    Iran has dismantled several opposition Internet networks it says were backed by the US.
    Iran has dismantled several opposition Internet networks it says were backed by the US.

    The government said that the networks had been set up by Iranian opposition groups, which had encouraged a number of organised “American cyber war networks.”

    According to Iran’s official press, 30 suspects were arrested in a series of security operations.

    The Iranian government issued a statement after the arrests to say the US had been using Internet networks to undermine Iran's ruling system under a policy which sprang up during George W. Bush's presidency.

    The statement claimed the US Congress had approved a $400 million budget for covert Internet operations that encouraged the restoration of Iran's monarchy.

    Thank you, Iran, for helping the people shut down the US-UK intelligence’s *psychological operations* using deceptive terms like human rights, freedom, democracy, etcetera.

    STOP ALL THE HATE AND ANGER

    I am a human rights activist and do believe we all have the right to our opinions, and to having what ever way we need to believe in god. The key point is to practice being what god (what ever you believe in) has taught us to be, to be respectful of ALL other living things, be honest, be caring and compassionate, know that neither of us is the center of this universe or has a higher worth than ANYONE ELSE. It is hard enough to live us to these basic Godly expectations. Just Focus on being a God loving human being and if we all did that = this would be a peaceful world. PUT ASIDE EGO AND SELFISH NEEDS FOR POWER AND CONTROL OF OTHERS AND STOP JUDGING OTHERS, INSTEAD TAKE A GOOD HONEST LOOK IN THE MIRROR DAILYâ¦â¦â¦â¦ PEOPLE OF IRAN WILL BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIGHT MOTHER NATURE............
