Iranian of the Day

this fool

first needs to get a new denture, before he does an interview LOL

second, only an ex-aftabeh dozt like this POS can pile on this much crap in a single interview.

it is TRULY A DISGRACE to have such idiots as this guy being an editor of a major 'newspaper' in our country.

WOW,WOW!! Only in IRI

He must have been Ahmadinejad's teacher in lying. It is amazing how these people can lie with straight face. It is laughable for this guy to be a head of a newspaper. Only in Islamic Iran that would be a possibility, any place else he would be a garbage man.

The Tie

what is the significance of the reporter wearing a tie? is he a state reporter? i believe this is a first?

Wasn't he a Torturer In Evin for Vezarat Ettelaat

In my trips to Iran, I've heard from many people that Shariatmadari was actually an interogator and torturer in Evin 15-20 years ago, and as a reward for a job well done, he was given Kayhan !

Eternal damnation and hell to Ruhollah and Jimmy Carter.

Payandeh Iran, our Ahuraie Fatherland

WOW..I DON`T KNOW WHERE TO START..

Shari`atmadari is the definition of underdevelopoed=aghab oftadeh

He talks as if he lives in the clouds(perhaps he does, since he is so rich and farbeh). There are no crimes against humanity! no one got killed during the protests! he said there are alot of people that don`t think alike and they live in Iran and "no one" is bothering them!!!

Then why did they kill a 19 years old for being a member of "Anjoman e padeshahi".

Is he high? why was he using his hands as if he didn`t have any control over them?

Why is he defending the government? isn`t his job to criticising them? is everything perfect in anything this government doing? any plan that government enforces is perfect and there are no flaws? even if the plan is well intended it cannot be perfect, there is always room to criticise and that is his job and he is not doing his job.

He is a perfect example of how and why Iran is not moving to the right direction. It is because of people like him and his idealogy and blieves which a country could be kept behind. He actually confessed and said repeatedly that many people in Iran are not qualified to be involved in politics which is the exact opposite direction of democracy which is to get "everyone" involved in polotics and discussion about everything. He said "Mr. Sanei is not a qualified person his ideas are not worth to get attention".

Who is qualified to make that decision I ask? 

Op-ed!

One day he will have to reveal whose idea it was to issue the fake edition of the Kahayan among the Green Movement prisoners in Evin and Kahrizak. Was it the Chinese or the North Koreans?

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

the newspapers in Iran

 are excellent to be used as "toilet paper " 

What's the point of featuring this guy?

I have nothing against a feature about a pro IRI person , but at least someone who has a say in the system and knowing his position would add to our understanding of IRI's political landscape. 

Not some no-body newspaper editor/whatever who has no role. People in Iran who are not fooled by IRI, never waste money reading any of these newspapers, they are a waste of trees and the paper they are written on. 

So what? he is another "NOKAREH IR". Such a long interview by some nobody guy. Very long pointless feature.

Shariatmadari's Bio

Hossein Shariatmadari is the managing editor of Kayhan, a conservative Iranian newspaper.

Before the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Shariatmadari was allegedly tortured by Iranian Shah's Police or SAVAK (which later became Islamic Republic's SAVAMA).

A strong supporter of president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he has been described as being "a close confidant of Iran’s supreme leader" Ali Khamenei, and as having "links" to Iran's intelligence services.On February 12, 2009, Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of hardliner newspaper Kayhan, wrote a controversial article suggesting former President Muhammad Khatami might be assassinated if he ran again for president, as had ex-president of Pakistan's Binazir Bhutto.

After the controversial 2009 election and weeks of protest, Shariatmadari wrote an editorial in Kayhan alleging that defeated candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi was trying to "escape punishment for murdering innocent people, holding riots, cooperating with foreigners and acting as America's fifth column inside the country" and called for Mousavi and former reformist President Mohammad Khatami to be tried in court for "horrible crimes and treason."

Ahem ...
