid Mowlana, he is considered to be one of Iran’s foreign policy academia giants.'

The interested should look up what Hadi Khorsandi has to say about Mojtahedzadeh's qualification and allegiance. The other chap, Molawna is none other than Ahmadinejad adviser and a longtime columnist for the Islamist regime's yellow Journalism flagship, Keyhan.

Very informative interview

by Ostaad on Tue Apr 07, 2009 10:17 PM PDT

Iran has been dealing with the "Arab" problem in a very skillful manner. Iran must not react to every provocation by the so-called Arab leaders who fear her influence on their own people. It has become very obvious that Iran knows very well where its diplomatic priorities are, when one compares Iran's handling of Bahrain objections to the remarks of one of Iran's influential personalities about that country with Iran's low key and ambivalent reaction to Morocco's severing diplomatic relations.

Most importantly, I wish the interviewer has asked Mr. Mojtahedzadeh for an explanation of Ahmadinejad's harmful and amateurish remarks about the Holocaust. I am very eager to know if there was/is any rationale behind those remarks, since the net results of those remarks have been harmful to Iran's interests to a large scale.
